Towing around Charlottetown
Island towing is short-distance towing — boats to the harbour, campers to the north shore — but leaving PEI means the Confederation Bridge, where the toll is charged by axle count and collected when you leave the Island. A trailer's axles count, so budget for them on the way off.
PEI is unusually specific about the secondary connection: a drawbar or ball-hitch tow needs two safety chains of equal length, each strong enough to hold the vehicles together if the hitch lets go.
Prince Edward Island towing rules to know
- A trailer or semi-trailer of 1,500 kg gross weight or more must have brakes adequate to stop and hold it.
- The brakes must be built so they apply automatically if the trailer accidentally breaks away.
- When towing with a drawbar or ball hitch, the vehicles must be joined by at least two safety chains of equal length, each strong enough to hold them together if the hitch lets go.
- A trailer under 1,500 kg gross weight does not need brakes of its own.

Find parts that fit your vehicle
Add your vehicle with the selector at the top of any page and the whole store narrows to parts listed for it — hitches, wiring harnesses and brackets included. You can also search by part number if you already know what you are replacing. Always check a hitch's weight rating against your trailer's loaded weight and your vehicle's towing capacity, whichever is lower.
Shipping to Charlottetown
We are an online store, so there is no showroom in Charlottetown — every order ships to your door. Standard shipping is a flat $25 on orders under $200 and free on orders of $200 or more, the same rate everywhere in Canada. There is nothing extra to work out at checkout: the rate is the same whether you are in Charlottetown or anywhere else in the country.
Orders ship from within Canada and are priced in Canadian dollars, so there is no duty, no brokerage fee and no exchange-rate surprise when the parcel arrives — the three charges that catch people out when towing parts come across the border from a US site.
Why buy direct from Canada Hitch Rack
- Free shipping once the order reaches $200. Most towing jobs need more than one part — a hitch, a wiring harness, a ball mount, a lock. Ordering them together in a single $200 order means you pay nothing for freight instead of $25 a time, so buying direct in one go is the cheaper way to do it.
- Canadian store, Canadian dollars. Orders ship domestically, so the price on the page is what you pay — no customs charges added on delivery.
- The range of a warehouse, not a shelf. More than 28,200 parts across hundreds of categories, including the sizes and ratings a general store usually has to order in.
- Parts listed by vehicle. Pick your year, make and model once and the catalogue filters to what is listed for it, which is the difference between a hitch that bolts to existing points and one that does not.
- A person to ask. Call 1 (888) 926-0442 or email info@canadahitchrack.com before you order if you are unsure — it is a lot easier than returning a hitch that was never going to fit.
