• Recommended Ball Mount for a 2010 Toyota RAV4 With Factory Towing Package
  For your 2010 Toyota RAV4 Factory Hitch, you'll want about a 3 inch rise. You can confirm this by measuring from the ground to the top of the trailer hitch, and measuring from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. Then, subtract the higher number from the lower number. It does sound like you've gotten this about right though. If yours is a 1-1/4 inch hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Drawbar, part # 36063. This will give you a correct, 3 inch rise with a 3/4 inch ball hole diameter....

• Using a 36078 Class II Drop Drawbar as a Rise Instead of a Drop
  The drawbar you mentioned is not intended to be used in the rise position and would only create a 3-1/2 inch rise. We do carry a 5 inch and a 3-1/8 inch rise drawbar (see links below) that will fit the Class II hitch. These drawbars all have a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs and a towing capacity of 3500 lbs. Keep in mind that if you need a significantly higher or lower drawbar to tow (you are not able to use the manufacturer's recommended drawbar for the hitch), you will void the manufacturer's...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendations for a 2008 Buick Lucerne Base Model, Special Edition, or Super
  In order to determine if your 2008 Buick Lucerne is a standard model CXL or a special edition, there are a couple of things you can do. If the driver seat is a power memory seat that remembers your settings and your tires are size 245/50R18, then you have a special edition. But the definitive way to determine the trim level of your Lucerne is to contact a local dealer and have them run the VIN number of the car and they will be able to tell you for sure which one you have.

• Recommend Hitch and Wiring For 1997 Toyota Tacoma
  I do have an option for you but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12130 is designed to fit certain years of the Lincoln Town Cars and Mercury Grand Marquis so it will not fit the Toyota. The part # 36063 the sticker references is a ball mount that is recommended for use with the hitch determined by Draw-Tite.

• Ball Mount Recommendation for Hitch for a 1996 Lincoln Town Car
  The hitch part # 36116 is a Class II hitch that has the part # 36063 as the recommended ball mount which has a 3-1/8 inch rise. If there was a Class II hitch compatible ball mount that had a 3-1/4 inch rise available you could use it, but we do not carry one. That being said, the difference between the two sizes would not be hardly noticeable so the 3-1/8 should work just fine. For a 2 inch ball you would need part # 19258, or for a 1-7/8 inch ball part # 19257.

• Correct Ball Mount for a 1995 Buick Riviera
  I am not sure which draw bar you have, but the recommended draw bar for your vehicle and trailer hitch is the Class II Draw bar 3-1/8 inch Rise, part # 36061. None of the hitches or draw bars we carry have tapered receivers or shanks, so the only thing I can think of is that you have a Class 1 hitch and a Class 2 draw bar which are not compatible with each other even though they have the same 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch shank. . The Class 2 shank will not fit in a Class 1 hitch, but a class...

• Trailer Hitch Fit for 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
  The Curt # C13900 multi-fit hitch is a fit for full sized trucks and SUV's as well as some compact trucks and vans, and therefore wouldn't be a good fit for your 2000 Pontiac Bonneville. I'd recommend going with a custom fit hitch like part # C12044 which is a fit for all 2000 Pontiac Bonneville models except for the SLE. If you have a SLE model, use the Draw-Tite # 36309 hitch. If you'll be using the hitch for light duty towing, you'll also need a ball mount like # 36063. For a trailer...

• Can Appearance Panel be Trimmed and Reinstalled After Hitch Installation on 2003 Lincoln Town Car
  A lot of vehicles have those body or appearance panels. On the 2003 Lincoln Town Car it is not structural meaning that it isn't there to help hold the bumper or fascia up. It is basically helping to protect the metal parts above it from the elements. You might be able to reinstall the panel but it would require some extensive trimming and there aren't specific instructions that explain how to do so. Leaving it off is the way I would go. I have linked a video and the instructions to the...

• Recommended Ball Mount Compatible With 1998 Cadillac DeVille
  Based on the confirmed fit trailer hitch receivers we have for your 1998 Cadillac DeVille, I assume you have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.

With this ball mount you can use # 19258 for a 2 inch hitch ball or # 19257 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
