Ask the Experts about this MaxxTow Ball Mounts

Do you have a question about this Ball Mount?

• How To Tow A Trailer Without Measuring for Rise/Drop
  
• The only true way to determine what ball mount you need is to measure from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube on the vehicle and then subtract the difference from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer while level. However, if you do not have access to the trailer then the best option for you is an adjustable ball mount as this will not only more than likely allow you to tow your boat trailer level without measuring beforehand but will also accommodate...

• Comparing 6,000 lb Curt Adjustable Style Ball Mount to Maxxtow 5,000 lb Adjustable Options
  
• The Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 5-1/4" Rise, 6-3/4" Drop - 6,000 lbs # C45901 has a shipping weight of 15 lbs whereas the MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 10" Drop, 8" Rise - 5,000 lbs # MT70067 has more adjustability but less capacity and has a shipping weight of 14 lbs.

• Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for MaxxTow Adjustable Ball Mount # MT70067
  
• The clearances are actually pretty tight between the adjustable channel, shank, and pins of the MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount # MT70067 which means it would move a little bit but would not be a super obnoxious rattle. To get rid of the movement between the hitch and the shank of this ball mount though we have the # 63232 which would work well. This doubles as a hitch lock too.

• Determining Correct Ball Mount for 2007 Honda Odyssey to Tow Pop Up Camper
  
• The way to determine the correct amount of rise (or drop) needed to tow a trailer level there are a couple of measurements needed. First you would measure from the ground up to the top of the receiver opening on the trailer hitch. Then, with the trailer level, measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the trailer is higher the difference is the amount of rise you will need. And if the vehicle is higher the difference is the amount of drop you would need. On the 2007 Honda...

• Dimensions of the Bolt Holes to Mount the Replacement 2" Receiver # C45802
  
• The distance between the bolt holes for the Replacement 2" Receiver for Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount # C45802 is 2-5/8" on center. Since that same measurement for the MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount # MT70067 is 1-1/2" on center (3" for every other bolt hole) they are not compatible with each other. This receiver is actually the replacement for the Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount # D900 so for the shank you will need part # C45059 instead.

• Best Towing Setup for a 2018 Volvo XC90
  
• For your 2018 Volvo XC90, I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76194 because this trailer hitch unlike the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13233 will not require any drilling into the frame which is not exactly something most want to do on a brand new vehicle. The install process will be a bit more challenging but the limited vehicle modifications makes it well worth your while. We also have an install video of this hitch which I have attached for...

• Ballmount Rise/Drop Needed for Towing Rental Car Dolly with 2015 Dodge Charger
  
• The closer you can get the hitch ball height to the level height of the trailer (tow dolly in your case), the better. Towing the trailer nose up or down can cause trailer sway, which you'll want to avoid. For best results, you'll want to get the coupler and ball height within 1-1/2 to 2 inches, and it's better to have the coupler slightly lower than the trailer ball than vice versa. A ballmount with a 7-inch rise like # C45338 would put you right where you need to be, height wise. If...

• Recommended Hitch Receiver and Ball Mount for John Deere X590 to Tow Log Splitter
  
• For your John Deere x590, I recommend the Reese Towpower 3-Way ATV Hitch w/ Ball Mount Adapter - 2,000 lbs # RP7065100. This will give you a 2 inch receiver that will allow you to use a ball mount like # C45112 in the rise position to get you at the right height for your hitch ball and coupler to meet. This will allow your current jack to work and save your back. I've attached an article to assist with finding the correct ball mount for your trailer. Then you will just need the matching...

• Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2017 Kia Sedona LX to Tow a Pop-up Camper
  
• For a fixed ball mount you really do need to know the height difference between the top of the receiver opening on the hitch and the distance from the ground to the bottom of the coupler in order to get a ball mount with the right amount of rise or drop to tow the trailer level. You can get around that by instead using an adjustable ball mount such as # MT70067. This ball mount offers up to an 8 inch rise or 10 inch drop. It is rated for 5,000 pounds gross trailer weight (so it will...

• What is the Towing Capacity of a 2015 Jeep Cherokee
  
• If you are ever in doubt about the towing capacity of the vehicle then there is a sure fire way to tell and you will not need to know any of the options the vehicle is equipped with in order to do so. This process includes opening the driver door and looking for a white sticker. This sticker will have a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) figure. If you take the GVWR and subtract that from the GCWR then that will give you the maximum gross trailer...

• Rise or Drop of Ball Mount Needed for 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
  
• There is no specific 'best' rise or length of ball mount for a given vehicle. Since the hitch and coupler height of every vehicle and every trailer is different, you'll need to take some measurements. To determine the rise/drop of ball mount needed, you'd want to measure the distance from the inside top of the hitch receiver tube to the ground. Then with the trailer level, measure the distance from the underside of the trailer coupler to the ground. The difference between the measurements...

• Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation that Can be Used with Cruisemaster DO35 Coupler
  
• Since the Cruisemaster DO35 requires a ball mount platform with a 1 inch diameter ball hole you'd need an adjustable ball mount that uses a traditional style of ball mount platform like the MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount # MT70067 which would work well. This can do up to 10 inches of drop or 8 inches of rise. I attached a review video for this ball mount for you to check out as well.

• Recommended Ball Mount for 2013 Honda Pilot
  
• On average, the coupler height of a trailer that is jacked up so that it is level is between 17-19 inches high. To determine the rise or drop your ballmount needs, jack the trailer so that the frame is level to the ground. Measure from the underside of the coupler down to the ground. Then measure from the top inside edge of the receiver opening to the ground. The difference between these two measurements is the rise or drop needed. If the receiver height of the Pilot is greater than...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Ford Focus Behind Different RVs
  
• Most state laws require supplemental braking on a vehicle that is being flat towed and they do check. The fines are steep so you are better off getting one not to mention it really is the safest approach. We can save you money in other areas of a flat towing set up to offset the cost of a braking system. First you will need base plates for the 2014 Ford Focus. Blue Ox base plates # BX2633 fit non-ST models that do not have adaptive cruise control. For ST models use # BX2640. For a...

• Coupler Height of Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2000-1
  
• On Roadmaster tow dolly # RM-2000-1 the ball height is 18 inches. I have included a picture showing this for you. If you need a ball mount with the right rise or drop I recommend using an adjustable ball mount. I have included a link to the adjustable ball mounts we carry. Ball mount # MT70067 for example is rated for 5,000 pounds and offers up to 8 inches of rise of 10 inches of drop. For a 2 inch ball that will fit the ball mount I recommend # 63845 which is a basic chrome ball.

• Can a Trailer Ride With the Tongue at an Upward or Downward Angle
  
• Yes, a trailer that is nose up can cause big problems. A level trailer is ideal and worth working toward for safety. The good news is that you can get the trailer almost exactly level with switching ball mounts. This is where an adjustable ball mount like MaxxTow # 70067 comes in handy. If you are unable to achieve level even with an adjustable ball mount, it is better for the trailer to be slightly nose down so long as the tongue weight capacity of the hitch and vehicle is not exceeded....

• Recommended Ball Mount for 2015 Ford Escape OEM Hitch

• Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2014 Audi Q5 with Factory Trailer Hitch
  
• I prefer the S8 myself. On your 2014 Audi Q5 it is likely going to come with a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. This means that it is a Class III or IV trailer hitch and you can use any ball mount you want. You will want one that has the proper rise or drop needed to tow the trailer level. I have included a link to our help article that shows how to measure to get a ball mount with the right rise or drop. I have also included a link to our fixed ball mount main page. Another option is...

• Ball Mount to Tow a Jayco Trailer with Coupler 16 Inches From Ground with a 2012 Audi Q7
  
• We have yet to install Curt trailer hitch # 13220 on a 2012 Audi Q7 but on another vehicle that uses this same hitch it measured 18-1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver opening. In that case you would use a ball mount with a 2-1/2 inch drop, or as close to that as possible, for a level coupler height of 16 inches. The tongue weight of the trailer will pull down some at the ball so I recommend a ball mount with a 2 inch drop such as # 2923 or a model with a 2-1/4 inch...

• How Close Does Trailer Ball Height Need to be to the Height of the Trailer Coupler
  
• The trick here is to get as close as possible. If you are talking about less than 2 inches or so, there is nothing to worry about. Having the trailer tongue a bit too high is preferable to it being too low. You may be a good candidate for an adjustable ball mount. I would recommend the MaxxTow Adjustable Ball Mount, part # MT70067 which adjusts between a 10 inch drop to a 8 inch rise. I am including a link to a demonstration video showing the features of the # MT70067 ballmount,...

• Recommended Ball Mount and Hitch Ball for European Trailers

An American style ball mount will work fine when we pair it with a 50mm Hitch Ball on a local trailer in Germany as long as you have a U.S. style trailer hitch on your vehicle with a 2 inch by 2 inch receiver. The look is different, but the function is the same. I'd suggest the MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount, # MT70067. This will give you up to a 10 inch drop or a 8 inch rise to allow you to...

• Will a Sway-Control Bracket Work with the MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount Part # MT70067
  
• Yes, the Reese Sway-Control Bracket part # RP26003 will work with the MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount part # MT70067. The only thing I suggest is using a hitch ball with an extended shank like part # 40038 for 2" or part # C40007 for 2-5/16". If you are also looking for the friction sway bar to attach to this bracket then I recommend the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit part # 83660.

• Can a High/Low Adapter be Used to Tow Pintle Hook Trailer With Standard 2-Inch Hitch
  
• Since the height of your pintle-equipped military trailer is so much greater than the height of the hitch on your Honda Pilot (possibly as much as 2 feet) I am not sure there is any way to keep the trailer level when hitched. We do not offer an adapter that can make up this substantial height difference. I suggest you check your Honda Pilot owners manual to confirm the vehicle tow rating. Tow ratings can vary by model year and based on the specific equipment set in your Pilot. You want...
