• How To Determine Which Ball Mount To Choose
  We have a very wide variety of ball mounts to choose from. Finding the correct one will depend on a few things though. First you will need to know the distance from the ground to the top of the inside of the trailer hitch once installed. Next, you will then need to measure from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when on as even a surface as possible. The difference will tell you how much drop or rise you will need. As an example, if the trailer hitch measures 12" and the...

• Troubleshooting A Ball Mount That Gets Stuck During The Installation In My Hitch Receiver
  While your 2021 Ford Bronco Sport has a 2" hitch receiver, it is Class II. This is unusual. Class II hitch receivers are usually 1-1/4". If you have a ball mount, like the Curt Fusion Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball - 2-1/4" Rise - 7,500 lbs, part # C45155, you should not have to hit a hammer to get the ball mount to fit your hitch receiver.

• Ball Mount with 2 Inch Rise and Ball Already Installed in Rise Position
  The Curt ball mount # C45042 only comes with the ball torqued into the drop position but we do have part # C45155. This has the ball in the rise position and it's a 2-1/4 inch rise but it's only a 2 inch ball not a 2-5/16 inch. If you need a 2-5/16 inch ball you'll need to move the ball on part # C45042.

Once you obtain these measurements you can either let me know what they are so I can make a recommendation or use...

• Weight Capacity for and Parts Needed to Tow with a 2017 BMW X1
  From what I could find online it looks like the towing capacity of your 2017 BMW X1 ranges from 1,023 lbs - 1,177 lbs depending on the exact model. You should be able to find specifics on this in your owner's manual as I couldn't locate one online. If you don't have your owner's manual or can't find the capacities then you can always contact your local dealer with your VIN for that capacity. The reason why the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13303 that you referenced has such a higher weight...

• Which Curt Hitch Will Fit My 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid?
  If you are looking for an American made Curt hitch that will fit your 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid so you can pull your little trailer with, you will want the Class III # C13397. Though you will need to check your owner's manual for the max capacities of your CR-V, but this is rated up to 3,500 pounds towing and 525 pounds of tongue weight, so it will be the one to get. As a side note, you will also need some wiring if you will be towing. With that said, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle...

• Will Curt Trailer Hitch C13381 fit a 2019 VW Tiguan 4Motion
  Yes, as long as your 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan 4Motion is a model S, SE, SEL or SEL Premium, the Curt # C13381 Trailer Hitch will fit perfectly. Just note that the hands-free liftgate sensor will be limited to either side of the receiver as the 2 inch square receiver will interfere with it in the center. If you're planning on towing a trailer, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat # C56403 to power up your trailer lights. This is the only custom harness...

  The Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 is designed to work with both the 2" and 1-1/4" hitches. It is possible that a ball mount like the Curt Fusion Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45155 is currently installed into the hitch and will need to be removed before installing the bike rack. To do this there is a pin and clip holding it. Pull the clip then the pin and the ball mount will slide out allowing you to then install the rack.

Therefore, in order to get an 18" coupler height you'll need a ball mount with 2" rise, the Curt Fusion Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45155 has everything you need.

• How to Determine Correct Ball Mount Rise/Drop for Towing with a 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon
  To choose the correct rise/drop for a ball mount you'll first want to park both your 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon and your single jetski trailer on level ground and then take some measurements. For your Outback Wagon you want to measure from the ground to the top inside of the hitch receiver, and then for your trailer you want to measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If your hitch is higher then you need a drop but if your trailer is higher you need a rise. Simply subtract...

• Ball Mount to Use with etrailer Hitch for 2013 Nissan Rogue and Apogee Optimax
  We aren't familiar with the coupler height of an Apogee Optimax but it sounds like you assume it would be right at 15 inches which is a pretty standard height. And if that's the case a ball mount with 2-1/4 inch of rise and a 2 inch ball like the Curt Fusion part # C45155 that you referenced would work great with the hitch that fits your 2013 Nissan Rogue part # e98846. If you needed trailer wiring you'd then need the # C56033.

• Recommendations For Setting Up A 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon To Tow A Trailer
  To get your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon ready to tow a trailer, you will need to start with a hitch. The Curt Class III # C67JR is definitely a great place to start. This American made hitch will be one of the most, if not the most, hidden options we currently have available, so it will have a nice clean look once installed. The install is a bit labor intensive, but not overly so and I did include an install video to help. This will also measure 15-1/2" from the ground to the inside top of...

