• What All Do I Need To Flat Tow A 2023 Ford Maverick?
  Congrats on the new car. I can definitely help set you up with everything you need. Lets start with the base plate and work our way from there. For the 2023 Maverick I recommend using the Roadmaster direct connect # RM97RR. Roadmaster make a great quality base plate, and the twist lock removable arms are a nice feature. That way you do not have metal pieces protruding from the front of the car when not in use. This base plate also has pre welded safety chain hooks, and a mounting location...

• How to Lock the Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler to Deter Theft
  Hey Sam, thanks for reaching out! The Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler for 2" Receivers # AR44FR is a great way to add some versatility in where your trailer can be towed, but since everything can move around it does present some challenges when we're looking for coupler locks. The best option for keeping your trailer (and the Ark coupler) from walking off is for you to use the Stainless Steel Coupler Lock # e98882 to secure the Ark to your trailer, and then the BulletProof Hitches Extreme...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Ram 1500
  For the New Body Style of the 2019 Ram 1500, I recommend the Curt # C15005 which will fit whether you have the factory hitch or the Class III tow bumper. This is a strong Class V trailer hitch which exceeds the max towing rating of your Ram 1500. Even though this is the case it is worth noting that this will not increase the weight rating of your pickup so that will be the limiting factor. You should already have a 7-Way on your Ram, but you may consider swapping out your current connection...

• Looking for Keyed Alike Hitch Pin Locks and Wheel Locks
  Hey Joe, for a 5/8 inch diameter hitch pin lock we have the etrailer part # e98882 and then for a 1/4 inch lock we have the part # e98887 which can both be keyed alike but we don't have a wheel lock that can be keyed alike to both of these.

• Replacement Rubber Straps For The Rhode Gear 4 Bike Hitch Shuttle Bike Rack
  I called my contact at Yakima and they informed me that they currently do not make nor stock replacement parts for the Rhode Gear 4 Bike Hitch Shuttle anymore.

• Gross Towing Weight Capacity and Recommended Hitch for a 2017 Subaru Outback
  Thanks so much for purchasing your hitch from us! I understand the confusion associated with towing weight capacity. There are many factors that contribute to the gross towing weight capacity of a vehicle. In many cases, it is not necessarily the size of a vehicle alone that determines the rating. This can be misleading. Manufacturers produce vehicles with varying structural integrities, and these factors have a large influence on a vehicle's towing capacity. With that being said, through...

• What Ramp Bike Rack Solution do You Recommend for My Aventon Adventure E-Bike?
