What does THI mean in UNCLASSIFIED

A tow hitch insert is a device that fits into the receiver of a tow hitch and provides a secure connection point for towing. It typically has a threaded hole or a ball mount for attaching a trailer or other towed item.

You might need a tow hitch insert if your tow hitch receiver is not the correct size or type for the item you want to tow. For example, if you have a 2-inch receiver but want to tow a trailer with a 1-1/4-inch ball, you would need an insert to reduce the receiver size.

There are several different types of tow hitch inserts, including:

• Ball mounts: These inserts have a ball mount for attaching a trailer ball. They are available in different ball sizes and weight capacities.
• Clevis mounts: These inserts have a clevis for attaching a clevis hook. They are typically used for towing heavier loads.
• D-ring mounts: These inserts have a D-ring for attaching a D-ring shackle. They are often used for towing off-road vehicles.

When choosing a tow hitch insert, you need to consider the following factors:

• The size of your tow hitch receiver: The insert must fit snugly into your receiver.
• The type of item you are towing: Some inserts are designed for specific types of towed items, such as trailers, bike racks, or cargo carriers.
• The weight capacity of the insert: The insert must be able to handle the weight of the towed item.

To install a tow hitch insert, simply insert it into the receiver and tighten the bolt or pin. Make sure the insert is securely fastened before towing anything.
