the frame mounted hitch.

receiver hitch.

A lot of incidents and accidents do happen from not
paying attention when hitching up. Things can get hectic
the day you are heading out, so I suggest that you check
everything the day before. You will be less anxious and
have plenty of time to fix or change things if needed.
