A specific apparatus designed to attach to the chassis of a mid-size sedan, enabling it to tow a trailer or other compatible load. This equipment typically consists of a receiver tube that accepts a ball mount or other towing accessory. It transforms a standard passenger vehicle into one capable of light-duty hauling.
The addition of this equipment enhances the vehicle’s utility, expanding its capabilities beyond typical passenger transport. This enables owners to transport items such as small trailers, boats, or recreational equipment, increasing the practicality and versatility of the vehicle. The development and availability of these hitches reflect a growing consumer demand for multi-purpose vehicles.
