To determine the class of your hitch, you can check the manufacturer's label or sticker on the hitch itself, which typically indicates the class rating. Additionally, you can measure the receiver's opening; Class I hitches have a 1.25-inch opening, while Class II has a 1.25-inch opening as well but with a higher weight capacity. Class III and IV hitches have a 2-inch opening, with Class III rated for up to 6,000 pounds and Class IV for up to 10,000 pounds or more. If no labels are present, consulting your vehicle's manual or the hitch installation guide may provide further clarification.
