How to Pick Out Rise/Drop Ball Mount for 2017 Honda CR-V with Draw Tite Hitch
Question:
How do you determine what size ball mount I’m suppose to purchase for a 2017 Honda CR-V with 2” Draw-Tite hitch? Not sure what the right length, rise, and is recommended.

I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground.
Next, you will need to compute the difference. If the hitch height is greater than the coupler height the difference is the drop required. If the coupler height is greater the difference is the rise required. You will want to pick the ball mount with the rise/drop closest to the difference.
