What is the Difference Between The 2-1/2 Inch Pintle and a 3 Inch Pintle
Question:
what besides the actual size is the difference between a 2-1/2inch pintle and a 3inch pintle . are there different hitches that only hook up to a 2-1/2inch as compared to a 3inch

Expert Reply:
Pintle hitches are made to fit certain sized Lunette rings. The rings that we carry are only available in 2-1/2" or 3" diameter sizes. For example, the Curt Pintle Hook for 2" Hitches # C48004 fits lunette ring couplers with a minimum inner diameter of 2-1/2". If you already have a lunette ring measure the inner diameter and make sure the Pintle hitch you choose will fit the ring. As long as it fits and is rated high enough for your trailer's weight it'll work for you.
