What to Look Out for When Buying Ford Bronco Trailer Balls?
Trailer Ball Size and Weight Capacity
Ford Bronco trailer balls come in various sizes, typically measured by the diameter of the ball itself.
Most popular sizes include 1-7/8 inches, 2 inches, and 2-5/16 inches, so be sure to double-check what your trailer coupler size is.
Matching these two is essential as any differences between them are going to lead to a non-secure fit, rattling, or even accidents.
The weight rating of a trailer ball refers to the maximum weight it can safely support. It's crucial to consider both the tongue weight and the gross trailer weight (GTW) when selecting a trailer ball.
Typically, trailer balls are available with weight ratings ranging from 2,000 pounds to 30,000 pounds or more.
Be sure to consult the owner’s manual of both your Ford Bronco and your trailer before buying.
Shank Rise and Size
The trailer isn’t the only thing you need to match your trailer ball to as your receiver also needs to properly align with the ball. To do so, you will have to pay attention to shank rise and size.
The shank size refers to the diameter and length of the part that inserts into the hitch receiver. It's crucial to check that the shank size matches the receiver size of your Bronco. Common shank sizes include 3/4-inch, 1-inch, or 1-1/4 inches.
Furthermore, the rise of the trailer ball refers to the height adjustment it offers as it determines how level your trailer will be when attached to the vehicle.
The rise should be selected based on your specific towing setup to ensure proper alignment and weight distribution with your Ford Bronco.
Build Materials and Safety Features
When it comes to the build materials you should be looking at, stainless steel is likely going to be your best option.
If you prefer a shiny look, you can also consider chrome-plated stainless steel, but be sure that the material you go for is able to endure the stresses associated with towing.
Safety should always be a top priority when towing which is why you need to look for trailer balls that incorporate safety features such as integrated locking mechanisms or provisions for hitch locks.
These features help secure the trailer ball to the hitch receiver, minimizing the risk of accidental detachment during towing.
Lastly, some trailer balls may have features like rounded edges or a smooth finish to prevent damage to the coupler and ensure a secure connection.
