Draw-Tite Ball Mount DT49MR - What Is The Distance From Hitch Pin Hole To The Center Of The Ball?
Updated 12/08/2025 | Published 11/19/2025
Question:
I would like to know the distance from the center of the pin to the center of the hitch ball hole for this product. My car has a do-not-exceed spec for this distance, and I want to maximize the distance of the hitch ball from my bumper without going over. Thanks!
