- Comparing Hitch Ball Heights For 2" B&W Tow & Stow 3- Ball Mount For MultiPro/MultiFlex GM Tailgates
- The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount 2-1/2" Drop # BW64FR and 4-1/2" Drop # BW49FR both adjust in 1" height increments. Both of these will have at least 1-1/2" of drop in the highest position when positioned in the drop position. So the 2-1/2" drop hitch can only be placed with 1-1/2" or 2-1/2" of drop. The 4-1/2" drop hitch can be placed with 1-1/2", 2-1/2", 3-1/2" or 4-1/2" of drop. For a stock height GMC Sierra 1500 Denali I recommend sticking with the 2-1/2" drop hitch. The 4-1/2" drop is...

- A standard bumper looks like a regular old bumper that goes straight across at the top and bottom and might have a cut out in the center for a license plate but the cutout does not drop below the bottom of the bumper.
A deep drop bumper will have the cut out in the middle but drops below the bottom of the bumper (at the center) so that it angles up from the center to the outer edges of the bumper. I have included a picture that better illustrates this.
For models with the standard bumper...

- The Lock N Roll # 336VS517 has a rise or drop of 4 1/2", and the Lock N Roll # # 336VS503505 has a rise or drop of 4 1/4".
The main difference between the 2 Lock N Roll hitches # 336VS503505 and # 336VS517 is that the # 336VS503505 is adjustable. There's 3 different positions it can be mounted in the channel. The holes are spaced 2" apart, so 4 1/4" is the lowest and highest setting, about 2" for the middle position, no drop or rise at the third position.
The # 336VS517 is not adjustable...
view full answer... - Selecting a Cushioned Ball Mount Capable of a 3" Drop Which Fits a 2" Hitch Receiver
- I have a few options depending on the amount you will be towing and how adjustable you want to hitch to be for other trailers. First is the Curt RockerBall Anti-Rattle Towing Kit # C63KR. This uses a standard style ball mount with a cushioned 2" hitch ball. This will be set at the 3" height and is not adjustable but is the most economical of the choices.
The Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount # 325-GH-12005 is a cushioned mount. It does allow you to bolt the bracket from a 0-6" drop...

view full answer... - Choosing Between A Fastway Weight Distribution System With Round Bars Or Trunnion Bars
- One of the major differences between a round bar system and a Trunnion bar system is if ground clearance is an issue, you may be better off choosing a Trunnion-bar system simply because these bars slide into the weight distribution head instead of inserting into it from the bottom, thus maintaining a more streamline system.The round-style spring bars slide up into the head and are held in place with clips.
The round bar on # FA94-00-0600 extends about 2-1/2 inches below the weight distribution...

- There is a very subtle difference between Curt hitches # C13386 and the now discontinued C13100; the orientation of the exhaust hanger brackets attached to the side flanges of the hitches. On hitch C13386 they are at a lower angle than on C13100. This allows the newer hitch, # C13386, to also fit the 2018 Ford Explorer.

- The Curt Class III Ball Mount # C45056 comes with a standard 2" hitch ball that can be removed and used in the drop or rise position with the ball mount while the Curt Fusion Ball Mount # C45154 has the 2" hitch ball welded to the platform so it can only be used in the drop position.
The Fusion looks a little cleaner but it does lose that rise position so I recommend going with the standard # C45056 just in case you ever need to remove the hitch ball and reinstall it on the other side...

- For your 2020 Honda Odyssey the big difference between the two Draw Tite hitches you mentioned is that the # 76171 has a visible crosstube and the # 76170 does not. Having the crosstube out of plainsight makes the hitch look a little better and also helps with ground clearance. Now the install of the the hidden hitch is a bit longer but if you can handle that aspect it would be the hitch I'd recommend the highest.
