• Is it Better to Go with Higher or Lower Rise Ball Mount than Needed
  You've got good instincts. I recommend going with a ball mount that has a 2 inch rise for the exact reason you mentioned, the truck will settle a bit with the tongue weight and any cargo weight. The ball mount we offer with a 2 inch rise is the Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270. This is considered an extra long ball mount, measuring 13 inches from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole. Another option is the Curt Ball Mount for 2 Inch Hitches - Angled Shank # C45230. This ball mount has...

• Parts Needed to Complete Towing Package on 2020 Land Rover Defender D110 with Factory Towing
  Unfortunately we do not have towing components like a hitch or wiring that have been confirmed to fit on the 2020 Land Rover Defender yet, but if your vehicle came with the towing package included you should already have a hitch and wiring present though. If you actually just need a ball mount and hitch ball that fit into the receiver, then it looks like the D110 comes with a 2" receiver. For that I recommend starting with something like the Curt # C45230, which can be used for trailers...

• Recommended Tow Dolly for 2007 Toyota Prius behind 2017 Toyota Sienna
  The tongue weight of a tow dolly is minimal because it has the weight of the front of the tow vehicle across the axle. So you will have almost no tongue weight when using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1. You will simply need to account for the towing weight of the 545 lb # RM-2050-1 along with the 2,932 lbs curb weight of your 2007 Toyota Prius. Your 2017 Toyota Sienna has a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, so you can use the # RM-2050-1 and be just under your...

• 7-Way Trailer Connector Recommendation for 2016 Subaru Outback
  I'd be happy to help you with that. You'd need to begin with a trailer taillight converter harness like part # 118467. How to proceed from there will depend on if your trailer is equipped with electric brakes. If it is not, all you'd need is the 4 pole to 7-way adapter, part # 37185 which would permanently install on the rear of the vehicle. The adapter plugs into the 4-pole provided by the # 118467 and has 3 additional wire leads. The white wire grounds to the vehicle frame or chassis....

• Can Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender be Used for Towing Travel Trailer

This is compatible with any 2 inch hitch receiver and will move the receiver opening 7-3/4 inches out from your trailer hitch. Please note that the use of this or any similar hitch adapter is going to reduce the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50%. For example, if the trailer hitch on...

• Using Hitch Extender to Increase Turning Radius of V-Nose Trailer Towed Behind RV
  The first thing you'll want to do is confirm the tongue weight of your trailer. I'll link you to an FAQ article that explains how to do this. You CAN use an extender, see link, but keep in mind an extender will lower the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. The tongue weight capacity represents the maximum amount of downward force that can safely be exerted on your hitch. If the trailer tongue weight is less than half the tongue weight capacity of the hitch, you can use...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Toyota Sienna XLE
  For your 2016 Toyota Sienna XLE I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C13105. This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver. If you plan on doing some towing with the hitch the recommended ball mount is # C45230. It has a 2-1/2 inch rise and 3-3/4 inch drop. For a 2 inch ball I recommend # 40038. For a 2-5/16 inch ball I recommend # C40007. And for a hitch pin I recommend the classic # PC3. If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use...

• What is Needed to Tow Safely With a 2011 Toyota Sienna XLE?
  Happy to see that safety is important enough that you'd ask, and the answer is no, you do not need any additional equipment such as engine coolant in order to tow safely with your 2011 Toyota Sienna. Now, that does not necessarily mean something like a transmission cooler is a bad idea, as it will stop your Sienna from working quite so hard, but it is not necessary. What you will need, however, is a hitch, and the Curt # C13105 has a 2" x 2" opening with a max tongue weight of 350 lbs...

• Curt Ball Mount Recommendation that Has 2-3/8 inches Rise and 3-5/8 inches Drop
  We actually used to carry that part number but just discontinued it since it's no longer available. We do have similar ball mounts though. For almost an exact match we have the part # C45230 that has the same 2-3/8 inch rise and 3-5/8 inch drop. Only difference is the back of the ball mount shank is angled which makes for easier insertion into a hitch.

• Recommended Trailer Receiver Hitch for 2004 Dodge Ram 1500
  The correct hitch for your truck will depend on what capacity you were needing. For instance, if you'll be towing trailers weighing less than 6000 lbs, a Class III hitch like the # 75662 would be ideal. The hitch would bolt to the existing crossmember and the rear bumper. For a heaver trailer (assuming your truck has the necessary capacity), a Class IV hitch like # 14361 would work well. The Curt # C15409 you referenced is only a fit for trucks already equipped with the factory hitch. You...

• Towing Package for 2018 Mazda CX-5
  We can help you with setting up your CX-5 for towing your utility trailer. I checked the CX-5 specs in the owner's manual and for a small utility trailer, loaded with mulch for example, you'll be fine. The basic items you'll need are the hitch, a ball mount and hitch ball and a wiring harness if the trailer has built-in lights. If the trailer does not have lights you do not need wiring. You might also want some towing mirrors. Your CX-5 can be fitted with either of two hitch sizes, either...

• Parts Needed to Tow Scamp Trailer with 2015 Honda CR-V
  I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2015 Honda CR-V and it lists a maximum trailer weight of 1,500 pounds. Based on my research the 13 foot Scamp trailers can weigh between 1,300 and 1,600 pounds. Since this range does push and potentially exceed the limits of your CR-V I highly recommend verifying the camper's GVWR, which is the most the trailer can weigh when fully loaded, with the Scamp dealer before making a purchase. If you find that the camper will...

• Capacity of Curt Class III # C13119 Trailer Hitch Versus Capacities of 2012 Honda CR-V
  For a 2012 Honda CRV, you'd want to use the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13119. The Curt # 13555 fits 2007-2011 CRV models only, and wouldn't be a fit for your 2012 model. The hitch itself carries a 3500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight capacity, but these capacities will be limited by the capacities of the vehicle itself, since the capacities of your CRV are lower. You'll want to abide by the capacity of the lowest rated component. According to Honda, the maximum towing capacity of the...
