Description

The McHitch forged tow tongue 4 inch drop with a 7/8″ hole is built for heavy-duty towing. Forged from chromoly steel, it delivers superior strength compared to pressed steel alternatives. With a 4.5‑tonne towing capacity and a 450 kg maximum A‑frame load, this tongue ensures caravans, camper trailers, and hybrids tow safely and reliably in demanding Australian conditions.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Forging compresses the steel structure, creating a denser and stronger component. As a result, the tongue resists bending and fatigue under extreme loads. The black gloss powdercoat finish adds corrosion resistance and a premium look, ensuring long-term durability and clean aesthetics.

Compatibility

  • 7/8″ hole suits McHitch 3.5T tapered pins and 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 McHitch Forged?

McHitch forged steel components offer superior density and strength compared to pressed alternatives. Therefore, they resist bending and fatigue under heavy loads. Tourers who demand reliability and long service life choose McHitch forged gear because it delivers confidence in every kilometre. This tongue is not only stronger but also smarter, providing peace of mind for serious off-road towing
