• Class III Trailer Hitch for 2016 Subaru Outback that Does Not Require Drilling
  I do have a 2 inch hitch that is a no-drill installation for your 2016 Subaru Outback. It is the Curt # C13410. These hitches are getting very popular with Subaru owners. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. Although the instructions for Class III trailer hitches such as # 75673 for your 2016 Subaru Outback state that an access hole will need to be drilled it is possible to avoid that if you can access the inside of the frame another way. In this case it means...

I attached a help article that details how to pick out a ball mount drop as well.

• Towing Capacity for 2016 Chevrolet Traverse without Factory Tow Package
  When looking at weight capacities of a towing setup, you will always be limited by a system's weakest component. I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2016 Chevrolet Traverse and saw that for a front-wheel drive model that does not have the factory trailer towing package, the maximum trailer weight is 2,000 pounds. As you mentioned in your question, the factory towing package would have bumped it up to 5,200 pounds. So with your Traverse that does not have the factory tow...

• Parts Needed to Use Tow Dolly with 2018 Fleetwood Discovery LXE 38K
  Basically all you'd need is the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 and then a brake controller installed in your 2018 Fleetwood Discovery LXE 38K to activate the dolly brakes and you'd be good. If you don't have a ball mount with a 2 inch ball you would need that as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake...

• Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13380 Fit a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse LT
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13380 that you referenced will fit all models of the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse including your LT. I confirmed this with my contact at Curt.

• Recommended Trailer Ball Mount for 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
  The correct ball mount for your vehicle will depend on the height of the hitch on your Outlander. When we installed a hitch like # C13398 on your vehicle, we found that the inside top of the receiver tube was about 11 inches above the ground. Since the average trailer coupler height is between 16-18 inches, you'll want a ball mount that provides about 6 inches of rise. Since the # C45036 you'd looked at provides a 2 inch drop, it wouldn't be a good choice. To figure out the exact rise...

• Recommended Equipment Needed for Towing with a 2017 Honda Pilot
  Both the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13146 that you are interested in and the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98840 are identical in weight capacities and installation as well so either one will do a great job. Since you are interested in the Curt option I recommend going ahead with that trailer hitch. You will need to note that neither of these options will fit your 2017 Honda Pilot if you have the full size spare tires with a wheel diameter larger than 18 inches. This will work great with the 24x59...

• Will a Trailer Hitch Interfere with the Foot Tailgate Activation on a 2018 Mercedes GLA 250
  Installing a trailer hitch, like the Curt # C13197 that you referenced, on a vehicle like your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA-250 with the foot activated tailgate will slightly interfere with the activation. Typically you will wave your foot right where the hitch receiver sits. When you install a trailer hitch you will simply need to kick straight out to the left or right of the receiver openening to activate your tailgate. Installation instructions have been attached for you to reference, but...

• Solution to Fix Misaligned Bolt Holes With the Curt Ball Mount and Class IV Trailer Hitch
  Hey Manuel, I'm sorry to hear that, but Curt # C45036 and # C14017 should work fine together. If they're not, the only thing you can try apart from sending it back, is make those holes a bit bigger so the pin can get all the way through. I'd only suggest this if they are just barely off, if it's more than let's say a quarter inch, then I'd send it back. If you have any other questions, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

• Will the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13042 Fit a 1998 Chevy Pickup 1500
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13042 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 1998 Chevy 1500.

If you will be using this trailer hitch to tow lighter trailers that don't utilize brakes then you will also want to install the Tekonsha T-One # 118315 to activate the basic trailer lighting functions....

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Equipment Needed for a Bike rack and Towing with a 2018 Kia Sorento
  For your 2018 Kia Sorento I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75908. This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening that can accommodate a wide variety of accessories. It has a max Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) of 5,000 lbs and a max Tongue Weight (TW) of 500 lbs but since your Sorento has a GTW range of 2,000 - 3,500 lbs depending on the model, you will want to check your owner's manual to see what your weight capacities will be.

• 2 Inch Ball Mount with Zero Rise or Drop for Level Towing
  The Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2-3/4" Rise, 4" Drop - 9" Long - 7.5K # 2753 is not the correct fit for zero rise or drop. For the zero rise or drop you will need the Curt Solid 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2" and 2-5/16" Balls - 10K - Chrome # C45002. Rise or drop is based on the inside top of the trailer hitch receiver. I've linked an article to assist. If you want the ball platform to be even with the bottom of that opening then you would actually need a 2 inch drop ball...

• Can a Trailer Hitch Mount to the Front of Ford F-350 Bed to Tie Down a Power Washer
  What you could do is use the Curt combo bar # E-9. Mounting something to the actual bed is not the best idea because the walls could be too weak or flimsy to hold or stabilize a heavy load. I wouldn't take the risk since the power washer is likely pretty heavy and if the straps failed, it could crush the truck bed where the ball mount is attached. You may need to fabricate something that is integrated into the bed supports or truck frame. Once you secure the Curt combo bar # E-9, you...

• What Size Wrench to Hold Wrench Flat of Curt Ball of Ball Mount # C45036
  Typically people use a large crescent wrench to hold the wrench flats on the ball of the # C45036 but if you wanted a dedicated wrench you'd want a wrench in the size of 1-1/2 inch. You'd want to tighten the nut of the hitch ball to 250 ft lbs.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for Ground Clearance for Towing and Carrying Bikes on a 2018 Outback Wagon
  Adding a trailer hitch will affect the ground clearance on certain vehicles depending on how it installs. In the case of your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon it will affect the ground clearance a little due to the hitch receiver sitting under the bumper and rear fascia. The trailer hitch that will affect it the least and what I recommend using is the EcoHitch # 306-X7601. From the top of the inside of the receiver opening to the ground on a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon is about 16" so the ground...
