Ball Mount and Hitch Ball for Towing Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 with 2006 Honda CR-V
Question:
Hi, I looking for a proper hitch setup to tow the Yakima Rack n Roll trailer. I have a 06 Honda CRV with a 2inch 2x2 hitch installed. I measured the distance from the center pin to ground to be around 12-1/4. The manual in the Rack n Roll recommend a 22inch height. Can you recommend the right setup i.e. ball mount, hitch ball, etc. to properly tow the trailer? Please recommend all necessary items locks, pins, etc.. Thanks.

To even out the height difference between your CR-V's hitch opening and the coupler on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 you will need a ball mount with rise, or height increase, as described in the linked article.
Based on your measurement you will want a 2-inch ball mount with about 10-inches of rise.
We offer Hidden Hitch ball mount # 80248 that will fit your 2-inch hitch and provide 9-3/4-inches of rise. You can use anti-rattle lock # 63232 to stabilize and lock the ball mount in your hitch. For a 2-inch hitch ball you can use # 63845.
