• How to Extend Distance Between Truck and Trailer so Tailgate Can be Opened Completely
  Hey Beverly, thanks for reaching out!

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2002 Jeep Liberty
  Your 2002 Jeep Liberty is suitable for light duty towing and installing a trailer hitch, wiring, and using the appropriate accessories would be the way to go in my opinion.

• Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2017 Ford Explorer with 2.3L Eco-Boost Engine
  I'll start out by saying that you're always limited by the lowest rated component in your towing setup, even if certain components are rated for higher weights; I believe the "Class II Trailer Tow Package" refers to factory installed towing components that likely include a transmission cooler (and possibly other parts), and not the Class rating of the hitch. It should also be noted that the available hitches for the 2017 Ford Explorer are all Class III hitches, which technically are rated...

• Can I Use A Hitch Extension w/ Curt Trailer Hitch # C13095 On a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder
  When using a hitch extension it will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13095, by 50 percent. The tongue weight capacity of that hitch is 500 lbs, so if you use a hitch extension it will be reduced to 250 lbs. So you will not want to use a hitch extension when towing a trailer. For towing you could use a extended ball mount like the Ball Mount Kit, # EBMK2EL. This will extend the hitch ball 11-1/4 inches from the hitch pin hole and you will not lose the weight...

• Trailer Hitch and Towing Kit Recommendation for a 2020 Chevy Express Shuttle Bus
  The only trailer hitch available for your 2020 Chevy Express Van Shuttle Bus is the Buyers Products 2" Hitch Receiver # 3371801102.
