Question:

Hi I have a toyota tundra extended cab and keep having trouble backin up trailers and turns I think because the ball mount is so close to the bumper do you have a longer 2 inch ball mount for this truck that does not sacrifice weight A cushioned mount would be great thanks

One of the longest ball mounts we offer is the Brophy ball mount part # BM20. This ball mount is 13-1/4 inches long from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole and has a 10,000 lb capacity. Without knowing how much capacity you need it's hard for me to say if this would be enough.

Backing up trailers is a bit of an art. The best advice I can give you would be to take your time and practice often. Also, it helps to have the trailer as straight as possible when starting to back up.
