Question:

Looking for a class III ball mount for a 2015 GMC Yukon Denali with 22inch wheels. The measurement from the top inside edge of the hitch receiver to the ground is 25 1/2. The trailer measurement is 13 1/4inch from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. Are the cushioned hitches better than the non cushioned? I will also need a ball for it. What do you recommend?

Thanks for including your measurements!

Using Cushioned Ball Mount for 2 Inch Hitches, # AMSC12, will provide the 12 inch drop that is needed for your set-up. This ball mount has a 7,000 towing capacity and will require a hitch ball with a 1 inch diameter shank, # C40007 for 2-5/16 inch and # 40038 for 2 inch, Pin and Clip, # PC3 or # e98880 for lock.

The added benefit of using a cushioned ball mount is the fact that the polyurethane interior acts as a shock absorber to reduce bounce and vibration during towing.
