What type trailer hitch can use to tow a u-haul trailer 6x12 for a Chevy El Camino 4x4?

Measure across the rear frame rails and with that measurement go to a home/auto center and look at the receiver hitches. A receiver hitch mounts to the frame and is very strong.They are not listed for your truck but you can adapt one to fit. Keep in mind any obstacles under your vehicle (spare tire?); you may need to add spacers etc. Once a receiver hitch is in place ( four bolts) you can add a drop/raise tonque to achieve the exact height you need to tow your trailer level. Good luck.

How do you determine trailer hitch height?

First, set the trailer you're towing on level ground...if you have a jack stand w/wheel combination that'd be great! Level the trailer by either using a small level on a central part of the trailer and make adjustments to the level by winding your jack up/down. (It ain't rocket science, so you could eyeball it by standing a good distance from the side.) Measure the distance from the ground to the top of the "ball mount" on the trailer. The Highlander, is essentially a Camry with a SUV body, so your weight/towing limits are modest, compared to a truck for instance. So, what I'm getting at, is the chances are your trailer is under 150# hitch weight...The Highlander shouldn't "squat" too badly when you put the trailer on. Determine where your hitch is located...(I doubt Highlanders have bumper-mounting capabilities, so I'll take a guess and say you have a Class I - perhaps Class II). Measure the distance from the top of the inside of the "receiver" section (where the hitch goes) to the ground. Subtract trailer height from your Highlander measure. That should give you a ballpark measure of between 2-5". Determine your ball size (it's stamped on the tongue of the trailer). Next, GO SHOPPING! I recommend "Wally World", they're more apt to give you money back on mistakes! Buy the measured "drop", if any. Obtain a locking pin or hitch pin and cotter key that fits the hole in the receiver shaft and grab the right size ball as well...Make sure your receiver size is correct! (You'll need a LARGE crescent wrench to mount the ball.) Place the hitch into the receiver and mount the ball and make sure the washers are put on the bolt out of the bottom of the ball in the same order as packaged. Using the receiver as your vise tighten the nut below the ball, hand tight...There's absolutely NO NEED TO BREAK THE WRENCH TIGHTENING THE NUT. If you have any more questions write again. P.S. practice mounting/dismounting the trailer and it's operation in a large open parking lot...If you have someone to help spot the hitch as you back up to the trailer it helps alot. On the tow vehicle, 18" to 20" from the ground to the top of the ball usually puts you in the ball park.

Longest car trailer allowed to tow with class a RV?

That will depend on the length laws of your state (and any other state you're traveling to). What's just as pertinent is the weight rating - if the addition of the trailer brings the total combined weight rating of the combination over 26,000 lbs, you will need to upgrade your licence to a non-CDL Class B (if the weight rating of the trailer is under 10,000 lbs.) or Class A (if the weight rating of the trailer is over 10,000 lbs.).
