• Will Curt Hitch and Tekonsha Wiring Fit 2012 Kia Optima
  Yes, both the Curt # C11025 and Tekonsha # 118453 will fit your 2012 Kia Optima. If you're planning on towing you will also need a ball mount like # 36065 along with # 19256 for a 1-7/8" or # 19258 for a 2" ball. I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.

• Parts Needed To Tow Lightweight Trailer With 2019 Toyota Camry
  To tow the lightweight kayak trailer with your 2019 Toyota Camry you will need a hitch, wiring, ball mount with ball, and a pin with clip. For the hitch, I recommend Class I Curt Trailer hitch receiver part # C11576 which is a 1-1/4" hitch receiver and fits the hybrid model. I have attached a video for your reference. You will also need wiring to illuminate the trailer lights. I recommend the Curt T-connector 4-pole flat part # C34FR which will plug in behind the tail lights. When we...

• Sport Trailer With 15 Inch Hitch Ball Height
  I have a great option that is going to work for you, though I checked with Yakima, and to use the Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 the top of the hitch ball must be 22" off the ground. An inch or two in either direction would work, but the seven inch difference you have would make the trailer susceptible to fishtailing due to the uneven tongue height. With that said, there is a similar trailer that is going to work very well for you, the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT, which requires...

• Parts Needed to Tow With 2006 Toyota Matrix XR & Can Bikes be Brought
  I'll just rip this band-aid off as fast as I can but there is just not a way to use a standard hitch-mounted bike rack and tow at the same time with your 2006 Toyota Matrix XR. The issue, like you said, is the 1-1/4 inch hitch not having an adapter; even if it did though, hitch adapters reduce hitch capacity by 50% so you'd be going over that as well. The only solution would be to add a roof rack and two roof-mounted bike racks, and that's awful expensive for one trip. If you want to do...

• What Size Ball Hole do Ball Mounts that Fit 1-1/4 inch Hitches Have
  All of the Class II ball mounts out there have a 3/4 inch diameter ball hole. It might be the best solution for you to replace the ball you have with one that will fit that ball hole size like what comes with the # 36065 that you mentioned. For a 2 inch ball you'd need the # C40018 or for a 1-7/8 inch ball # C40001 and you'd be set.

• Trailer Hitch Fit and Towing Capacity for 2009 Pontiac G6
  The Draw-Tite Class II hitch # 36426 is a confirmed fit for your 2009 Pontiac G6 and the hitch itself offers a maximum towing capacity of 3500-lbs. If your trailer has a 2K-rated axle then the hitch will have plenty of capacity to tow it, but you'll also want to check the G9 owner's manual since the car itself may have a different towing capacity than the hitch. The lower-rated item determines overall capacity. A hitch installation video is linked for you. Towing also requires a ball,...

• What is the Height With and Without Rise on Ball Mount for 2016 Ford Fusion
  For your 2016 Ford Fusion, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12091 is a confirmed fit. This hitch will be 10-3/4 inches from the ground to the inside top of the receiver opening. When using a ball mount like # C45016, this will give you a 2-5/8 inch rise from that location giving you 13-5/8 inches from the ground in that rise position. In the drop position, the top of the mount or bottom of the actual hitch ball will be at 7-3/8 inches from the ground....

• Ball Mount Recommendation for 2012 Chevrolet Cruze With 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
  We have a couple different style ball mounts that will work with the hitch on your Cruze. For a standard ball mount I recommend the Curt, part # C45522. This ball mount has a 3-7/8 inch rise to help provide a bit more ground clearance. For a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # C40001, and for a 2-inch ball I recommend part # C40018.

• Can 2017 Lincoln Continental Tow a Trailer
  According to the Ford Towing Guide, your 2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve can tow up to 1,000 lbs assuming you have the 3.0L GTDI V6 or the 3.7L Ti-VCT V6. If you have the 2.0L GTDI I4 engine you will not be able to tow. You will need to check your owner's manual to verify this information. The Curt # C12182 is the only hitch available for your vehicle. It may have a 350 lb tongue weight and 3,500 lb max trailer weight capacity, but you're still limited by the capacity of your vehicle....

• Trailer Hitch For A 2013 Buick Lacrosse
  Hello Gregg. We do offer a trailer hitch for your 2013 Buick Lacrosse, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12115. This is a class 2 hitch, it has a 1-1/4" receiver and is rated for towing up to 3,500 lbs or 350 lbs of tongue weight. So, more than enough for a light boat and trailer. I also recommend that you get the Curt T-Connector # 56098 which will definitely be the most convenient wiring option for your Buick. You will also need a ball mount such as part # 36065 as well as a 1-7/8" ball...

