• Fascia Trimming Needed to Install Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2019 Honda Civic Sedan
  I can certainly understand the hesitation of having to trim the fascia to install a trailer hitch in your 2019 Honda Civic sedan, but that's the only way to get a hitch installed because the only hitch that fits this vehicle is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24954. Hitches are designed to fit specific years, makes and models of vehicles which is why the Draw-Tite is the only hitch you can use. The fascia trimming is minor though, just a 2-1/2" x 4" cut out, and it won't be visible...

• Trailer Hitch for 2005 Toyota Corolla
  The trailer hitches that fit your 2005 Toyota Corolla are all Class I hitches, and with that class of hitch, the manufacturers have a specific ball mount which is required, and it must be in a particular position. For example, I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24913 for your 2005 Corolla, and the required ball mount is the Draw-Tite Drawbar # 3593, which must be in the rise position only, as you can see by the cut out of the linked installation instructions I added....

• How to Pick Out the Correct Ball Mount
  I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground. Next, you will need to compute the difference. If the hitch height...

• Choosing the Correct Class I Ball Mount to Pull a Small Boat Trailer with a 2014 Kia Soul
  To choose the correct ball mount you will want to make sure that you do check the weight capacity of it, but it is also equally important to make sure that you know what kind of Rise or Drop you need or if it is even needed at all. Keep in mind that you will need to check your owner's manual for any special instructions about towing. In an online manual it states not to use your 2014 Kia Soul for towing so if you do so you will be operating outside of the parameters of the manufacturer. What...

• Why Can't Class II Accessories Be Used with Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver
  Both Class I and Class II trailer hitches have the same 1-1/4 inch receiever opening, however a Class II hitch will have higher towing and tongue weight capacities. The primary issue with using a Class II accessory in a Class I hitch is that many Class I hitch receivers actually have a built-in tab/stopper inside the receiver that physically prevent a Class II accessory from fitting. Trailer hitch manufacturers do this in order to keep a Class I hitch from being overloaded, since a Class...

• Hitch Ball Options Compatible with the Draw-Tite Drawbar # 3593
  We do have hitch balls that are compatible with the Draw-Tite Drawbar # 3593 that you are looking at. The 3/4" ball hole diameter on the drawbar needs to match the shank diameter of the hitch ball that you choose. The 2-5/16" Curt Hitch Ball # A-6 that you referenced is for heavier towing applications and has a shank diameter of 1-1/4" so the shank is too large for the Draw-Tite drawbar. We recommend going with the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256 or with the part # 19258 which is a 2"...

• How to Determine the Correct Size Ball to Use For Towing with a 2005 Toyota Matrix and # 24812 Hitch
  Selecting the proper hitch ball has more to do with the trailer coupler and gross weight of the trailer than the trailer hitch installed on your vehicle. The coupler ball size will be stamped into the coupler somewhere, usually on the top. With the 3593 draw bar a short shank ball with a 3/4 inch diameter shank is recommended. We have an article detailing ball selection and information for you to review (see link). If your trailer has a 2 inch coupler and is no heavier than 3,500 pounds...

• Towing a Trailer that Fits a 2 Inch Hitch Ball with ATV that has a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  Unfortunately, we do not have any hitch expanders from a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver to a 2 inch receiver that are able to be used for towing. Although, I'm a little confused. Your ATV has a 1-1/4 inch receiver and the trailer fits a 2 inch hitch ball. With this being the case you can use a Class I ball mount like # 3593 with a 2 inch hitch ball like # 19258 to tow the trailer with your ATV.

• Is There a Standard Required Clearance for Ball Mount to Vehicle Bumper
  There really isn't a specific range for what you are asking about. You basically want the trailer to be able to move as you turn without interfering with the vehicle bumper. Normally that's not an issue and what people end up more concerned with is the correct rise drop. Having the hitch opening recessed 3 inches is pretty standard for towing applications. Ball mounts typically stick out around 9 inches or so which gives the trailer plenty of clearance to pivot around.

  The best way to determine which amount of rise or drop you need from a ball mount (in order to keep your hitched trailer level for the best handling) is to measure as outlined in the linked article.

• Install 3593 draw bar in the up or down position on a 2005 Honda Element
  The orientation your Class I Drawbar, part 3593 will depend on the height of the trailer coupler. With the trailer level, measure from the coupler down to the ground. This is the approximate height you'll need the trailer ball to be. You'll want to install the drawbar so that the trailer ball is as close to this height as possible. Due to the fairly low bumper height of the Element, you'll probably need to install it in the 'up' position.

• Recommendation for Transporting Street Bikes with a Jeep Patriot and a Class I Trailer Hitch
  If your Jeep Patriot has a trailer towing capacity of 2,000 lbs then it will most likely have a tongue weight (TW) rating of 200 lbs as most vehicle manufacturers recommend a 10% max trailer tongue weight. I recommend verifying this with your owner's manual as the vehicle weight ratings can differ from that of your trailer hitch. You will be limited to the lower of the 2 ratings. Even if your max TW is higher than 200 lbs it won't be much more than that so to transport your heavier street...
