• Recommendations for 2014 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited Towing a 5x8 Hiker Highway Deluxe Trailer
  Trailer Brakes are not required on most trailers under 3,000 lbs unless otherwise stated by the local authorities. This should not be an issue with safety behind your 2014 Subaru Outback, but you can add them if desired. I would just need you to pull a hub and let me know the number on the grease seal and the face of the 2 bearings in that hub. With that info I can get you the parts needed for the upgrade. The bigger issue with a trailer this size and weight is sway caused by wind...

• Distance from Hitch Pin Hole Center to Ball Hole Center on Draw-Tite Adjustable Ball Mount # 7390
  I made a picture showing 3 important measurements on the Draw-Tite adjustable ball mount # 7390. The distance from hitch pin hole center to ball hole center is 11-3/4 inches. If the extra 2 inches is needed in a ball mount then of course it would be beneficial to go with the 14 inch. But in comparison of 2 ball mounts that are the same in every other way except length, there is no benefit in choosing one over the other. You may get less rattle with the shorter model and there will be a...

• Can Volkswagen Touareg Use Weight Distribution When Towing
  You will need to check your owners manual to see what the trailer towing capacity is for your Touareg. Many times the construction of a vehicle will restrict the amount of weight the vehicle can tow. I looked at a 2010 Touareg and the trailer hitch we have that is designed for the 2010 is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 13220. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. A technical note states that you cannot use weight distribution with this hitch. You will want...

  Hey Joe, yes this is a great option to solve your problem.

• Adjustable Ball Mount that Can be Used with Friction Sway Control
  You can use sway control only with an adjustable ball mount in one of two ways. First, you could use sway control bracket # RP26003 which will fit a ball mount platform up to 2.610 inches wide.

  When installing bar style friction sway control the measurement needed is actually from the center of the ball cavity on the trailer coupler to the center of the sway control ball mounted on the trailer frame. That measurement should be 24 inches (take a look at the linked instructions for # 83660 as an example). I have also linked a video that will help.

• Will Draw-Tite # 7390 Adjstable Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tab Adjust to a 2 and a 3 Inch Rise
  The maximum rise of the Draw-Tite # 7390 adjustable Ball Mount with sway control tab is 3-3/4 inches. The holes in the shank that allow you to elevate or lower the ball platform are spaced at 1 inch increments, meaning you could have your ball at a 3-3/4 inch or a 2-3/4 inch rise.

  A 25-foot pop-up like your Coleman Niagara is right near the length where we begin to recommend a second sway-control device.

• Recommended Ball Mount to Tow a 2022 Volkswagen Atlas
  It's possible, Rafael, but it looks like the GVWR of your Atlas ranges just a bit over 6,000 lbs which I personally wouldn't be comfortable with. So with that said, I'd recommend using a bit beefier ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10038B which has a 7.5K capacity and has 5" of drop or 5 1/2" rise depending on what you need.

• Do You Carry a Sway Control System for a Small Pole Tongue Utility Trailer Pulling an ATV
  With a trailer and load this small, and being a pole tongue trailer, a sway control system like this will not be of much use. There are several things you can do to try to correct the sway problem. If you try them and they do not work you can use a friction sway control system like the Reese Pro Series, but it will require some fabrication with the trailer. The first thing to do is adjust how the load is situated on the trailer. You want to move more weight forward to increase the tongue...
