Video Transcript for Draw-Tite 1-7/8 inch Chrome Hitch Ball Review
Today, we're going to be taking a look at Draw-Tite's one and seven eighths inch hitch ball with a three quarter inch shank. This ball is designed to work with both Class I and Class II hitches. With a maximum towing capacity of 2000 pounds, that makes it perfect for our Class I trailer here that also accepts a one and seven eighths inch ball. We can just slide it down on there and it snaps in place keeping it nice and secure. This ball mount is going to be ideal for small utility trailers like this for if you just need to get some things moved around or maybe you're helping a buddy move and you just need to have some extra space. And it's also great for recreational activities like hauling around some dirt bikes or possibly some small jet skis or ATVs.
Our ball is constructed of a cold forged steel with a chrome plating to give it a nice appearance and also to protect it against corrosion.Now that we've gone over some of the features, let's show you how to get it mounted up onto your ball mount. Now that you got your ball, you are going to need a ball mount for it. You'll want to choose one with the appropriate drop that matches your trailer so you'll have a nice level towing experience. That'll just provide better tongue weight and transitioning of the weight onto your vehicle. We'll now need to take our ball, we're going to put it in our ball mount.
You'll want to choose if you want it in the drop or rise position. We're going to be placing ours in the rise position, so that way when it's in our trailer, it raises it up. Place the included lock washer on the back, followed by the nut. We'll then want to clamp our ball into our vice here. And then we can tighten it down to the specifications included with your ball.When you're ready to use the ball mount, you simply slide it into your one and a quarter inch receiver matching up the hole with the ball mount in the hole in the hitch.
We'll then take the included half inch hitch pin and clip to secure it to our receiver. And we're now ready to attach our trailer to it. And that completes our look at Draw-Tite's one and seven eighths inch hitch ball with a three quarter inch shank.

I was very suspicious how will it fit and suit Dodge Challenger. But when I received trailer hitch, and by they way it travelled across the planet to reach me, I was totally impressed with the quality, ease of installation and accessories which I ordered with it. I basically installed it myself with a help of a friend, it took about 30 minutes to fix it. It really saved me as I needed the trailer to transport my bike to the race track and I didn't want to change the car. So the conclusion, I own it for more than a year and have zero issues or complaints about the hitch or accessories. I used to travel long and short distances and in average I use it every second week. You barely can notice it when you remove drawbar so it is very good solution.

I'm impressed! You promised my order would be here on Friday. It arrived a day early! Watching the video about installing the hitch said installation time was 40 minutes. I had it installed in exactly 40 minutes. That included the time it took me to search for the tool that I just had in my hand 30 seconds ago. Came inside and watched the video on installing the wiring harness then installed it without a hitch (pun intended)... The whole job took exactly 2 hours. I rarely have a job go that smoothly! Again, I'm impressed. Thank you so much!

I have a 05 Honda Accord and not only was this the most affordable option it has been a very great hitch and ball set up. I use my Accord V^ car like a truck with a trailer to make home improvements on my house. This set up has been very dependable and sturdy for the job at hand. Thanks again etrailer for ease and access to great towing products. etrailer has been my "go to" for over 12 years now and I would never shop any where else !

Toyota threw me a curve ball with 2 metal support brackets installed where the trailer hitch should go. Apparently they did this in 2015, as they do not show up in 2014 videos - anyway, I removed these and that allowed access to 6 pre-installed nuts that the supplied hardware screwed right into. I also ordered the wiring kit which plugged in with no issues. I've already made 2 trips with my small utility trailer, plus plan to haul bikes with it, also. The hitch looks great (but a little dirty due to lots of rain brought in by Hurricane Harvey).

etrailer was recommended by my neighbor after I used their trailer hitch to pull a trailer. They gave me the hitch info and I ordered one online thru etrailer’s website. The process was flawless from when I placed the order to when I received it. The shipment was fast and accurate. I would purchase from them again and highly recommend etrailer for all of your trailering needs!

So far so good. Very fine quality. The hitch installed even easier than expected. Did it myself after viewing installation video. which was extremely helpful.. Had all the tool ready. Then had to order tow bar because i went to a local retail for a tow bar to fit 1-1/4 in hitch. Even though i purchased a [different brand]1-1/4, it didnt fit until I destroyed it by grinding it. Susan at etrailer set me straight with a proper tow bar.

Okay so instillation was quite simple once I got the wires ran. So I had to remove the rear bumper for instillation of the wires. In the video it made it seem that it would be a quick instillation. 4-5 hours I spent intotal to install. It was about 3 hours with removal of the rear cover. It was so much easier taking off the bumper then trying to feed it like they showed.

