Tow Vehicle and Hitch Setup for Dump Trailer Rentals

Most full-size pickup trucks handle dump trailer rentals within the standard residential and contractor weight range without issue. Two things are worth confirming before the rental date. First, the truck's towing capacity needs to cover the combined weight of the trailer and the loaded material. Second, dump trailers commonly require a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball, which is slightly larger than the standard 2-inch ball that comes on many trucks.

The hitch ball size is easy to overlook and just as easy to verify in advance. Arriving at Big Rentals in Lubbock with the right truck and hitch setup means the trailer is ready to go without any delays at pickup.
