The Extra Long Ball Mount proved useful immediately upon receipt. Delivery was prompt, and the updates from etrailer.com helped plan transport of several bicycles, simultaneously with a camper trailer. The extended length facilitated use with a Swagman bicycle rack, also purchased via etrailer.com. The product arrived in excellent condition, with correct capacity rating, and works perfectly, and in conjunction with the bicycle rack. I recommend purchases from etrailer.
by: Matthias04/29/2016
Product is exactly as described on the etrailer.com website and measurements
and dimensions fit perfect. Easy phone order process and prompt delivery,
standard shipping arrived 3 business days after the order was placed. The
extra long version of the ball mount makes it perfect for me to put on the
bike rack while towing my horses.
by: Neil09/10/2016
This slightly longer than average bar was perfect for my application. The drop length was perfect also for the application. As usual, eTrailer's site and retail experience was first rate. Lots of info and specs (and videos) available makes it easier to get that piece of mind knowing that what you needed was what you ordered.

I no longer have the trailer or need for this draw bar. Regardless, it worked perfectly and it is stored safely away for future needs as they arise.

I ordered the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 4" Rise, 6" Drop - 14-1/4" Long - 6,000 lbs, and the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2-1/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 2,000 lbs.
Purpose was to raise the back of our 2005 Mercury hitch to better pull our home built kayak trailer. I was looking to get a better leveling position of the trailer. This 4" rise Hitch was a long shank did the trick ! VERY IMPRESSED with sales that helped me purchase the correct product. I purchase all my tires and trailer supplies from etrailer.com .......best quality, price, and support. Thank you.

Needed to extend my hitch a little farther from the vehicle and this one seems to fit the bill. I tow an AT Chaser offroad trailer behind an FJ Cruiser and need a hitch bar that can take some abuse, and I'm hoping this one stands up.

Perfect drop for my 2022 Ford Bronco.
by: Z-man06/05/2016
Fit and finish is above what I expected. If you need a class 1 or a class 2 I recommend spending a little more money and going with a class 3. You can get any size ball you need and the design is much cleaner especially if you need a high rise or low rise unit . the heavier gauge steel unit needs less intrusive back braces giving more clearance and a cleaner look.

How can a company put a twenty pound steel trailer hitch in a single wall cardboard box and expect it to get delivered without damage? This has happened with multiple orders that had heavy merchandise that broke the box and was damaged or completely missing from the broken box upon delivery. etrailer has great service and products but their shipping is absolutely awful.

This hitch was just what I needed to pull a trailer with my Polaris Ranger 570efi
by: Doug02/19/2023
Zero complaints. Ordered and received the ball mount without any problems. The mount does what I bought it to do. I will use etrailer again if I need one of their products and would strongly recommend them.
by: Scott M07/12/2019
I bought this because I needed the rise, not the drop. But, I only bought it after watching the instructional video on etrailer.com on how to measure for how much of a rise you need. When I pulled this out of the box, I thought "this is way too high" and that the video missed the mark. But imagine my surprise when I put it on my van after putting the ball on -- when I put the trailer on the ball, the trailer was dead level! Kudos to etrailer for putting up that video!
I've ordered from etrailer a few times and the service is just insanely good! Incredibly fast shipping, prices better than any other place online or in my area, expert advice when you need it and great information.

This has worn well, no chips in the paint unlike other ball mounts I have.
by: Mike R.05/19/2015
I was looking for a ball mount with a long shank so that I could mount a set of mud flaps on it. The problem I had, is that I already had one of the longest ball mounts I could find, but that did not give me the clearance I needed to mount the mud flaps. etrailer is the only place I could find this extra long ball mount. This solved my problem without having to resort to costly customization. The Customer Service is excellent as well, both before and after the sale.

by: Gary M12/12/2016
Ordered the same Drawbar with the 4 inch drop last year and decided I needed a 6 inch drop. This extra long drawbar is great and allows me to back up with the tailgate down for a much better view.

