Getting your trailer level makes all the difference when it comes to stability and handling. This drawbar gives you up to a 5-3/8" rise or a 6" drop, so you can dial in just the right height for your setup. The flexibility to use it in either position helps keep the trailer tracking straight and braking evenly on every trip.
You want a dependable connection that holds up when you’re towing a small trailer, not something overbuilt that adds extra hassle. This mount’s rated for a gross towing weight of 2,000 lbs and a tongue weight of 200 lbs, giving you plenty of strength for light-duty hauls without unnecessary bulk.
Sometimes less is more. The fixed design keeps things straightforward and solid, with fewer parts to loosen or rattle. It fits 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" hitch receivers and works with both Class I and Class II setups. Once it’s pinned in place, it stays steady so you can hook up and get rolling.
Road grime, water, and salt can eat through finishes fast. The sturdy steel shank on this ball mount is protected by a corrosion-resistant, high-gloss black powder coat that holds up against the elements. Even after repeated use, it keeps its clean look while continuing to protect the metal underneath.

I needed a 6 inch drop ball mount for my new utility trailer. I knew that Etrailer would have a quality product to fit this. Curt is a great product.
Nice piece. Needed the rise for my Toyota Yaris. Very tight fit almost against the bumper but it works.
Hitch works great. Needed the 6" drop for my 2005 Ford Explorer with stock 1-1/4" hitch to tow my utility trailer.
This is described as having a 5-3/8" rise, but the label on it says 4-5/8". Also, the shaft was too short to clear my bumper. I returned it.
Bought two hitch mounts and a tie-down strap. Quality of all is outstanding but, even better, the service was fantastic. The three items arrived 2 days after I ordered them. I did not have to pay anything for shipping. Before ordering them I asked a couple online questions and the answers came quickly, within a couple hours. Highly recommend etrailer.com.
Just what I needed to level my kayak trailer behind my Prius after I put larger wheels on the trailer. Fit my hitch receiver perfectly.
etrailer provided me with enough information to guide me to purchase my 6 inch drop bar for my 2017 Outback with a 1.25 hitch. Excellent service and best price I researched. Great online company.
Very pleased with on line process/speed, installation information, and quality of the product. Five stars.

Very satisfied with quality and price.
E-trailer has excellent customer service! We ordered several pieces to install a trailer hitch on my Honda Fit and accidentally ordered an incompatible piece. Karla from Etrailer called me the following day to notify me of the incompatibility of the parts and suggested the correct one. Hitch is now installed and works perfectly!

I’m not sure if my receiver is Mis-sized or this Ball mount. I had to grind down the mounting shaft to get it to fit in my receiver which is a draw tight 1 1/4 x 1 1/4. Additionally, the lock pin hole is place so tight to the minimum requirement for the receiver that the ball mount actually damaged my bumper trying to get the lock pin could fit through ( my fault for being optimistic). Could you not give this product another half inch of shaft length? Check the specs before you order this product. I was so disappointed after waiting to receive this but, not only did it not work, but it also damage my vehicle upon installation. I’m not a complainer just thinking… Wow this is such a minimalist product. Do your research with full specs before you purchase this product.
These are the final 2 pieces that i needed to hook up a trailer to my Subaru Impreza. A year ago i bought the hitch and a bike rack from eTrailer (both of which work excellent together). The ball and drawbar went together easy and fit perfect in the hitch. The drawbar in the raised position puts the trailer almost at a perfect level.
Great product, have it on our 2014 Forester, using it as a bumper guard-for those people that pull in too close in parking lots and get against your car. I have the rise UP and then mounted two LED lights to the rise, connected to trailer light socket for extra turn signal lights and brake lights. Really shows up great.
delivered before date due. professional and helpful customer service rep. If i need a part from etrailer or know of someone who does, I would definitely recommend this company Thank you

works great no problems
This see's a lot of action for a small hitch on my Jeep and it has held up very well. Durable and well built.
The drop down distance is just right for my trailer to sit level.

So Ive had this for a year now and absolutely no issues. It gets put in and out regularly to tow my utility trailer with my Jeep Wrangler TJ. its the right down distance for keeping my trailer level due to the lift on my jeep. I still recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a down or if needed flip it to raise it Great product and Im still glad I purchased it.
As advertised at a good price. I need the drop down for my Ford Explorer,
as the hitch receptacle on the bumper is too high for my trailer to be level
without the drop.
Works well.............

Still good...
Perfect fit. Gave me the right amount of rise to get past the bumper and up to level out my trailer.
My complaint here is not with etrailer but with Curt. I put a Curt hitch on my Hyundai Sonata, perfect fit but because the Sonata is so low, the receiver is only 10" off the ground. I initially ordered a 5-3/8" rise drawbar but it did not have a long enough bar for the vertical portion to clear the bumper. I am having to use one with a longer bar but the rise is only 2-5/8" which put the trailer tongue lower than it should be. Curt designed the hitch for this low vehicle, they should make the 5-3/8" rise drawbar with a longer bar. etrailer knows their stuff and this is the only solution. The small single axel utility trailer I will be pulling will be lightly loaded so it will work OK but it will be angled down more than it should be. etrailer was super about swapping it out for me.

Fair. I shorten the chains as much as possible but they still drag some.
I have purchased other products from your company in the past and not only find the products high quality but the shopping experience is superior. Very fast shipping and constant updates on the items expected arrival date. Thanks so much.
This product works great on my Mountaineer. With the 6" drop, my trailer rides level. The service was great, and the entire process was simple start to finish.
Draw bar arrived sooner that expected and was packaged great for the weight. My current draw bar was not low enough for the trailer and this bar drops the trailer down to a great working and traveling height.
This product came exactly as described and is the perfect fit for my hitch to allow me to pull a trailer.
Excellent Seller and Fast Shipping.
I used this on a 2014 Ford Fusion with a Reese receiver hitch made for my vehicle. Either the neck of the drop hitch is not long enough to get the ball a few inches away from the vehicle or the Reese receiver hitch sits too far under the vehicle.

The center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch sits approximately 4-1/4 inches under the rear bumper of your Fusion. This ball mount measures only 5-9/16 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole. For a ball mount with similar rise but much more clearance for your bumper I recommend the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-14 inch Hitches # 36065 for use on your 2014 Ford Fusion. The Draw-Tite ball mount offers 10 inches of clearance from center of the hitch pin hole to center of hitch ball hole.

We measure rise and a little differently than Curt, hence the discrepancies with the label on their # C45028. Curt tends to round and estimate their measurements a little bit, but we go from the top of the ball platform to the top of the shank to get the 5-38 rise. This goes for the measurement as well, just with the ball mount flipped over. For a longer shank part # BM96 would work for you.
