Towing Components

A safe, controlled tow comes down to the components between your truck and your trailer — the brake controller that talks to your trailer brakes, the ball mount that takes the tongue load, and the wiring harness that keeps your lighting legal. Our towing components fit every receiver class on Ford F-150, Super Duty F-250 and F-350, Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500 and 3500, Chevy Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD, GMC Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, and Nissan Titan. Whether you're pulling a 5,000-lb utility trailer or a 14,000-lb fifth wheel, every brake controller, ball mount, and harness on this page is sized to your real-world tow.

Brake Controllers, Ball Mounts and Wiring Hardware

We carry Tekonsha trailer brake controllers including the popular Tekonsha P3 and Prodigy series, B&W Tow and Stow adjustable ball mounts in 2-inch and 2.5-inch shanks with dual ball options, Continuum weight distribution hitches, CURT weight distribution systems, dual ball mounts, fixed drop ball mounts, pintle hitches, lunette rings, and 4-flat and 7-pin trailer wiring harnesses for trucks, SUVs, and crossovers like the Toyota RAV4. Our pintle hitches, gooseneck hitch balls, and adapter combos cover commercial and heavy-haul applications, while the Tow and Stow line gives daily-driver flexibility across multiple trailer heights.

For complete trailer hitches, 5th wheel hitches, and gooseneck setups, browse the Hitches collection. Pair your ball mount with hitch locks, receiver adapters, and anti-rattle devices from Hitch Accessories, or set up a flat tow rig with bars and baseplates from Tow Bars. For towing mirrors, sway bars, and air suspension upgrades, see Enhancement, and for trailer bearings, brakes, lights, and jacks, check Trailer Products. Explore the full Towing category for everything you need to tow safely in Canada.

Need to upgrade your truck before you load up? Add a leveling or lift kit from Suspension to handle tongue weight, protect your paint with mud flaps and fender flares from Exterior, or boost towing power with an exhaust system or tuner from Performance. Wire your brake controller cleanly with components from Electronics for a fully tow-ready setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need a trailer brake controller for towing in Canada?

Most Canadian provinces require a trailer brake controller on any towed trailer with electric brakes — typically required for trailers over 1,400 kg (about 3,000 lbs) gross weight, though provincial regulations vary. Even when not legally required, a brake controller dramatically reduces stopping distance, prevents trailer sway under heavy braking, and protects your truck's brakes from premature wear. Proportional controllers like the Tekonsha P3 deliver smoother, more responsive braking than time-based units and are the preferred choice for daily towers.

What is the difference between a weight distribution hitch and a regular ball mount?

A regular ball mount transfers all the tongue weight of your trailer directly onto your truck's rear axle, which can cause the rear to sag, the front to lift, and steering and braking to feel light. A weight distribution hitch uses spring bars between the trailer frame and the hitch head to redistribute that tongue weight across both the trailer axles and the truck's front axle. The result is a level tow, restored steering control, and improved braking — essential on bumper-pull trailers over 5,000 lbs or any trailer where your truck squats noticeably when hitched.

Is an adjustable ball mount better than a fixed drop ball mount?

An adjustable ball mount lets you change the drop and rise of the hitch ball to match different trailers without buying multiple ball mounts. The B&W Tow and Stow line goes a step further with two ball sizes built into a single unit, so a 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch ball flip down on demand. Fixed drop ball mounts are simpler and cheaper, ideal if you only ever tow one trailer at one height. For owners with multiple trailers — boat, utility, dump, camper — an adjustable ball mount pays for itself fast.

What is the difference between a 4-pin and 7-pin trailer wiring connector?

A 4-pin (4-flat) connector handles the basic trailer lighting circuits — taillights, brake lights, left and right turn signals, and ground. A 7-pin connector adds three more circuits: trailer brakes, reverse lights, and 12V auxiliary power for trailer batteries, interior lights, or refrigerators. Small utility trailers and tent trailers usually use 4-pin connectors, while travel trailers, fifth wheels, horse trailers, and any trailer with electric brakes require a 7-pin connector. Adapters between the two are available, but for trailers with brakes a true 7-pin install is the right answer.

What sizes does the B&W Tow and Stow ball mount come in?

The B&W Tow and Stow adjustable ball mount comes in 2-inch and 2.5-inch shank sizes, multiple drop and rise ranges from 4-inch to 14-inch, and several gross trailer weight ratings from 7,500 lbs up to 20,000 lbs. Most units include both a 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch hitch ball that flip into position on demand, and triple-ball versions add a 1-7/8-inch ball for smaller trailers. Match your shank size to your truck's receiver opening, then choose drop and rise based on your trailer's coupler height.

Can you install a trailer brake controller yourself or do you need a mechanic?

Most modern Tekonsha and CURT brake controllers can be installed at home in under an hour using a vehicle-specific plug-and-play harness — no wire splicing, no cutting, no relays. Many newer Ford, Ram, GMC, and Chevy trucks have a factory tow package connector under the dash that the harness plugs directly into. If your truck doesn't have a factory connector, a wired install requires connecting four wires (12V power, ground, brake signal, and trailer brake output) — straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic 12V wiring.
