• Best Extended Ball Mount for Towing a 4,000 lbs Trailer
  Hey Ben! All of the hitch extenders like the Gen-Y item # GY89SR are going to reduce your hitch's capacity by 50% so I am not sure that's going to work with your Land Rover's towing capacity. So long as you are not using a ball mount with a bunch of drop the easiest way to get some extra distance is to use the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount item # 80232. The Hidden Hitch Ball Mount item # 80232 is 15-3/4" long from the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball. It does have 2" of drop built...

• How to Get Multiple Keyed Alike Trailer Hitch And Coupler Locks
  We have an option for you, though there isn't a way to get matching keys for a Master Lock # 2848DAT trailer hitch and coupler lock set as they don't have a Keyed Alike option for a second set. What you can do in order to use the same key for multiple trailer hitch locks and coupler locks is use the etrailer locks, and select the "Keyed Alike" option from the drop-down on their product pages. This will get you all the locks keyed the same so you only have to keep track of a single key....

• Dimensions of the B&W Tow and Stow 3-Ball Mount
  The B&W Tow and Stow ball mount # BWTS10049B will have some great features. You can stow the mounting platform that has the 3 hitch balls (1-7/8, 2, and 2-5/16 inch) underneath your vehicle. This is nice because you will eliminate the possibility of hitting your shins while working around your hitch. The adjustable height will allow you the ability to tow trailers of different heights. The maximum drop is 7-inches and maximum rise is 7-1/2 inches. They are adjusted in 1-inch increments. I...

• Availability of Coupler Lock With a 5/16 inch Pin Diameter
  A pin with a 1/4 inch diameter, like part # e98886, is standard for coupler locks. Unfortunately there are none that are 1/16 of an inch larger in diameter. If instead you meant that you needed one with a span of 5/8 of an inch then you will want to go with the Master Lock Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # 2847DAT which has a 5/8 inch adjustment setting. If you meant that the pin diameter needed to be 5/8 inches then you are looking for part # e98880.

• Recommended Ball Mount for 2021 Subaru Outback Towing Trailer with 15-1/2 Coupler Height
  I have a solution for you, but there's not a ball mount with exactly a 1-1/2" drop. The goal is to tow your trailer as level as possible, so using a ball mount like the one that comes in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989891 that comes with a 2" drop would work just fine. This kit comes with both 1-7/8" and 2" hitch balls to allow you to cover trailers with different coupler sizes, plus a hitch pin, clip and storage bag.

• Lock for Curt Slim Adjustable 2-Ball Channel Mount
  The Curt Slim Adjustable 2-Ball Channel Mount # C46KR uses a 5/8" pin and is 2" wide at the channel. For a lock I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880. This has a 5/8" pin diameter as well as a 2-5/8" span. If you don't already have a lock on the hitch you could order 2 and have them keyed alike.

• Recommended 10,000 lb Capacity Ball Mount and 2 Inch Hitch Ball With 7 Drop
  There is a ball mount that has a 2" hitch ball and the 7" of drop you are looking for. Since you have a 10,000 lb capacity Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM13689-95, in order to match the weight capacity and get the 7" of drop you need, you will need an adjustable ball mount: - B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10040B (Black) or # BWTS10040C (Chrome) The Tow & Stow has a 2" and also a 2-5/16" ball, a 10,000 lb towing capacity, and up to 7" of drop so it matches everything you...

• Hitch Pin Weight Capacity and Sheer Strength
  We aren't manufacturers of those parts, and we don't have the testing ability in house, so I reached out to a couple of our manufacturers to see what information they could provide to try and help. I reached out to my contact at Curt regarding the pin and clip # C21500 and he said they haven't ever needed to test the sheer strength of a pin because the hitches and ball mounts will fail before the pin does every single time. They are rated for 6 figures easily. He gave an example of a...

• Pin and Clip Recommendation for a Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18153
  As long as you have a 2 inch hitch installed on your 2013 Toyota Sienna the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18153 would fit and work well for you. It does not come with a pin and clip but you have a couple options. For a standard pin and clip you would want part # PC3, for a locking one part # e98880, and finally for a locking anti-rattle one you would want the part # 63232.

• Should a Locking Hitch Pin be Purchased to Help Keep a Hitch Cover from Being Stolen
  A trailer hitch cover like the Rubber Hitch Cover # 22281 is not one that can be locked, but since it is a common piece it really isn't in too much danger of being stolen. However, if you you are looking at a hitch cover that is a little more unique, like the part # HTCC11805, then I do recommend going with a locking hitch pin like part # e98880 as opposed to a typical pin and clip like part # PC3. This will help to deter theft of your cover. Please note that the lock and clip/pin numbers...

• Hitch Adapter to Tow Trailer and use Bike Rack
  There is an option for you, though the part you asked about is not for use with trailers. Instead, I recommend the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers # D210. This will give you a ball mount for use when towing your trailer, and a receiver above it which you can use for your bike rack. You can secure it to your Sienna's hitch with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 or Pin and Clip # PC3. For a hitch ball, depending on the size...

  You can absolutely store the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11143865 in the hatch of your 2013 Subaru Outback when you aren't using it instead of routing it outside the vehicle. The connector end will be long enough to hang outside your hatch when you need to connect it to your trailer.

• Recommended Hitch Extender for Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch and 2 Inch Bike Rack
  The Draw-Tite # 24857 for your 2008 BMW is only rated for Class I. This means the only options to have your bike rack fit are the # HTAD or the # HT5R that are compatible with Class I hitches. You will limit the 200 lb tongue weight capacity of your hitch to 100 lbs because the adapter will reduce the hitch's tongue weight by 50%. That new 100 lb capacity will need to include the weight of your bike carrier as well as the loaded bikes. I also recommend using a hitch lock like # e98880...

• Recommended Ball Mount and Hitch Ball Compatible with Tightening Tool 45007
  The Curt Hitch Ball Holder and Tightening Tool for Ball Mounts # C45007 will work well with the Curt Solid Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45313. The platform is the standard 2-1/2 inches wide. I recommend the hitch ball # A-90 for a 2 inch ball or # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch option. You may also want to consider # e98880 for a locking hitch pin to secure your investment and deter theft.

  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.

• Adapter Needed For A Kuat NV 2.0 For 1-1/4" Receivers To Install In A 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver
  Hey Madison, Kuat actually has 2" adapter # D101 that's designed to work with the 1-1/4" shank on your Kuat NV 2.0 # NV12B that will also work with your original hitch pin.

• Towing Utility Trailer With Bike Rack While Needing More Rise From Ball Mount
  I think we have a solution for you here, but the two parts you mentioned are using an adapter and adapter together. What you can do instead is which is use a Gen-Y ball mount shanks with stacked receivers. This gives you the ability use both a ball mount and bike rack, stacked at different heights so they don't interfere with each other. I'm not sure how much more rise you need, so here are a couple options: - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise: Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-304 - 10"...

• Can a 1-1/4 - 2 Adapter be Used to Safely Haul a Cargo Carrier with a 2015 Toyota Corolla
  The concept of a hitch adapter like the Brophy # HTAD is a good idea in theory but the problem with using one of those with a 1-1/4" hitch, like part # C11265 or # 24913 for your 2015 Toyota Corolla, is that it will reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50%. Since those trailer hitches have a tongue weight rating of 200 lbs this means that the tongue weight will be reduced to 100 lbs. If you were to use all of this for the 24x59 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 you would only...
