• Locating Correct Ball Mount to Connect with Trailer on Mazda CX-5 with Low Ground Clearance
  I do have a solution for you, however there is definitely not enough ground clearance at the hitch connection between your Mazda CX-5 and 6x12 utility trailer. Any slight incline or bump in the road is going to cause issues with your current setup. To add clearance while also ensuring that the trailer itself is level when connected (it's a little hard to tell in the picture but it does appear that the tongue/trailer is nose low), you will need a ball mount with a larger rise such as...

• Selecting The Correct Trailer Hitch Ball Mount For a 2020 Honda CR-V
  Honda list the ground clearance of the 2020 Honda CR-V all wheel drive trims at 8.2" and the front wheel drive trims at 7.8". It is really hard to recommend a ball mount rise height without knowing the coupler height for the trailer. It is important to remember when calculating rise or drop this is done based on the measurement to the inside top of the receiver. This should be around 13-1/2" based for an AWD CR-V with the Draw-Tite Receiver # 76128 we installed it on in our shop. I like...

• Will Installed Trailer Hitch Block Hands-Free Liftgate Feature on 2019 Ford Edge
  Actually, all of the hitches available for the 2019 Ford Edge, regardless of trim level will have the sensors for the Hands-Free liftgate feature blocked at the middle of the bumper. This is because the receiver tube extends below the bumper and would sit between where you'd sweep your foot and the liftgate sensor. The system uses 3 or 4 sensors (depends on the vehicle) and the sensors will still pick up movement but you'll need to sweep your foot to the left or right of the center of the...

• How to Choose a Ball Mount to Correct for Different Hitch and Trailer Heights
  When the trailer hitch on the vehicle and the coupler on the trailer have different heights you can use a ball mount with the required amount of rise or drop to allow the hitched trailer to remain level. It is important to keep the trailer's frame level when towing for better handling. Since your trailer's coupler is about 4-1/2-inches taller than your hitch receiver you will want to select a ball mount that has about 4-inches of RISE, to bring the hitch ball up to the height of the trailer...

• Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13381 Height When Installed On a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan
  When we installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13381 on a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan in our shop the top inside of the receiver tube sat at 11-1/2" tall. Using a Curt Multi-Ball Mount # C62KR that does not have a rise or drop would put your coupler height at 12" to the bottom of the coupler. Without knowing the height of your 14 foot john boat trailer when it sits level I cannot tell you if you will need a rise style ball mount like the Curt Ball Mount # C45070. If you can tell me...

• Trailer Hitch and Ball Mount Recommendation for 2022 Hyunda Tucson to Tow Tag XL Trailer
  For a hitch for your 2022 Hyundai Tucson PHEV we have the Curt # C94WR which would work really well as it's mostly hidden and has great towing capacities, but for picking out a ball mount that's the correct rise/drop the key is going with a ball mount that will allow the trailer to tow as level as possible. I did some research on the Tag XL trailer and it's coupler height is going to be right around 18-1/2 to 19 inches when measured from bottom lip of it down to the ground. When we installed...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Liftgate Interference on 2017 Ford Edge Sport
  The Curt Class III receiver hitch, part # C13234 will indeed fit your 2017 Ford Edge Sport. The hands-free liftgate sensor under the middle of the bumper will be obstructed by the hitch, but in the areas to either side of the receiver tube the sensors will indeed still work. Actually, the Draw-Tite # 75234 could be a better choice. The hitch crossbar is concealed behind the bumper, with will interfere with the sensors to a lesser degree. Many folks don't care for the look of the crossbar,...

• What is Difference Between Ball Mount with Vertical or Angled Ball Mount Platform
  Hey Greg, so the Curt ball mount part # C45070 does have 6 inches of drop but the ball mount platform like you noticed does angle down instead of go vertical like what you have now. One style isn't necessarily better than the other but the angled style does add some length to the ball mount setup which could be helpful for if you were having turn clearance issues. Some couplers are pretty tall on the front (like old Atwood Actuators) so having the angled ball mount would allow for a bit...

  The hitch we offer that would work best for towing your 2019 Chevy Malibu on a tow dolly like the Roadmaster part # RM-2050-1 that you referenced is the etrailer.com hitch part # e98854 as it has the best towing capacities at 4,000 lbs, has great ground clearance and since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper it looks the best as well.

• Will Installing Trailer Hitch on 2019 Ford Edge Titanium Stop Hands-Free Liftgate From Working
  Once installed, the Draw-Tite Class III # 75234 receiver hitch will slightly limit the areas under the bumper where the hands-free liftgate sensors can 'read' your foot passing under the bumper. The square receiver tube will block access in the middle of the under-bumper area, but the sensors will read just fine off to either side. The hitch will work great on your vehicle, and be pretty inconspicuous as well. Most of the hitch is hidden behind the rear bumper fascia, so the only visible...

• Differences Between Available Class III Hitch Options for 2020 Honda Odyssey
  Both hitches would share the same 525 lb tongue weight/3500 lb towing GTW towing capacity, but the similarities would end there. The Curt # C64NR is a concealed design, meaning that the majority of the hitch would be concealed behind the Odyssey's bumper when the hitch is installed with just the receiver and safety chain loops being visible. Because of the concealed design, the bumper cover would need removal to install the hitch and would be reinstalled afterward. The Curt # C13370 is...

• How to Pick Out Rise Ball Mount for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder Hitch
  I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground. Next, you will need to compute the difference. If the hitch height is...
