Expert Answers about Airstream Trailer Hitch Ball Mount


  • Ball Mount Recommendation for Use with a Draw-Tite # 75673 on a 2010 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • There is not a required ball mount for this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 75673. Since you are worried about clearance I would recommend you use a Trailer Hitch Ball Mount, part # D-4. This ball mount has a distance of 10-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball hole. You would have plenty of clearance to run this ball mount in the rise position. I attached installation instructions below as well as a review video of this hitch for you to check out.

  • Determining Which Ball Mount For Towing New Trailer W/ 2" Coupler
  • Since the trailer you purchased has a coupler that requires a 2" hitch ball, you will need to either replace the 2-5/16" hitch ball on your current ball mount or purchase a separate ball mount with a 2" hitch ball when you need to tow that specific trailer. If you are wanting to replace the hitch ball on your current ball mount you will need to measure the diameter of the hitch ball hole. Since it currently has a 2-5/16" hitch ball it more than likely has a 1-1/4" hole. For a 2" hitch...
