Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Hitch Ball Mount


  • How to Prevent Ball Mount From Rattling Inside Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • We currently have 2 trailer hitch receivers for your 2007 Honda Fit which are the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch part # 24776 and the Curt Trailer Hitch part # C11058. Both of these trailer hitches have a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. The ball mount that is best suited for your vehicle and hitch is part # C45521 which also has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. It is not uncommon for a bit of play to occur inside the trailer hitch receivers tube opening with the ball mount, but this can all be...

  • Can the Balls or Ball Platform be Stolen Off of the B&W Tow &W Ball Mounts
  • According to B&W: When the Tow & Stow is secured in your hitch receiver, you will not be able to remove the ball mount platform. This is because the slot in the shank is positioned in such a way that the collar on your hitch will block the pin on the platform from being able to leave the channel. Even if the pins holding the ball mount platform in place are removed, the platform will still be confined to this channel. So, as long as a hitch lock is used to secure the entire ball mount...

  • Any Vehicles Modifications Required to Install Trailer Hitch on 2020 Honda Passport?
  • Neither the Curt # C13421 or the Draw-Tite # 76290 Class III hitches would require any trimming or modification of the vehicle. Both hitches install in the same manner, bolting to the underside of the frame member, and both would appear pretty identical with only the receiver tube and safety chain loop being visible under the rear bumper. Really the only appreciable difference between the two is that the Draw-Tite # 76290 includes a horizontal bracket welded to the hitch crossbar for...

  • Does the EcoHitch for 2018 Tesla Model 3 Have Safety Chain Loops
  • Yes. The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH84GR has safety chain loops on the downward tube that the receiver will insert into. Since it sounds like you'll be towing, you will also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For wiring I recommend using the Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT which allows you to clamp on to the vehicle's wiring instead of splicing in, so it's a great solution for vehicles with complicated electrical systems. For a ball mount and hitch ball I recommend...

  • Will Anti-Rattle Device Compromise Shock Absorption of Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2 Inch Hitches
  • I can definitely see why you might think that, but an anti-rattle device is not going to compromise the shock absorption of the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC2. The polyurethane interior of the ball mount will continue to be effective for its intended purpose and reduce vibration, but without an anti-rattle device, the play inside a larger OEM hitch will continue. So with that in mind I definitely recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches # RM-061 which...

  • Does Hitch Ball Come Mounted to Brophy Ball Mount with 4 Drop or 3 Rise
  • A hitch ball does not come mounted to the Brophy Ball Mount with 4" Drop or 3" Rise # EA40, and there is not a way to get that as an option. For the hitch balls that work with this mount, either the 2" Hitch Ball # EH68C-C or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # SC30-C, you will need to torque them to 250 ft-lbs according to Brophy. If for some reason you are unable to get that installed yourself, a local installer should be able to tighten the hitch ball to the necessary ft-lbs. I have added a link...

  • Installing Trailer Hitch on a 2017 Honda CR-V With Lift Gate Sensors
  • Installing a trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite Hitch # 76128 will be compatible with your 2017 Honda CR-V's hands free lift gate. However, you will probably need to kick under the bumper to the left or right of the center where the hitch receiver opening will be located. This section of the hitch might partially block the sensors in this location. If you plan on towing with this hitch, then I recommend the using the T-One Vehicle Harness, # 118741, and ball mount kit, # 989900. The harness...

  • How to Select Correct Ball Mount for Towing Utility Trailer with 2010 Toyota Camry

  • Parts Needed To Tow Trailer With 2018 Ram Promaster City
  • To tow a small trailer with your 2018 Ram Promaster City you will need a hitch, trailer wiring, hitch pin, ball mount and ball.

The hitch is a concealed cross tube hitch so the only portion of the hitch that is visible once installed is the receiver tube. I have attached an installation...

  • Does Installing the etrailer Hitch Affect the Functionality of the Hands Free Lift Gate?
  • Good news! Installing a trailer hitch like the etrailer # e98903 on your 2020 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid will not affect the operation of the hands free liftgate feature on your vehicle. You'll simply slowly kick your foot to either side of the hitch receiver to open the rear cargo hatch in the same manner that you normally would. If you're going to be towing a trailer at all with your 2020 Pacifica Hybrid you'll need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball to complete your towing setup....

  • Will a Ball Mount and Ball Make the Alert Sound on Hopkins Rear View Camera with Backup Sensors
  • The alert will most likely sound with a ball mount that close to the sensors in the Hopkins Rear View Camera with Backup Sensors, # HM60195VA. You can adjust the sensors up a little but there is still a good chance it will sound the alert. The ball mount and ball should not have an adverse effect on the focus of the image. You could remove the ball mount before backing up so that the alert will not sound or try mounting the unit in an alternate location. What I recommend is the Swift...
