Platinum Member V Posted October 16, 2018 Platinum Member Share Posted October 16, 2018 If it has a rotating pintle it will be suitable for towing suitably equipped trailers offroad. If it has a fixed pintle then the lunette (loop) on the trailer needs to rotate instead. Not all trailers have rotating lunettes. If you end up with a fixed pintle and a fixed lunette the articulation of the trailer in relation to the tow vehicle is limited by the free play in the coupling.

Platinum Member sabconsulting Posted November 10, 2018 Platinum Member Share Posted November 10, 2018 Maybe because mine were older I found they needed regular lubrication to keep them rotation and opening / closing smoothly. Looked the right piece of kit on some of my previous 4x4s, but these days I have a combined tow ball and pin on the 4x4 camper, and a 2" receiver hitch which accepts a milled steel insert to take a 3/4" shackle.
