Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Hitch Ball Mount


  • Availability of Adapter to Lower Height of Trailer Ball Mounted on Towing Bumper of 2005 Ford F150
  • If you are speaking of a towing bumper where the bumper itself has a hole in it where you can install a trailer ball, there is no adapter available that would lower the ball. However, if you installed a frame-mounted trailer hitch like the Hidden Hitch # 87195, you could use a ball mount that would place the trailer ball at the perfect height. Once the hitch is installed, you can measure to determine the rise or drop of the ball mount needed to level the trailer. I have linked you to...

  • Availability of a Trailer Hitch Mount Towing Spare Tire Carrier or Dual Purpose Ball Mount
  • None of the trailer hitch mounted spare tire carriers, like # C31006, are what is considered to be a towing carrier. However, what you could do is use a dual purpose ball mount like # D210. With this ball mount you would place the hitch mounted carrier in the receiver portion and tow with the ball mount portion. You will have to make sure that you do not exceed the tongue weight capacity of the hitch when using the ball mount and receiver portion at the same time. You will have to subtract...

  • I have spoken with one of my contacts with Andersen Manufacturing who tells me that a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball is not available for the EZ Hitch Adjustable Steel Ball Mount. I understand that they currently have no plans to offer one. Your best bet would be to go with the EZ Hitch you were looking at, part # AM3296. For your smaller trailer that uses the 1-7/8 inch ball, assuming that you are needing a maximum of an 10 inch drop I would suggest an adjustable ball mount like part # TK5007...

  • Availability of a 50MM Trailer Hitch Ball to be Used to Tow European Gilder Trailers
  • After researching with Tow Ready, I found out that they do not have a 50mm ball option for the Tow Ready Interchangeable Hitch Ball Set, like # 63803. However, I have a solution for you. The Brophy 50MM Hitch Ball, # EH53C-C, can either be installed in your current ball mount or you may want to purchase a second ball mount to mount the 50MM ball. The ball has a shank that measures 1 inch in diameter and 2-1/8 inches long. This will allow you to switch ball mounts in and out with out...

You'd have to look into a small trailer to tow your motorcycle since a carrier option wouldn't be safe. For trailer wiring you'd need the # 118467 if you wanted to go that route.
