Haven't used it yet. I bought it because of CURT's quality. It was beat up in shipping though.

Its doing the JOB.



by:

This 13" drawbar keeps the tailgate off the trailer jack.
Being that long also keeps it I storage immediately after I disconnect the trailer.
No need for a locking pin.



by:

These are perfect for newer trucks with taller tailgates



by:

Exactly what I needed to extend the reach of the ball beyond my rear tire carrier WITHOUT losing any tongue weight capacity! I used mine for the 2" rise.



by:

Not usually a fan of any extra length between the truck and trailer, I opted for this extended ball mount so I could drop the tailgate without hitting the trailer jack. This did the trick. But this not a mount you should leave on your truck after detaching the trailer! Ouch!



by:

Exactly what I needed to move trailer away from spare tire



by:

The ball mount is not welded square to the tube
This is the second one sent took 4 months to get a refund on the first one.
The first one lasted one long trip before bending
Quality control is lacking on this product line.



by:

Measured the drop to keep the trailer horizontal, and length for tailgate clearance. This hitch works great!



by:

Each item was as described and installation a snap. Light are at least twice as bright as originals. The right-angle wiring pigtail made the project much easier.

Really appreciate the extensive information on each product and the follow up is a nice touch.



by:

It's perfect for my Jeep Wrangler it gets the ball past the spare tire.



by:

Great product and excellent service with on time delivery!



by:

Product is per specs. Attached is why I needed and how it helped me attach the mud flaps and still be able to plug in my 7 pin. I was really happy that I didn’t have to pay two day shipping, and it still arrived in that amount of time just like it said it would.



by:

Great product, they were very quick filling my order. Everyone kept me informed how the order was processing and the delivery date.



by:

For a 7,500 lb hitch, I was surprised it didn’t have a wedge support welded on where the flat iron is welded to the square tube.



by:

Quality mount. I needed a longer mount for my golf cart and this will work great.



by:

I have traveled across the US towing an overloaded Uhaul 12' trailer.
The trailer was still behind me when I arrived, so the hitch functioned as promised.
I did not, however, require the extra long hitch as suggested for my particular vehicle, but it will serve as an extra. Unnecessary purchase.

My son has since purchased a hitch from etrailer for his new Ford Edge.
We're both happy - very robust and well engineered product(s)

Excellent. Now mostly serves as an intimidation factor for those who would tailgate me...



by:

Product is exactly what was expected. But what is really 5-Star is this company's actions after the order is submitted. The website allows the customer to follow the timeline of the item from the order being placed to being pulled to being shipped to having a tracking number.... and in an extremely quick manner! Will shop here again.



by:

I got everything on time and it’s working good and also high quality



by:

I needed a hitch with a long shank because of my spare tire being mounted on the back of my Jeep. This one does the trick!

Works as intended. Very pleased.



by:

The etrailer Curt Hidden Hitch was almost $200 less expensive than the suburu dealer, without installation. Thank you etrailer your suburu install video was fantastic. Very apprehensive about removing the entire rear bumper panel on my new outback; but had my laptop open in the back of the suv,and installed like clockwork. Hidden hitch has no unsightly drop bars hanging
Below the bumper. Unbelievable price, looks and
Tows great, and saved well over $350 installing
Myself. Suby looks great, and friends are amazed I
would tackle this job myself...This is my 2nd hitch
from etrailer, and I like the efficiency, and detail of your website. HATS OFF to you etrailer. Satisfied customer...



by:

Works great on my lifted jeep, with a s pare!



by:

Excellent product and service.
Bought
this long heavy duty ball mount so I can open my tail gate with a trailer still hitched up.
All the online measurements and information made it much easier to choose the correct mount.
Works great!



by:

Works exactly as expected! My Subaru Outback bumper did not allow for a "normal" length drawbar, so this longer one was the only way I could tow anything.

Shirley

Still works great a year later!



by:

Great product! I’ve had mine for about a year and I use it to pull my 3800 lb bass boat all over Michigan. I actually had to buy this extended hitch, because all the gm products have the hitches tucked further under the bumper. Which when I use my mudflaps that hook onto the hitch, they would always hit the bumper. Great product.



by:

Excellent service from etrailer! Required an extended hitch so I could open the truck tailgate with the trailer attached and has done the job it was purchased for. The finish looks as new as it did when I bought it a year ago.

  • Tongue-Mounted Bike Rack For Scamp Travel Trailer
    I think your best option is to use theHitch-It 2 Bike Rack for Straight Tongue Trailers # LC731138. This can fit onto your shank or trailer tongue (fits between 2"-3" in diameter) between your vehicle and travel trailer and provides a nice 2-bike platform rack. One thing to keep in mind is that you may need a longer shank if you don't already have an extended one. Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270 may work which measures 13" from center of hitch pin hole to center of ball mount hole. This...

  • Will The Brophy Ball Mount BM20 Work With Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack
    Yes, The Brophy Ball Mount part # BM20 is ideal for the Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack part # C18013. The Curt C18013 requires a 2 inch ball mount so this one is perfect and measures 15-3/4 inches Long so it provides a lot of clearance. Our extra long ball mounts only come in 2 inches but if you are asking about the 2 inch drop then we do carry the Curt Ball Mount part # D-28 that measures 14-1/4" Long with a 6 inch drop. If you need less drop than 6 inch we carry, 13 inch Long Curt ball mount...

