  • Choosing a Ball Mount for 2013 Toyota Venza with Class III Trailer Hitch to Tow Boat Trailer
  • A Class III ball mount is a great option for you with the Class III trailer hitch installed on your 2013 Toyota Venza. Since your boat trailer has a 2 inch coupler, you will certainly want a hitch ball that has a 2 inch diameter ball in order to seat the coupler properly. Another thing to consider when choosing a ball mount is the height of the hitch receiver and the height of the trailer coupler. You will want to choose a ball mount that will allow you to tow the trailer level. The...

  • You are definitely on the right track! When we installed the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98855 on a 2019 Honda Odyssey we found that from the ground to the top of the inside of the receiver measured 14". When you subtract that from the 16" measurement you took for your trailer coupler that gives you a difference of 2". This means you are looking at a ball mount with a rise of about 2" (see attached picture). For your application I highly recommend the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit...

  • Parts Needed to Switch from Surge Disc Brake Actuator to Electric Over Hydraulic
  • To switch from your current surge brake system to an electric over hydraulic system you'll need an EOH actuator, a brake controller and possibly a new coupler; you'll also need to re-wire the trailer so that it has a 7 way plug. Additionally, if you don't already have a 7 way plug on your tow vehicle, you will need to add one using a kit like the # ETBC7.

  • Availability of Flat Floor on Watersport Trailer for a 12.5 Flycraft Fly Fishing Raft
  • While there aren't any parts designed specifically to keep road debris from flying up under the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT (or any of our watersport trailers for that matter), this is a pretty bare-bones trailer so it wouldn't be difficult to add something like that at home. In regards to the 10" hitch height of your Winnebago Travato Class B camper van, that actually isn't a big deal. All you need is a ball mount with a 5" rise to match the 15" coupler height of this Malone...

  • Wiring New Trailer Connector with Reverse Light Signal to 2015 Trailstar Tandem Axle Trailer
  • The easiest way to add a reverse light circuit to your TrailStar trailer is to tap into the reverse light circuit on your 5-pole, IF that is the assigned function. Often boat trailers with surge couplers have an electric reverse lockout feature that allows you to back up the trailer without having to first get out of the truck to manually engage a lockout (which prevents the brakes from actuating as you back up against the coupler). If your trailer coupler has an electric lockout feature...

You'll also want to consult your the owner's manual of your vehicle to determine if the specific model of your 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee can be flat towed (there are certain models that cannot be flat towed). There are a number of parts that you'll need in order to...

  • Parts Needed To Tow A Jet Ski Trailer With a 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid
  • I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11025 on your 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid.

But it also states to make sure you account for tongue weight for total vehicle weight when trailer towing. If you have any vehicle warranty or concerns about this please consult your vehicle warranty or your Kia dealer. Curt recommends using either the 1-7/8" Euro Drawbar...
