The Extra Long Ball Mount proved useful immediately upon receipt. Delivery was prompt, and the updates from etrailer.com helped plan transport of several bicycles, simultaneously with a camper trailer. The extended length facilitated use with a Swagman bicycle rack, also purchased via etrailer.com. The product arrived in excellent condition, with correct capacity rating, and works perfectly, and in conjunction with the bicycle rack. I recommend purchases from etrailer.

This slightly longer than average bar was perfect for my application. The drop length was perfect also for the application. As usual, eTrailer's site and retail experience was first rate. Lots of info and specs (and videos) available makes it easier to get that piece of mind knowing that what you needed was what you ordered.

I no longer have the trailer or need for this draw bar. Regardless, it worked perfectly and it is stored safely away for future needs as they arise.
by: Matthias04/29/2016
Product is exactly as described on the etrailer.com website and measurements
and dimensions fit perfect. Easy phone order process and prompt delivery,
standard shipping arrived 3 business days after the order was placed. The
extra long version of the ball mount makes it perfect for me to put on the
bike rack while towing my horses.

I ordered the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 4" Rise, 6" Drop - 14-1/4" Long - 6,000 lbs, and the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2-1/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 2,000 lbs.
Purpose was to raise the back of our 2005 Mercury hitch to better pull our home built kayak trailer. I was looking to get a better leveling position of the trailer. This 4" rise Hitch was a long shank did the trick ! VERY IMPRESSED with sales that helped me purchase the correct product. I purchase all my tires and trailer supplies from etrailer.com .......best quality, price, and support. Thank you.

Needed to extend my hitch a little farther from the vehicle and this one seems to fit the bill. I tow an AT Chaser offroad trailer behind an FJ Cruiser and need a hitch bar that can take some abuse, and I'm hoping this one stands up.
by: Z-man06/05/2016
Fit and finish is above what I expected. If you need a class 1 or a class 2 I recommend spending a little more money and going with a class 3. You can get any size ball you need and the design is much cleaner especially if you need a high rise or low rise unit . the heavier gauge steel unit needs less intrusive back braces giving more clearance and a cleaner look.

How can a company put a twenty pound steel trailer hitch in a single wall cardboard box and expect it to get delivered without damage? This has happened with multiple orders that had heavy merchandise that broke the box and was damaged or completely missing from the broken box upon delivery. etrailer has great service and products but their shipping is absolutely awful.
by: Scott M07/12/2019
I bought this because I needed the rise, not the drop. But, I only bought it after watching the instructional video on etrailer.com on how to measure for how much of a rise you need. When I pulled this out of the box, I thought "this is way too high" and that the video missed the mark. But imagine my surprise when I put it on my van after putting the ball on -- when I put the trailer on the ball, the trailer was dead level! Kudos to etrailer for putting up that video!
I've ordered from etrailer a few times and the service is just insanely good! Incredibly fast shipping, prices better than any other place online or in my area, expert advice when you need it and great information.

This has worn well, no chips in the paint unlike other ball mounts I have.
by: Mike R.05/19/2015
I was looking for a ball mount with a long shank so that I could mount a set of mud flaps on it. The problem I had, is that I already had one of the longest ball mounts I could find, but that did not give me the clearance I needed to mount the mud flaps. etrailer is the only place I could find this extra long ball mount. This solved my problem without having to resort to costly customization. The Customer Service is excellent as well, both before and after the sale.

I am very satisfied with my purchases. They continue to perform as needed.
by: Doug02/19/2023
Zero complaints. Ordered and received the ball mount without any problems. The mount does what I bought it to do. I will use etrailer again if I need one of their products and would strongly recommend them.
by: Gary M12/12/2016
Ordered the same Drawbar with the 4 inch drop last year and decided I needed a 6 inch drop. This extra long drawbar is great and allows me to back up with the tailgate down for a much better view.

