Hey Eric, The hitch extenders that we currently offer for a 2-1/2" receiver tube opening unfortunately max out at 6,000lbs GTW and wouldn't be capable of towing the trailer. You're most likely going to need to upgrade to a TorkLift…
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…
Hello Andrew, Well that sounds like quite the fun trip, what state or states will you be traveling through? You're asking a really important question, especially since you're planning a cross-country trip with about 250 pounds of bikes and…
Hey Rafael, if you wanted to use the Gen-Y Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount #325-GH-505 as a high-low adapter with your Blue Ox Apollo tow bar you certainly can as that's what it was meant for plus it has a 16k towing capacity. What are you…
Hi Chris, that’s a great question and I’m glad you’re checking before loading that bike up. With the Roadmaster adapter part #RO24FR being rated at 400 lbs tongue weight, you’d be right at its limit with your bike and carrier, and once you factor in…

Hi Fred! The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags w/ Easy Mount Compressor - Wireless Control - Single Path - 5,000 lbs #F24XV will indeed fit your 2025 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system. The only vehicles it won't fit are ones that have the factory…
Hi Ryan; the Weigh Safe Hitch w/ Built-In Scale for 2.5" Hitch #WS56ZR is designed in the US but manufactured in China. The Weigh Safe ball mounts with the built-in scale are pretty unique so we don't have a USA made option with the same…
Hey David, so EcoHitch does not like to post the install instructions for their hitches like the front hitch part #EH54QR that fits your 2023 Ford F-450 but it does come with a set of detailed instructions. Would you like me to track down a set that…
Hey, Joe. That's a great question. Backup cameras and rearview, observation, cameras are essentially the same, the difference comes down to how they’re wired. With a system like the Furrion Vision S+ Wireless RV Backup System #FR57AD, it’s…
Hey William, so the 3 inch hitches do use the larger hitch pin diameter but the 2-1/2 inch hitches still use the smaller one. So with a reducer like the part #38735 technically you would use both sizes. If you check out the picture I attached you can…
