Question:

I have a question about the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2 Hitches - 6 Rise/ - 6K GTW, 200 lbs TW. I want to install this on my 2022 model 3. I have the Ecohitch installed at the moment. Will this clear the rear of the Tesla and about how far will it stick out from the Ecohitch? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

We haven't yet installed the EcoHitch # EH84GR on a 2022 Tesla Model 3 yet, so I can't say for certain what kind of clearance you need, but you can take a measurement on your own and compare it to the # RM-076 high/low adapter to determine if it'll clear the rear bumper and how far it'll extend rearward.

You'll need to take a measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole in the receiver of your EcoHitch rearward until the rearmost part of the back bumper is cleared, as shown in the help article I've linked for you.

If this measurement is LESS than 5 inches, the # RM-076 high/low adapter will clear your bumper. If you measure rearward from the hitch pin hole by 13 inches, this will show you how far rearward the adapter will extend.

The # RM-076 adapter is NOT meant for towing. The adapter has a 200 lb capacity, but the 300 lb tongue weight capacity of your # EH84GR hitch will be reduced by half to 150 lbs if the adapter is used which means that the hitch mounted accessory and whatever's carried on it can't weigh more than 150 lbs.
