Ford Five Hundred trailer hitches of the weight carrying type are ones that are unbalanced due to the uneven spread of the load and hence the onus is on the user to counterbalance the weight with the weight of the towing vehicle. In sharp contrast are weight-distributing hitches, which divide the weight evenly amongst the four wheels of the main vehicle.

Last but not least is the rear mount hitch, which tags along behind the vehicle and needs to be checked upon from time to time when in use. Knowing the difference as also the pros and cons of each would help in identifying the model that is best suited for your individual hauling needs.
