Attach Trailer Hitch to Tow Vehicle

What happens here

Begin by inserting the "Rigid" brand hitch receiver into the tow vehicle's hitch receiver. Align the holes of both components, then slide a heavy-duty hitch pin through them. Secure the hitch pin with a safety pin (cotter pin) to prevent accidental removal. It is crucial to be aware that the hitch pin is often the weakest point in the entire hitch system, so ensure its rating matches or exceeds your towing needs.

Goal: Securely prepare the tow vehicle for trailer attachment.
