Tow Vehicle and Hitch Setup for Dump Trailer Rentals
Most full-size pickup trucks handle dump trailer rentals within the standard residential and light contractor weight range without issue. Two things are worth confirming before the rental date: the truck's rated towing capacity and the hitch ball size. Dump trailers are heavier than utility trailers when loaded, so the tow vehicle needs to be rated for the combined weight of the trailer and the material.
The hitch ball size is easy to overlook. Most dump trailers require a 2-5/16 inch ball, which is slightly larger than the standard 2-inch ball common on many trucks and passenger vehicle hitches. Confirming the correct hitch setup before arriving at Big Rentals in El Paso keeps the rental on schedule without delays at pickup.
