Ball Mount Recommendations for 2003 Buick Century
Question:
What is the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on trailer hitch part #36374 when installed on a 2003 Buick Century? Your website says I need to know this in order to order the correct ball mount, but gives no information on what that height might be.

Expert Reply:
When installed, the top of the receiver will be approximately 12-1/2 inches above the ground.
The Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch, item # 36374, for your 2003 Buick Century is designed to be used with the # 36061 ball mount in the rise position only. The manufacturer has done testing to ensure weight capacity and safety are kept within hitch limits. If your trailer would require a significantly higher or lower ball mount then you should probably not pull that trailer with this vehicle.
The Class 2 ball mount, # 36061 has a rise of 3-1/8 inches and includes the pin and clip.
We have an installation video that your might find helpful, I will provide a link to it.
