Hey Joe.

I went down to the warehouse and grabbed you some pictures of # e38TV. The pin hole center to the center of the ball seems to be 10-1/2".

What do you plan on towing?

Thank you Trent. I will be towing a toy hauler travel trailer that will have a GVRW of about 13,000# but I like the longer hitches so I can still put my tailgate down without hitting the camper tongue jack. The BROPHY 2.5" hitch for 10,000# trailers has a pin-center to ball-center of 13-1/4" to allow for that, but 10k isn't enough for my trailer. Is there another 2.5" square hitch that is 13" long that supports 13k#

@Joe I did find something worth taking a look at. The BulletProof Hitch # HD254 is 13-1/4" pin center to ball center when you use the farthest hole. This is an adjustable hitch that is less cost effective than # e38TV however, it does fit the bill for what you're looking for.

@TrentG Not looking for that style. I want a straight bar with a ball on it, 2" drop.

@Joe Unfortunately Mr. Joe there are not any hitches that fit the bill. The closest thing would still be the adjustable # HD254.
