Engineered for Safety & Performance

Six engineering standards that make TowSmart the smart choice for towing accessories — designed, tested, and built to perform in demanding conditions.

SAE-Rated Hitch Components

SAE certified

Every TowSmart hitch ball and ball mount is tested and rated to SAE standards, ensuring reliable load capacity and safe towing performance for Class I through Class V applications.

DOT-Compliant Lighting

DOT approved

TowSmart trailer lights and clearance markers meet all DOT/FMVSS-108 requirements for road-legal visibility, keeping you compliant and safe on every haul.

Corrosion-Resistant Finishes

Saltwater tough

Zinc-plated and powder-coated surfaces protect against rust and saltwater corrosion — critical for Florida boaters and trailer owners towing in coastal environments.

Universal Fit Systems

Plug & tow

Engineered plug-in adapters and wiring kits with universal vehicle compatibility, so you can connect your trailer to virtually any tow vehicle without custom modifications.

Adjustable Ball Mounts

Up to 12,500 lb

Multi-position ball mount bars allow precise height adjustment for level towing across different vehicle-trailer combinations, up to 12,500 lb capacity.

Anti-Theft Locking Systems

Theft deterrent

Receiver locks, coupler locks, and keyed-alike systems safeguard your hitch and trailer against theft — peace of mind whether parked at home or at the boat ramp.

Built for Florida

Towing in Southwest Florida

From boat ramps on the Caloosahatchee to weekend camping at Koreshan, TowSmart accessories are engineered to handle Florida's salt air, heat, and marine environments.

Boat Trailer Ready

Hitch balls, coupler locks, and trailer lighting built to withstand saltwater spray and humid coastal conditions. Zinc-plated finishes resist corrosion at every boat ramp in Lee County.

RV & Camper Towing

Adjustable ball mounts and Class III-V receiver accessories for towing travel trailers and campers to Florida state parks and campgrounds. Level towing keeps your rig safe on I-75.

Utility & Work Trailers

Contractors across Cape Coral and Fort Myers rely on TowSmart receiver pins, safety chains, and wiring kits to haul equipment, landscaping trailers, and building materials safely.

Jet Ski & Watercraft

Lightweight PWC trailers need the right hitch ball size and wiring. TowSmart plug-in adapters and clearance lights keep your jet ski trailer road-legal from Sanibel to Pine Island.

How to Choose the Right Hitch Components

Hitch Balls & Ball Mounts

Hitch Ball Sizing: Match your hitch ball diameter (1-7/8", 2", or 2-5/16") to your trailer coupler. The wrong size creates a dangerous connection.
Ball Mount Drop/Rise: Measure the difference between your receiver height and coupler height. TowSmart adjustable mounts handle up to 6" of drop or rise for level towing.
Weight Rating: Always choose a hitch ball and mount rated above your trailer's Gross Trailer Weight (GTW). Class ratings range from Class I (2,000 lb) to Class V (17,000 lb).

Receiver Pins & Locks

Receiver Hitch Pins: Secure your ball mount in the receiver tube. Basic clip pins work for everyday use; locking pins add theft protection.
Coupler Locks: Prevent unauthorized hookup to your trailer when parked. Essential for boat trailers left at marinas or storage yards.
Keyed-Alike Systems: Use a single key for your receiver lock and coupler lock — convenient security without juggling multiple keys.
