The pintle hitch is a dual purpose hitch. It can tow trailers with either a lunnette eye or a standard coupler. The pintle upper jaw closes onto the top of the ball to allow for towing trailers with lunnette eye. The upper jaw locks into up or open position for standard coupler towing.

The pintle hitch is located at the rear of the vehicle, and is removable.

Caution: Do not use the pintle hitch if it is worn, damaged or missing parts. An improperly working hitch would cause the trailer to disengage from the vehicle and cause you can lose control of the trailer. You and others could be seriously injured. Inspect the hitch before using to ensure it is in proper working condition.
