• Would Curt Trailer Hitch for 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Tow Motocross Bike Trailer
  Looking at the picture you sent in of your motorcycle trailer it would pretty easily weigh less than the 2,000 lb capacity of the Curt Hitch part # C11474 that is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Volkswagen Jetta. You probably have about 400 lbs of dirt bikes and the trailer probably only weighs a few hundred lbs as well. For a ball mount with a 2 inch ball you would want the part # C45562 or for 1-7/8 inch ball you would want the # C45561. Lastly you would want to check the owners manual...

• Least Visible Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Dodge Charger

• Recommended Euro-Style Ball Mount for a 2015 Nissan Altima with Curt Class I Trailer Hitch
  The recommended 2 inch Euro style ball mount for Curt trailer hitch # C11352 on a 2015 Nissan Altima is # C45572. I went out to the warehouse and pulled one to take some measurements. From the center of the pin hole to the part of the shank where it starts to bend up is 3 inches. This will work because the rear bumper on the Altima tapers upward above the hitch receiver. At 6-1/2 inches out from the center of the hitch pin hole, where the shank starts to bend straight up, it is at a height...

• Will Curt Euro Draw Bar Fit Draw-Tite Receiver For a 2018 Honda Accord?
  For the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24972 which fits your 2018 Honda Accord I recommend using the Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar # C45562.

• How to Transport a Heavy Kayak with a 2012 Toyota Camry
  I have a solution for you. First, though, a roof rack coupled with a kayak carrier is not a viable option. It looks like a fully-assembled Old Town Sportsman Bigwater PDL 132 weighs 117 pounds, which is more weight than even our best kayak carrier can handle. Instead, I suggest going with a watersport trailer. I recommend the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer for a Heavy Kayak, part # MAL73FR. It can handle up to 400 pounds and is much safer way of transporting and loading your heavy kayak....

• Could 2001 Honda Accord Tow Small Trailer with Motorcycles
  The total trailer weight and tongue weight you mentioned having of 55 lb tongue weight and 455 lb total trailer weight would fall well within the towing capacity of your Accord so you'd be totally safe with this setup. I know you have a hitch already but for trailer wiring then the kit we'd recommend is the part # 118336 because it installs very easily and has the most reliable converter box of the kits we offer. For ball mounts you'd want the part # C45562 for if the trailer needs a 2...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring For Trailer Towing With a 2013 Nissan Juke
  To begin according to the owners manual for your 2013 Nissan Juke it says "Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle." so you will want to consider that if you do intend to still tow.

• How to Select the Correct Rise or Drop for a Euro Style Drawbar on 2017 Subaru Outback
  Thank you for the dimensions; you correctly measured from the ground to the top of the hitch on your 2017 Subaru Outback, though the other measurement is from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. Assuming your coupler is roughly 2 inches tall, from the ground to the bottom of the coupler would be approximately 18 inches. Since the top of your hitch is 15 inches, you need a drawbar that gives you about 3 inches of rise. For Euro Style drawbars rise is measured to the beginning of the...

• Choosing Correct Ball Mount for 2014 Mercedes Benz GLK 250 BlueTec w/ Factory Hitch
  I would imagine that Mercedes puts a Class III hitch on that vehicle as the factory option. You can confirm that by measuring the INSIDE dimension of the receiver opening. If it measures 2 by 2 inches, it's a Class III. If it's 1-1/4 by 1-1/4 inches, its a Class I or II. The sticker on the hitch should tell you which. Both the ball mounts you mentioned could be used in a Class I or II hitch, as long as the capacity of the hitch or the ball mount isn't exceeded. If you have the Class III...
