Expert Reply:
What you can do is use a secondary bracket, like # C57202 for a long one, or # 18140 for a shorter one. These both attach to the cross tube of the trailer hitch. You would then attach the Pollak Mounting Bracket # PK12711U to the end. I have included a link to a video showing how the secondary bracket attaches to the hitch cross tube.
