There are very few trailer hitch balls with a rise, and all of them are made of chrome-plated steel, including the 2" trailer hitch balls.
Both 2" hitch balls have a 6,000 lb capacity and 1" diameter shank with the difference being the amount of rise; the Curt 2" Hitch Ball # C40033 has a 1" rise and the Curt 2" Hitch Ball # C40034 has a 2" rise.
Most trailer hitch balls are made out of chrome-plated steel now and they are just as high-quality as their stainless steel brethren while... view full answer...
While most your class 3 trailer hitch receivers are rated for 3,500lbs-8,000lbs the hitch ball size is generally determined on the trailer. The 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19260 is generally found on very small trailers with a total weight below 2,000lbs. The 2" Hitch Ball # 40038 will be the most common size used on most utility trailers you would be able to tow. The 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40005 is commonly found on larger trailers but is also the most popular size used on camping trailers. We... view full answer...

I can tell you how to determine which trailer hitch ball you need for your 2012 Sportsmen Classic Series M-19BH travel trailer, and it seems likely it is a 2" hitch ball, though there would be no way we could have this type of information available.
To determine the correct hitch ball you need to know what size ball the trailer's coupler will accept so that's the first detail you will need to acquire. Like I mentioned, for a trailer this size it is likely a 2" ball but you will need to... view full answer...
The only gooseneck hitch ball size that fits the Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 6300 is the 2-5/16" Diameter Hitch Ball # 5973.

You can use a 2 inch ball with a Class I trailer hitch. The ball shank has to have the proper dimensions to fit the correct ball mount for the hitch. On Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24794, the correct ball mount is # 3594 and for a 2 inch ball you would use # 19258. Even though this ball is rated for 3,500 pounds, you are still limited by the capacity of the hitch (2,000 pounds) or the vehicle (check owners manual) whichever is lower. You will also need pin and clip # PC2.

The standard hitch height that most of the rental trailers are designed for is 17 inches. That will allow the trailer to be towed at the correct level.
The hitch height of 18 inches on your 2010 Toyota Highlander is within the standard hitch height. So, if you have a 2-inch receiver the Curt Ball Mount, # C45010, with the 3/4 inch rise and 2 inch drop will work on the majority of the rental trailers.
You will also need a Tow Ready Hitch Ball, # 19247, which is a 2 inch ball. The 2 inch... view full answer...
There is a cover you can use for your 2-5/16" hitch ball, but the Anderson cap is just for their greaseless Hardball hitch ball, so it would not be used on the 2-5/16" Andersen Ultimate hitch ball. However, if you did want a cover for that or a different hitch ball, there is an option from Fastway:

There are two possible reasons why some 1-1/4 inch ball mounts might not fit in the factory trailer hitch on your 2001 Ford Escape. First, if the factory trailer hitch is what is considered a Class I trailer hitch, a Class II, 1-1/4 inch ball mount will not fit. They are designed this way for safety.
Check the capacity of your factory trailer hitch. If it is 200 pounds tongue weight capacity and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight, you have a Class I hitch and will need a Class I ball mount.... view full answer...
To determine the correct hitch ball you need to know what size ball your trailer's coupler will accept, though for a 13,000 lb trailer I am virtually certain it will be a 2-5/16" hitch ball.
Along with the correct capacity and diameter of the actual hitch ball, you also need to know the diameter of the shank that your ball mount accepts and the thickness of your ball mount platform. This is needed because the hitch ball needs to fit in the ball mount hole (the shank and hole should have... view full answer...
There are other ball mounts that will work with 1-1/4 inch hitches. However, on Class I and II trailer hitches such as # C12232 you are supposed to only use the ball mount specified by the hitch manufacturer or it voids the hitch warranty. The use of a different ball mount is an at your own risk type of situation. I have linked the ball mounts we carry for 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches. view full answer...

The recommended ball mount for the Curt trailer hitch # C11054 that fits your 2005 VW Passat is the Curt Drawbar # C45521.
For a hitch ball that fits you will need either 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # A-80 or 2" Hitch Ball # A-82, depending on the size of your trailer's coupler; you will also need Pin and Clip # F-4 to secure the ball mount to your Passat's hitch.
To add wiring which will give your VW a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # C59496.

Ball mount # C45521 is compatible with Class I and II trailer hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. So it will fit the hitch. Usually though on Class I and II trailer hitches you have to use the ball mount indicated by the hitch manufacturer or it could void the hitch warranty. If the hitch is an OEM hitch then you will need to check with the dealer.
The issue is that on Class I and II trailer hitches they test and rate the hitch using a specific ball mount. The use of a different ball mount... view full answer...
The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH33VR will come with a 7" Ball Mount # 391BMU7S. When we had this installed on a 2014 BMW 3 series it had a ball height of 18-1/2".

The polyurethane interior that cushions the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC2 will still be beneficial for you even though your trailer is lightweight and this ball mount has a 10,000 lb towing capacity and 2,000 lb tongue weight capacity.
Even with a light tear trailer there is still going to be movement that occurs when you are towing; your trailer will bounce and inertia is going to cause some shock and strain on your vehicle when you stop, start and slow down. The Convert-A-Ball Ball... view full answer...
