Recommended Trailer Hitch Adapter To Expand Hitch On 2015 Ford C-Max
Question:
I am planning on towing a Yakima Rack and Roll trailer. Total loaded weight wll be under 350lbs My C-Max has a hitch already. I am not sure what combination which adaptor to use for towing, as some of them have a not for tow disclaimer. I already own a weigh safe ball mount I used for other towing purposes, this will provide the rise needed. Which adapter 1 1/4 to 2 inch do you recommend?

For the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" # Y08106, you will only need a 2 inch ball that you already have with your Weigh Safe adjustable ball mount. The adapter for the trailer hitch on your 2015 Ford C-Max I recommend is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 1-1/4" (Class II) to 2" - 6 Long # C45785. This will reduce your hitch receiver's tongue weight capacity by 50%. Based on the application, this should not be an issue, but this would not be wise for any larger application.
To secure your investment, I recommend the Bulldog Lifelong Trigger-Style Coupler Lock and 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Chrome # BD580404, along with # e98879.