A year later and still working great!
by: John L.06/08/2017
This is almost exactly what I needed. I needed an extension to give me more clearance between the hitch ball and my Town & Country tailgate. The added length gives me just barely enough clearance as long as my vehicle and camper are on level ground. Since I couldn't afford to lose the capacity by adding an extension, I had no real option other than to buy this longer hitch.
Since it's already longer than most standard hitches, there's no reason that it couldn't be 1" or 2" inches longer. There would be little or no capacity loss by doing that.
Other than the above, it's excellent quality, doesn't rattle in the hitch receiver and does what it's supposed to do. I like etrailer, their quality, service and support. Every time I have a question, someone answers the phone and knows their products well. I could have bought this anywhere but not everyplace has this type of service.
Thanks.
by: Henry01/30/2019
I bought this one because it is longer, and I have mud flaps that attach onto the hitch. It works very well for that.

Still good, no issues
by: Ryan10/13/2022
Nice ball mount for my application. I like how it is longer to give more clearance between the trailer and my HIghlander. Convenient for tighter turns. Good quality at an affordable price.
by: It works.01/05/2014
I tried this receiver in conjunction with a trailer I am volunteering to move once a month. This ended up being a just a little too much of a drop. I can't knock the product for that. I did work well otherwise.
I liked the elongated longer receiver bar extra distance between the receiver locking pin and the drop bar to give greater clearance when towing.
by: Kathy09/05/2018
Trailer hitch arrived in excellent shape and well protected. The hitch was exactly what I ordered and I am well pleased.

Great - good product
by: Clayton H.03/05/2017
I have a 1978 Chevy K10 4x4 with a 4" lift and it has a hidden receiver hitch behind the License Plate. I thought I was going to have to have a ball mount made as I needed an extra long 8" shank to clear the rear bumper and 7500lb GVW rated. etrailer.com had just what I needed and George J. shipped it the next day (Saturday) and upgraded my shipping from 5-7 days to 3-5 days delivery with no extra charge! He also followed up to make sure I received it! I received it in 4 days and I am very impressed with the quality and thickness of the materials used to make it. It is heavy duty and pulls my fully loaded tandem axle flatbed with no problem. I highly recommend their products to anyone! Thanks George!!

Just what I needed 4 in rise. Well ma de.
by: Paul S.08/11/2016
This long-shaft ball mount enabled me to fully insert and pin the shaft and get the rise I needed for towing level a Yakima Trailer by a 2015 Honda Odyssey. The typical, shorter shaft was not long enough for complete insertion and pinning of the shaft because the welded on arm-support piece hit the bumper.
by: Dennis A07/25/2013
I needed a hitch with a sizeable drop and an extra long shaft, so I knew that etrailer would be my best option. When I ordered my new hitch on a Saturday, the system said that it would be processed and shipped within 48 hours. Then I got a an email from Scott at etrailer who said he took care of the shipping on Saturday! It arrived on Wednesday exactly as ordered. It is a substantial, well constructed hitch for a very reasonable price. I'm a repeat etrailer customer, and will order again.
by: Skip K11/05/2014
Item is exactly as described- well built and nicely finished. What more is there to say about the ball mount? It fits and works exactly as it should. Price was good too.
Shipped fast, too. Very pleased with transaction.
I got the extended bar to clear a spare tire. With the extended bar, just make sure your trailer safety chains and plug are long enough to reach.
by: Kevin09/11/2014
It fits tight with no rattle and extends about 4" passed what I was using. Obviously, you'll need to buy a separate ball. My only issue was the box it came in. Etrailer needs to pack heavy items with a more padding. The hitch ripped through one side of the box but it wasn't damaged. Delivery was very fast.

- Recommended Hitch for 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350We do have a hitch that fits the 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTEC, unless it has the Active Curve anti-rollover system. If your vehicle doesn't have that system, you'd use the Draw-Tite # 76141. If it does have the Active Curve system, unfortunately we don't have a compatible hitch. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a wiring harness like part # 119250KIT, a ball mount like part # D-28, a # PC3 hitch pin and either # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch hitch...

You also state that you have a 2” receiver. I will offer a ball mount solution for either size receiver. For a 2” receiver you can use the 13-1/4” long Brophy # BM20 with 2” drop, or the 14-1/4” long Curt # D-28 with 6” drop. For a 2-1/2” receiver you can use the 12-1/4” long Convert-A-Ball # AMSCV-6 with 6” drop, or the 10-1/2” long Draw-Tite # 45291 with a 7-3/4” drop, or the 13-1/4”...

