FAQ

The Oz Glide Hitch is a premium towing hitch system engineered for caravans, trailers, horse floats, and off-road vehicles. Designed to reduce towing shock and improve ride quality, it delivers greater stability, safety, and comfort whether you’re towing on highways or rugged tracks.

Unlike standard hitches, the Oz Glide features a pivoting airbag damping system that absorbs vertical movement between the tow vehicle and trailer. This reduces porpoising, bump shock, and improves steering control, making for a much smoother and safer towing experience.
