Question: what is a class 1 trailer hitch?
Answer: Class I hitches are weight carrying (WC) hitches rated up to 2000 lbs. gross trailer weight (GTW) with a maximum trailer tongue weight (TW) of 200 lbs. A Class I hitch usually has a 1-1/4" square receiver opening. A higher class drawbar does not increase the towing capacity of the hitch.