If you'll be doing some light duty towing with the hitch, it has a 2000 lb towing/300 lb tongue weight capacity. You'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118405, a ball mount like # D-28 and a # PC3 hitch pin and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a couple of other items to complete your towing system. For a trailer wiring harness, use # C56434. For a ball mount, use # D-28 and a # PC3 hitch pin. For a trailer ball, use # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. I've linked to installation videos for the hitch and wiring harness.

If your Crosstrek is equipped with the knock-out panel in the rear bumper panel, and you'd like a partially concealed hitch that mounts behind the bumper with only the receiver tube and safety chain loops being visible, I'd recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7203.

- Does Bumper Fascia Need Trimming To Install Curt C13269 Class III Hitch On 2015 Jeep RenegadeAs you can see in the provided photo, the hitch sits far enough below the bumper that no trimming is required. If you'll be using the hitch for towing a trailer, you'll need a few other parts. For a trailer wiring harness, use part # 118651. For a ballmount, use # D-28 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball or # 63845 for a 2 inch. I've linked to the install video showing the Curt # C13269 hitch being installed on a 2015 Renegade, and also to a video for the trailer wiring harness....

- Ball Mount Recommendation for 2016 Toyota RAV4 HybridThe Draw-Tite # 2753 will give you just shy of 3 inches of rise. The next step up from that as far as rise goes would be the Curt # D-28 which would give you 4 inches. You'd also need a # PC3 hitch pin. For almost 5 inches of rise, use the Draw-Tite # 40346 along with the same hitch pin. Keep in mind that the hitch and the trailer coupler height do not need to be exactly the same, but the closer you can get, the better. If you can get within 1-2 inches, that's plenty close enough.
view full answer... - Do Longer Hitch Extenders Reduce Hitch CapacityThere isn't a 100% direct mathematical relationship I'm aware of but yes, the further rearward you go from the hitch receiver, the lower the tongue weight capacity gets. Which is why extenders typically will reduce a trailer hitch's capacity by at least half or more. The same doesn't hold true for a longer ball mount, because it's a single piece and not an add-on like an extender. I'm assuming you have a 2 inch class III receiver on your 2012 Outback. I'm not sure what kind of rise/drop...

If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118300, a ball mount like # D-28 a hitch pin like # PC3 and a # 19260...

If you do have the tow package, the connections are located under the vehicle on the driver's side just forward of the bumper. If you don't have the tow package, the taillight wiring harness would plug inline between the vehicle's taillight wiring harness and the...

This Curt hitch will have plenty of strength to haul your 800lb motorcycle and trailer. It will fit a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk or Non-Trailhawk version. If you have the factory tow package all you need is this trailer connector # HM40975-11933 but if you to not, you will need this vehicle wiring harness # 118605. You'll need a ball mount to haul your trailer. I would say a 4 inch rise ball mount # D-28 would counteract...

For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 40038 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. If you have an Outlander Sport, the Curt # C13079 fits all 2021 Outlander Sport models except for the PHEV. For a trailer wiring harness, use # TK67VR. You'd use the same ball mount...

The # D-28 has a very long shank which will give you enough room for the bike rack to install onto it. It measures 8-1/4 inches from the pin hole to the ball platform bracket.

The # 118252 is a factory replacement, which means it's a replacment for a damaged factory connector and will only work if your vehicle arrived from the factory with a 4 pole trailer connector. If it did not have a factory connector, you'll need the # C56217. Unfortunately, it's not just a matter of adding a fuse or relay to activate the tow package wiring so the # 118252 will work....

Because the muffler on your vehicle is very large and is positioned at the center of the vehicle, it'll need to be temporarily lowered as shown in the linked install video. It will be very difficult to lower the muffler without the rear of the vehicle being raised, so I'd recommend using a set of ramps such as # FT11909MI to provide some room under the rear of the vehicle.

First you would measure from the ground up to the top of the receiver opening on the trailer hitch. Then, with the trailer level, measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the trailer is higher the difference is the amount of rise you will need. And if the vehicle is higher the difference is the amount of drop you would need. On the 2007 Honda...
