Question:

I would like to tow my boat behind my bronco. I have a hitch with a five inch to get under the spare tire but would prefer to keep it more level. Should I buy an extender? Or is there a very long hitch ball mount that can clear the spare tire and use one piece?

Expert Reply:

Thanks for the picture! You won't need an extender plus that will cut your capacity. To clear your Bronco's spare tire you're going to want the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches item # D-28. This extended ball mount has a 6" drop and is 14-1/4" long. It has plenty of capacity for your boat trailer.

For a 2" hitch ball you will want the Curt item # A-90.
