Car/Truck to pull glider trailer

Sorry for jumping in late to this thread ... is a class II hitch sufficient (assuming glider/trailer less than 2,000 lbs? Appreciate any advice. Jim https://www.autoanything.com/towing/...tch-class.aspx Many of our club members use Class I. According to this, a Class II is comfortably ok: https://www.drawtite-hitches.com/lea...towing-classes I would not recommend a Class I, even if it technically met the specs (less than 2000 lb and less than 200 lb tongue weight). The reason is the length of the trailer - winds can increase the load seen by the hitch quite substantially. Tom
