We have both frame-mount and bumper-mount hitches for trailers and I have added a link to our available inventory. None have a 600-lb plus tongue weight capacity and one of the largest capacities we have available is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch, Item # C13701, which has a 500-lb tongue weight capacity. When used with a weight distribution system, it has a 600-lb tongue weight capacity. This hitch fits 18 inch to 51 inch frames.

Before purchasing a hitch, I suggest contacting your trailer manufacturer to confirm the towing capacity of your trailer and to see if they have specific instructions or a particular hitch they recommend for safe towing.

If you are trying to tow a trailer with a trailer then find out from the manufacturer if this is possible and check with states you plan to visit to make sure it is legal.
