Question:

I Purchased a Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch Receiver-Custom Fit-Class III-2 Code # 87007 to tow a 2013 ROCKWOOD A122S Pop up trailer and the Ball Mount I have doesnt clear the spare tire. Any recommendations? Is there a Ball Mount that would clear the tire or could I use an extension? I also wondered what you thought of the vehicle and trailer combination and towing capacity?

Expert Reply:

For your 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara and Curt hitch # C13001 you can use any ball mount rated for a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch. The recommended ball mount for the hitch and vehicle is # D-4 and it measures 8-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole.

For a longer ball mount with the same 3/4 inch rise and 2 inch drop you can go with # D-4 which measures 10-1/4 inches long. Ball mount # D-26 is 12-5/8 inches long. And finally there is # BM20 which is 13-1/4 inches long from hitch pin hole to ball hole. Determine what you need and choose the ball mount that is the closest match.
