• How Difficult Is It To Install A Hitch On A 2021 Mustang Mach-E
  Installing either the Curt # C77ER or the Draw-Tite # DT92MR on your 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E does indeed require trimming of the bumper fascia due to the hidden nature of how they install. This can be a bit daunting as it is your brand new vehicle, but fret not for it is not too difficult to accomplish. You can do this a few ways, but slow and steady will make for cleaner and straighter lines. To start, measure twice, mark with painters tape, or something similar, and then verify your...

• Recommended Solution for Ball Mount with Multiple Hitch Balls and 7" Drop That Won't Drag
  The 2" hitch ball on the B&W Tow and Stow # BWTS10049B is on the left hand side and not on the top, so as you've noted it might potentially drag the 2-5/16" ball when towing in that orientation. With that said, typically you'll have at least 12" of coupler height to tow level and the hitch ball will only extend down about 3-1/2", so you would still have at least 8-1/2" of clearance from the ground which in most cases should leave you safe. This would be the best solution we have available...

• How to Trim Plastic Fascia for Hitch Ball Installation on Silverado 1500 OEM Step Bumper
  To install a hitch ball with a 1-inch shank, such as the Curt 3500-lb-rated 1-7/8-inch ball # C40017, you'll want to start by making a 1-inch hole in the plastic fascia using a drill bit. Initially you will want the hole to be only as large as needed to match the diameter of the shank of the hitch ball you're using. Start out with just the 1-inch diameter to accept the ball's shank, then enlarge the hole using a hole saw of the appropriate diameter to match the ball's base diameter.

• How Much Can a 2014 Toyota Tacoma Tow with the Bumper
  The towing capacity of the bumper on your 2014 Toyota Tacoma assuming you have the cutout will vary from 3,300 - 3,500 lbs depending on options. I advise you to take a look starting at page 228 of your owner's manual to see these options. Therefore, so long as your jon boat does not exceed the above then you will be good to go. If you need a hitch ball, I recommend the Hitch Ball part # C40017 for 1-7/8" or part # C40020 for 2" so long as you have a 1" diameter ball hole. If your jon...

• Extended Hitch to Tow 2,000 Pound Trailer
  The # BX88264 hitch extender is for flat towing or carrying hitch accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Instead, the Curt Hitch Extender # C45795 can be used for towing. It's 14 inches long. However, when using any hitch extender, you will reduce your hitch's tongue weight by 50 percent. You will need to make sure you are staying under this capacity. For another option that won't impact your tongue weight, the Curt Class III Ball Mount # C45270 is 13 inches long. It provides...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis W/ Dual Exhaust
  The Class III rating on a trailer hitch receiver means it has a 2" receiver and has a higher tongue weight and trailer weight rating than a Class I or II hitch. Class III hitches are what we typically recommend if they are available for the specific vehicle as the 2" receiver offers the most options for accessories like a bike rack, cargo carrier, or ball mount, and the increased tongue weight and trailer weight ratings are ideal for knowing the receiver on your vehicle is plenty strong...

• Recommendations For Getting 28 Extension For 2 Hitch On 2014 Ram 1500 Carrying Truck Bed Camper
  I may have an option for you, but there is not a hitch extender that measures at least 28" that will work with the 2" trailer hitch receiver on your 2014 Ram 1500. With that said you could use the longest available adapter, the Curt Extender for 2" Receivers -18" Long # C45796, with an extra long ball mount, the Curt Class III Drawbar - 2" Rise - 4" Drop - 13" Long - 7,500 lbs # C45270.

• Recommended Ball Mount for a Setup that Needs 1-3/4 inch Rise
  For a ball mount that will give you the correct amount of rise for your setup you would want the Curt Ball Mount part # C45270. This has a 2 inch rise which would work well for you when you consider that with the tongue weight of your trailer on the hitch the rear suspension will most like sag slightly which would allow your trailer to sit perfectly level. If you need a pin and clip part # F-4 would be what to use. Or for a locking hitch pin # e98880. For a 2 inch hitch ball you would...
