  • Options for Securing Au-Tomotive Gold Honda Trailer Hitch Cover AUT-HON-C In Hitch Opening

  • The Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier, # M2205, that you referenced will work with your 2011 Ford Edge and will not require the use of a hitch extension or adapter.

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock For 2 & 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Have Towing Capacity
  • Hitch locks do not have towing capacities, including the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches - Stainless Steel # C23519. Reason is because locks (and pins & clips) do not bear weight in the same manner as hitches or ball mounts, for example. So you just need to follow the capacity of the hitch or ball mount (whichever is lower).

  • Installation of 20k Fifth Wheel Hitch # RP30928 Fit on A 2003 Ford F-250/350 Super Duty Truck
  • The head unit on the Reese M5 20k Fifth Wheel Hitch, part # RP30928, can be removed from the head support of the hitch by removing one large pivot pin held in place by a large cotter pin. This will make it easier for one person to remove the hitch from the vehicle. Our description says two pins and clips, but it is only one on the 20K hitch. I am going to have them update that information. The rubber bumpers included with the # RP30928 hitch are designed to prevent and/or limit contact...

  • Can The Master Lock 2866DAT Work With A Hollywood Racks Sport Rider HR1000Z Bike Rack?
  • As the hitch pin on your Hollywood Racks Sport Rider # HR1000Z bike rack is threaded, the Master Lock # 2866DAT locks will not fit without having to drill the threads out of the shank. The threads are there so that when you tighten the pin into the shank, it will secure the rack more tightly and keep it from wobbling in the hitch. Drilling them out will cause you to lose this feature. I can also say that Master Lock parts will only work with Master Lock parts, so there is a very very high...

  • Is there Substantial Modification Required to Install a Hitch on a 2012 Infiniti m37x
  • The Curt Hitch # C11111 will not require drilling for installation on your 2012 Infiniti M37, however there will be some trimming of the underbody panel prior to installation. This trimming would not be visible from the rear of your vehicle. This trimming is necessary to allow the receiver opening to pass through this panel.

  • Recommended Lock for Securing Reese Cargo Carrier to Vehicle

This will take the place of the standard pin and clip to attach the cargo carrier to the hitch receiver. It features a patented, pick-proof, screw-and-lock security design, a double-chrome plating for superior rust resistance, and all...

This is a Class III hitch rated for 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight, 400 pounds tongue weight. The trailer you plan to tow is right at this limited.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Trailer Wire Harness For 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

For the Class lll hitch I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop...
