No worries Mr. White, we have just what you need with the etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued # e47DR. It fits your 1-1/4" receiver on your car, fits your trailer's 2" coupler, and has nearly 4" of rise so that your trailer will be level. Luckily, this ball mount comes pre-torqued and tow-ready, so you can slap it on your car's hitch receiver and get that trailer on the road. Another benefit is that it has a strong black nickel coating on the ball and hardware to resist corrosion and also look good.
