Note: Designed for flat towing only. Do not use to tow a trailer.


Many tow systems require some sort of hitch accessory to either raise or lower your tow bar so that it sits level. To determine if your setup needs an adapter, hook the tow bar up to your rv and towed car and measure to see how close to level it is. The "safe zone" for a motor-home-mounted tow bar ranges from 3 inches above level to 3 inches below. Car-mounted models must be absolutely level. This high-low adapter can provide you with the necessary drop or desired rise to achieve a level tow bar setup.

by:

We tow our Jeep behind our motorhome. After adding a 4-1/2" lift, the tow bar angle was out of normal range. This was the perfect solution! Works great!



by:

I truthfully have not used this product as I purchased it with a carrier that was to heavy for me to place in the hitch of my truck. Therefore I never used to adapter.



by:

Never knew my tow bar was off center till I saw the comments on needing to be level with towed vehicles tow brackets.



by:

Drop hitch works great. Good quality and would buy again.



by:

Works as it should. I wish it had the ability to put a bike rack in the other slot though.



by:

etrailer shipping was prompt and the base plate was received in a few days. I installed these myself in one day. I have not yet towed the Maverick but I do not foresee any problems. I chose the Blue Ox base plate over the RoadMaster because the RoadMaster required extensive modification to the Active Shutters. The Blue Ox instructions skip some details that end up taking time to resolve. There are clips holding the fascia to the fender that broke when I pulled the fascia, maybe they could have been released from the inside before pulling. There is a black box on the driver's side frame that has to be temporarily removed to install the base plate. The base plate bolt interferes with installation of the black box. I bent the black box bracket to get it to fit but now the box contacts the marker lamp on the fascia (I'll have to watch for future wear/damage). Cutting holes in the fake fog lamps was time consuming as there is a lot of guess work about the location. Although the instructions say start cutting holes for the tow tabs, it's the safety chain connections that are challenging. The problem is trying to hold the fascia up in position while the base plate pushes it away from the truck. The cutouts end up being a little crude but not really noticeable in the grand overview.



by:

The hitch adapter is holding up very well after thousands of miles of towing my Jeep with the RV. Very satisfied with the choice.



by:

great product good service



by:

It does what it is supposed to do.



by:

Easy to install. Either raise 4 inches or lower 4". Heavy duty. Great finish. Would order again



by:

I bought the drop hitch for my bike rack as the ramp would be not as steep. As far as the unit, I would have liked having the lower tube further back on the upper tube so it doesn't stick out so far. When I park in a parking lot I have to fold the bike rack up as otherwise it sticks out far enough that it might get hit by a passing vehicle.



by:

Received the hi lo hitch adapter, looks good. Outstanding delivery service delivered days ahead of time. When I ordered this, a trailer suggested it would be close to a week. I received my tow bar hitch in three days and received the Hilow adapter in four days. Outstanding service.

Works great, no issues. I’ve inspected the unit, pulli roughly 15,000 miles, with no cracks in the welds.



by:

Always responsive. The best customer se rvice.



by:

Product is very well made and fits perf ectly.



by:

Needed a drop hitch but wanted the shortest possible. The Curt fit that bill and has higher load ratings than others.

Etrailer delivery prompt as always.

Continues service as advertised.



by:

Just right drop



by:

Great fit, looks great



by:

I would recommend 2 anti-raddle clams to keep your riser and tow bar extremely ridged. This is a good solution if your toad and Motor home hitch are not level.



by:

I am very satisfied and pleased that all of the components to connect my 2021 Chevy spark were purchased and installed through etrailer. It couldn't have been handled any better.

etrailer is an outstanding source for selection and purchase of related automotive equipment! I highly recommend them.



by:

Trevor went beyond the required, shipped item out same day while I was returning the item I incorrectly ordered. Item already installed on the motorhome.



by:

Informative website that helps choose the right product of the many options available. Fast delivery is an added bonus.

Great-it is working exactly as planned.



by:

It is great. Easy to hookup. Easy to take down. Love it.



by:

Ordered items from Etrailer before and have never been disappointed. Called them a few times with questions and they are always very easy to work with.



by:

Item as described and arrived quickly. Needed it for trailer height issues on some yard equipment and it looks to be a perfect height adjustment (and a bit more distance from the back of the tractor). .



by:

Purchased to raise my bike rack above my exhaust to avoid damaging the bike tires and rack. Seems to have worked perfectly so far.

  • Recommended Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for a 2023 Ford Bronco
    For a Blue Ox compatible base plate kit that works with your 2023 Ford Bronco, you will need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU23XR. This kit is custom fit and comes with everything needed to install it on your Bronco. These attach in the same place where your recovery hooks are located. The base plate replaces the recovery points which are not rated to be used for flat towing. I have attached a picture below so you can see what they look like installed.

    Yes, the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524 will work great in place of the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400. If you plan on flat towing your 2011 Honda CR-V often, I recommend installing a permanent system like the Roadmaster BrakeMaster System w BrakeAway for RVs w Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9160. This is a one time install system that makes connecting and disconnecting your toad much easier and faster. If...

