• 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...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2004 Toyota Camry for 3-Bike Rack and Towing
  Thank you for all of the details, it sounds like you've really been doing your research! I recommend going with the Class II Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12339 2004 Toyota Camry for a few reasons; the Curt hitches tend to have a thicker powder coat so the metal is better protected against the elements, and it has the Class II rating which is needed for any bike rack carrying more than 2 bikes. Class I hitches are weaker so adding more weight further away from the receiver (like with...

• 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...

• Recommendation For Draw Bar With Rise That Makes Ball Height 16 Inches On 2018 Mini Countryman S
  There may be a combination of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, Item # C11522, with a draw bar like the Curt Drawbar - 5 inch Rise, Item # C45014, that will get you the right ball height. To find what you need, start by measuring from the ground to the top of your hitch receiver opening on your 2018 Mini Countryman S All4. Next, with the trailer level, measure from the ground to the bottom of your coupler. Subtract your hitch height from your coupler height and this will give you the...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• Can the Trailer Hitch for a 2009 Smart fortwo Be Used to Tow a Trailer or Carry a Scooter
  Curt trailer hitch # C11020 will support a trailer weighing no more than 2,000 pounds and no more than 200 pounds tongue weight as long as the vehicle is rated to tow. You will need to consult the owners manual to determine if the vehicle can tow at all. If it can and its capacities are lower then you will go by the lower capacity. A trailer is the safer way to go. A hitch mounted carrier and scooter on it will be far too heavy for this Class I trailer hitch. A trailer is easier on the...

• 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...

• 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.

  There are only Class I trailer hitch receivers available for your 2012 Kia Soul. The Curt Class II Drawbar # C45521 is what is recommended for a ball mount with a Class I trailer hitch, but the # C45014 is also compatible.

  Class II trailer hitches and accessories all have 1-1/4 inch receivers/shanks. Class III accessories and hitches are 2 inch.

I have included some links on hitch classes and ball mounts for you.

• Ball Mount Recommendation to Clear the Back of a 2007 Chevy HHR
  If you were to use ball mount # C45014 on your 2007 Chevy HHR it would be very tight so I do recommend going with the longer # C45015. If you have or are looking at hitch # C11447 then the ball mount that Curt recommends is # C45520 which is about the same length as C45015 so it would also have enough length. For either ball mount if the trailer takes a 2 inch ball use # C40018. And if it takes a 1-7/8 inch ball use # C40001. And if you don't already have a trailer wiring harness you can...
