Question:

Hello! I am planning to tow an enclosed Uhaul 5X8foot trailer using the Draw Tite 24843 with my 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback 2.5L. I know that I want a Euro style drawbar with a 2inch ball but unsure on the rise. Could you point me in the right direction?

Hey David, so for U-haul trailer the standard coupler height for their 5 by 8 trailer is around 16-1/2 inches. And when we installed the Draw Tite hitch part # 24843 on a similar 2019 Mazda 3 the hitch height was 10 inches. That would mean you'd need a rise of around 6 inches.

The closest Euro style ball mount we have to that would be the part # C45592 which has a rise of 5-1/8 inches.

Do you need trailer wiring too?
