Expert Reply:

Most of the Convert-a-Ball cushioned ball mounts like # AMSC2 have around 5 inches between the hitch pin hole and the closest edge of the platform. From my research a Towtector system requires 1-1/2 inches of space to be installed.

So it depends on how the ball mounts will fit into your vehicle's receiver. But with those measurements you should be able to determine if it will fit.
