Diagram showing dimensions

Note: Designed for flat towing only. Do not use to tow a trailer.

Many tow systems require some sort of hitch accessory to either raise or lower your tow bar so that it sits level. To determine if your setup needs an adapter, hook the tow bar up to your rv and towed car and measure to see how close to level it is. The "safe zone" for a motor-home-mounted tow bar ranges from 3 inches above level to 3 inches below. This high-low adapter can provide you with the necessary drop or rise to achieve a safe and level tow bar setup.

Hitch works great. It is on the back of my trailer and keeps my bike rack from bottoming out.

@John Thanks for the update!


by:

Quality hitch adapter, shipped quickly with UPS at no additional cost and at the lowest cost researched. Planned uses: Motorhome to toad leveling hitch connection and pickup truck front hitch to snow plow connection.



by:

Solid. Great powder coat. Will last yea rs.



by:

There was a seven inch difference in height from the motor home to the towed vehicle. The Curt High-Low Adapter is just the right product to raise my tow bar. Now it is nearly level and well within the three inches high or low to meet the base plate on the towed vehicle. It is heavy with a nice finish and should give years of use.



by:

Great product at a great price. Love etrailers videos’

No issues….paint still looks great after pulling my jeep over 6,000 miles!



by:

Just what i needed for my prodject. thanks etrailer



by:

Used the 2" Curt adapter with a 6" drop on the back of a Winnebago View to level out the two bar used to tow a Buick Envision. Worked great for the past 12,000+ miles.



by:

I searched around a lot for this drop hitch. E-tailer definitely had the best value. Looks like a solid quality product. Very quick delivery. Overall very satisfied with the company and the product.



by:

This product did not work for me. I have a Honda CRV that I tow behind a Fleetwood Bounder and after using once it was clear that the 6 inch drop was not enough to level out the tow bar. So I searched the internet and found a 9 inch drop which allows the tow bar to be level behind the Bounder. Because the 6 inch drop adapter had been used and the finish scratched up I was then unable to return it to etrailer. Measure carefully before you buy.



by:

It looks like a double hitch receiver but it's a single I returned it. Cost me 27 bucks and I decided to buy a roadmaster instead.



by:

Good communication, good product, fast shipping



by:

Great product, fast delivery.



by:

Order arrived quickly. Very easy process in purchasing products



by:

Perfect!!! Dropped my bike rack 6'' so makes loading easier in my lifted Ram!



by:

Works perfectly



by:

Thank you for the speedy delivery.
I
like all of the information you give about who processed order and tracking.
Very informative. Keep up the good work.
Thank you



by:

The holes are not drilled correctly and my hitch pin does not go through. My Blue Ox adaptor works fine but is 10” and I need a 6” for a different Toad. This is the second Curt adaptor to have this issue.



by:

Team,
I am using this to elevate my Saris
bike rack. My Honda CR-V does not have great clearance & this solved my problem. Thank you.



by:

I ordered this adapter on a Sunday, it was shipped the same day. Arrived on Wednesday-great service.
I bought a new SUV with a hitch that is 6 inches higher than the one on my car. I use it for a bike rack which made it way too high for me to install the rack or the bike. This adapter lowered it to a perfect hight.



by:

Etrailer provides excellent products and service!



by:

It felt rock solid. I will use it with the Benton Basic Cargo Hauler. When once inserted the amount of back and forth play was about the same as only using the cars hitch. All the play is in the factory hitch.



by:

This is the perfect hi/low adapter for my motorcycle hitch mounted carrier! It gives me the added height while still offering awesome weight ratings to ensure I am not anywhere close to maxing out my setup. The shipping was very fast and the adapter was exactly as advertised/described. Fits perfectly!

  • Recommended Adjustable Ball Mount w/ 6" Rise for a Motorcycle Carrier
    What you read was true in most cases but you do not need an adapter. What you need is the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount item # 325-GH-304. This has four stacked 2" receivers that will allow you to mount your motorcycle carrier and not lose any of your hitches capacity. The Gen-Y item # 325-GH-304 has a tongue weight capacity of 1,500 lbs and will give you a rise up to 7-1/2". The Curt High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars item # C26FV you were looking at can only be used...

  • Trailer Hitch For 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan Mobility Van
    Hello Xiomara, thanks for reaching out. It may be possible to add a hitch to your modified Dodge Grand Caravan. For the 2016 model, the correct hitch is the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e98854. Generally, the vehicle being lifted would not be a factor in hitch fitment, unless supports were added in the location the hitch installs. I suggest you look over the diagrams in the instructions as well as our install video which are both linked below. Make sure there are no obstructions on the frame...

  • Does Curt High Low Adapter part # C26FV Have a Tongue Weight Rating
    Hey Eric, since Curt designed the high low adapter part # C26FV for flat towing vehicles only it was never tested for a tongue weight rating and therefore it doesn't actually have one. Instead we have the Roadmaster part # RM-048-6 which also has a 6 inch rise/drop but has a tongue weight rating of 400 lbs. You can't tow a trailer with this but you could use a hitch cargo carrier or a bike rack.

  • Can I Upgrade a 8,000 lbs Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch to 10,000 lbs or 12,000 lbs?
    Hey Zach, welcome back! You can indeed swap out the spring bars. The head on the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems, like your 8K item # FA92-00-0800, is the same for the 6,000 lbs - 12,000 lbs rated systems. To upgrade to 10,000 lbs, you'll need the 1,000 lbs Replacement Trunnion Spring Bars item # FA92-01-1099. To upgrade to 12,000 lbs, you'll need the 1,200 lbs Replacement Trunnion Spring Bars item # FA92-01-1299. You'll also want to make sure your hitch ball is rated for the...

  • Will The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar e74ZR Fit Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate RM-523193-5
    Hi Chris! The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates - RV Mount - 6,000 lbs # e74ZR will definitely work with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate # RM-523193-5 you have on your 2019 Chevy Equinox. So you are good to go there. I would definitely recommend getting a high low adapter though. You want the RV's hitch to be within 3" of the base plate connections, so a 6" height difference between the two is going to be too much to tow safely. With that...

  • What Hitch Riser Would Work With Trailer Hitch Receiver On 2023 VW Taos To Carry Cargo Rack?
    When we installed the Curt Receiver # C38JR we measured the inside height of the receiver at 12" where the Draw-Tite Receiver # DT79GR measured at 11-1/2". The Adapter # C26FV you found is only rated for use with tow bars as it was not designed to support tongue weight more than the weight of the tow bar. We do have the 20x48 Reese Cargo Carrier # 6502 which you can see raises the platform above the receiver shank which will give you a better height on the tray and decrease the chances...

  • Does Curt High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars Have a Tongue Weight Rating
    The Curt High-Low Adapter # C26FV actually doesn't have a tongue weight rating because it is only designed to handle the tongue weight of a tow bar. Aside from that it will pull up to 7,500 lbs of weight behind your RV for a flat towing setup which is why Curt doesn't have a tongue weight listed.

  • Can There Be Height Difference Between RV Hitch And Toad For Curt Seeker Tow Bar?
    Yes, Greg, and I’m glad you asked. For the Seeker tow bar # C32HB, Curt specifies no more than a 3-inch height difference between the RV’s hitch receiver and the base plate tabs. If you’re outside that range, you’ll need a high-low adapter like # C26FV to level things out. Running unlevel can stress the arms and wear them out prematurely. Do you know the receiver height on your Class A? I can help you pick the right adapter.
