I used this on a 2014 Ford Fusion with a Reese receiver hitch made for my vehicle. Either the neck of the drop hitch is not long enough to get the ball a few inches away from the vehicle or the Reese receiver hitch sits too far under the vehicle.

Website was easy to use and order. Tracking the package was simple to follow and package arrived on schedule. Part works great

My complaint here is not with etrailer but with Curt. I put a Curt hitch on my Hyundai Sonata, perfect fit but because the Sonata is so low, the receiver is only 10" off the ground. I initially ordered a 5-3/8" rise drawbar but it did not have a long enough bar for the vertical portion to clear the bumper. I am having to use one with a longer bar but the rise is only 2-5/8" which put the trailer tongue lower than it should be. Curt designed the hitch for this low vehicle, they should make the 5-3/8" rise drawbar with a longer bar. etrailer knows their stuff and this is the only solution. The small single axel utility trailer I will be pulling will be lightly loaded so it will work OK but it will be angled down more than it should be. etrailer was super about swapping it out for me.

Fair. I shorten the chains as much as possible but they still drag some.
by: Scott07/24/2017
This product came exactly as described and is the perfect fit for my hitch to allow me to pull a trailer.
by: Philip10/15/2018
Draw bar arrived sooner that expected and was packaged great for the weight. My current draw bar was not low enough for the trailer and this bar drops the trailer down to a great working and traveling height.

Seams to be a nice piece

This product works great on my Mountaineer. With the 6" drop, my trailer rides level. The service was great, and the entire process was simple start to finish.
by: Marten05/30/2019
Perfect fit. Gave me the right amount of rise to get past the bumper and up to level out my trailer.
by: Brad K06/29/2020
This see's a lot of action for a small hitch on my Jeep and it has held up very well. Durable and well built.
The drop down distance is just right for my trailer to sit level.

So Ive had this for a year now and absolutely no issues. It gets put in and out regularly to tow my utility trailer with my Jeep Wrangler TJ. its the right down distance for keeping my trailer level due to the lift on my jeep. I still recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a down or if needed flip it to raise it Great product and Im still glad I purchased it.
by: Christopher12/28/2022
I flip it and use it to get the hitch level with the trailer and it works great
by: MRO03/09/2017
As advertised at a good price. I need the drop down for my Ford Explorer,
as the hitch receptacle on the bumper is too high for my trailer to be level
without the drop.
Works well.............

Great product, have it on our 2014 Forester, using it as a bumper guard-for those people that pull in too close in parking lots and get against your car. I have the rise UP and then mounted two LED lights to the rise, connected to trailer light socket for extra turn signal lights and brake lights. Really shows up great.
by: spokexx09/07/2015
These are the final 2 pieces that i needed to hook up a trailer to my Subaru Impreza. A year ago i bought the hitch and a bike rack from eTrailer (both of which work excellent together). The ball and drawbar went together easy and fit perfect in the hitch. The drawbar in the raised position puts the trailer almost at a perfect level.

I have purchased other products from your company in the past and not only find the products high quality but the shopping experience is superior. Very fast shipping and constant updates on the items expected arrival date. Thanks so much.
by: Jason03/19/2021
No quality or ordering issues. The shank was shorter than what I am used to, and that makes for a tight fit against the bumper...I could wish for more clarity on the description about that as well as multiple options for a length, but that may be on me for not researching more thoroughly

Still working great… I am now glad for the slim profile so I don’t bang my shins on it when I walk around the back of the car
by: Christopher01/22/2021
I’m not sure if my receiver is Mis-sized or this Ball mount. I had to grind down the mounting shaft to get it to fit in my receiver which is a draw tight 1 1/4 x 1 1/4. Additionally, the lock pin hole is place so tight to the minimum requirement for the receiver that the ball mount actually damaged my bumper trying to get the lock pin could fit through ( my fault for being optimistic). Could you not give this product another half inch of shaft length? Check the specs before you order this product. I was so disappointed after waiting to receive this but, not only did it not work, but it also damage my vehicle upon installation. I’m not a complainer just thinking… Wow this is such a minimalist product. Do your research with full specs before you purchase this product.

