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.
