Question:
I am in the process of buying a Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar for my 2007 Subaru Forester. I am trying to decide which ball I should get. In particular, I need help with the shaft length for the Curt Drawbar that comes with my hitch. Since my car is only rated to pull 2,000 lbs, I thought I should go with the 1-7/8 ball with a 3/4 shank. The problem is I am not sure what the difference in the shank length means for me.

Expert Reply:
You will need a trailer ball (the size of the ball will depend on the coupler size of the trailer you are wanting to tow) with a shank diameter of 3/4 inch. For the ballmount that comes with your hitch, I would recommend the either the 1-7/8 Inch Trailer Hitch Ball part # 19256 or for a 2 inch ball, part # 19258.

I don't normally give good service, praise. I was shocked at the 1 day delivery and the trailer hitch anti-rattle & lock was exactly what I needed. Thanks, Bob
