Recommended Trailer Hitch and Ball Mount for a 2009 Chevy HHR
Question:
I own a 2009 Chevy HHR, I am looking for a hitch that will put the center of a 1 7/8inch ball at 13 1/2inch to keep my trailer level. What hitch/drawbar combination do you suggest to accomplish this?
asked by: Dale W
Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Class I # 24756 and Draw-Tite ball mount # 3594 because the top of the receiver to the ground is 10-1/4 inches and the ball mount will give you a 4-inch rise. As a result, giving you a 14-1/4 inch ground clearance and stay above the 13-1/2 inches. The weight will bring the clearance down a tad from the 14-1/4 inch clearance which will keep your trailer more level.
The wiring for your 2009 Chevy HHR is # 118407 and 1-7/8 hitch ball is # 19256.