• Using a 36078 Class II Drop Drawbar as a Rise Instead of a Drop
  The drawbar you mentioned is not intended to be used in the rise position and would only create a 3-1/2 inch rise. We do carry a 5 inch and a 3-1/8 inch rise drawbar (see links below) that will fit the Class II hitch. These drawbars all have a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs and a towing capacity of 3500 lbs. Keep in mind that if you need a significantly higher or lower drawbar to tow (you are not able to use the manufacturer's recommended drawbar for the hitch), you will void the manufacturer's...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2010 Hyundai Accent
  Starting with the trailer hitch for your 2010 Hyundai Accent, I do recommend the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch # 24795 referenced in your question. This is a Class I hitch that will provide a towing weight capacity of 2,000 pounds. I like this model over the Curt alternative also confirmed to fit your vehicle because unlike Curt, Draw-Tite does not require the use of stabilizing straps like # 18050 with non-trailer loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers. After your move...

• What is the Recommended Ball Mount for a 2005 Toyota Sienna with a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
  For a Class I or II trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch, you must use the ball mount that is recommended by the trailer hitch manufacturer. The reason is that the hitch has been tested with a specific ball mount and it is deemed to be the safest and best option for that vehicle and hitch combination. The only 1-1/4 inch hitch we carry for your 2005 Toyota Sienna is # C12065. The correct ball mount for this hitch is # C45016, and it must be used in the rise position only. It has...

  The hitch for your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix is the Curt Class II hitch # C12225. This hitch has a 1-1/4-inch receiver opening and a maximum trailer weight rating of 3500-lbs, which should be plenty for a small rental trailer. This hitch fits several versions of the Grand Prix, the GT Coupe, the sedan and the GTP.

• Ball Mount with 4 or 5 Inch Rise for a 1-1/4 InchCurt Hitch on a 2016 Honda HR-V
  For the Curt hitch # C11416 the recommended ball mount is # C45521 which is 7-1/4 inches long. So as far as length goes the average on the recommended mounts is about 7 inches but it can be longer. The rise on these recommended ball mounts isn't enough though. For a 4 inch rise you could use # 3594. For a 5 inch rise use # 36065. And for either ball mount you can use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. For a trailer wiring harness you can use # 118673 to add a...

• Will Draw Bar 36065 fit a 2012 Nisssan Sentra
  There is a drawbar with 5" of rise that will work for you, but Draw-Tite # 36065 is for use with Class II hitches only, and is not compatible with your Class I hitch, # 24794. Instead, you could use the Curt # C45024, a Class I draw bar which also gives you 5" of rise and will have no problems clearing your bumper with a length of 9-9/16". For a hitch pin you would want # F-4, and the hitch ball you want would either be 1-7/8" ball # C40001 or 2" ball # C40018.

• Hitch and Trailer Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy HHR
  The only way you could transport a 500 handicap scooter with your 2011 Chevy HHR would be for you to install a hitch like part # 24756 and then use a small trailer. A cargo carrier setup wouldn't work because your vehicle wouldn't have the tongue weight rating to suspend the weight of your 500 lb wheel chair off the ground unsupported. To complete your towing setup you would also want a ball mount, the # 118407 for trailer wiring, # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, and # 19258 for a...

• What Is Needed To Tow A Pop-Up Camper With A 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT1
  Yes, you can tow a small pop-up camper with your 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT1, as long as the camper does not weigh more than 3,500 lbs. loaded. But, you will always want to check the owners manual or with the dealer for the gross towing weight capacity of your 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT1 to make sure the towing capacity is not exceeded. The Curt 1-1/4 Inch Class II Hitch, # C12225, would be a recommended hitch for your vehicle. It is a Class II hitch which has a 3,500 lbs. towing weight...

• Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica with Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 36798
  Your assumption is correct. If the distance from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on trailer hitch # 36798 is 12 inches, and the distance from the ground to the bottom of a level trailer coupler is 17 inches, you would need a ball mount with a 5 inch rise. Ball mount # 36065 is a good option. It takes a ball with a 3/4 inch diameter shank. For a compatible 1-7/8 inch ball you can use # 19256. For a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring if your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan
  The Class III and IV trailer hitches are designed for higher capacity, larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks that have higher towing capacities. The hitches we have for your 2009 Hyundai Genesis are lower in capacity like the Draw Tite Class II part # 36486 which has a 300 lb tongue weight capacity. Best option would be to go with a small trailer if this is the only tow vehicle you have. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. You'll want to check your owners...

• What is the Correct Ball Mount for a 2005 Toyota Camry
  Because all of the trailer hitches for the 2005 Toyota Camry are Class II hitches, see link, you must use the ball mount specified by the trailer hitch manufacturer.