E-trailer has excellent customer service! We ordered several pieces to install a trailer hitch on my Honda Fit and accidentally ordered an incompatible piece. Karla from Etrailer called me the following day to notify me of the incompatibility of the parts and suggested the correct one. Hitch is now installed and works perfectly!

etrailer provided me with enough information to guide me to purchase my 6 inch drop bar for my 2017 Outback with a 1.25 hitch. Excellent service and best price I researched. Great online company.

Bought two hitch mounts and a tie-down strap. Quality of all is outstanding but, even better, the service was fantastic. The three items arrived 2 days after I ordered them. I did not have to pay anything for shipping. Before ordering them I asked a couple online questions and the answers came quickly, within a couple hours. Highly recommend etrailer.com.

Just what I needed to level my kayak trailer behind my Prius after I put larger wheels on the trailer. Fit my hitch receiver perfectly.

No more jury rigging or adapters! This will allow me to pull my ATVs to a campsite on a trailer THEN pull the trailer around the campsite with my ATV! Great for gathering firewood, moving inflatable boats, etc.. Very well made and looks great.

this product is great quality, it was exactly what I need to level my trailer after hooking it up to my 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Is the Hitch Receivers Tongue Weight Capacity Affected By the Rise and Drop of a Ball Mount?The hitch capacity and tongue weight is not affected by the drop and rise of a ball mount or shank. For your 2020 Hyundai Sonata we have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C23HR. This is a custom fit hitch that will attach to your Sonata with included hardware and requires no drilling or welding of your frame. To address the almost 6" rise you said you were needing I recommend the Curt Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches item # C45028. This ball mount has a rise of 5 3/8". If you need a hitch...
view full answer... - How to Carry 300 lb Motorcycle with 2007 Nissan AltimaThe only hitch we offer for your 2007 Altima is a Class I hitch, which has a 2000 lb towing/ 200 lb tongue weight (the maximum amount of weight that can be suspended from the hitch) capacity. Using an adapter would lower the tongue weight capacity by half. It's a matter of the structure of the vehicle where the hitch attaches not being strong enough. Attempting to carry that kind of tongue weight would most likely result in the fasteners tearing out of the vehicle and the loss of the hitch...

The reason other shanks may have a different rise is because it may have a different Class rating. I also pulled this drawbar from our warehouse and made a short video and diagram for you. Please note you can only use Class-I rated crossbars because your 1998 Volkswagen Cabrio only works with Class-I hitches. The two other...

- How to Carry Thule Tepui Rooftop Tent with 2017 Mazda CX-3Thank you for reaching out! For your application we need to look at an alternative to a roof rack on your 2017 Mazda CX-3 because the Thule Tepui Explorer Ayer 2 Rooftop Tent, like the part 901201 in blue, is not supposed to be installed on a roof rack that uses clamps to install on the vehicle. This is because the weight of the tent could damage your roof. Any rooftop tent that I've looked at the instructions for have this same instruction - they are only supposed to be installed on roof...
view full answer... - Tallest Rise 1-1/4 inch Hitch Ball Mount AvailabilityWhen measuring for ball mount rise/drop needed you have to measure from the bottom lip of the coupler to the ground and not from the top like you mentioned. That means your trailer height is going to be more like 20 inches instead of 22 inches. That being said the closest ball mount we offer to what you need is going to be the part # C45028 which can do a rise of 5-3/8 inches. Then for a 2 inch ball you would want the part # C40018.
view full answer... - Fixed Ball Mount w/ 6 inch Drop an 5-3/8 Inch Rise w/ Multiple Balls for a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch ReceiverI have a solution for you but there are no Tri-Ball type mounts for a 1-1/4" hitch receiver. To get the 5-3/4" drop/rise you will want the Curt Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches item # C45028. This fixed ball mount has a 5-3/8" Rise and a 6" Drop. It is 5-9/16" long and has a 2,000 lbs capacity. To match the tri-ball feature for ease and convenience, we have the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set - 1-7/8", 2" Balls - 3/4" Shank - Stainless item # 802b.

