Question:

I installed on 2016 corolla like I did on my 2007 corolla hidden hitch class 1 . It did not come with drawbar, or ballmount, I want to order one with correct rise I need. I have several class 1 1.25inch drawbars that fit but the pin hole is 1/2inch too far from the end and the drawbar hits the tab in the hitch stopping the drawbar, pin will not go in. The center of the hole on my ball mount is 2inch from the end, needs to be no more than 1.5inch from end to fit the pin on the hidden hitch #60345. I remember on 2007 corolla same problem but ordered ball mount and all is well on old one, but cannot use old one, need new ball mount with correct rise. question is: will ANY of the 1.25inch class 1 drawbars/ball mounts I might order fit with the pin hole to line up correctly on hidden hitch #60345? Thanks you

Expert Reply:

When picking out a ball mount for a Class I hitch like the part # 60345 you have to go with the ball mount that is recommended for the hitch. If the one that came with this hitch doesn't have the right rise there's nothing I can safely recommend since Draw Tite states that the use of any other ball mount will void the warranty.

You will have to use the part # 3593 that came with the hitch in the rise position. This will give you 2-1/8 inches of rise.

For a 2 inch ball you would need the part # 19258 or for a 1-7/8 inch ball part # 19256.
