It can likewise take the form of a tow-ball to be able to allow the same movements of a trailer. The towing pintle is one more category of hitches that is used on military vehicles globally.

The ball mount allows the ball to be mounted to it while receiver hitches have removable ball mounts. The fixed drawbar hitch is one more kind of hitch. These kinds have incorporated ball-mounts. It is essential for the ball-mount to match the SAE hitch class. The ball-mount utilized in a receiver type of hitch is a rectangular bar which fits into a receiver that is connected to the motor vehicle. There are removable ball-mounts accessible that are designed with a varying rise or drop so as to accommodate various heights of trailers and vehicles to allow for level towing.

In places outside North America, the motor vehicle mounting for the tow-ball is known as the tow-bracket. The mounting points for all modern passenger vehicles are defined by the tow-bracket manufacturer and the motor vehicle maker.

There are various pickup trucks which come equipped with 1 to 3 mounting holes placed in the middle area of the rear bumper. This design was applied so as to accommodate the mounting of trailer tow-balls.
