Expert Answers about Flat Mount Trailer Coupler


  • How to Tell if AMPLock Trailer Coupler Lock Will Fit Trailer Coupler
  • Great question! The AMPLock Trailer Coupler Lock # AMP44FR works for couplers that connect to a 2-5/16" hitch ball and the coupler has a flat lip design. This is pretty standard for trailer couplers but I'm also linking a review video of this coupler lock for you to check out. If you take note at the start of the video you'll see the flat lip design I was talking about. If you have the flat lip coupler but you use a 2" hitch ball to tow then you can use the part # AMP64FR instead. This...

  • Recommended Ball Mount For A 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon Towing A Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer
  • On the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" # Y08106 the height from the ground to the top of the inside of the coupler where the ball sits is 22 inches so then from the bottom of the coupler lip to the ground measures 20 inches when the trailer sits level. So if you are looking to pick out a ball mount to use with this trailer you'll want to measure from the ground to the top of the hitch opening and whatever the difference between what that dimension is and 20 is the rise/drop you need....

  • Recommend Ball Mount For Towing Light Trailer With 2014 Prius V With Draw-Tite Hitch 24967
  • We have not had a chance to install the Class I Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24967 but we were able to install the Draw-Tite on a 2016. The ground clearance with the hitch installed on the 2016 was 12-1/4" which will most likely be the same on your 2014 Prius V give or take if there is a tire size variance. Please keep in mind the Class I hitch is only capable of towing 200 lbs tongue weight. You will need a ball mount with at least a 1-3/4" rise if you install the...

  • Can a Ball Mount with a 3/4" Rise be Used When the Coupler and Hitch Height are the Same
  • As a general rule it is best to choose a ball mount that brings the difference between your coupler and receiver height to "zero" so that the trailer rides level. You are correct that once a trailer is coupler it could very well reduce the height of the coupler thus keeping the trailer from traveling completely level. Since a ball mount can't always be found that matches exactly the rise or drop that might be needed it is okay to use one within 2" of the rise or drop required. In your...

  • Parts Needed To Tow A Lightweight Trailer With 2015 Honda Odyssey
  • To tow a smaller trailer with the 2015 Honda Odyssey you will need a hitch, lock, ball mount, ball and wiring. If the trailer has electric brakes, you will also need a 7-Way plug on the vehicle and a brake controller. I recommend to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76025 on the Odyssey because it will work well to tow the trailer and also give you a clean OEM look. It is a concealed cross tube design so the only part of the hitch that is visible once installed...

  • Can Lock N Roll Coupler Be Used for Flat Towing a 1992 Jeep YJ Behind a Motorhome
  • That's a big no when it comes to using the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # 336TS528 to flat tow your 1992 Jeep YJ. The Lock N Roll is designed specifically for trailer towing and is not approved by the company for a flat tow situation so we need to use a tow bar system. For that I recommend the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518112 if your Jeep has the standard factory bumper. This works with a standard tow bar like the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR...

You will simply need to measure your coupler lip to ensure it is not more than 5/8" away from the front edge of the ball channel(see image).
