The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
According to Blue Ox, it'll take an experienced installer about 4 to 5 hours to complete the installation of their #BX1128 Base Plate Kit on a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The install isn't what I'd call super-difficult, but the installation…
Probably not unless you want to cut that round hole into a 2-1/4" square. The Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate item #e74VV is designed for a-frame trailer's that have a square cut out not the standard 2-1/4" circular cut out which I am…
Hi Thomas! The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball on the #BW77BR is 13-5/8". This is designed to fit a 2-1/2" receiver with a 10k rating for the 2" and 21k rating for the 2-5/16" ball. What…
Hey Rob, I’d be wondering the same thing if I came across a ball mount made out of aluminum like the #BPH77MR while researching. Totally fair question. That said, I haven’t seen any noticeable difference in slop or wear compared to their steel…
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…
The appropriate torque spec for any application will vary depending on the construction of the wheel as well as on the stud size. I suggest checking the wheels you're using to see if their manufacturer has a suggested torque rating. Steel trailer…
Hey Chris, we do have more hitches now for your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek than what we had when we made the video you referenced but even with that in mind I would recommend the B and W part #BW32PR because it's mostly hidden and because it has the…
Hey Jason! I'm guessing you have the 12" long shank right now which is the standard. For a longer shank that fits a 2-1/2" receiver you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 16" Long - 7" Rise,…
Great questions I am glad you asked them. I have solutions for them. You will need the Demco SBS Second Vehicle Kit for Air Force One Supplemental Braking System #SM99209 and the Demco SBS Air Force One Coiled Air Jumper Kit for 2019 to Present…
This is a great question that there isn't exactly a great answer for. Hitch extenders not only put the weight further away from the hitch which would increase the leverage on the hitch, but they also add movement to the assembly which will…
Thanks for reaching out Mike! I spoke to Weigh Safe and only their Cerakote aluminum ball mounts are made in the USA. All other steel and aluminum ball mounts, including the steel 180 PRO models, are manufactured overseas. If you wanted an American…
TowSmart drop hitches make it simple to level different trailers and switch to the ball size you need. Find options sized for common hitch receivers, setups you can flip for rise, and versions that include a pre-torqued ball or locking components. Match your receiver size and the rise or drop you need, and note the pin-to-ball distance for spare-tire or tailgate clearance.
Yes, TowSmart mounts can be flipped for rise to help level a trailer. One setup leveled a small trailer fine when flipped. Check bumper clearance; if your bumper is too thick the shank length might feel too short. Confirm the rise you need against your coupler height.
TowSmart adjustable mounts make changing sizes and heights straightforward. Users leveled multiple trailers and switched sizes quickly. After adjusting, confirm the platform and pins are seated and secure. If a locking pin doesn't stay locked, replace it to help prevent a hazard.
Contents vary. Some TowSmart options include a ball and pin, and the hitch pin may be stuffed inside the receiver tube. Others do not include a hitch pin. Some assemblies can be locked to secure the setup. Remove any plastic insert in the pin hole before installing and verify all pins are fully engaged.
Yes, TowSmart has options for common receiver sizes. A 2" TowSmart adjustable mount fits any 2" hitch receiver. For 1.25" receivers, look for the TowSmart shank with the x design that helps insure a tight fit and reduce wiggle and clunk. Verify your hitch size before ordering.
