Whether you're hauling livestock, towing a utility trailer, or moving heavy equipment, knowing your tongue weight is critical for safe towing. That's exactly why we're excited to now carry Weigh Safe — a brand known for their innovative hitches with built-in weight scales that take the guesswork out of loading.
What Makes Weigh Safe Hitches Different?
Most traditional ball mounts are designed purely for connection — they get your trailer coupled to your truck, but they don't tell you anything about your load. Weigh Safe changed the game by integrating a patented tongue weight scale directly into the hitch. This means you can:
- Weigh your load at home before you ever hit the road
- Make adjustments to prevent dangerous trailer sway
- Stay within safe towing limits every single trip
All Weigh Safe hitches are built from high-strength 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless-steel components, giving you durability that holds up to heavy commercial use.

Which Weigh Safe Hitch Is Right for You?
Choosing the right hitch comes down to a few key factors:
- Receiver Size: Do you have a 2" or 2.5" receiver on your truck?
- Drop/Rise Needed: Measure from your trailer coupler's center to your receiver tube — that's your required drop
- Weight Capacity: Check your trailer's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and match accordingly
- Scale Features: If you want the built-in scale, look for models that include the WS05
