• Best Trailer Hitch for a 2004 Volvo XC70
  I do have a trailer hitch receiver that will fit your 2004 Volvo XC70 but it has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening, not a 2" receiver tube opening. They do not make one with such for your Volvo and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13559 that you referenced will not fit. The correct trailer hitch I recommend for you is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12318 which as previously mentioned has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. The 1-1/4" receiver tube opening however can still do mostly...

• Ball Mount and Roof Rack for 2015 Ford Escape
  Let's start with the ball mount; since your Escape has a towing package and a hitch, you should start with a ball mount. You mentioned a Class II hitch so I am assuming your receiver is 1-1/4". As for the correct rise or drop, since your camper company specified 16 inches to the top of the ball you'll only need to measure from the ground to the top of your hitch receiver and find the difference between the two measurements. If the height of your hitch is greater, you will need a ball...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Ford Fusion
  Long story short you would need a trailer to transport a heavy duty power scooter with a 2015 Ford Fusion. The highest rated hitch we offer for your vehicle is the Curt part # C12091 that has a 350 lb tongue weight rating which doesn't sound like it would be enough when you consider the weight of the carrier as well. This hitch would work well to tow a light trailer with though. For a ball mount you would want the part # C45016, hitch ball # 19256 for 1-7/8 inch and part # 19258 for 2...

If you decide to tow a small motorcycle trailer, I recommend looking at the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11190.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2010 VW GTI MK6
  For your 2010 VW GTI, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11000. This is a system rated for 2000 lbs max and 200 lbs tongue weight max, so you will want to make sure your trailer doesn't exceed that and that your towing capacity in your owners manual allows for that. The manufacturer specs trump the hitch ratings, so you will go off that capacity if it is less than the hitch is rated for. For a ball mount, I recommend the Curt Class II Drawbar...

• Can a 2016 Ford Fusion be Used to Carry a 200 Lb Scooter
  I do have an option for you but your 2016 Ford Fusion only has a 200 tongue weight capacity. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12091 that you referenced which is a fit for your Fusion has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity but since the vehicle is lower it will need to be the figure you abide by. The weakest component when you are towing or hauling is always going to be your limiting factor. The other issue you would run into trying to haul a scooter with the above trailer hitch is...

• Towing Capacity and Parts Need to Tow a Trailer with a 2016 Ford Fusion
  The towing capacity of your 2016 Ford Fusion won't change based on the hitch you choose. According to its owner's manual the Fusion can tow 2,000 pounds if it's the 2.0L GTDI model. Otherwise its max is 1,000 pounds unless you have the Hybrid or Energi models which are not rated to tow at all. The hitch I recommend for your Fusion is the Curt # C12091. I like the Curt because they're generally built better than some others and just as reasonably priced. All of our prices on the product...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring Harness and Ball Mount for 2004 Volvo XC70
  There are options to install a trailer hitch on your 2004 Volvo XC70 but the only fits for this vehicle are Class II hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and they do not allow weight distribution to be used; I checked with the hitch manufacturers to make sure. Among these hitches for your Volvo I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch # C12318 durable steel construction, easy bolt-on installation and the fact is made in the USA. The accompanying photo is one a customer sent in of this hitch installed...

• Will a 2016 Ford Fusion SE Tow a 1,100 Lb Trailer
  I cannot recommend that you tow a 1,100 lb trailer with your 2016 Ford Fusion SE that has a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 lbs for liability reasons but in all honesty, you would most likely be just fine. Personally, I wouldn't really be concerned with towing over capacity by only 100 lbs. I would just avoid hilly areas if at all possible. In order to tow a trailer with your Fusion you will need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. Also, if you will be...

• Towing Capacity of a 2016 Ford Fusion SE and Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations
  The towing capacity of the 2016 Ford Fusion is going to depend on the powertrain in the vehicle: 1.5L GTDI models have a 1,000 pound towing capacity 2.0L GTDI models have a 2,000 pound towing capacity 2.5L TiVCT models have a 1,000 pound towing capacity 2.7L GTDI models have a 1,000 pound towing capacity None of the models can tow 2,800 pounds. If yours has the 2.0 liter motor then that would have the highest capacity at 2,000 pounds. You are limited to the capacity of the vehicle since...

