Hi Brian, welcome back! The B&W Tow & Stow does have a few models specifically designed to work with the MultiPro tailgate so it won't hit the ball mount. To get a 1-7/8" ball you will need a tri-ball that also has the 2" and…

Drop hitches are essential for towing with vehicles of varying heights. They offer adjustable height settings, making them perfect for connecting low trailers to high vehicles or vice versa. Whether you're towing a vintage camper or a bike rack, a drop hitch ensures a smooth, level ride.
A drop hitch allows you to adjust the height of the hitch, making it easy to connect trailers of different heights to your vehicle. This is especially useful for lifted trucks or SUVs towing low trailers, ensuring a level and safe towing experience.
Yes, a drop hitch can be used with bike racks to adjust their height, preventing them from dragging on uneven ground. However, it's important to ensure the rack sits at a comfortable height for loading and unloading bikes.
Consider the weight capacity, adjustability, and compatibility with your vehicle's hitch receiver. A solid steel shaft offers durability, and features like anti-rattle screws can enhance stability. Ensure it fits your specific towing needs, whether for trailers or bike racks.
Most drop hitches are designed for easy installation and adjustment. They typically slide into the hitch receiver and secure with a pin. Adjusting the drop length is straightforward, allowing you to switch between vehicles or towing needs with ease.
Some users find that certain drop hitches can be wobbly or difficult to install, especially if not properly shimmed. It's crucial to ensure all components are tightly secured and compatible with your vehicle to avoid these issues.
