If you're after a more traditional fixed ball mount, the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC12 will work if your trailer coupler is 26" and your receiver height is 14". This ball mount provides 12" of drop, 10-3/4" of rise, and 7,500-lbs of gross towing weight.
If it's greater than 26", I recommend the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-316. This ball mount offers 12-1/2" of drop, a 10,000-lbs gross towing capacity, and has 6 integrated receiver tubes... view full answer...
When the trailer hitch on the vehicle and the coupler on the trailer have different heights you can use a ball mount with the required amount of rise or drop to allow the hitched trailer to remain level. It is important to keep the trailer's frame level when towing for better handling.
Since your trailer's coupler is about 4-1/2-inches taller than your hitch receiver you will want to select a ball mount that has about 4-inches of RISE, to bring the hitch ball up to the height of the trailer... view full answer...
The hitch ball you need will depend on the size the trailer's coupler connects to; it will likely be a 1-7/8" ball or 2" ball. As for the ball mount, there is a simple way for you to determine if you need drop or rise with a couple measurements. First, make sure both your vehicle and trailer are parked on level ground; you'll then want to measure from the ground to the top of the inside of your hitch receiver. Next, measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler.

On the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 36293, there is no mount hole for a hitch ball. You will need to get a ball mount that will go into the hitch receiver and give you the location where the hitch ball will be mounted.
This hitch is for a 2000 to 2004 Toyota Avalon. For the Toyota Avalon you will need the recommended ball mount for that hitch, which is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, # 36051. It will come with the pin and clip.

The recommended ball mount to use on a 1997 Chevrolet Lumina with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 24628 (DISCONGTINUED) is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 3592.
The ball mount that you referenced, part # 3594 has too much of a rise and is not recommended by Draw-Tite to be used on the Chevrolet Lumina. With Class I and II hitches, the ball mount recommended by the hitch manufacturer must be used, not doing so will void the hitch warranty.

We have several ball mounts with a rise greater than 2 inches. I have attached a link to our ball mount page for you to check out. I am not familiar with a trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver for the 2014 Ford Fusion. There are Class II hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers, is that what you have?
If you have a Class I or Class II trailer hitch, I strongly recommend checking the installation instructions or with the hitch manufacturer to verify ball mount compatibility. Most trailer hitch... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but there's not a ball mount with exactly a 1-1/2" drop. The goal is to tow your trailer as level as possible, so using a ball mount like the one that comes in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989891 that comes with a 2" drop would work just fine. This kit comes with both 1-7/8" and 2" hitch balls to allow you to cover trailers with different coupler sizes, plus a hitch pin, clip and storage bag. view full answer...
The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2015 Lexus NX 200t is the Draw-Tite Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 75956. I like this hitch because there is no drilling required to install this trailer hitch and it has great reviews from our customers. This trailer hitch has a 3500 pound towing capacity, which is plenty to tow a 1,500 pound motorcycle trailer. The installation instructions for the hitch are linked for you.

For a ball mount, or drawbar, rated at 10,000 pounds that fits in a 2 inch hitch receiver, I recommend the Brophy Ball Mount 3/4 Inch Rise or 2 Inch Drop, 13-1/4 Inches Long # BM20. This ball mount has a 2 inch drop or 3/4 inch rise. When used with a standard hitch ball, the small drop will help you tow your boat trailer level. This ball mount uses a hitch ball with a 1 inch diameter shank.
A great hitch ball option that will work with the Brohpy Ball Mount # BM20 is the Curt Hitch Ball... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11169 is a Class I hitch so it will use a Class I, 1-1/4 inch ball mount.
The size of the hitch ball you need will depend on the exact ball mount you choose. For example, if you use the Curt Ball Mount # C45019 it has a 3/4 inch ball hole diameter so you can use # C40001 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # C40018 for a 2 inch ball. Both have a 3/4 inch shank.

To start, you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13146 you were looking at, and it's a great choice because of the durable powder coating and strong design. In addition to the hitch/receiver, you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount, hitch ball, hitch pin and clip. For a wiring harness I recommend using the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118760, which offers a simple, plug and play installation and gives you a 4 way trailer plug on your 2016 Honda... view full answer...
To be able to tow the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MPG464-LB with your 2018 Toyota 4Runner, you're just going to need a ball mount like the Curt Fusion Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45134 with a 2" hitch ball.
To choose a correct ball mount will dictate on the measurement from the ground to the top of the trailer receiver, if it is less that 18" you'll need a ball mount with rise, however, if it's more than 18", you'll need a ball mount with drop.
For example, if you measured 20"... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, and the issue you'll encounter when you start using hitch extensions is that the further the weight gets away from the hitch, it reduces the tongue weight of the hitch by 50% or more. For that reason I don't recommend using any type of supplemental extension that the ball mount would then fit into.
I recommend simply using a ball mount that is a bit longer than normal like the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 13-1/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BH20,... view full answer...
If I'm understanding you correctly the answer is yes you can.
Your Explorer has a Class III trailer hitch receiver that measures 2 inches on the inside. This means it must have a Class III ball mount that fits into it to tow a trailer, like part # C45030. I've linked all of our ball mounts that'll fit to this page.
On the other side the trailer has a coupler that fits onto the hitch ball. With a trailer that small it's probably a 1-7/8 inch ball. It could be a 2 inch or even a 50 millimeter... view full answer...

Yes, in addition to a hitch, you will need a ball mount, ball and trailer wiring. I will explain what the parts are and what they do, then I will include some recommendations of parts for your 2008 Honda Odyssey.
A ball mount slides into the receiver, or square opening in the hitch. They are available in different heights so that depending on how tall the vehicle is and how tall the trailer is, a ball mount can be selected that will keep the whole rig level.

As long as your 2003 Tahoe does not have the canister or rear passenger side frame rail, the etrailer # e26KR would work just fine for you.
To calculate the necessary rise/drop ball mount needed, you'll need to find the height difference between the top inside edge of the receiver tube and the bottom of the trailer's coupler, as shown in the linked article.
When the # e26KR hitch is installed, the inside top of the receiver will sit about 1 inch below the underside of the bumper. To... view full answer...
To choose the correct ball mount and hitch ball you first need to determine if you'll need a rise or drop to tow your trailer. I've attached an article that explains this but basically you need to measure from the ground to the inside top of the hitch receiver. Then measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler. Make sure they're both parked on level ground. If the hitch receiver is higher you'll need a ball mount with a drop and if the coupler is higher you'll need... view full answer...
It sounds like you are referring to the ball mount that fits into the 1-1/4 inch square receiver on the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24902. The ball mount, pin and clip is not included with this trailer hitch. With a Class I trailer hitch like this, you can only use the ball mount recommended by the trailer hitch manufacturer.
If you are talking about the installation hardware, parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the instructions, those items should have been included with the rest of the hardware.
