Expert Answers about Heartland RV Drop Hitch


  • Is There a Ball Mount With 4" Drop Which Has Dual 2" Hitch Balls To Work in Rise or Drop Positions?
  • We are not going to have any option for a ball mount with 2" hitch ball on both the rise and drop position. I recommend looking at the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # BPH64FR as this will allow you to easily flip the hitch for either a rise or drop and since it uses adjustable pins you can easily flip the ball as well. If this is something you plan to store in your receiver I recommend the Lock Set # 34061674-D so it does not walk away.

  • High Low Adapter with Greatest Drop for Helping See Over Bike Rack in Front Hitch
  • The best solution we have would be the Roadmaster High Low Adapter part # RM-048-10 which would give you a drop of 10-1/4 inches. We don't have anything that's between 12 and 16 inches but this would hopefully be enough of a drop to allow you to see better.

  • Can I Use The Blue Ox WD Hitch BXW2000 With A Gen-Y Stacked Receiver Ball Mount?
  • Hello Don. For starters, we do not recommend using the Blue Ox WD Hitch # BXW2000 with the shank from your Gen-Y hitch. While the Gen-Y shanks are durable, they are simply not meant to be used in this way. That said, the # BXW2000 comes with a 9-hole shank which provides a maximum of 2" of drop. It is possible to use a larger shank with this system. Something like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ34FR would be a great option that provides up to 12" of drop. The only downside...

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2024 Honda Odyssey EX-L
  • For a hitch that fits your 2024 Honda Odyssey EX-L I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76170. The main reason I would choose this hitch over other options is the concealed crosstube. Not only does this improve clearance, it also gives the hitch a much cleaner look. The only hitch I think is better is the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite # DT76GR, but that comes at a greater cost. This hitch has a completely removable receiver so you have no clearance lost and a factory...

  • Is There Version of Shocker Hitch XR Adjustable Drop Hitch without Hitch Ball
  • Hey Anthony, so Shocker Hitch does not offer a version of the part # SHK88ZR without the hitch ball so best option would be to order this part number and then remove the ball. Hitch balls generally aren't very expensive though so even if what you are looking for was available the price difference wouldn't be huge.

  • Recommended Hitch for 2017 Hyundai Tucson Towing Boat Trailer
  • I'm sorry to hear about your trouble and I would be happy to help you get your boat where it needs to go. For a hitch that fits your 2017 Tucson and won't need to be returned I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e54AR you were looking at. This has a bolt-on installation and a matte black finish. The hitch also has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible at the back of your vehicle, giving it a nice clean look. The 2" receiver makes it a better choice over...

  • Front Hitch Option For A 2007 Chevy Express Midbus
  • Hello Matthew, so we do have a potential solution for you, but I am sorry to say that there is not a custom fit front hitch for a 2007 Chevy Express Midbus. Our best option would be to use a weld-on universal hitch like # 41990-07 which offers a 7 inch drop could work for you, but you might need to make some modifications to the fascia under the front bumper. Since there is no custom fit option, fabricating something to fit really is the only way.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2022 Forest River Georgetown 31L5
  • I have a hitch that will work great for your Forest River Georgetown but the Curt item # C14082 will not fit. It's designed for a bunch of Ford and GM trucks built from 1963-1997. For your motorhome on a 2021 Ford F53 chassis, I recommend the Curt Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver Hitch and Brackets with 3" Drop item # 15901. There are no custom fit hitches for your motorhome so you will need to use a universal one. This will be a solid upgrade! The Curt item # 15901 has adjustable...

  • Recommended Low Weight 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2021 Ram 2500 With OEM Puck System
  • Hi Alan, To drop the weight down to something manageable for one person you could switch to the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 (116lbs) along with the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C29BR (95lbs). The head of the A16 can also be easily removed by pulling the pin locking it to the head assembly, reducing the weight further. To use this with your Turning Point pin box you also need the Curt A-Series Wedge Kit # C16992.

  • Are Any Adapters Or Rails Needed For The Demco Autoslide For Ram Puck System # DM69GV
  • Hey Lamar, The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM69GV has side plates with attachment points that will drop right into your Ram's puck system an without the need of any other kind of adapters or rails. The only thing you might need would be a new capture plate for the hitch head if you have an upgraded pin box (rota-flex, flex-air, Pull-Rite, etc.).

  • Can The Curt High-Low Adapter C27KR Be Safely Used For Towing A Trailer?
  • We should have a potential solution for you, but to answer your question, no, you cannot safely use the Curt High-Low Adapter # C27KR for this purpose. The Curt adapter is to be used for flat towing only and cannot be used for towing a trailer, regardless of weight. Are you trying to raise/lower the height of a weight distribution hitch? Generally this is done by using a shank with the appropriate amount of rise or drop such as the Curt Welded Weight Distribution Shank # C17123. I am...

  • Best Way To Change Out A 5th Wheel Hitch For A Gooseneck
  • Hello Rene. The best way to do this will be to replace the pin box on your 5th wheel with a goosebox like the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY66FR that you were looking at. That said, these Gen-Y gooseboxes are not universal, and I will need more information from you in order to make an accurate recommendation. First I will need to know the pin box number or size of your current pin box. For example, the Gen-Y # GY66FR will replace the Lippert 1621 and 1621...
