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.

Everything is still performing well and in good condition. Thanks for checking.



by:

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:

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.

by:

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:

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.



by:

Perfect drop for my 2022 Ford Bronco.



by:

This hitch was just what I needed to pull a trailer with my Polaris Ranger 570efi



by:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

A year later and still working great!



by:

Fits me receiver nicely



by:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

Just what I needed 4 in rise. Well ma de.



by:

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:

Love it. Perfect fit for front mount hitch application on 2013 Tundra. Matches back hitch height.



by:

It fits tight with no rattle and extends about 4" passed what I was using. Obviously, you'll need to buy a separate ball. My only issue was the box it came in. Etrailer needs to pack heavy items with a more padding. The hitch ripped through one side of the box but it wasn't damaged. Delivery was very fast.



by:

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.

  • Can a High/Low Adapter be Used with a Hitch Extender for Flat Towing
    I do have a solution for you, but using an extender with a high-low adapter would be using 2 adapters and is not advisable. Hitch extenders reduce the weight rating of your hitch by 50% and will also cause more movement not to mention the torque that will be on both adapters when you are making a turn. Instead what you can do is swap out your current hitch mount tow bar, like the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 for a coupler mount tow bar like the Blue Ox Acclaim # BX4330. This allows you to then...

  • Determining Correct Ball Mount for 2007 Honda Odyssey to Tow Pop Up Camper
    The way to determine the correct amount of rise (or drop) needed to tow a trailer level there are a couple of measurements needed. First you would measure from the ground up to the top of the receiver opening on the trailer hitch. Then, with the trailer level, measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the trailer is higher the difference is the amount of rise you will need. And if the vehicle is higher the difference is the amount of drop you would need. On the 2007 Honda...

  • Class III Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Toyota RAV4
    The EcoHitch # EH97FR that you'd looked at is a Class III with a 2 inch receiver opening. This hitch is pretty expensive because it's constructed of an alloy that combines steel, aluminum and stainless steel, much of which has been recycled. The hitch is a concealed design which means that the only portion of the hitch that's visible from the rear is the receiver tube and the safety chain hooks, as opposed to older hitch designs where the entire hitch including the crossbar would be visible.

  • Concealed Trailer Hitch With Maximum Ground Clearance/Trailer Wiring Harness for 2020 Toyota Sienna
    I'd be happy to help with that. Let's begin with the hitch. For the most concealment/ground clearance I'd recommend the Curt class III hitch, part # C13343. This hitch will be mostly concealed, with the crossbar being hidden behind the bumper/fascia. The only visible portion of the hitch will be the receiver tube and the safety chain loops. For a 4-pole trailer wiring harness, I'd recommend the Tekonsha # 118648. You'll also need a ball mount. The average leveled height of a trailer...

    I have two different hitches I'd recommend for towing a small kayak trailer with your 2015 Honda Fit. For a standard Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, I'd recommend the # 24920 Draw-Tite hitch you'd looked at. This is a standard hitch that would be fully visible once installed. If you go this route, you'll also need a ball mount like # 3593, along with a # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. If you'd prefer a hitch with the more prevalent...

  • Differences Between Curt Trailer Hitches for 2022 Ford Escape

I'd recommend the Curt # CU94FR. The Curt Class III # C13427 hitch is also a fit for the 2021 model. For a ball mount, I'd recommend part # D-28 and the # PC3 hitch pin.

    From my research, I found that the 2011 Honda Odyssey has a 3500 lb towing capacity, so it will be able to handle the trailer and load you describe. You might be fine without a transmission cooler for shorter trips on flat terrain, but I'd honestly suggest going with a cooler anyway, especially as the owner's manual recommends adding one to achieve the 3500 lb towing capacity.