Fits me receiver nicely
by: John L.06/08/2017
This is almost exactly what I needed. I needed an extension to give me more clearance between the hitch ball and my Town & Country tailgate. The added length gives me just barely enough clearance as long as my vehicle and camper are on level ground. Since I couldn't afford to lose the capacity by adding an extension, I had no real option other than to buy this longer hitch.
Since it's already longer than most standard hitches, there's no reason that it couldn't be 1" or 2" inches longer. There would be little or no capacity loss by doing that.
Other than the above, it's excellent quality, doesn't rattle in the hitch receiver and does what it's supposed to do. I like etrailer, their quality, service and support. Every time I have a question, someone answers the phone and knows their products well. I could have bought this anywhere but not everyplace has this type of service.
Thanks.
by: Henry01/30/2019
I bought this one because it is longer, and I have mud flaps that attach onto the hitch. It works very well for that.

Great - good product
by: It works.01/05/2014
I tried this receiver in conjunction with a trailer I am volunteering to move once a month. This ended up being a just a little too much of a drop. I can't knock the product for that. I did work well otherwise.
I liked the elongated longer receiver bar extra distance between the receiver locking pin and the drop bar to give greater clearance when towing.
by: Clayton H.03/05/2017
I have a 1978 Chevy K10 4x4 with a 4" lift and it has a hidden receiver hitch behind the License Plate. I thought I was going to have to have a ball mount made as I needed an extra long 8" shank to clear the rear bumper and 7500lb GVW rated. etrailer.com had just what I needed and George J. shipped it the next day (Saturday) and upgraded my shipping from 5-7 days to 3-5 days delivery with no extra charge! He also followed up to make sure I received it! I received it in 4 days and I am very impressed with the quality and thickness of the materials used to make it. It is heavy duty and pulls my fully loaded tandem axle flatbed with no problem. I highly recommend their products to anyone! Thanks George!!
by: Ryan10/13/2022
Nice ball mount for my application. I like how it is longer to give more clearance between the trailer and my HIghlander. Convenient for tighter turns. Good quality at an affordable price.
by: Albert07/16/2023
Just what I needed 4 in rise. Well ma de.
by: Paul S.08/11/2016
This long-shaft ball mount enabled me to fully insert and pin the shaft and get the rise I needed for towing level a Yakima Trailer by a 2015 Honda Odyssey. The typical, shorter shaft was not long enough for complete insertion and pinning of the shaft because the welded on arm-support piece hit the bumper.
by: Jeff12/27/2021
Love it. Perfect fit for front mount hitch application on 2013 Tundra. Matches back hitch height.
by: Dennis A07/25/2013
I needed a hitch with a sizeable drop and an extra long shaft, so I knew that etrailer would be my best option. When I ordered my new hitch on a Saturday, the system said that it would be processed and shipped within 48 hours. Then I got a an email from Scott at etrailer who said he took care of the shipping on Saturday! It arrived on Wednesday exactly as ordered. It is a substantial, well constructed hitch for a very reasonable price. I'm a repeat etrailer customer, and will order again.
by: Skip K11/05/2014
Item is exactly as described- well built and nicely finished. What more is there to say about the ball mount? It fits and works exactly as it should. Price was good too.
Shipped fast, too. Very pleased with transaction.
I got the extended bar to clear a spare tire. With the extended bar, just make sure your trailer safety chains and plug are long enough to reach.

- 2-Inch Hitch Ball Recommendation for Use With Hidden Hitch Ball Mount D-28You will need to select a 2-inch hitch ball with a 1-inch diameter medium-length shank for use with Hidden Hitch Ball Mount # D-28. You can use Tow Ready 2-inch hitch ball # 63845. This ball has a 1-inch diameter shank of 2-1/8-inches in length and a rated capacity of 7500-lbs. I have linked brief review videos for this ball mount and hitch ball. If you wish to secure your ball mount to your hitch receiver we offer locks to do so, such as the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock...

