They Just told me to bring a TRAILER!

What happens here

The video begins by showing a person removing a standard hitch ball from the receiver of a Dodge 4x4 truck. The person then inserts a specialized pintle hook hitch into the receiver and secures it with a pin and cotter pin. This setup is chosen for its compatibility with the Kaufman tilt-deck trailer.

Goal: The first step involves preparing the tow vehicle (a Dodge truck) by replacing a standard hitch ball with a pintle hook hitch to accommodate the utility trailer.
