I needed an extra long ball mount to keep the tail gate on our Jeep from hitting the trailer when it is open. Couldn't find it locally so I checked with etrailer. Great product, at a good price. Thanks.8862

These people are amazing! I've made a number of orders as I renovate my pop-up, the parts have all come quickly, (as soon as ONE day!), and are exactly what etrailer says they will be. Plus their online videos and instructions have made daunting tasks into simple tasks. I am thrifty to a fault, and each time I needed something, I ended up at etrailer.57515

I found etrailers while searching for a very specific size of hitch, and they had just what I needed. The price was great, and they delivered the items much sooner than I expected. The quality of the parts is excellent. Good job, etrailers. Thanks!49388

As a soldier I had not time to place the package on my vehicle as of yet But what I can say Is that my package came early and with all the components to it and it was the cheapest at the time for all that I ordered your prices are the best I have seen in months keep them low and you will have more come to buy from you. You have my recommendation SGT NELSON US ARMY ACTIVE P>S> I will send pics later 35670

I have not used the product yet but a test fitting seems to be fine. Customer service was excellent. The order was processed very very quickly (approx 1.5 hours) and the upgrade in the shipping was very much appreciated. It allowed me to be able to plan on doing some towing this weekend. I am more than satisfied and I have told a few of my friends already about the excellent service. Thank you.. 18340

  • Ball Mount Recommendations for Use With a Folding 3 Bike Towing Rack # S64955
  • I went out into our warehouse and measured a Ball Mount 2-3/4 inch Rise or 4 inch Drop, part # 80228, and found that the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest portion of the lower reinforcing triangle is 5-1/16 inches. Check out the picture to the right to see this measurement in action. For use with the Folding 3 Bike Towing Rack, part # S64955, that you referenced we usually recommend the following ball mounts: Ball Mount 3/4 inch Rise or 2 inch Drop, part # 27

  • Long Ball Mount Recommendation for a Ford F-150 and Trailer with a Fixed Tongue Jack
  • A longer ball mount can produce more torque on the hitch, but if you have a Class III or higher hitch with a 2 inch receiver, it should not pose a problem at all. Our 2 longest ball mounts are both from Hidden Hitch. First, we have # 80232. It is 16 inches long from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. It has a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop. It is rated for 600 pounds tongue weight and 6,000 pounds gross trailer weight. Next we have # 80233. This ball mount has the

  • Drawbar, Hitch Lock and Hitch Ball Recommendation for a 2001 Toyota 4Runner
  • The Ball Mount # 80228, Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 7683, and the Greaseless HardBall Hitch Ball # AM3662 would all work together very well. I attached a review video for the # 7683 for you to check out also. I would recommend you check the towing capacities of your 2001 Toyota 4Runner to make sure that you would not be exceeding the recommended towing capacity for your vehicle.

  • Is the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount # 80228 Black Powder Coated
  • The Hidden Hitch ball mount, # 80228, is black powder coated for corrosion resistance. Most of the ball mounts we carry will be powder coated unless otherwise stated (like the aluminum ball mounts). This particular ball mount is considered extra long because it measures 11-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. I have included a link to our ball mount FAQ for you as a reference.

  • Measuring for the Correct Rise or Drop for a 2005 Land Rover Range Rover
  • If the hitch on your 2005 Range Rover is a Class III or higher hitch with a 2 inch receiver then you can use any compatible ball mount with the correct rise or drop required to tow your trailer level. To measure for the correct rise or drop needed, park the trailer and vehicle on level ground and then unhook from the trailer. Measure from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the vehicle. Then measure from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler with the trailer level. If t

  • Why is an Extra Long Ball Mount Needed for a Trailer Hitch on a 1992 Ford Crown Victoria
  • On some model vehicles the Class III trailer hitches fit (and that also fit the 1992 Ford Crown Victoria) we have found that the receiver is recessed beneath the vehicle far enough to necessitate a longer ball mount, # 80228. Hidden Hitch trailer hitch # 87408 is a popular option for your vehicle. Use # PC3 for a pin and clip. For a 2-5/16 inch ball use # 19287 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19262. For trailer wiring use # 118326. I have linked installation instructions for the hitch and wiring.