    For a complete towing setup for your 2017 GMC Acadia, you're going to need a base plate, a braking system, a tow bar, tow bar wiring, and a high-low adapter.

  • Bumper Clearance on Curt High-Low Adapter # C59KR
    The Curt High-Low Adapter # C59KR should work for giving you ground clearance for your cargo carrier. The measurement from the shank hitch pin hole to the back end of the top receiver is 5-1/2", which should be enough clearance for your bumper. Refer to the diagram attached below and measure your hitch setup to make sure. Note this adapter does not come with a hitch pin and clip. If you need one, I recommend the Curt # C21510. Check out the videos linked below for more details on these...

  • How Much Rise/Drop Does The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar Have
    Yes, the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR would have enough adjustability between the 1-1/2" shank rise/drop and the 3" of tilt to meet your 4" difference. I've attached a video below where Dave will go over how to adjust this tow bar to fit your application. If you wanted to use a high/low adapter you could use the Curt High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # C59KR, which has a 4" rise or drop.

  • Is Curt High-Low Adapter Rated for Accessories
    The Curt High-Low Adapter # C59KR is designed for flat towing only. Curt doesn't even test it for accessories to give it a tongue weight rating. The Roadmaster # RM-048-4 is the most comparable with a distance of 9-5/8" from hitch pin to hitch pin hole and a 4" drop/rise. This has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity. However, use of an adapter is going to cut the capacity of your hitch by 50% so you won't be able to use the full capacity of the cargo carrier. The 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier #...

  • What 4-Bike Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 2021 Hyundai Palisade?
    I have a great solution for you. I confirmed with Curt that they do not have a tongue weight rating for the Curt High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 4" Rise/Drop - 8" Long # C59KR because this adapter is recommended to use for flat-towing applications only. With that being said, the Curt High-Low Adapter # C59KR only has a tested gross towing weight capacity of 7,500 pounds. However, if you want a great adapter alternative that has been tested for its tongue weight capacity, I...

  • Complete Flat Towing Setup For A 2000 Honda CR-V With A ReadyBrute Tow Bar
    Sure thing! Along with your ReadyBrute tow bar, you're also going to need a base plate if you don't already have one. If you don't the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1528-3 with the adapter # RM-032 will work great for your 2000 Honda CR-V. Next, you're going to need a braking system. I recommend taking a look at the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. I like this system because it is lightweight, portable, and easy to setup. Continuing,...

    For a first time flat tow all the information and requirements can seem overwhelming but lets go step by step and see how simple it and safe it actually is. First you need a base plate.

  • Can The Curt High-Low Adapter Be Used To Tow A Trailer?
    Unfortunately, the Curt High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # C59KR is not to be used to tow a trailer, and should only be used for hitch mounted accessories. Instead, you'll want to use a ball mount to tow your trailer. For instance, you can use the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 2753, which has 2-3/4" of rise, and 4" of drop, is 9" long, and is capable of towing up to 7,500-lbs. I recommend using the FAQ I've attached, to help determine the needed rise/drop.

    The Thule Apex # TH9027XT has similar dimensions to the Yakima Full Swing # Y02465 and will come in contact with your spare tire if you try to swing the back trunk door open. I attached a picture where we tried this bike rack with a Jeep with a spare tire and it did not clear. The common issue with bike racks that sit far out enough to clear the spare tire is that they are still too high to clear the back door even when tilted or swung away.

  • Is There A High/Low Hitch Adapter Available For A 3" Hitch With A 4-6" Rise And 8-10" Length
    Hey John, We don't currently offer any high/low adapters compatible with a 3" hitch that would meet the drop and length you're needing but we do offer the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers for 3" Hitch # 325-GH-1723 which might work for you. This adapter has a 6" drop and sticks out roughly 8" from the 5/8" hitch pin hole and roughly 9" from the 3/4" hitch pin hole.

  • Complete Flat Towing Setup For A 2007 Chevrolet HHR With A Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
    For your 2007 Chevrolet HHR, the base plate you'll need is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1692. Since this is a Blue Ox base plate and you're using a Roadmaster tow bar, you're also going to need the adapter # RM-031 to be able to use the two components together. If you're needing the complete flat towing setup, you're also going to need wiring # RM-15267, a braking system # HM39494, the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass # RM76511, and more than likely a high-low adapter # C59KR.

This adapter, will work with the tow bar but won't work with the D-rings. You would need a blue ox base plate.

  • High Low Adapter for Flat Towing 2013 Honda CR-V
    Hey Richard, it sounds like you are looking for a high low adapter for when you will be flat towing your 2013 Honda CR-V. So the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2258 that fits your vehicle has a bracket height of 15-1/2 inches so you'd want an adapter that drops right at 5 inches or so. Keep in mind if you are within 3 inches of level you are okay at that point. For that the Curt part # C59KR would work great as it can provide a drop of 4 inches. We do ship to Canada as well ay.

However most likely what you have surface rust on your 2015 Ford Fiesta, and isn't anything to worry about, but to be completely sure you can either take ball-peen hammer and tap away some of the rust to see if it's thinned out, or, you can take it to your local mechanic shop and have them inspect it.
