Installation of Curt trailer hitch # C13702 is going to be different on any trailer or RV it can go on. But usually the rear bumpers are mounted up higher and would not interfere with the installation. You can check this by comparing the available space in which a hitch could mount on your trailer with the installation instructions I have linked for you.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

Thanks for the pictures! 2" hitches do not all have a 5,000 lbs capacity. The capacity varies by vehicle. That is an old Reese 06497 hitch and the sticker is correct. It does indeed top out at 3,500 lbs. It looks like this hitch came on all of…

Personally I wouldn't go with Timbren's for your needs. They're essentially rubber bump stops that prevent your suspension from flexing when weights placed on the rear of your Canyon. The major issue with them is comfortability when you…