• How Much Weight Can a 2003 Honda Accord Tow
  The Curt hitch # C11290 that you referenced is rated for towing up to 2,000 lbs. I looked up your 2003 Honda Accord's towing capacity and it looks to be 1,000 lbs. Since you are only as strong as the weakest component in your towing setup you'd have a 1,000 lb overall towing capacity that you'd need to keep your trailer under. For trailer wiring you'd then want the T-one kit part # 118302 for a 4-way. For a ball mount you'd then want the # C45016 and for a hitch ball # A-80.

• Trailer Hitch Fit for 2015 Ford Fusion Energi
  Officially we have to recommend that you always stay with the recommendation of the manufacturer on towing as they are who the warranty of the vehicle is with and they are who would have tested the vehicle for towing. That being said we realize that a lot of people ignore their owners manual and tow with vehicles that aren't designed for it and allegedly do not have any problems. So our hitch manufacturers make hitches for these vehicles as there is a demand for them but it's a situation...

• Trailer HItch and Wiring for a 2015 Volkswagen Golf
  We do have one trailer hitch for the 2015 Volkswagen Golf. It is Curt hitch # C11412. It will not fit the R models. If you plan on doing some towing consult the owners manual to make sure you can.

• Can 2012 Nissan Altima Carry Hitch-Mounted Carrier With Electric Wheelchair
  I did some research on your 2012 Altima and found that the towing capacity of your vehicle is 1,000 lbs and the maximum tongue weight is 100 lbs. With the weight of the MaxxTow 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier MT70106 at 85 lbs, that would not leave enough capacity for the electric wheelchair you said you need to carry. My best recommendation is to have a hitch installed and find a small trailer to load the wheelchair on. The hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Sportframe, part # 24796. This...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid
  I would recommend you go with a Class II hitch over a Class I hitch. The capacities will be higher and more hitch accessory options will be available. For example, with a Class I hitch you can only carry up to 2 bikes, whereas with a Class II you can carry up to 4. I attached a help article that covers the differences between hitch classes for you to check out as well. For a hitch I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # C12091. This is a Class II hitch that would work well towing a trailer...

• What is the Height With and Without Rise on Ball Mount for 2016 Ford Fusion
  For your 2016 Ford Fusion, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12091 is a confirmed fit. This hitch will be 10-3/4 inches from the ground to the inside top of the receiver opening. When using a ball mount like # C45016, this will give you a 2-5/8 inch rise from that location giving you 13-5/8 inches from the ground in that rise position. In the drop position, the top of the mount or bottom of the actual hitch ball will be at 7-3/8 inches from the ground....

  First you are going to want to check the vehicle owners manual to determine the towing capacity of the 2013 Volkswagen GTI.

• Recommended Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2005 Honda Accord
  You are correct in how the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver -Class I - 1-1/4" # C11290 is mounted. This hitch has been tested to hold a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs and a maximum trailer towing weight of 2,000 lbs when loaded. A riding lawn mower on a small trailer is probably at close to the maximum capacity of this hitch, so I recommend calculating the weights before doing this as your owners manual states 1000 lbs towing max and 100 lbs tongue weight. For your trailer wiring, I recommend...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Volkswagen Golf TDI
  The Curt trailer hitch, # C11000, has about as much of the crossmember showing but the round tube design fits the overall design of the vehicle, in my opinion, than the other hitch options. I have linked the instructions for you. You can look at some of the customer submitted review photos and judge for yourself. I think it looks pretty good. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount is # C45016. You will also need pin and clip # PC2. Fora 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and...

• Correct Draw Bar for Curt Class I Receiver C45025 on 2012 VW Golf TDI
  The draw bar included with the hitch is part # C45016, which has a 2-5/8 inch rise, or 3-1/4 inch drop. Ideally, you want to tow the trailer so that it is as level as possible, but being within an inch and a half either way is close enough for government work. Keep in mind that hitch is designed to work best with a draw bar with the same drop as the C45016, and using a draw bar with a different rise or drop is not recommended. I will link you to our FAQ article that shows how to correctly...
