• Ball Mount For 2002 Toyota Sienna With Curt Hitch C13511 For Towing U-Haul Trailer
  I can help you out with the right ball mount and hitch ball for your 2002 Toyota Sienna so you can tow a U-Haul trailer with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13511. When we installed this hitch on a 2002 Sienna, we found that the distance from the ground to the top of the hitch receiver was 13-1/2 inches; since the bottom of the U-haul coupler is going to be 18-1/2 inches from the ground (that is what they mean when they say "optimal ball height" as that is how far off the ground the...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Ball Mount Rise for U-Haul Trailer Coupler for 2015 Mazda CX-5
  On your 2015 Mazda CX-5, the measurement you need is from the ground to the inside top of the receiver. If you look at the attached video we that measurement listed at 15-1/2 inches so it is different from the 13 inch you referenced. For your 13 inch measurement you will then need a 5 inch rise. I recommend the B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount - 5" Rise, 6" Drop - 10-3/4" Long - 16,000 lbs # BWBMHD30014 or the Curt # C45336 and then you will need the # A-90 hitch ball. The pin and clip #...

• Recommended Parts for Towing Camper Equipped With a 7-Way Connector With 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
  I'd be happy to shed some light on that for you. Let's begin with a hitch, assuming you don't yet have one. I'd go with the Curt Class III # 13364 that you'd looked at. For a connector i would go with the Curt T-Connector # C56331 for the 4-way connector. And if your camper is equipped with brakes you will need a universal 7-way adapter # ETBC7. The Redarc Liberty # RED52VR is a great option. This particular kit comes with a universal wire harness. You'll also need a ball mount like...

• Recommended 4-Way Harness And Ball Mount For Towing a U-Haul Utility Trailer With a 2020 Mazda CX-5
  I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118746 for your 2021 Mazda CX-5. This harness uses factory style connectors to plug into your tail light harness so that you do not have to splice into your tail light wiring. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that you need to operate the tail lights on the U-Haul trailer. With the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902 already installed on your Mazda you should have a receiver height of 13" to the inside top portion of...

• Recommended Ball Mount With 5" Rise Compatible With Friction Sway Control
  I recommend the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 5" Rise, 6-1/8" Drop - 9-3/8" Long - 10,000 lbs # C45336 which has the 5" rise you mentioned you needed, and can be used with friction sway control like the Curt Friction Sway Control for Weight Distribution Systems # 17200 by using the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003. At this time we do not have an adjustable ball mount that is compatible with the # RP26003. The # C45336 has a 1-1/4" ball mounting hole so you will...

• Will a Ball Mount with More Rise Reduce a Vehicle's Sag
  Switching your ball mount to one with a 5 inch rise, like the Curt # C45336, will help level your trailer but it won't take the sag out of your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. The trailer's tongue weight will still be pushing the rear of the vehicle down. To actually eliminate the sag you may be able to load the trailer with less tongue weight however that could cause additional sway if the trailer's tongue weight is then too low. The best solution is to add a weight distribution system. If...

• Can Drop Ball Mount Be Used With Patriot Hitches PH54FR To Get To 16" Total Drop?
  Yes. You can use a drop ball mount like the # C45336 with the Patriot Hitches # PH54FR to get to your 16" drop total. 5" drop ball mounts are very uncommon, so a 6" like mentioned above and raising the receiver in the Patriot mount will still get you where you need to be. The above ball mount also doesn't include a hitch ball so you'll need one of the following as well: 2" # A-90 2-5/16" # A-6

• Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Audi A4 Allroad for Towing 960 lb Travel Trailer
  In addition to the Curt # C11448, EcoHitch offers a hitch for your Allroad A4 that has a 2 inch receiver, part # 306-X7370. This hitch has higher ratings, with a towing capacity of 3500 lbs and a 525 lb tongue weight capacity. The advantage to this hitch is that the receiver tube is removable. Once it's removed, the hitch will not be visible at all. This hitch should be able to handle the weight of the small travel trailer you mentioned, but keep in mind that the towing capacity of the...

• Towing Capacity of Fixed Ball Mounts
  The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" hitches - 8-3/4" Rise - 10" Drop - 8,000 lbs item # AMSC10 that was previously referenced is a superior hitch to the Brophy 10" drop item # BM10. It is a stronger reinforced hitch that has a higher weight capacity of 8,000 lbs over the Brophy which only has a 7,500 lbs limit. The use of the Convert-A-Ball fixed mount item # AMSC10 will not reduce your vehicle, hitch, or hitch balls towing capacity. For a fixed ball mount with a 5" rise I recommend the...

• Ball Mount Recommendation for Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Installed on 2018 Honda CR-V
  When we installed the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76128 on a 2018 Honda CR-V we found that from the ground to the top inside of the hitch receiver measured 13-1/4". This means that if you need the top of the ball at about 18-1/2" then you need a ball mount with about a 2-1/4" rise. If the bottom of your trailer coupler to the ground measured 18-1/2", when level, then that would mean you actually need a rise of 5-1/4". For the 2-1/4" rise I recommend the Curt Fusion Ball Mount # C45155 which...

