Hitches can take many forms. They could be in the form of a tow pin and jaw along with a trailer loop. This particular design is often utilized for agricultural applications with big vehicles where slack in the pivot pin allows swiveling and articulation. It can also take the form of a tow-ball so as to enable the same movements of a trailer. The towing pintle is one more category of hitches which is utilized on military vehicles worldwide.
The ball mount allows the ball to be mounted to it while receiver hitches have ball mounts that are removable. The fixed drawbar hitch is another type of hitch. These versions have incorporated ball-mounts. It is essential for the ball-mount to match the SAE hitch class.

Several pickup trucks have equipped on the rear bumper 1 to 3 mounting holes placed in the middle area. The implementation of these was to help accommodate tow-balls. The ones on the extreme right or left are typically used by drivers in rural settings who tow wide farm machines on two lane roads.
