Question:

I have a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country, equipped with one of your 2 hitch/receivers designed for this vehicle. I need to tow a trailer with a 21 hitch height, which is a 10 rise. I need at least 7 of clearance from the hitch pin hole to clear the bumper. Do you have a product that I can use for this purpose?

Expert Reply:

There is one ball mount that meets your criteria for 10 inches of rise as well as more than 7 inches of clearance from the hitch pin hole to the hitch ball:

- Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 80248

This ball mount will give you 9-3/4 inches of rise (that 1/4 inch is not a factor; you just need to be within an inch or so of level) and measures from 9 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball.

For a hitch ball, depending on your trailer's coupler you will need either 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40002 or 2" Hitch Ball # 63845.

Then to secure it to your hitch you can use Pin and Clip # PC3 or lock it with Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880.
