Ball Mount Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Highlander Towing Travel Trailer
Question:
I am looking at purchasing your Curt 13534 hitch. I need to the proper /ball mount, and cannot find the ball dimension to keep the trailer level. The trailer I am looking at says to keep it level the top of the ball needs to be at 12inch from the ground. The top of the 2inch square hole on the 13534 is 14-1/2. The ball size for the trailer needs to be 1-7/8. That is the ball size- I cannot find the dimension from the top of the ball to the flange that the ball sits on to calculate the I need. Do you have information to figure this?

Expert Reply:
Thanks for all of the dimensions you listed. Since drop/rise needs the measurement from the ball mount platform and not the top of the ball you will need to take one more measurement to be sure. That measurement compared to the 14-1/2 inches is the rise/drop you would need. Check out the help article I attached for more info on this.
For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118449.
