• Getting the Correct Parts to Tow a Trailer
  If I'm understanding you correctly the answer is yes you can. Your Explorer has a Class III trailer hitch receiver that measures 2 inches on the inside. This means it must have a Class III ball mount that fits into it to tow a trailer, like part # C45030. I've linked all of our ball mounts that'll fit to this page. On the other side the trailer has a coupler that fits onto the hitch ball. With a trailer that small it's probably a 1-7/8 inch ball. It could be a 2 inch or even a 50 millimeter...

• Factors to Consider When Picking Out Length of Ball Mount
  I would say the shorter you can go without any turning clearance issues will be the safest and best option. The length of the ball mount doesn't typically play a huge factor in ride quality or anything but we have longer ball mounts for trailers that are wider at the nose of the trailer to help get a little more clearance for turning. In theory a longer ball mount would put more leverage on the hitch in terms of tongue weight but most of the time it's not something that's really noticed...

• Can a Ball Mount Receiver Be Flipped Upside Down To Gain Additional Height For Leveling a Trailer?
  Yes, if you are talking about using a ball mount like the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45030.

• Domestically Manufactured Hitch for 2016 Ram ProMaster 1500
  Draw-Tite manufactures their receiver hitches in Mexico. If you'd prefer something manufactured in the USA, Curt offers a similar hitch as part # C13295.

• Recommended Ball Mount and 2 Inch Trailer Ball for 2015 Toyota Tundra
  Given the parameters you mentioned, it sounds like the Curt # C45030 would be ideal. The ball mount measures 7-5/8 inches long, measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hole where the ball would install. The ball mount is for a 2 inch receiver, offers 2-1/4 inches of drop or 1 inch of rise. For a 2 inch ball, I'd recommend the # 63845. If you need a pin and clip, use # PC3 or # e98882 for a stainless steel locking hitch pin.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Toyota Tacoma
  The Curt Class III trailer hitch, part # C13264 is the only hitch we offer that's a fit for your 2016 Tacoma. The Draw-Tite Class III, part # 75236 is a fit for the 2015 Tacoma, and because the 2016 is a brand new model, the fit didn't carry over to the new model year. My Curt representative tells me that when the hitch is installed, the front face of the receiver will be recessed under the rear bumper by about 2 inches, as you can see in the diagram I've edited for you.

• Parts Needed to Tow 1,500 Pound Trailer with 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
  The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13206 that you referenced features a 4,000 pound towing weight capacity so it's more than capable of pulling a 1,500 pound trailer. This trailer weight sits well below its limits. I also took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2017 Subaru Outback and it lists a towing capacity of 2,700 pounds as long as the trailer is equipped with brakes. If the trailer doesn't have brakes the towing capacity drops to 1,000 pounds....

• Draw-Tite or Curt Ball Mount With 1 Inch Rise for 2017 Subaru Forester
  For your 2017 Subaru Forester, between the Curt Ball Mount # C45030 and Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC2, I recommend the Convert-A-Ball # AMSC2. I like the Convert-A-Ball because it is longer by about 1-7/8 inch, so you have a bit of extra clearance. That can come in handy with your Forester when towing with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13144, which is recessed under the bumper. The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC2 will work with the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19260, you can lock it...

• Should Trailer Be Loaded or Unloaded When Measuring For Correct Ball Mount Rise/Drop
  You can measure your trailer's coupler height with the trailer loaded or unloaded. The travel in the trailer's suspension will not have a significant impact on the trailer's coupler height. When measuring the coupler height, the trailer jack will be supporting the trailer and holding it level regardless of the trailer's load. I have attached a help article on measuring for the correct ball mount for you.
