• Recommended Drawbar For 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan With Hidden Hitch 1-1/4 Receiver Installed
  I reached out to my contact at Hidden hitch and the trailer hitch you have on your 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan is the now discontinued Hidden hitch 36320. For that hitch the correct ball mount with 5" rise is the Curt Class II Drawbar - 5" Rise - 9-5/8" Long - 3,500 lbs # C45014 which is 9-5/8" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole meaning it will clear your bumper without issue. For a compatible hitch ball you will want 1-7/8" hitch ball # A-80 or 2"...

• Recommendation for 1-1/4 Inch Ball Mount with 8 Inch Rise
  Based on the measurements you took on your trailer hitch and trailer coupler, you will technically need a ball mount that features a rise of around 8-1/2 inches for a completely level setup. Between the two ball mount options you mentioned, the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45014 will be the better option, as it provides a greater 5 inch rise. The highest rise ball mount we currently have available that will be compatible with your existing 1-1/4 inch Curt trailer hitch receiver is the Curt...

• Recommended Hitch And Wiring For A 2021 Ford EcoSport Towing A Small Trailer
  To get your 2021 Ford EcoSport set up to tow a small trailer, I recommend starting with the Curt # C12188. This is a very quick and easy install and shouldn't take more than about 30 minutes to complete. This is an American made hitch that will give you a Class II capacity ( 3,500 pounds towing and 350 pounds of tongue weight), but you will need to check your owner's manual for your vehicle capacities. I do need to mention that the lower fascia panel on 2.0L models will need to be removed...

• Ground Clearance on a 2020 Hyundai Sonata w/ the Draw-Tite DT74MR Hitch Receiver
  I just spoke with my rep at Draw-Tite the bottom of the 1 1/4" receiver for the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" item # DT74MR sits 5 1/2" off of the ground. I have attached a picture of the hitch installed on a Hyundai Sonata. The receiver extends to the trim but not past the bumper. I recommend using the Curt Class II Drawbar - 5" Rise - 9-5/8" Long item # C45014 to make sure you have enough clearance to get past your Sonata's bumper. If you...

• Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2014 Subaru Forester with a Curt Hitch # C12100
  It sounds like you have determined the correct amount of rise you would need in order for you to tow your trailer level. But just for good measure I attached a link to the right that details how to pick the correct rise/drop ball mount for a setup. The part # 3594 that you referenced would fit your hitch and would give you the correct amount of rise, but since this ball mount is designed for Class I hitches it will have a lower capacity than Class II ball mounts. So as long as your trailer...

• Curt Ball Mount for 1-1/4 inch Hitch with More Rise and Length than C45520
  The two Curt ball mounts you mentioned of part # C45014 and # C45015 are both options that would give you additional rise with the # C45015 being a few inches longer as well than compared to the # C45520 that you have now. Now these options only can be used on Class II hitches whereas the # C45520 can fit Class I or Class II so you'd need to verify that with the hitch of your vehicle. The reason for this is that the Class I hitches are lower in capacity so they can be only used with the...

• Will Curt Drawbar Clear Bumper On 2004 Chrysler Town And Country
  There is an easy way to make sure you clear the bumper on your 2004 Chrysler Town and Country. You will need a tape measure and a straight edge like a yardstick or a dowel. Hold the straight edge vertically against the rear bumper, making sure it extends below the hitch opening. Then just measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the straight edge. This gives you the distance you need to clear the bumper. The Curt Class Drawbar, part # C45014, measures 9-5/8 inches from the center...

• How Much Does the Curt Class II Drawbar 5" Rise Weigh
  The Curt Class II Drawbar part # C45014 weighs about 7 lbs. We don't offer any aluminum ball mounts for a 1-1/4" trailer hitch so most ball mounts for this size will be around the same weight. The greater rise/drop built in, the greater the drop will be.

• Is there a Euro Style Ball Mount with a 5 Inch Rise for a 2016.5 Mazda CX-5
  There are only a handful of Euro style ball mounts and like you said none of them have the amount of rise you need to tow the trailer level with your 2016.5 Mazda CX-5. The best option is to go with the regular ball mount # C45014 and a properly sized ball for the trailer coupler. If the coupler takes a 1-7/8 inch ball use # A-80. For a 2 inch ball use # A-82.

• Ball Mount Needed with a 5 inch Rise for Use with a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas
  A high-low adapter like the Roadmaster Adapter # RM-076 that you referenced is designed for use with a flat towing setup, but I do have a solution for you to tow your trailer level with your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. If the 10-1/2 inch measurement that you took of the hitch receiver on your Atlas is from the ground to the top of the inside of your 2 inch receiver, like the Curt # C13366, then you will need a ball mount that has at least a 5 inch rise as rise and drop measurements typically...

• Does Curt Trailer Hitch # C45014 Come with Hitch Pin
  The Curt hitch part # C45014 does not normally come with a hitch pin. I realize that seems odd since it does come with a ball mount but you'd need to provide either a hitch pin or hitch lock. For a hitch pin you'd want the part # F-4 or for a lock part # e98879.

• What is Included with Trailer Hitch # C11356 for a 2016 Mazda 6
  The recommended ball mount for Curt trailer hitch receiver, part # C11356, is 9-3/8 inches long with 2-5/8 inches of rise or 3-1/4 inches of drop. It's part # C45016. If you prefer a draw bar with 5 inches of rise use part # C45014. The hitch ball is not included so you can use part # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch. They'll fit both the included and the other draw bar I mentioned and # F-4 is the pin and clip that fits. You also need a wiring harness to power...

• Why Must the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45014 be Used in the Rise Position Only
  I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said the Class II Drawbar, # C45014, has not been tested for use in the drop position. They only test it for the rise position. If you were to use this ball mount in the drop position and it fails, the warranty would be voided and you could be responsible for all damages. If you need a Class II drawbar with a 5 inch drop, I recommend looking at the Draw-Tite Class II Drawbar, # 36078. Keep in mind, most Class I and Class II trailer hitches are only...

• Ball Mount Recommendation for Class I Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on a 2005 Honda Accord Coupe
  Take a look at the picture I have included. If the receiver on the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24787 on your 2005 Honda Accord has that tab behind the hitch pin hole then the Class II ball mount # C45014 will not fit. But you can use # C45025 which has the same rise and is Class I compatible. Clearing the rear bumper should not be an issue. Ball mount # C45025 measures 11-1/4 inches long from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. For a compatible 1-7/8 inch ball...

  With Class I hitches like the Curt part # C45014 that you have for your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser you have to use the recommended ball mount from the hitch manufacturer.

• Recommended Ball Mount to Tow Trailer with 2016 Mazda CX-5
  When choosing the correct rise or drop for a ball mount to use on your 2016 Mazda CX-5, you will just need to take two measurements, which it appears have already been taken based on the information you provided in your question. One measurement from the ground to the top of the trailer hitch receiver on your vehicle and another from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer. If U-Haul is stating an ideal hitch ball height of 19 inches, then I am assuming on their trailer there...
