What Ball Mount is Needed for a 2011 Chevy Camaro For Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch 60266
Question:
Ball Mount Needed...for 2011 Chev Camero Coupe. If I buy the hitch #60266 which ball mount is needed due to 12 inch from hitch pin to outside edge of the bumper. Is the a ball mount that is 15 inch in length from the hit pin to the mount ..? What do you recommend ?

Expert Reply:
The Hidden Hitch trailer hitch, # 60266 (no longer available), actually comes with the correct ball mount, hitch pin and clip. On a Class I hitch, like this one, or Class II hitch, you must use the ball mount recommended by the hitch manufacturer or it will void the hitch warranty.
The ball mount measures 10 inches from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole but it is sufficient to clear the rear bumper because of the angle that the rear fascia is at. It is12 inches higher on the vehicle but not down where the ball mount will be. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.
For a ball you can use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch diameter, or # 19258 for a 2 inch diameter. For trailer wiring, use # HM11141285. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the wiring as well.
