• Can Curt Class III Ball Mount # C45056 Be Used in Rise Position
  I spoke with my contact at Curt regarding the Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2 Inch Ball # C45056 referenced in your question. He did state that the ball mount can be used in the rise position, which will indeed provide a 2 inch rise. The issue with this particular model is that the hitch ball will come already torqued from the factory. You can actually remove the ball so you can flip it over to use in the rise position. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that...

• Ball Mount for Trailer that Sits 4-1/2 Inches Under Hitch
  Your best solution is going to be getting a ball mount with a 4 inch drop like # C45056. Unfortunately, we don't have one with a 4-1/2 inch and all of them with a 5 inch drop will not fit a Class III trailer hitch receiver. In reality the 1/2 inch of difference you'll have won't make a large impact. You just want the trailer to be as level as you can get it.

• Recommended Drop or Rise Tolerance
  Good Question! It is okay to have a little plus or minus you just don't want the tongue pointed too far either way. In your case I would use the 2" since we know it will have the trailer sitting dead level which is optimal. The Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2" Ball - 4" Drop - 2" Rise - 7,500 lbs part # C45056 will be perfect. This helps to ensure that the trailer pushes and pulls flat on the truck rather than pushing up or pulling down when braking.

• Comparing The Curt C45056 And C45154 Ball Mounts
  The difference between the # C45056 and the # C45154 is that the # C45154 is a fusion ball mount. Meaning the ball is permanent and can not be removed from the draw bar. The # C45056 has a removable ball. This allows it to be used in either the drop or rise position. Also, if you ever had a need to swap it out for a 1-7/8" or 2-5/16" ball you will be able to do so. Other than that they are virtually identical with a 7.5K capacity. If you will only ever be towing one horse trailer that uses...

• Difference Between Standard and Fusion 2" Curt Hitch Ball Mounts
  The Curt Class III Ball Mount # C45056 comes with a standard 2" hitch ball that can be removed and used in the drop or rise position with the ball mount while the Curt Fusion Ball Mount # C45154 has the 2" hitch ball welded to the platform so it can only be used in the drop position. The Fusion looks a little cleaner but it does lose that rise position so I recommend going with the standard # C45056 just in case you ever need to remove the hitch ball and reinstall it on the other side...

  There unfortunately is not a hitch available for your 2022 Honda CR-V that does not require some trimming of the fascia. But you don't need to fear trimming the fascia to install a hitch.

• Recommended 2" Rise Ball Mount For 2018 Subaru Forester W/ Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver 76182
  Since your trailer coupler is 1-1/4" higher than the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76182 on your 2018 Subaru Forester I recommend going with a 2" rise ball mount like the Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2" Ball - 4" Drop - 2" Rise - 7,500 lbs # C45056 which comes with a 2" hitch ball and hitch pin and clip. Since the rear of your Subaru will likely sag a bit with the trailer connected, adding the extra 3/4" will be better to make the trailer level when it is hitched. I included a...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 1994 GMC Yukon
  Since you referenced 3 trailer hitches that fit your son's 1994 GMC Yukon I believe you are referring to the Curt options. The main difference between all 3 options is that each one has different gross towing weight (GTW) and tongue weight (TW) weight ratings: Curt Class III - # C13121 500 lbs TW/5,000 lbs GTW Curt Class III - # C13029 600 lbs TW/6,000 lbs GTW Curt Class IV - # C14029 1,000 lbs TW/10,000 lbs GTW When I looked up the max trailer weight rating for a '94 Yukon it looked...

• Will Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2023 Honda CR-V Also Fit Hybrid
  Yes, the trailer hitch receivers for the 2023 Honda CR-V fit the hybrid model as well. There are no differences for the hybrid hitch since all of the available options fit all models. If I were to recommend one it would be the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848. I like the etrailer hitch because of the matte black powder coat finish. This gives it an OEM look and does a better job hiding inevitable dirt and dings. If the finish isn't a big deal to you, I would choose whichever has...

• Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver fir 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid
