Interchangeable fixed or damped towing system

摘要

An A-frame trailer front end construction configured to alternately accept a non-dampered connector for co-action with the towing vehicle or a damped connector without structural modification of the A-frame. Switch over between the damped and non-damped towing modes can be accomplished very quickly by the loosening and unloosening of mounting bolts between the connector and A-frame. The system enables the human operator to select the type of connection most conducive to human driver comfort, minimum inertial loading between the towed and towing vehicle, and lessened load forces on the vehicle brakes and suspension.
