Expert Answers about Isuzu Heavy Duty Receiver Hitch


  • How Does the Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty Mud Flap System # ERT00108 Install
  • The Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty Mud Flap System # ERT00108 installs by mounting to the ball mount for your 2" trailer hitch receiver. It is a very easy install with the only requirement being that you have at least 1" of space between the back of the ball mount face and the trailer hitch receiver opening (see attached picture). These mud flaps come in matte black and are adjustable for different applications. The adjustable feature makes it perfect for use on different trucks. I have attached...

  • Proper Mounting Flange Orientation for the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25230
  • The correct orientation for the mounting flanges for the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25230 that you referenced is what the installation instructions show. They should point in and not out. I attached a picture that I took from the installation instructions, that are also attached to the right, that shows how the flanges should be orientated.

  • Should B*W Heavy Duty Trailer Hitch BWHDRH25230 Use Included Hardware Or Factory Hardware?
  • The B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25230 you purchased for your 2005 Ford F-250/350 was designed and tested with the included 1/2" grade 8 bolts so that is what you will need to use. Enlarging the holes in your hitch can cause structural issues and would void the warranty of the hitch. I included a video of the # BWHDRH25230 being installed for you to take a look at.

  • Is the 2-5/16 Hitch Ball Already Torqued on the Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount
  • Yes, the Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount # C45332 comes from Curt with the 2-5/16" hitch ball already torqued to specs. As the customer stated in their review, it must have slipped through their quality control. When we receive them and ship them out they remain in a plastic bag (which we do put in a box) so if it were loose we wouldn't know.

  • 2019 Ram 1500 Factory Hitch on Bumper vs Hitch Receiver Mounted to Frame?
  • I'm not sure I completely understand what you're referring to, so I apologize in advance for any misunderstanding, but are you referring to the ball mount hole on the bumper in front of the license plate? If so, that is not meant for any heavy duty towing but can be used for very light duty- say a light motorcycle trailer or something of the sort (generally anything less than 1000-lbs). You can install a hitch ball and tow with that, as opposed to using a hitch receiver that would normally...

  • Why Can't Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver Be Used with WDH
  • The Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41990-16 is not designed for use with a weight distribution system per the manufacturer. This is likely due to the bracket design and the twisting/turning a weight distribution system can have on the hitch/frame. I wasn't able to find another similar type of hitch rated for this use so you'll want to proceed without the weight distribution system.

  • Most Heavy Duty Trailer Hitch Option for a 2013 Ford Explorer
  • The most heavy duty trailer hitch available for a 2013 Ford Explorer is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76034 which is rated for 4,500 lbs of gross trailer weight and 675 lbs of tongue weight. The gross trailer weight rating can even be increased to 5,000 lbs if using a weight distribution system. I have attached an install video for you as well if you need help but as there are only four bolts it will be super simple. Please note, in order to provide lights to the...

  • Installation of Curt Front Mount Receiver # 31302 on 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  • After some research, I have found the Curt Front Mount Receiver # 31302 is the only such trailer hitch we carry for your 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. It has a line pull capacity of 9000 lbs, a vertical load of 500 lbs, and a gross trailer weight of 5000 lbs. The hitch features a 2-inch receiver opening with a pin hole diameter of 5/8 inches and does not need welding for installation. Typically, the receiver would be installed with the receiver tube on the underside of the crossbar, which...

  • Is Anything Else Needed to Use the Rock Tamers Mud Flap System # ERT00108 on a 2017 Ford F-150
  • As long as you have the 1" of clearance between the collar of your hitch receiver and the nearest obstruction on your weight distribution shank (which you should) the Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System # ERT00108 will fit and work just fine. You should have a 2" hitch receiver on your 2017 Ford F-150 but you can verify that by measuring the inside of your hitch receiver either vertically or horizontally. Attached is an installation video for you to check out.

