Video Transcript for Feature Review 2" Hitch Ball-63845

What's up everybody, Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the tow-ready hitch ball. So this one is going to be for your two-inch couplers. So just look on your coupler, make sure you have a two-inch before you grab this one. And it is going to have a max gross trailer weight of 7,500 pounds. The things you need to look at whenever you're pairing this up with a ball mount, you just want to make sure that we're not really limiting this.

So we want to kind of match it up to the corresponding capacity of our ball mount, just so it's a good system together, and it can handle everything you want to use it for. So with this, basically, all you need to look for as well with your ball mount. So we want to make sure this plate is not going to be any thicker than inch and no thinner than a half an inch. And the reason for that is the shank, AKA the threaded portion of our ball, is going to be about two and one-eighth inches long. It's going to have a diameter of an inch.

So another thing is the hole on our ball mount, we want to make sure that's an inch as well, just so it's a nice snug fit. And we have a nut on the bottom. It's going to be a one-inch nut, but the socket, you're going to want to grab a inch and a half socket to torque this down. And when it comes to ball mounts, with this one, we're going to want to torque it down to 250 foot pounds, which is a lot. So make sure you have a breaker bar or a torque wrench, whatever, just to make sure that you torque it down properly, just so this thing doesn't come undone whenever you're going down the road.

When it comes to trailer hitch balls, it's just kind of comes down to what size you need, what capacity you need. And when it comes to the finish, it doesn't matter what finish it has unless it's aluminum, it's gonna rust away. So don't expect to grab this ball and not have it rust away every time. There's just so much going on and so much metal on metal contact that it will rust away and that's with any other ball mount. It's still gonna work, but it's not going to look as pretty as it does now.

So if you really wanted to upgrade and prevent that from happening, you can go ahead and grab a aluminum ball. We do have some here, and you can pair that up with an aluminum ball mount, just so nothing's going to rust away. But when anything is made of steel, doesn't matter what kind of coating it is. It will eventually rust away after a year or so of use. When it comes to the trailer hitch balls, really all you need to make sure of is that it's the right size for your trailer. Make sure that it has a big enough rating for the trailers that you plan on hauling. And then we do want to make sure we pair it up with the right ball mount. We have a lot of options, so it shouldn't be that difficult for you guys to find the right setup for you. But this one it's basically kind of covers all those areas. I mean, I don't really haul massive trailers, but with this, it's really perfect for the middle of the road guys, you know, it'll take care for your smaller trailers, but also your bigger trailers. So as long as you take all this information from this video, I really do think this is going to cover a lot of those bases for you guys. And it's going to be a great option for you as well. And that's basically it for our look at the tow-ready hitch ball..

  • 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...

  • Recommended Extended Ball Mount or Hitch Extender for Towing Boat Trailer
    For your 2018 Tahoe and boat trailer needing a longer extension between them I recommend the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 13-1/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BM20. Having a longer ball mount like this will not reduce the capacity of your hitch at all. This will give you a length of 13-1/4 inches from the center of the ball to the hitch pin hole. For a compatible hitch ball the shank needs to be 1 inch diameter for this mount. I recommend the 2 inch ball # 40038 or...

  • Recommended Hitch Extender for Towing with a 2008 Range Rover
    Since hitch extenders like the 11" Roadmaster # RM-071 you show in your pictures reduces the weight rating of the hitch by 50% we typically recommend avoiding them as a solution. For your application we have ball mounts with extended shanks that don't reduce the weight capacity of your hitch and that's what I recommend going with. For a long ball mount we have the Brophy Ball Mount # BM20 which has a 3/4" rise/2" drop and measures 13-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to center...

  • What Hitch Ball Does Blue Ox Weight Distribution System Use?
    For the weight distribution hitches from Blue Ox that have a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs, # BXW2000 and # BXW2003 you only need a hitch ball with either a 1" or 1-1/4" diameter shank. For a 2" hitch ball you can use # 63845 and for a 2-5/16" hitch ball you can use # 63847. To put it on the system, you only need to slide the ball into the hitch head and tighten it. If you go to 5:45 of the linked video review you can see exactly how to install the hitch ball.

  • Trailer Coupler Will Not Release Hitch Ball Even After Lubrication
    I see you have tried the usual fixes for a coupler that won't release the hitch ball - moving the vehicle slightly to potentially release excess tension on the ball, lubrication with WD-40 and even a little brute force with the pry bar. You can also first make sure the trailer is supported, and then remove the hitch pin from the ball mount and move the truck forward. This will ensure there is little or no tension on the ball/coupler. This will also give you more room to work and free up...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Chucking, Jerking, and Tugging on Light Utility Trailer Carrying Two ATVs
    I believe that I can help you with the tugging you are experiencing. First, consult your vehicles owners manual for the towing capacities and recommendations, and to make sure you are not exceeding those capacities. Next, there is a formula you can use to determine the best place for your axles. If your tongue weight is less than 10 percent of the gross trailer weight you will first determine what 10 percent of the tongue weight is. 180 pounds is what you will need. Subtract the actual...

