Question:
Will Draw-Tite Ball Mount - 9-3/4inch Rise, 11inch Drop - 9inch Long - 3,500 to 5,000 lbs - 80248 fit on a Jeep Renegade with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2inch - C13269 without hitting the bumper?

Expert Reply:
I contacted my tech contact at Curt and the distance from the hitch pin hole on the Curt # C13269 hitch to the bumper is 4-1/2". The center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the gusset on the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 80248 is 5-3/4" which means this ball mount sticks out enough to where it will not hit the bumper on your 2016 Jeep Renegade in the rise or drop position.
If you are looking for a pin and clip for this ball mount, I recommend the Draw-Tite Pin and Clip # PC3. If you need a hitch ball, I recommend the 2" Hitch Ball # A-90 or the 2-5/16" Ball # 63840.
For a wiring harness, I recommend the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness # 118651.
I attached a review video for the Draw-Tite Ball Mount you may want to check out.

I would like to confirm what the measurement is from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the gusset on the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 80248. Is it 5-3/4" as stated above or is it 3-3/4" as shown in one of the listing photos? Thank you.
