Trailer Hitch for 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Limited
We do indeed offer Class III receiver hitches for the 2001 Mitsubishi Montero and Montero Sport (two distinctly different vehicles). For the 2001 Montero, use the Curt Class # C13800 III hitch. If you'll be towing with the hitch you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # C55380 a ball mount like # C45010 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball. For the 2001 Montero Sport, you'd use the Curt Class III, part # 13223. For trailer wiring, use # 119178KIT and the...

Trailer Lights Not Working Using Optronics Trailer Light Kit # TL29BK On 1995 Mitsubishi Montero
Since you have tested the vehicle side connector and they work correctly, you have eliminated the vehicle side as being the problem. So you will want to check the trailer wiring and the ground connections on the trailer. The Peterson M545 trailer wiring kit you have mentioned uses a wishbone harness like the Optronics Standard Trailer Light Kit # TL29BK that we sell. This means it will have 5 wires coming out of the back of the 4-pole connector. That might be why it looks like it does...

Will the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # 13091 fit My 1990 Mitsubishi Montero
I do have a trailer hitch for your 1990 Mitsubishi Montero, but I spoke with my contact at Curt and he confirmed that the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # 13091, was designed to fit only the 1992 to 2000 Mitsubishi Montero except the sport model. The recommended trailer hitch for your 1990 Montero is the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch, # C12181.

Bow Stop with 7 Inch Long Span and 4 Inch Wide Base
I do have the y-style bow stop in the size you need but it is not offered in the thermal-plasticized rubber (non-marking). Instead you will want to use the Yates Y-Style Bow Stop part # YR7Y44-4 which has a 7" span and 4" base (see photo). The bow stop is made of a similar heavy-dry rubber that does have the tendency to leave marks. Unfortunately, this is the only option we have for you. I have attached a review video on the bow stop for you as well.

Support Straps for Hitch Bike Rack Used in Hitch Adapter
You are correct that using a hitch adapter such as the Malone # MPG544 will cut your hitch's capacity in half, down to 200-lbs tongue weight. Your bike and carrier combined weight of approximately 198-lbs is within this reduced limit but I do recommend you add support straps to both help support and steady the loaded rack while you're traveling. The Montero's roof gives you good tie down points for a couple of straps like # 18050 or # E98876. I recommend using two so that both ends of...

Will Hardware of Curt Roof Basket # C18115 Extend Above Floor Level of Basket
If you look at the photo I have edited for you, you can see that the ends of the U-bolts and thumbscrews used to secure the Curt # C18115 basket to the vehicle crossbars can indeed extend up above the floor level of the basket. The thicker the crossbars, the less the ends of the U-bolt will extend upward. This is inherent in the design of the basket. Keep in mind, the photo shows the basket assembled, but NOT installed on any crossbars. Since the Yakima round crossbars are 1-1/8 inches...