  • How To Prevent Jeep Spare Tire From Hitting Jack and Propane Tank Cover On Trailer While Towing
    Yes, there will be an effect on towing capacity when using a hitch extender. The Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # HE06 for example that you referenced will cut your towing capacity in half, so 1,750 lbs. This will also be the case for all adapters like the above. That said, I do have options for you that will give you additional clearance and will not reduce your towing capacity below 3,500 lbs. I recommend the Curt Class III Drawbar part # C45270 which offers a 2"...

  • Will the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier Prevent the Rear Hatch From Opening
    The Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier part # CC-255 should not interfere with opening the rear hatch but then again this is not really possible for us to test on every trailer/vehicle combo. That said, if you can clear the tongue jack then odds are you can clear the cargo tray as well. I took a look at the reviews and there was only one mention of this issue on a different vehicle with larger hatch but they could have had a short trailer tongue and that issue was resolved by...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis W/ Dual Exhaust
    The Class III rating on a trailer hitch receiver means it has a 2" receiver and has a higher tongue weight and trailer weight rating than a Class I or II hitch. Class III hitches are what we typically recommend if they are available for the specific vehicle as the 2" receiver offers the most options for accessories like a bike rack, cargo carrier, or ball mount, and the increased tongue weight and trailer weight ratings are ideal for knowing the receiver on your vehicle is plenty strong...

  • How to Gain Turning Clearance between a Truck and Bumper Pull Trailer
    The problem that you will run into when using a hitch extender is the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch will be reduced by 50 percent. Based on the weight of your trailer and the fact that you are adding a water tank to the tongue of the trailer, I would guess that your current trailer hitch might not have the weight capacity to handle the trailer tongue weight if the capacity was reduced by 50 percent. The best option for your situation is to use a longer ball mount. I am...

  • Recommendation for Adding Clearance Between RV and Trailer
    Using a hitch extender like the Tow Ready # HE18 referenced in your question is a great option for giving you some additional clearance between your RV and trailer. Using this or any other hitch-mounted adapter will reduce the tongue weight of the hitch by 50 percent, but it will not affect the towing capacity/horizontal pull. You should have no issue pulling your 2,000 pound boat with your 7,500 pound hitch, even when using an adapter like this one. Another option to consider that may...

  • Recommended Ball Mount for a Setup that Needs 1-3/4 inch Rise
    For a ball mount that will give you the correct amount of rise for your setup you would want the Curt Ball Mount part # C45270. This has a 2 inch rise which would work well for you when you consider that with the tongue weight of your trailer on the hitch the rear suspension will most like sag slightly which would allow your trailer to sit perfectly level. If you need a pin and clip part # F-4 would be what to use. Or for a locking hitch pin # e98880. For a 2 inch hitch ball you would...

  • Long Ball Mount Recommendation that Provides 3.5 inches Of Drop for Towing Casita Trailer
    Your number one priority with picking out a ball mount needs to be going with one that allows the trailer to tow as level as possible. Since your trailer requires a 3.5 inch drop to tow level your best option is a longer ball mount that has a drop figured closer to what you need than the two options you mentioned. The best option for that is the Curt ball mount part # C45270 which provides 4 inches of drop and is 13 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball...

The only vehicle that would require modification of the exhaust hanger is the 2003 and later Lincoln Town Car.

  • Solution for Tailgate That is Hitting A-Frame Jack
    While your frustration is understandable and we have a solution for you, I wouldn't be able to tell you with absolute certainty that using the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3755 will stop your tailgate from hitting the jack. The reason is, A-frame jacks like these mount to a specific place on your trailer and if your tailgate comes down at that point, they will hit. What you can do instead is use a side-frame mount jack like the Fulton Marine Jack # HD50000101 or you could...

  • Determining Clearance Needed Between Travel Trailer and Tow Vehicle Rear Bumper
    There isn't a specific clearance number that is needed between a travel trailer and tow vehicle rear bumper, as it will really depend on several factors including the width of both the trailer and your motorhome. A V-Nose trailer like what you have will also reduce any potential for turning clearance issues. What I recommend doing is taking your motorhome and trailer out to an empty parking lot so you can make some slow, controlled turns. You can have a buddy observe how close the trailer...

  • Longer Safety Chain Recommendation for Longer Curt Ball Mount # C45270
    Going with a longer ball mount like the Curt Class III part # C45270 which is 13 inches long will increase the clearance between the tailgate and your trailer jack. In most cases safety chains have enough extra length that it's not an issue but if you need longer safety chains we have the Curt chain part # C80031 which is 47 inches long and has a 5,000 lb capacity. For a weld on loop to install it we have the part # E950.

    For a Class III hitch I suggest the Curt # 13432. This will install on your Wrangler Unlimited as long as it is not one of the Limited Edition or Special Edition models. No drilling is needed. Temporary lowering of the exhaust for easier access to the mounting points and removal of tow hooks, if they are present, are required. The entire installation process is shown in the linked video; this shows your same year and model Jeep. For wiring, you'll start with a 4-pole harness, part # C55124,...
