  • Can I Tow w/ the 2" Receiver on a Stealth Hitch for a 2021 Volvo XC90 Recharge?
  • No, sorry you can not. The 2" receiver that comes with the Stealth Hitches item # SH27FRT can only be used for accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. It's only been built to withstand the vertical force put it on by accessories. You'll have to use the included ball mount to tow.

  • How to Attach the Hitch Ball to a Trailer's Coupler on the Trailer Valet MV PRO
  • To secure the Trailer Valet MV PRO item # TV96FR hitch ball to your trailer's coupler you will want to remove ball from the valet itself and attach it to your trailer using the coupler lock. Then you will come in with the included wrench and tighten it all the way up so it is secure. Once you've completed these steps you'll lower it onto the Valet. We demonstrated this using a different model Trailer Valet and I have linked the video below. It's the same process for the hitch ball so...

  • Is Equal-i-zer Hitch Ball Rated the Same as Older Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Head
  • Hi Russ, thanks for all of the details and photo! For your application it will be best to get a whole new 14K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37140ET. When I sent your photo over to my contact at Equal-i-zer he said there are a few things that are concerning like the shank is not one that came with the hitch head and there is some hardware missing like the sleeves where the bars install on the hitch system. Getting a whole new system gives you a whole...

  • Does the B&W Continuum Work w/ Trailers that Have 4 Inch Tall Frames?
  • Thanks for the pictures! No, I am sorry Richard you can not. The B&W Continuum item # BW78FR only works with frames that are 5" and 6" tall.

The Equal-i-zer item # EQ37100ET has a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs so it would be perfect for your car trailer. This system has built in 4-point sway control that will keep your trailer in line with your truck when you make...

  • Does The Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR Fit All 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers
  • Hi David, The Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR does require a 2" trailer hitch receiver tube opening in order to mount. Hitch pin holes for a 2" hitch are typically 5/8" in diameter. The anti-rattle hitch pin lock # SA3022 included with this rack has a 7/16" thickness and threads into the shank of the rack to clamp it to the receiver tube and prevent any movement/rattling. As long as you have a 2" trailer hitch receiver you'll be able to use the Saris Doo County...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver To Pull 10,000LBS Behind a 2011 Chevy Express 3500 Cutaway Chassis
  • Due to having the cutaway chassis on your 2011 Chevrolet Express 3500 you are going to want to look at either the Draw-Tite Receiver # 41990-07 with 7" mounting brackets or the # 41990-16 with 16" tall mounting brackets. The height of the brackets will depend on the height of your frame from where you would like the receiver to sit. These can be bolted on but welding is the preferred method. You will want to check your wiring to see if it included the round connector for a 7-Way # 30955...

  • Options For Connecting Safety Cables When Using The Dexter DX29FR Actuator
  • Well Brent that is certainly a valid concern, because the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX29FR does not have any kind of built in safety cable connections. In fact very few of the surge brake actuators that we carry will have cable connections. In most cases the safety cable connection will be part of the trailer tongue itself and not part of the brake actuator (example pictured below). As far as getting you a cable connection point, it could be as simple as putting a hole a bit...
