Description
The McHitch forged tow tongue 4 inch drop is designed for heavy-duty towing where strength and geometry matter most. Made from forged chromoly steel, it outperforms pressed steel alternatives by resisting bending and fatigue. With a 4.5‑tonne towing capacity and a 450 kg maximum A‑frame load, this tongue gives caravans, camper trailers, and hybrids the durability they need in tough Australian conditions.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Forging compresses the steel structure, creating a denser and stronger component. As a result, the tongue withstands heavy loads and punishing terrain. The black gloss powdercoat finish adds corrosion resistance and a premium look, ensuring long-term performance and clean aesthetics.
Compatibility
- 1-1/4″ hole suits McHitch 6T tapered pins and heavy-duty automatic receivers
- Fits Hayman Reese‑style 2″ square receivers
- Installation is quick: slide it in, secure with a hitch pin, and you’re ready to tow
Performance Benefits
The 4 inch drop tow tongue improves towing geometry by lowering the coupling point. This adjustment helps maintain level towing, which enhances stability, braking, and tyre wear. It prevents nose‑up trailer setups and uneven drawbar angles. Whether you’re on highways or corrugated bush tracks, the result is smoother handling and safer towing.
Why Choose Forged?
Forged steel offers superior density and strength compared to pressed alternatives. Therefore, it resists bending and fatigue under extreme loads. Tourers who demand reliability and long service life choose forged components because they deliver confidence in every kilometre. This tongue is not only stronger but also smarter, providing peace of mind for serious off-road towing