  • Is Drilling Required to Install B&W Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25122 on 1976 Dodge Truck
  • To install the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25122 on your 1976 Dodge Full Size truck you will not be required to do any drilling. I checked the installation instructions (attached to the right) to confirm this. For trailer wiring you would want the Draw Tite Wiring Harness part # 18252. I attached a video for you to use as a guide that shows this harness installed on a similar vehicle. For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball...

  • Will Blue Ox Heavy-Duty Universal Bolt-On Adapter Tabs # BX88266 fit a 2005 Ram 2500?
  • The Blue Ox Heavy-Duty Universal Bolt-On Adapter Tabs # BX88266 can be bolted on to a metal bumper by drilling holes and using the hardware provided. However, these are typically used as a last-resort solution in the case that there isn't a standard base plate available for your vehicle. Instead, I recommend using the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 277-3A for baseplates on your 2005 Ram 2500. These have an easy, bolt-on installation and will be compatible with all Roadmaster...

  • Installation of Prodigy Brake Controller in a 2016 T&C van with Factory Installed 7-Way
  • First let's start with a brake controller. I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885 that I believe you are considering already. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. We don't have a way to tie into factory 7-way wiring but we can still help you wire the controller up and make it functional. Next, for a wiring kit to install the brake controller to the 7-way you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake...

  • Can Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter be Used with a Winch
  • I do have a solution for you but when I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster they did not recommend using the Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-6 with a winch. Instead what I recommend using is a Gen-Y Hitch. We have part # 325-GH-313 which has a 5" rise/drop and part # 325-GH-314 which has a 7-1/2" rise/drop which you can use. These are much more heavy-duty than the adapters used for flat towing so you can definitely use it with your winch on a mounting bracket like part # BDW20011...

  • Front Mounted Receiver Location When Installed on 2004 Dodge Ram 3500
  • The Draw-Tite # 65046 front mounted receiver will fit the 2004 Dodge Ram 3500. When the hitch is installed, the receiver tube will butt up against the underside of the front bumper fascia, a few inches below the license plate, as you'll see in the photo I provided. The Curt # C31017 would sit about 2 inches higher, meaning you'd need to notch the bumper fascia, but you'd still be well under the license plate. I've linked you to installation instructions for both hitches, as well as video...

  • What Type of Connection is Used for the Auxiliary Input on Jensen Heavy Duty Mechless RV Stereo?
  • The AUX input on the Jensen Heavy Duty Mechless RV Stereo # JHD1130B is a 3.5mm audio input jack that is accessed via a flip down cover on the front of the unit. This stereo has the ability to receive signals from the 7 NOAA weather radio stations throughout the country, but the stereo is required to be powered on and tuned to your closest available NOAA frequency in order to receive that signal. Because of that, you won't have to worry about the radio drawing power from your battery at night.

  • Can Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK Tie Into Wiring Kit # RM-152 on a 2003 Jeep Wrangler
  • If you installed the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152 on your 2003 Jeep Wrangler then you shouldn't need the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK. However, if you did want to add the magnetic tow lights just for extra visibility you could tie in that 4-Way to the wiring kit that you already installed. Simply splice it in color for color using heat shrink butt connectors like part # DW05744-5. The lights will tie into the ground wire that you already ran. Please...

  • Hitch Receiver for a 2016 Volvo S60 R-Design
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75916 does fit your 2016 Volvo S60 T6 AWD. It doesn't require any drilling but you will have to make a 2" x 2" cut for the receiver tube to extend below your Volvo's trim. Once the installation is complete you will not be able to see this cut unless you are looking up from underneath your car. I have linked an installation video along with the instructions. At the 8 minute mark is when you will see the necessary cuts being made. This...

  • Can an Aftermarket Trailer Hitch be Installed on a 2017 Toyota Tundra with Factory Trailer Hitch
  • I do have an option for you however, all of the aftermarket trailer hitches we offer for your 2017 Toyota Tundra except one will not work if there is a factory trailer hitch already installed. The next question people usually ask is if they were to remove the factory trailer hitch could they then install an aftermarket trailer hitch. Unfortunately, this cannot be done either as the factory trailer hitch is part of the support for the rear bumper. The only and I mean only option we have...
