Default Hugh Hitch Ball

I saw this last Sunday south of Birmingham on I-59. Its a 6" ball.

Found them on internet at $250 for a steel one and $60 for a plactic one.

Funny. What would a 1/2 ton dodge pull? I think I see it squatting under the weight of the ball. Who would have thought to put coils on the rear end of a truck.

Giant Ball Hitch $250.00


Cheaper model on Amazon


Cheaper yet on ebay but shipping is high


Google "Valley 53300" and you will find many places to buy them.
