Trailer and Towing Accessories

Being able to tow a trailer and haul a load is a benefit of many trucks and SUVs. The ability to move loads of cargo can help make almost any job easier. Having the right towing parts and accessories can help make towing a load to your destination easier and safer. If you are missing a trailer or towing accessory, or if you're setting your vehicle up for towing for the first time, shop O'Reilly Auto Parts to get what you need to get the load on the road.

Trailer Hitches and Hitch Accessories

The trailer hitch, or receiver hitch, is at the core of every towing system because it allows a trailer to securely connect to your vehicle. Ball mounts and pintle hooks are the most common connection designs used with a trailer hitch, and having the right ball on the mount can help prevent clunking from the trailer being too loose or bouncing on the ball. You may also need a sway control kit if your trailer has issues with swaying, even while towing small loads. Receiver adapters and tubes also help make sure you have the right size mount to connect to the trailer. You will also need to make sure to have the right trailer hitch pin in place to secure the receiver to the hitch. Some hitch pins come with a way to lock them in place, but others may use a clip to prevent the pin from sliding out. No matter what you are hauling, if you are using a trailer hitch to tow a load, always make sure your hitch and accessories have the proper weight rating for the load you are trying to pull.

Cargo Management

Securing the cargo you are towing should always be a top priority when hauling a load. Without the proper cargo management, loads can shift or fall from your vehicle or trailer, which can cause an accident or damage to your cargo or other vehicles. Accessories such as tie-down straps, load binders, cargo nets, and bungee cords can help you secure loads in truck beds, trailers, or on roof racks. Tarps, cargo boxes, and cargo carriers can help protect your load from weather and damage. Keep your cargo safe and secure with the best cargo management accessories from O'Reilly Auto Parts.

Trailer Lighting and Towing Light Kits

Having the right lighting is essential when hauling a trailer or towing another vehicle. In many states you can receive a citation if you do not have the proper lighting while hauling a load. Over time, trailer lighting and wiring can be damaged or become oxidized due to exposure to the elements and moisture. If this is the case, you may need to completely rewire the trailer and replace the lighting to ensure it is working order. You can find replacement trailer wiring and trailer lighting at O'Reilly Auto Parts, as well as lighting kits for towing vehicles without using a trailer.
