- With the Curt trailer hitch part # C11020 installed on your 2014 Smart fortwo the correct ball mount is the part # C45014. Then for a hitch ball you'd want the part # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
view full answer... - Recommendation for Most Secure Trailer Coupler Lock
- The more secure coupler locks we offer are designed for be used when the trailer isn't hitched to the vehicle. They're designed to prevent the coupler from being hitched to a trailer ball, like # FA86-0015-305.

view full answer... - Recommended Tow Bar for 2015 Smart ForTwo
- The # 52285-1 base plate kit is compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars. I'd recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2, part # RM-520. The Falcon 2 features a self-aligning design that would make hooking up your ForTwo easy without the need to have the car perfectly lined up behind the motorhome. The Falcon 2 actually includes the crossbar and quick disconnects that comprise part # 910021-00, so you wouldn't need to purchase those separately.