Ask the Experts about this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Ball
- Is There Difference Between 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch BallThe two sizes you mentioned are different balls. The larger size typically has higher capacities and fits couplers that are designed for it's size. The 2 inch size is typically seen in lighter duty applications. You have to match the correct size hitch ball with what the coupler is designed to fit. I attached a link to a page that has all of the hitch balls we carry as well.
view full answer... - Availability of 1-7/8 Inch Trailer Ball w/ 1 Inch Diameter ShankThe shank diameter of the trailer ball needs to match the hole diameter of your ball mount, which can be accomplished a few different ways. You could use a ball with a 3/4 inch shank like # 19256 as long as you used a reducer bushing like part # C21100. Another option would be to use a 1-7/8 inch ball with a 1 inch diameter shank like part # 19260. What might be the best option would be to use an interchangeable ball system like the Convert-A-Ball # 903B. This system includes a 1 inch...
view full answer... - How to Determine if Unmarked Trailer Coupler is for 2 inch or 1-7/8 inch Hitch BallIf you have access to a 2 inch ball you should try fitting that into the coupler and see if it will latch on to it. That will be the best indicator. Based on what you said though it sounds like you have a 1-7/8 inch ball coupler as it fits into the coupler and only has a little bit of play.
view full answer... - Torque Specs for 1-7/8-Inch Hitch Balls with 3/4-Inch and 1-Inch ShanksThe correct torque value for the nut on a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball depends on the diameter of the shank. Draw-Tite, who makes # 19256 and # 19260 lists the following torque specs: "During hitch ball installation, torque all 3/4" shank diameter balls to 160 ft. lbs, 1" shank diameter balls to 250 ft. lbs., and 1-1/4" shank diameter balls to 450 ft. lbs."
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Towing Small Trailer with 2017 Kia ForteA small trailer to move your scooter with your 2017 Kia Forte is the best option. A 700 lb trailer is well below the capacities of the Draw Tite hitch part # 24903 that fits your vehicle. You'll also need a ball mount part # 3594 and a hitch ball # 19256. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118594.
view full answer...
- How Tight Should Trailer Coupler Be on Hitch BallA little bit of play is acceptable, the coupler should be tight enough that the coupler won't come off the ball, but not so tight you can't close the latch. I typically tighten the coupler up until I feel a slight resistance when closing the coupler latch, then I'll back it off slightly from there. Reese sells a white lithium grease that's conveniently packaged for use on hitch balls, part # 58117.
view full answer... - How to Pick Out Ball Mount for Truck Towing Small TrailerI attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground. Next, you will need to compute the difference. If the hitch height...

Class I hitches have a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver opening and a lesser weight capacity than Class III hitches with a 2-inch receiver opening. I have included a link to an FAQ article on the hitch classes for you. A Class I hitches will still allow you to attach 2-bike bike racks and do some light towing.

view full answer... - Can a Class II Ball be Used in a Class I Ball MountYes, if a ball is labeled as a Class II it can still fit a Class I ball mount. All that matters is that the shank on the ball is the right size for the ball mount's mounting hole. Ball # 19256 for example has a 3/4 inch diameter shank so it fits any ball mount with a 3/4 inch ball hole which is many Class I and II ball mounts. Please note that no matter what you always go by the lowest rated component in the system. So if the ball mount is rated for 2,000 pounds, the hitch for 3,000...

Your safest option would be to check with a Ram dealer to see what they recommend. Or you can use the GCWR in the door jamb. It's not always evident what a truck's max capacity is, even by reading the owner's manual, but if you look at the ratings sticker on the driver's side door jamb, you can get an accurate statement of the truck's towing abilities. On the sticker, look for the...
view full answer... - Correct Hitch Ball for Class II Hitch on 2007 Subaru ForesterYou will need a trailer ball (the size of the ball will depend on the coupler size of the trailer you are wanting to tow) with a shank diameter of 3/4 inch. For the ballmount that comes with your hitch, I would recommend the either the 1-7/8 Inch Trailer Hitch Ball part # 19256 or for a 2 inch ball, part # 19258.
view full answer... - 1-7/8 inch Hitch Ball Recommendation for Use with Ball Mount BM96There are different hitch ball shank lengths and diameters designed to fit different sized ball mounts. For the ball mount part # BM96 the recommended ball that has a 1-7/8 inch diameter would be the part # 19254 as it has a shank with the matching diameter and length needed.
view full answer... - Is Running Power Wire to Battery Required For Wiring Harness on 2007 Toyota YarisYes, you will need to route a 12 volt power wire to the battery of your 2007 Toyota Yaris when installing a trailer wiring harness; there is no way around this as that is the only way for power to get to the converter, which is needed for the harness to work. I have added a link below to a help article which gives details on the best way to route the power wire. So you will need to do that, though the correct wiring harness is going to depend on if your 2007 Toyota Yaris is a hatchback...

You will also need wiring to illuminate the trailer lights. I recommend the Curt T-connector 4-pole flat part # C34FR which will plug in behind the tail...

- Trailer Hitch Fit for 2019 Volkswagen JettaThere are a couple of trailer hitches that are a fit for your 2019 VW Jetta, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11540 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24978. Both are Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitches, but between the two I strongly recommend going with the Draw-Tite hitch. The reason for that is the Draw-Tite has a concealed crosstube, which is not only aesthetically superior because you can't see the hitch tube, but it also means you have better ground clearance, to avoid any issues...

So the only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11540 has a visible crosstube, while the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24978 does not.

This hitch has a 1-1/4 inch receiver and a 2,000 lb towing capacity with a 200 lb tongue weight capacity.
