Question:

Hi, Im going to be ordering a Hidden Hitch or a Draw Tite they seem equivalent hitch for our 2010 Mazda 5, so we can tow a Sylvan Go Sport trailer. The hitch heights shown on this site are about 12inch for these two hitches. The Sylvan Go Sport trailer says it wants a 2inch ball at height of 15inch - so it looks like we need a 3inch rise. THe hitches are 1.25inch square Type 1. Can you please advise what ball mount to get? Im having trouble finding this on your site. Id like to order all at once including the wiring kit you offer. Thanks for the excellent information on your site. best,

With Class I hitches you have to use the recommended ball mount for it otherwise the hitch warranty would be voided. So for the Draw Tite part # 24773 which is a fit for your 2010 Mazda 5 you would need the part # 3593 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. It has a rise of 2-1/8 inches and has to be used in the rise position.

So this would get you very close to what you need and it doesn't void your warranty so it would be the best option.

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