• How to Choose the Correct Ball Mount for a 2017 Subaru Forester
  In order to choose the correct ball mount you will need to measure from the ground to the top of the inside edge on the vehicle's receiver tube opening and then compare that to the distance from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer while level. The distance between these two measurements will give you the correct amount of rise/drop you will need to look for in a ball mount. For a ball mount with a 5" rise I recommend part # C45336 and for a ball mount with a 6" rise...

• Can Curt Trailer Hitch For 2020 Toyota Sienna Tow 6x12 U-Haul Trailer
  Yes it can; a 6x12 U-Haul trailer weighs 1,920 lbs when empty, so you can load it up to the 3,500 lb capacity of the hitch and your '20 Sienna (I do recommend verifying the towing capacity of your Sienna in your copy of the owner's manual). So you can indeed use the Curt hitch that fits to tow this trailer, which is the following part number: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13343 Along with this hitch, the other things you will need for your 2020 Sienna to tow this trailer are a wiring...

• Is Hitch Ball # A-90 Correct for Curt Ball Mount C45336
  The hitch ball part # A-90 is a correct fit for a 2 inch hitch ball for the Curt ball mount part # C45336, we do not have a way to mount the balls here prior to shipping though so your best option might be to take the ball and ball mount to a local mechanic and see if they could torque it down for you.

• How to Determine Ball Mount Rise/Drop For Class III Trailer Hitch on 2006 Honda Element
  To determine the correct ball height, just figure out the height difference between the inside top of the hitch receiver and the underside of the trailer coupler when the trailer is level, as shown in the help article I've linked to. When we installed the # e78KR on a Honda Element, the receiver height was right at 13-1/2 inches. A ballmount with a 5 inch rise like # C45336 will put you about level and given the fact that the trailer's tongue weight will compress the rear vehicle suspension...

• How to Transport 4 Kayaks with a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Limited
  I can definitely help you transport your kayaks with your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica but at this point in time (July 2019) there are no aftermarket roof racks that are compatible with your vehicle. I did check the online version of the owner's manual for your 2017 Pacifica and on page 175 is states that you have a weight capacity of 150 lbs so if you have 4 kayaks that weigh in at 38 lbs each that puts you at 152 lbs which means you are exceeding the max amount of weight for your vehicle.

• Availability of Flat Floor on Watersport Trailer for a 12.5 Flycraft Fly Fishing Raft
  While there aren't any parts designed specifically to keep road debris from flying up under the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT (or any of our watersport trailers for that matter), this is a pretty bare-bones trailer so it wouldn't be difficult to add something like that at home. In regards to the 10" hitch height of your Winnebago Travato Class B camper van, that actually isn't a big deal. All you need is a ball mount with a 5" rise to match the 15" coupler height of this Malone...

• Recommended Ball Mount for a Subaru Ascent
  I have a couple of options for you depending on the height of your Subaru Ascent's receiver. If the top of your hitch ball needs to be at 18-1/2" for your travel trailer then you will need a ball mount with rise not drop. From what I can tell the receiver height is anywhere from 12" - 13" above the ground. I have listed a couple of ball mounts below that will get you to the right height. Both of them have plenty of capacity for your Safari Condi Alto 1723 trailer. You will want to be...

• 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...

• Will Reese Sway Control Bracket RP26003 and Ball Mount # C45336 Fit Hitch Ball # 40038
  The shank length of the hitch ball part # 40038 that you referenced is 2-1/4 inches long. That would easily be long enough to fit through the ball mount # C45336 and the Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003. You will need a bushing part # 58184 though since the ball mount hole diameter is slightly larger.

• Determining Correct Ball Mount for 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan Towing Malone MicroSport Trailer
  The coupler on the Malone MicroSport Trailer with J-Style Carriers for 4 Kayaks - 800 lbs # MPG462G2 attaches to a 2" hitch ball. It sounds like you are trying to determine what rise/drop you would need on a ball mount to tow this trailer level. In order to find the rise/drop you will need to measure. The measurements you need are the hitch height and the coupler height. With your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan parked on level ground, measure from the ground to the top of your hitch receiver...

• Ball Mount with 5 Inch Rise for a Class III Trailer Hitch on a 2015 Nissan Murano
  There are numerous ball mounts that will fit your Class III trailer hitch and that have a 5 inch rise that you can use to tow the trailer level with your 2015 Nissan Murano. Ball mount # C45014 will not work because it does not fit a Class III hitch. It is too small. I recommend # C45336. It has a 5 inch rise and is rated for 10,000 pounds gross trailer weight (limited to the capacity of the hitch or tow vehicle, whichever is lower). This ball mount has a 1-1/4 inch diameter ball hole....

• How to Find the Correct Ball Mount for 2014 Land Rover
  I can tell you exactly how to find the correct ball mount for your 2014 Range Rover. What you'll want to do is make sure your Land Rover and trailer are each parked on level ground. Then measure from the ground to the top of the hitch receiver. Also measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler. If the hitch height is greater, you need a ball mount with drop. If the coupler height is greater, you'll need a ball mount with rise. You will also also want a draw bar with...
