How to Pick Out Ball Mount for 2012 Toyota Venza

Updated 06/27/2018 | Published 06/25/2018

Question:

I have a 2inch hitch receiver on my car a 2011 Toyota Venza. I pull my tear camper. A standard hitch is too low so Id like to raise it. I think something with a 6inch rise would be perfect, what can you recommend?

I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground.

Next, you will need to compute the difference. If the hitch height is greater than the coupler height the difference is the drop required. If the coupler height is greater the difference is the rise required. You will want to pick the ball mount with the rise/drop closest to the difference.

The Curt hitch part # C45090 does have a 6 inch rise if that's what you need.
