Turning Reese hitch

Awesome thanks mate.

We had a work Hilux like this. Inverting the hitch and moving the ball halved the max trailer weight according to the data plate on the hitch (or my vague recollection of it)

Had a look on the Hayman Reece site and can not find mention relating to turning the receiver one way or the other. If they must be one way surely there would be something stamped into the steel so there is no confusion.
Can you post a link where you got your information please.
The reason I would like clarification as I run them up and down as we have 2 trailers and 2 vehicles that regularly tow both of them and set them up to get the trailer level each time.
One of the trailers is quite heavy with a Treg but if it is being done wrong I would like to know.
Thanks in advance.

I needed to flip a HR tongue over some time ago in order to fit a Treg.

The official word I got when I called them and spoke to one of their techs was "it is designed to be used either way, providing you don't exceed the weight limit".

I'm comfortable with that, and am now using the same tongue inverted for a different reason - to level the drawbar height with our offroad CT.

Shorty, it's a good question.
I have never thought about it just turned them to suit my needs.
Really can not see an issue with them one way or the other but I am not an engineer and if there is a definitive answer it would be great then I will use the things correctly.
Post up what you find.

Will post what info I get mate

I've done this and towed some big vans with the cruiser with no issues I don't see a problem, go see a tow bar fitter/engineer if your worried!

I'm going to keep doing what I always have.
The bloke that said it is not recommended has not backed it up, had a look at quite a few web sites and not one mention using them up or down. They are so solid I can not see it ever being a problem.