Please call our customer service folks at 800-298-8924 for details and to set up an appointment. For a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III, part # C13405 that you'd looked at. This is a partially concealed hitch, the only portion of the hitch that will be visible is the receiver tube and the safety chain loops. The remainder of the hitch will be hidden behind the bumper/fascia as shown in the provided photo. For...

- Longer Ball Mount Recommendation with 6 inch Drop for Towtector Mud FlapThe TowTector is very similar to our RockTamer mudflaps like the part # ERT00108. These require a longer shank ball mount so that they can attach. For that we have the Curt ball mount # D-28 which is 14-1/4 inches long and has a 6 inch drop. It only has a 6k capacity though. For a somewhat shorter ball mount that's similar we have the Curt # C45240 which does have a 7,500 lb capacity and is 12-1/4 inches long from pin hole to ball hole center.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2012 Kia Sportage SXWe'd be happy to help! Although the Draw-Tite # 75717 would fit for you, we'd recommend going with a US made product like the etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e84KR. The hitch is compatible with the SX trim. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # C56251. For a ball mount, use # D-28 and for a trailer ball, use # 40038 for a 2 inch ball or # C40002 for a 1-7/8 inch ball. I've linked to some install videos that you might find helpful.
view full answer... - Recommended Helper Springs for 2016 Dodge Grand CaravanIf you're looking to improve your ride quality and reduce the rear-end sag experienced when towing, a set of Coil-Rite air helper springs like # F4169 offered by Firestone would install inside your existing coil springs and would offer additional support. An air helper spring will allow you to adjust the rear suspension according to how much trailer tongue weight or how much cargo in the rear of the vehicle is being applied to the rear suspension of the Grand Caravan. If you don't yet...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Toyota HighlanderFor your 2017 Toyota Highlander the best hitch option is the Draw Tite # DT65MR as it has the best capacity and has a great price. Hitch installs are pretty basic for qualified mechanics. The best advice I can give would be to find a local mechanic to you with a good reputation and let them install it. I attached an install video as well for you to check out to see if you might be able to tackle it yourself.
view full answer... - Extended Ball Mount For Towing an Enclosed Trailer Behind a MotorhomeI have a couple options for you as the Curt High-Low Adapter 45797 # C27KR is only designed to be used with tow bars when flat towing. The Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2-5/16" Ball # C45065 is only 9-1/4" long from the receiver hitch pin hole to the ball mount hole. The Curt Ball Mount # D-28 also has a 6" drop like the other Curt ball mount but this mount is 14-1/4" long from the receiver pin to ball mount hole. That would gain you 5 inches without using an adapter. The ball mount...

All three hitches have identical towing/tongue weight capacities of 3500/525 lbs. The Curt and the etrailer brand are nearly identical, with the only difference between the two is the finish, the etrailer brand hitch has a matte finish while the Curt hitch finish is glossy. Given the choice between the three, I'd personally choose the Draw-Tite...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount with 4 Rise and Extended ShankThe longest fixed ball mount we offer with a 4" rise is the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # D-28 which measures 14-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. If this will not work you will need a hitch extender, the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers part # C45791 but keep in mind this will reduce your hitch capacity by 50%. If you go with the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # D-28, you'll also need the 2" Hitch Ball part # 63845.

These measurements can be different on each vehicle depending on the brand of trailer hitch that you have installed and the size of the spare tire on your Jeep.

- Dimensions of the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack JET-5000From the center of the tube to the furthest part of the motor housing on the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack item # JET-5000 measures right at 5-3/4". The distance from the mounting bracket to the top of the jack is 23". This jack would clear a tailgate if the measured distance from the back of the tailgate to the jack mounting point on the trailer was 24", which gives 1" of clearance. It can not be mounted at 90 degrees. No electric jack like this can. If you are worried about...
view full answer... - Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for Hitch on 2011 Ford EdgeSounds like you need an anti-rattle device for the hitch you have installed on your 2011 Ford Edge. If you have a 2 inch hitch you would want the part # 63232 that also doubles as a hitch lock. If the ball mount you have is the part # D-28 that you referenced this would be the correct anti-rattle device.

