Hey Vince,

The TowSmart Trailer Hitch # TS46VR is 7-1/2" from the front mounting plate to the center of the hitch pin hole. I have attached a photo for you to see how the measurement was taken. Compared to the Draw-Tite # DT37GR, the TowSmart is 1/2" longer to the hitch pin hole.

What are you looking to use this hitch for?

Yes, the conical tooth washer needs to be positioned so that the teeth face the hitch. That is what prevents it from coming loose. Take a look at the video I have linked. At about the 1:50 mark the installers start to put the hardware on to mount the…

Answer 10

The issue with hitch extenders is that they end up cutting the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent due to the extra length and movement in the hitch. So with that in mind there isn't a hitch extender we can offer that will…
