Expert Reply:

Class II trailer hitches and accessories all have 1-1/4 inch receivers/shanks. Class III accessories and hitches are 2 inch.

If you have a Class I or Class II trailer hitch then you are supposed to use the ball mount recommended by the trailer hitch manufacturer for warranty reasons. If you have a 2004 Scion xB then all of the hitches for it are Class I trailer hitches and you should be using ball mount # C45521.

I have included some links on hitch classes and ball mounts for you.
