Hitch installs: common questions

Where can I get a trailer hitch installed near Jacksonville, IL?

Flatlander Trailer Sales installs trailer hitches at our shop at 117 Mill St in Franklin, IL, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. We match the ball mount and ball to your trailer and check that your trailer plug and truck plug match, so the setup works the first time you hook up.

Who installs gooseneck hitches near Franklin, IL?

Flatlander Trailer Sales handles gooseneck setups at our Franklin service shop. To pull a gooseneck you need a pickup rated for the trailer's weight with a gooseneck ball mounted in the bed, and we help match that setup to your truck and the trailer you plan to pull.

Call or text (217) 673-0773 to talk through the right gooseneck setup for your truck.

Can Flatlander Trailer Sales set up my truck when I buy a trailer?

Yes, Flatlander Trailer Sales can set up your truck when you buy a trailer from us. Ask about the hitch at the same time and we will make sure your truck and trailer match, from the ball size and coupler to the plugs. It also helps if a trailer sits nose-up or nose-down behind your truck.

Mention it when you buy, or call or text (217) 673-0773.
