Detachable Trailer Hitch for Ford

Detachable Hitch with or without Tools: What’s the Difference?

Ford detachable tow hitches are divided into two categories: with tools and without tools. The key difference between these two types lies in the ease of installation and removal.

A detachable hitch with tools requires, as the name suggests, specific tools to attach or remove the tow ball. This can be tedious and discouraging for those who prefer a more straightforward solution.

On the other hand, the RDSO hitch for Ford, often more expensive, offers a significant advantage: the tow ball can be installed or removed with just a few simple gestures, without the need for any specific tools. Not only does this RDSO Ford hitch save you from rummaging through your toolbox for the right wrench, but it also helps maintain the aesthetic of your vehicle when the tow ball is not in use. A simple handle on the side of the RDSO tow ball allows you to quickly and easily remove or attach it.

There are two types of tool-free detachable hitches for Ford: RDSOH (Horizontally Detachable Tow Ball without Tools) and RDSOV (Vertically Detachable Tow Ball without Tools). These two Ford RDSO systems differ in how the tow ball is attached, offering options tailored to different types of vehicles and loads.

What Can You Transport with a Detachable Ford Tow Hitch?

• Towbar Cargo Box: Ideal for increasing your loading capacity without sacrificing your vehicle’s interior space.
• Bike Rack on Tow Hitch: Easily transport your bikes for outdoor adventures or competitions.
• Caravan: Embark on adventures with all the comforts of a mobile home.