  • Hitch Solution for 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI that Can Do Ball Mount Rise of 9 inches
    I really wish there was a good solution for your problem but with Class I hitches like what you have there isn't a way to use a taller rise ball mount. The added length and leverage of the taller ball mount just is too much stress on the lower capacity hitch. Aside from going to a 2 inch hitch I really don't have a solution I can provide.

  • Trailer Towing Setup Recommendation for 2014 Buick Enclave
    You are on the right track! The Draw Tite hitch part # 75528 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Buick Enclave as well as the trailer wiring kit # 118270. The wiring mount part # 18144 will also give you a place to mount the 4-way that bolts to the bumper. The ball mount part # C45036 that you referenced is would also work well if you need 2 inch drop. I attached a help article that details how to pick out a ball mount drop as well.

  • What Size Hitch Ball Works With a Weigh Safe Hitch W/ Built In Scale

  • 2019 MINI Cooper S with Automatic Transmission Compatibility with Tow Dolly and Bike Rack
    Based on your owners manual it does appear you can dolly tow your 2019 Mini Cooper Automatic with the front wheels off the ground but I recommend checking with your dealer for distance or speed restrictions because the owners manual only references emergency towing and gives both a speed and distance restriction of 30 miles and 30 mph with no reasoning behind those restrictions. If you find you are able to tow dolly a 2019 Mini Cooper S, then the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Trailer that Weighs 4,000 lbs
    Typically tongue weight for a travel trailer is right at 10 percent of the total trailer weight and sometimes up to 15 percent. So for a 4,000 lb trailer you'd most likely have a 400 lb tongue weight but could possibly have a 600 lb tongue weight. The great news is that the Husky Centerline kit part # HT32215 has a tongue weight range of 400 to 600 lbs just like what you'd need so this kit would work well for you. If you can find a scale near you for measuring the weights of vehicle you...

    As long as your 2011 Keystone Passport 245RB has a box frame, C-channel frame, or I-beam frame that the frame members are no more than 66" apart, you can use the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # C13704.

  • Recommended Ball Mount for a 2010 Toyota RAV4 With Factory Towing Package
    For your 2010 Toyota RAV4 Factory Hitch, you'll want about a 3 inch rise. You can confirm this by measuring from the ground to the top of the trailer hitch, and measuring from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. Then, subtract the higher number from the lower number. It does sound like you've gotten this about right though. If yours is a 1-1/4 inch hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Drawbar, part # 36063. This will give you a correct, 3 inch rise with a 3/4 inch ball hole diameter....

  • Ball Mount for 2016 Ford Fusion
    Assuming you are in that 9-10" range you can use the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 80248. This has a 9-3/4" rise and a gross towing weight of 3,500 lbs which would be perfect for your trailer. You will also need # C40002 for a 1-7/8" ball or # 63845 for a 2" ball. Just to be sure, I'm going to run through the process to measure for rise/drop. The first thing you need to measure is the hitch height. With the tow vehicle parked on level ground, measure from the ground to the top of your hitch...

  • Trailer Hitch, Ball Mount, Hitch Ball, and Hitch Lock Recommendations for a 2007 Mercedes ML350
    Yes, the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 13342, is a confirmed for your 2007 Mercedes ML350 as long as it does not have the Air Ride Suspension. I have included a link to the instructions below. Hitches do not come with a ball mount. So you might also be interested in Ball Mount # C45010, and a ball. For hitch balls you can use, # 19260 (1-7/8 inch diameter), # 63845 (2 inch diameter), or # 63853 (2-5/16 inch diameter) depending on your towing needs. I also recommend a Trailer...

  • Is There A Fixed Straight Hitch For a 2" Receiver With a 2" Hitch Ball?
    A Tri-Ball mount like the MaxxTow # MT70021 is going to be the only style ball mounts we have with no rise. You can use the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 2923 in the rise position with a 2" Ball # 63845. This will only sit 3/4" above the top of the receiver opening. It would be the closest we have to the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45147 you found.

The photo you attached shows a factory trailer hitch on what I believe to be the 2019 Ram 1500 new body style (fifth generation). On the new body style there are two different trailer hitches, one that has a 2" receiver tube opening below the bumper and one that has a cutout for a hitch ball in the bumper....

    If you add a dual receiver adapter like the Curt Dual 2" Receiver Tube Adapter, 8" Extension # D-192 to your Toyota Tacoma, it will not only add the tongue weight, but will reduce your hitches tongue weight capacity by 50%. I recommend going with the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs # CC-275 which will allow you to use your current rack, and will add that trailer tongue weight, but will not reduce your hitch's tongue weight...

The sway control brackets will only fit trailer frames that are 4 to 8 inches tall so there would be too much movement if they were to be installed on the tongue of your Riverside Camper.

    For a Class III hitch, I'll typically recommend the Curt product because they do a slightly nicer job on their powder coat finish than Draw-Tite does. Curt offers both a traditionally styled Class III hitch, part # C13206 which would have the entire hitch visible from the rear and a mostly-concealed hitch, part # C13410 which would have the crossbar of the hitch concealed behind the bumper with the only visible portion of the hitch being the receiver tube and the safety chain hoops.