- Selecting Ball Mount for Yakima Trailer with 22" Coupler Height and Ford Focus with 10" Hitch HeightIf you measured a distance of 10 inches from the ground to the top of the inside of the Draw-Tite # 24872 hitch receiver on your 2015 Ford Focus, the Curt Drawbar # C45028 is going to put the ball platform at 15-3/8" above the ground. With the hitch ball actually in place you are looking at a ball height of around 17-3/8", which is still quite below the ideal 22" ball height for the Yakima trailers such as the Rack and Roll # Y08107. With this setup the Yakima trailer is going to be riding...
view full answer... - Ball Mount with the Most Drop for a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer HitchI have not seen a 1-1/4 inch ball mount that offered 12 inches of drop. The most that we have is a 6 inch drop # C45028 (Class I or II) or # BM96 (Class I). If this is for a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee I recommend switching to a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch, # 13251, so you can use a ball mount with more drop such as # AMSC12.
view full answer... - Ways to Steady Bike Rack Mounted on Ball MountA 1-1/4-inch hitch can be either a Class I or a Class II type. Your hitch should have a sticker that tells you which you have. In our Class I ball mounts the most rise is indeed 5-3/8-inches, with Curt ball mount # C45028. For a Class II ball mount the most rise, 5-1/2-inches, comes from Brophy ball mount # BM96. A ball mount with more rise will tend to wobble more than one without rise since the actual weight load on the hitch is moved further away by that rise. You can help immobilize...

If it has a 2 inch receiver opening then it will not be a problem. But if it is a 1-1/4 inch opening that makes it a Class I or II hitch and you are supposed to use a specific ball mount indicated by the hitch manufacturer. Since Yakima is measuring that 22 inches to the top of the ball and all of the ball mounts are based on measuring to the bottom of the coupler instead you would actually...
view full answer... - Availability of Ball Mount w/ Large Drop for 1-1/4 Inch Receiver on ATVNone of our manufacturers offer an adjustable ball mount for a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. The Curt # C45028 ball mount has the largest rise/drop of any of the Class I, 2000 lb capacity ball mounts we offer, it has a 5-3/8 inch rise or a 6 inch drop. For a Class II ball mount with a 3500 lb capacity, with the same rise/drop, use part # BM96.

This ball mount is a Class l and also features a 5-9/16 inch drop. This ball mount is rated for a gross towing capacity of 2,000-lbs. The hitch pin and clip I recommend is part # F-4. For a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # C40001 and for a 2-inch ball I recommend part # C40018.

view full answer... - Recommendation for 1-1/4 Inch Ball Mount with 8 Inch Rise Based on the measurements you took on your trailer hitch and trailer coupler, you will technically need a ball mount that features a rise of around 8-1/2 inches for a completely level setup. Between the two ball mount options you mentioned, the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45014 will be the better option, as it provides a greater 5 inch rise. The highest rise ball mount we currently have available that will be compatible with your existing 1-1/4 inch Curt trailer hitch receiver is the Curt...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount To Get 6" Of Rise For a 2015 Chrysler 200 Class I, 1-1/4" ReceiverCurrently our Curt Drawbar # C45028 has the most rise available for a 1-1/4" Class I receiver like that you would have on your 2015 Chrysler 200. The rise is 5-3/8" from the receiver. To get slightly closer to your 6" rise you can use a Curt Class I Drawbar # C45025 with a Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C94CR. The ball mount has a rise of 5" and the RockerBall sits 1-1/2" higher than a traditional 2" ball. As long as your trailer accepts a 2" ball this would give you...
view full answer... - Recommended Towing Setup For 2017 Audi Q7For your 2017 Audi Q7, if you don't already have a hitch I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # e88KR. This hitch receiver is a matte black powder coat finish over and e-base coat for excellent rust protection. For your wiring, I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT if you don't have the factory tow package. This harness uses zero-contact-interface sensors...
view full answer... - Can I Tow a Malone MicroSport Trailer with a Nissan AltimaWhat that means is that the Malone MicroSport trailer, part # MPG460G, is level when the bottom of the coupler is 18 inches off the ground. To tow the trailer level you need a ball mount with a rise. Park your Nissan Altima on level ground and measure from the ground the inner top of the receiver hitch. When we installed the Draw-Tite hitch on an Altima we measured 10-1/4 inches. You'll likely be close to this but measure your car so you're sure. Then subtract your measurement from...

