Question:

Will the standard drawbar, recommended with C12107 for my Toyota Camry 2015, provide proper ball height?

Expert Reply:

The ball mount recommended with the Curt Class II hitch # C12107, when installed in the rise position will place the base of the trailer ball at approximately 13-5/8 inches above the ground. The ball mount is part # C45017.

If 13-5/8 inches wouldn't be high enough to level your trailer, you can measure the height above the ground of the bottom of the coupler when the trailer is level. Take a look at the FAQ article I've linked for you. The article shows exactly how to measure to determine the rise or drop of ball mount you'll need.

I've also linked you to the Class II ball mounts we offer. Simply measure for the rise you need, and choose the ball mount that comes closest to the rise you're needing. There might not be one available that exactly matches the rise you need, but as long as you're within an inch or two it's considered close enough. Some hitch manufacturers state that the included ball mount is the only one you can use, but I've confirmed with Curt that this isn't the case with their Class II hitches.

You'll also need a trailer ball. Check the coupler on your trailer, the size of the ball you need should be stamped into the metal. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use part # A-80 or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball.
