towing

Most SUVs big enough will be built on truck frames and sit just as high. Do you raise the tongue once the ball is locked on? You should be able to set the wd bars without there being any tension on them with this method. If you’re not familiar, here is the procedure;
1) drop the coupler on the ball and lock it on
2) raise the tongue of the trailer back up. This will raise the back of your tow vehicle too.
3) snap up the bars. If still difficult, raise the tongue higher and try again.
I could snap up the brackets on my old hitch with my fingers using this method, no tools required.

Do the same to unhitch. Raise the tongue to remove the tension, then undo the bars. Lower the the tongue to release the coupler then raise it again off the ball. You’ll want a power tongue jack as it’s a lot of raising and lowering but the bars should be easy.