- Solution for 1-1/4 inch Hitch that Needs Rise of 6.8 inchesFor a ball mount and hitch ball to get you close to the 6.8 inches of rise that you need for your 1-1/4 inch hitch you'd want the part # C45028 which has a rise of 5-3/8 inches. And then a ball like the part # 19256. This would get you within an inch or so of being level but there isn't a taller ball mount that could get you closer. This would be close enough for the trailer to be level enough so that you could tow safely.
view full answer... - Recommended 1-1/4" Ball Mount with 6" RiseThe Curt Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches part # C45028 (5-3/8" Rise) is the most amount of rise we offer for a standard ball mount that fits a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver. The 2" Hitch Ball can then be added with part # C40018. The 5/8" difference in height won't be a real issue and it's the best you will be able to get.
view full answer... - Drawbar Recommendation with 5 Inches of Rise for 2012 Honda Civic with Draw-Tite Hitch ReceiverThe Curt # C11391 is confirmed to fit your 2012 Honda Civic. Once installed the measurement you'll want to use is from the inside top of the receiver tube which on our install was about 11 inches. You'll want to compare those 11 inches with the distance from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler. A better drawbar for your Civic is the Curt # C45028 that will give you a 5 inch rise. For a hitch ball use either the 1-7/8 ball # C40001 or the 2 inch ball # C40018. whichever...
view full answer... - Why Are Curts Measurements Different Than What Is Listed?We measure rise and drop a little differently than Curt, hence the discrepancies with the label on their # C45028. Curt tends to round and estimate their measurements a little bit, but we go from the top of the ball platform to the top of the shank to get the 5-3/8" rise. This goes for the drop measurement as well, just with the ball mount flipped over. I included a review video we have of this showing where we take the measurements from as well.

- Recommended Ball Mount with 7 Inch Rise for Class I Trailer HitchI recommend looking at the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45028 for the 1-1/4 inch receiver opening on your 2014 VW Jetta Sedan. This ball mount provides the highest rise at 5-3/8 inches currently available on a ball mount that is compatible with Class I trailer hitches like what is installed on your vehicle. This won't quite get you to the 7 inches needed to tow your trailer perfectly level, but it will be sufficient. I also recommend making sure you are correctly measuring for the needed...
view full answer... - How Ball Mount Has The Highest Rise For My Class 1 HItch On My 2017 BMW 3 SeriesWhen it comes to towing a trailer. We always say that you can have up to 3 inches difference between the hitch and the ball mount. The closet one that we have is The Curt Drawbar # C45028 which has a 6 inch rise. So that will put you at a 4 inch difference. We will not have a ball mount over 6 inches for a class one hitch. I linked a review video of specs below.
view full answer... - Is it Safe to Tow a Trailer Using a Ball Mount With 5 Inch Rise When a 6 Inch Rise Is NeededTypically you want your trailer to be as level as possible when towing. In order to do this it is best to measure to find the correct rise/drop you need for a ball mount. I am assuming you measured and found that the distance between your hitch height and coupler was 6" so you need a ball mount with a 6" rise. If that is the case, a 6" rise would be ideal but using a 5" rise wouldn't be so drastic that you would have problems. You are also limited in the availability of ball mounts due...

The center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch sits approximately 4-1/4 inches under the rear bumper of your Fusion. This ball mount measures only 5-9/16 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole. For a ball mount with similar rise but much more clearance for your bumper I recommend the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-14 inch Hitches # 36065 for use on your 2014 Ford Fusion. The Draw-Tite ball mount offers 10 inches of clearance from center of the hitch pin hole to center of hitch ball hole.
