Draw-Tite Ball Mount Review 40343 Video

I went out to our warehouse to take a couple measurements on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver #75528 that you referenced. I measured a distance between the bolt holes on the left and right side brackets to be right at 43-1/4 inches, on…

There 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…

We sure do. You will need the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches #RHK. Follow that link and you can input your hitch information and vehicle and it will give you the Replacement Hardware you need to get you going. For example if you have…

I have attached a picture of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item #C99FR installed on a 2022 Toyota Highlander XLE. This Highlander has the 235/65R/18 wheel and tires. You will be able to see what a tight fit the spare tire has between the hitch…

I recommend installing the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack on your 2023 Toyota Highlander with the clean/naked roof. I prefer to use the Thule as they utilize a channel mount in which you do not have to cut the rubber strips to use channel mounted…

I am sorry, but the Curt Ball Mount with Sway Control Bracket, part #D320, is only offered with the sway control bracket on the right side. We do offer a Sway Control Tab, part #3442, that you can weld onto a ball mount. Or, we also offer a Sway…

It sounds like you are definitely on the right track. On a 2014 GMC Acadia The plug for the wiring harness #C56245 should be behind a trim panel behind the passenger side wheel. Sometimes locating these plugs can be tricky, and vehicle manufacturers…

Although it makes it much easier to install the hitch when the vehicle is lifted, it can be done with your 2015 Sienna on ramps as you said. It just may be a little cramped. You want to make sure your Sienna wheels are chocked and you have the…

Going from an 8 inch long ball mount shank to a 12 inch long one like the part #D-26 won't make any noticeable changes in handling. It might be somewhat easier to back the trailer up as you basically have increased the length between the trailer…

As long as you stay under the weight capacity of the Curt ball mount part #D-26 it's capacity would not be diminished at all. It was rated for 7,500 lbs trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight. The extra length does make it seem like it would be…

A longer ball mount such as #D-26 will not lower your tongue weight capacity, because it's a single piece. Adding an extender introduces an additional component between the hitch and the load, which allows extra bounce and movement. Those forces,…
