  • Availability Of 1-7/8" and 2" Hitch Ball For Rapid Hitch Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount AM3413
    I have another option for you, but the only Rapid Hitch Adjustable Ball Mount that includes the 1-7/8" and 2" ball you mentioned is the # AM3462 which only has 4" rise or drop. Instead I recommend the purchasing the Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit w/ 2 Zinc Balls - 10" Drop, 11" Rise # AM3413 you were looking at and using the Rapid Hitch Ball Combo with 1-7/8" and 2" Hitch Balls - Chrome-Plated Steel # AM3425 instead of the included 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls.

  • Highest Capacity Trailer Hitch for 2019 Infiniti Q50
    The trailer hitches with the highest capacity for your 2019 Infiniti Q50 is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24931 and the Curt # C11407. These are both class I which has a 2,000 lb towing capacity and 200 lb tongue weight capacity. I should note that since you mentioned the vehicle is rated for 2,000 lbs towing, that would be the limit anyway, as to what you can tow despite the hitch being rated for more. The Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver and will serve your towing needs...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Vehicle Wiring Harness For Trailer Towing With a 2019 Nissan Pathfinder
    When we installed the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98908 on a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder in our shop we ended up with a receiver height of 13" to the inside top of the receiver tube. As all trailers will be different heights for the coupler you will want to measure the coupler height of your trailer to determine the most appropriate ball mount for your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder. I recommend the Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit # AM3462 if you are unsure of what trailers...

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle for 2 Inch Ball Mount in 2-1/2 Inch Receiver with Reducer Sleeve
    The Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit w/ 2 Zinc Balls - 4" Drop or Rise # AM3462 has some moving parts. Because of this there will be some movement noise, but this can be greatly diminished by using an anti-rattle along with your reducer sleeve like # C45405. I recommend the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer III for 2-1/2" Hitch with 2" Adapter # BX88312. This will fit the outside of your 2-1/2 inch receiver and will reduce shank movement on your 2 inch Rapid Hitch ball...

  • Do Appearance Panels Get Re-Installed on 2017 Nissan Rogue When Putting On etrailer Trailer Hitch
    The plastic parts are just "appearance" panels, and won't be re-installed after putting the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch # E98846 on your 2017 Nissan Rogue. These panels do not serve any specific function for your Rogue and as such can be put aside after installing the hitch. As you can see from the accompanying photo of the hitch installed on a '17 Rogue, they don't won't affect the overall appearance of your car (save for someone going underneath it).

    After Speaking to Porsche about this one they agree that measurement is a minimum length. For which I recommend our Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches # C45534 as a great starter hitch for your 2018 Porsche Cayenne. It measures 7.5" for pin hole to ball measurement and includes a 2" ball with standard and locking receiver pins as well.

  • Wiring Harness for 2019 GMC Terrain Without Factory Tow Package
    There is a wiring harness for your 2019 GMC Terrain without the tow package, the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59236. If you are looking to tow you can add a trailer hitch with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76419 for a NON-diesel '19 Terrain, or the Draw-Tite # 76217 if you have a diesel model. I also recommend checking out the Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit w/ 2 Zinc Balls - 4" Drop or Rise Item # AM3462 which gives you up to 4" of rise or drop or # AM3411 which...

  • How to Choose a Ball Mount to Correct for Different Hitch and Trailer Heights
    When the trailer hitch on the vehicle and the coupler on the trailer have different heights you can use a ball mount with the required amount of rise or drop to allow the hitched trailer to remain level. It is important to keep the trailer's frame level when towing for better handling. Since your trailer's coupler is about 4-1/2-inches taller than your hitch receiver you will want to select a ball mount that has about 4-inches of RISE, to bring the hitch ball up to the height of the trailer...

  • Trailer Hitch Ball Mount Recommendations For a 2019 Toyota Highlander
    Your 2019 Toyota Highlander Limited will have a 2" class III receiver like our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98844. When we measured this receiver on a 2019 Highlander in our shop it had a height of 16-1/2" to the top of the inside receiver tube. Without knowing the exact height of your trailer I have a couple recommendations. First our etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 will include 2 separate height ball mounts.

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2011 Honda Odyssey
    There is a trailer hitch that fits your 2011 Honda Odyssey but the Draw-Tite # 75784 you mentioned does not fit. Instead you will need the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 75270 which absolutely does fit your '11 Odyssey and is constructed from welded steel so you were correct that it is extremely strong; so strong in fact that the hitch even comes with a lifetime warranty. I have added a link to a video install of this hitch on an '11 Odyssey for you as well as a link to the written...

To add the use of a 1-7/8" hitch ball you'd need to add the 2-Ball Platform for BulletProof Hitches Adjustable Ball Mounts - 1-7/8" and 2-5/16" Balls # 358178ball.

  • Will Installation of Trailer Wiring Harness on 2013 Infiniti JX35 Take a Long Time
    The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Kit with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56190KIT that fits your 2013 Infiniti JX35 will take a different amount of time for different people, depending on how comfortable they are with wiring, but it is safe to assume that you will need at least hour to install it. One thing that will help reduce the install time is the video we made showing this kit being installed on a '13 JX35, which I have linked for you. This trailer wiring, along with the Draw-Tite...

  • Recommended Ball Mount for 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4
    I did some research on the Toyota OEM ball mount PT228-35161 and it has a 2-3/4 Drop or 1-1/2 inch rise and is rated for 10,000 lbs. We do not have an exact substitute for that ball mount, but a good alternative with some options is the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs # 989900. For a fixed mount ball mount I recommend measuring for level towing with your trailer. I've attached an article to assist. Another option is the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches...

  • Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75758 Fit 2019 Ford Escape SE
    I checked with the manufacturer, and the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75758 does fit your 2019 Ford Escape SE, so long as your Ford does not have the factory Class II Towing Package. If you do have that towing package you will need Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36524 instead, which is a smaller hitch with less capacity. Otherwise, the Draw-Tite # 75758 is a very sturdy hitch with a 2" receiver and 675 lb tongue weight capacity and 4,500 lb towing capacity. It does not require any type...

    It is absolutely possible to add a wiring harness and brake controller to your 2019 Ford Escape, and there are a few parts you will need in order to do this, starting with a 4-way connector. For this, the best option is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118802 because it is the most reliable harness with the highest maximum amperage for your Escape which means it offers the best protection against possible shorts.

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2016 Dodge Durango with 3.6L V6 Engine
    The transmission cooler I recommend for your 2016 Dodge Durango with a 3.6L V6 engine is the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler # D13503 because of how efficient the cooler is. This is a plate-and-fin cooler, which means it uses smaller plates that cover more area than other coolers in order to agitate transmission fluid. Because you cannot over-cool fluids, the rule of thumb with transmission coolers is that size matters so the large 11" wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep Series 8000...

    The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 306-X7257 is a great fit for your 2017 Subaru WRX STI Limited. It is rated for towing up to 3,500 lbs but Subaru does not recommend towing with your vehicle according to the owner's manual.

  • Parts Needed to Tow Trailer With 2012 Subaru Outback 3.6R
    To answer your question about if a 2012 Subaru Outback 3.6R can add a Class III Draw-Tite trailer hitch with a 2" receiver the answer to that is an unequivocal yes! The two Draw-Tite hitches that fit this car are the Draw-Tite # 76227 and # 75673. Of these two hitches I strongly recommend part # 76227 because it does not require drilling to install and also has a hidden crosstube to keep your Outback's appearance clean; the other model does require drilling and has a visible crosstube.