The sensors under the center portion of the bumper will be blocked by the hitch receiver opening, but the areas to the left and right will still work, as shown in the photo I've provided for you. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing setup. If your Edge...

- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 GMC Terrain DeniliThe opening in the rear bumper fascia is for the OEM hitch available from GM. The aftermarket hitches we offer for that vehicle, such as the Curt # C77FR would install so the receiver tube sits directly under the bumper, as shown in the provided photo.

I've linked to the installation video for the Curt hitch I recommended. I prefer...

- How to Prevent a 12 Inch Receiver Hitch Extension From Rattling in ReceiverAdding an extension introduces another component in between the receiver and the ballmount or hitch accessory. Because of this, getting a certain amount of wobble is unavoidable. If you're using the extension for a hitch mounted accessory, you can use an anti-rattle device like part # BX88224. However, keep in mind that using an extender will lower the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. If you'll be towing, you'd be better off using a longer ball mount, if the longer...
view full answer... - Availability Of 12" Long Ball Mount With 1-1/4" Hitch Ball Hole And 3" RiseI have an option that may work for you, but we do not have a ball mount with 4" rise, a 1-1/4" shank hole, and is 13" - 14-1/2" long. The closest option we have is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 3" Rise, 4" Drop - 12" Long - 12,000 lbs # 4285 which is 12" long and has a 3" rise. For this option you would use 2-5/16" hitch ball # BWHB94003 which has a 3-1/4" long shank and has a 1" rise to get you back up to 4" total rise. If your new trailer is under 6000lbs I recommend is...

- Recommend Ball Mount To Clear Rear Bumper of 2008 Toyota SiennaWe do have a ball mount that should work well for your towing setup, but, the item you referenced, Forged Ball Mount, part # 40332, will not provide the 7 inches of clearance from the pin hole to the edge of the bumper. The item you selected, Titan Ball Mount, part # 45291, cannot be used in the rise position, so it will not work for your towing setup either. A good solution to provide rise to keep your trailer fairly level when towing and to clear your rear bumper would be the Curt...

If you attempted to install it on a non-Trailhawk model the bumper would get in the way and prevent you from installing it. For a non-Trailhawk 2018 Jeep Cherokee, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13172. When installed, the hitch will be mostly concealed behind the bumper with the only visible portions of the hitch being the square receiver tube and the safety chain hoops. The installation...

- Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Lexus RX350There are two different Tekonsha 4 pole options for the 2015 Lexus RX350, the # 118255 or the # 118252. The # 118252 is a factory replacement, which means it's a replacment for a damaged factory connector and will only work if your vehicle arrived from the factory with a 4 pole trailer connector. If it did not have a factory connector, you'll need the # C56217. Unfortunately, it's not just a matter of adding a fuse or relay to activate the tow package wiring so the # 118252 will work....

If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a # C55355 trailer wiring harness, a # D-28 ball mount with a # PC3 hitch pin and # 40038 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

- Will Back Up Sensors on 2016 Toyota Sienna Need to Be Disabled When TowingActually, you really shouldn't need to do anything with the sensors because they'll only activate when the vehicle is in reverse. If you find that having them sound while your backing is annoying, you can install a switch such as # 37212595 inline with the power circuit feeding the sensors so you can turn them on and off as needed. You'll need to trace the sensor wires from the bumper, and locate which wire in their harness carries power. Install the leads for the switch inline on that...

The distance from the center of the pin hole to the center of the ball hole is 14-1/4 inches. In order to maintain the structural integrity of the ball mount, making modifications like drilling a new hole is strongly discouraged and all warranties would be void.
