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.

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: Stuart06/27/2023
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: Charles 03/10/2023
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.

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.

It’s perfect
by: Glenn09/25/2020
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: John08/10/2022
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: Stuart 10/19/2022
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: Robert 08/14/2020
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.

- 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.
view full answer... - Bumper Clearance on Curt High-Low Adapter # C59KRThe 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...

- 4 inch Hitch High Low Adapter with Hitch LockFor a high low adapter with a 4 inch drop you could use the part # C59KR and then you could use the hitch lock part # e99047 that you referenced as well.
view full answer... - Does the Curt High-Low Adapter Work w/ the Falcon All Terrain Tow BarYes, the Curt High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars item # C59KR can be used with the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar item # RM-522. The high-low has a maximum weight capacity of 7,500 lbs.
view full answer... - 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.
view full answer... - Can the Viking Solutions Rack Jack Magnum Hoist be ExtendedIf you are needing the Viking Solutions Rack Jack Magnum Hoist # 310-VMH001 to be extended further from the vehicle you can use a hitch extender like the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers # C45791. The thing to keep in mind with that is you will lose 50% of your hitch's weight capacity by using an extender and the Rack Jack may sit too far out from the truck bed for your load to swivel over the bed. If you are needing the rack jack to be taller there is not an extension for the...
view full answer... - Does Use of High Low Adapter When Flat Towing Require Longer Umbilical AdapterThe additional length added by the Curt High Low Adapter # C59KR that you referenced would not cause a 6 foot 6-way to 7-way adapter to be too short. I am not totally sure which you had in mind but we do have the Blue Ox part # BX88206 which is coiled and can expand to 7 feet. Since the coils are basically spring loaded it keeps tension in the adapter to prevent it from dragging.
view full answer... - High-Low Adapter That Is 8 Long And Has A 4 Rise/DropYes we do, we have the: -Curt High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # C59KR This high-low adapter features a 4" rise/drop, fits into a 2" x 2" trailer hitch, is 8" long, and has a maximum weight capacity of 7,500-lbs. If you're looking for a high low adapter that has 8" rise/drop, the only one we offer is the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-048-8.
view full answer... - Blue Ox Baseplate And Complete Flat Towing Setup For A 2015 Ford FiestaEvery base plate that we offer, like the: - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2622 that you were checking out, attaches to the bumper frame of the vehicle. 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. If you're interested in a complete...
view full answer... - 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...

If you are going to be flat towing you will also need a braking system like the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # HM39524. A Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7. This will keep you lights synced up...
view full answer... - Complete Flat Towing Setup For A 1997 Jeep WranglerThe braking used on a trailer with a brake controller is different than the brakes needed when flat towing a vehicle, so you will not be able to use your brake controller, unfortunately. Instead, I recommend using the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This is going to be the easiest system to set up and use. The remainder of the parts needed is the: -Base plate -Tow Bar -Tow Bar Wiring -Safety Cables -High-Low Adapter. For a base plate, the etrailer...

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. Additionally,...