• Will Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Fit 2016 Volkswagen GTI SE
  Yes, the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 will work for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI SE. If you check out the attached installation video you can see us install it on a 2017 GTI. If you don't already have a trailer hitch then I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7309 because it is the only option available that has both a hidden crosstube (for better ground clearance and looks) as well as a 2" receiver which makes it compatible with a wider variety...

• Recommended 3" Rise Ball Mount For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver
  I was able to confirm that the Curt Fusion Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball # C45155 does have a 2-1/4" rise. Since your hitch height is 15", and the trailer coupler height is 18" you will need a ball mount with a 3" rise to make your trailer level. To do that I recommend the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # 2753 which will give you 2-3/4" rise making you very close to level and includes a hitch pin and clip, and using 2" Hitch Ball # 63845, or 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19261 to match...

• Best Class III Trailer Hitch for 2019 Kia Sorento LX with V6 Engine
  For your 2019 Kia Sorento LX with the V6 engine, I recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98843 because it offers a 5,000 lb towing capacity and a tongue weight rating of 750 lbs. The matte black finish on the etrailer hitch is a nice touch that sets it apart from its competitors. Since you'll just be using the hitch to move your daughter to college, it won't play a huge part for now, however, the higher tongue weight capacity will allow you to use the hitch for a wide variety...

• Grille Guard and Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Toyota RAV4
  Best option for the front that we offer is a grille guard like part # AA2065 which is a fit for your 2018 Toyota RAV4 as it's designed to protect the front of the vehicle. Then for the rear a trailer hitch like the Draw Tite part # 75235 would work to some degree but it's not really designed for protection. You could then use a ball mount like # C45155 to give a bit more protection as well.

• Towing Capacity of a 2012 Toyota Prius V
  According to the owner's manual for your 2012 Toyota Prius V, "Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Toyota also does not recommend the installation of a tow hitch or the use of a tow hitch carrier for a wheelchair, scooter, bicycle, etc. Your vehicle is not designed for trailer towing or for the use of tow hitch mounted carriers." If you choose to do so anyway you will need a trailer hitch, wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. For this, I recommend using...

• What is the Height of the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Installed on a 2015 Honda CR-V
  Although we haven't installed the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98868 on a 2015 Honda CR-V, we have installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13119 on a 2015 CR-V and found that from the ground to the top of the inside of the receiver measured 14-1/4". The reason we can use the measurement of the Curt is because these 2 trailer hitches have the exact same dimensions. With this knowledge that would mean that you need a ball mount with about a 2" rise like the Curt Fusion Ball...

• Is it Better to Go with Higher or Lower Rise Ball Mount than Needed
  You've got good instincts. I recommend going with a ball mount that has a 2 inch rise for the exact reason you mentioned, the truck will settle a bit with the tongue weight and any cargo weight. The ball mount we offer with a 2 inch rise is the Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270. This is considered an extra long ball mount, measuring 13 inches from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole. Another option is the Curt Ball Mount for 2 Inch Hitches - Angled Shank # C45230. This ball mount has...

• Recommended Parts Needed to Tow with a 2019 Ford Flex
  The trailer hitch that I recommend using to tow a small trailer with your 2019 Ford Flex is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75679 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. Then for wiring I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118472 because it has the highest amp draw rating out of the available options. This means that if you end up towing a trailer with a fair amount of lights on it you won't overdraw this wiring harness. If you would like to mount this near the receiver then you can use the mounting...

  For your 2017 Jeep Patriot, I highly recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98836 because it's super easy to install, offers a superior matte black powder coat finish to protect it from rust and corrosion, and its 4,000 lb tow rating is more than enough to safely tow your wave runner to and from the lake as often as you'd like.

• Ball Mount Recommendation for Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Installed on 2018 Honda CR-V
  When we installed the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76128 on a 2018 Honda CR-V we found that from the ground to the top inside of the hitch receiver measured 13-1/4". This means that if you need the top of the ball at about 18-1/2" then you need a ball mount with about a 2-1/4" rise. If the bottom of your trailer coupler to the ground measured 18-1/2", when level, then that would mean you actually need a rise of 5-1/4". For the 2-1/4" rise I recommend the Curt Fusion Ball Mount # C45155 which...

• Adjustable Ball Mount For A 2014 Mercedes Benz GLK
  To get your ball to the height you are wanting on your 2014 Mercedes Benz GLK I recommend using an adjustable mount. I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 7.5K - Black Item # BWTS10038B. It provides a 1-7/8" ball and a 2" ball for different trailer couplers and fits 2" receivers. It is going to provide a 5-1/2" rise so it is going to provide the adjustability you are looking for. I recommend making sure the trailer doesn't exceed the weight capacity...
