What Rise/Drop Ball Mount is Needed for 2003 Toyota Highlander to Tow U-Haul Trailer
Question:
I have a 2003 Toyota Highlander, Limited edition 6 cylinder with a Reese type hitch attached to the vehicle. Im renting a U-Haul trailer. Its a 5 by 8 enclosed trailer. I need a 2inch ball according to U-haul. My question is how much or rise will the removable hitch need to be?

Expert Reply:
The standard U-Haul trailer coupler height is 18 inches from the ground to the bottom of the coupler lip. And the height from the top of the Reese hitch you have on your 2003 Toyota Highlander (now part # 41541) to the ground would be 15-1/4 inches so you'd need a rise ball mount that's right at 2-3/4 inches like the Draw Tite ball mount part # 2753 with a 2 inch ball # 63845 and you'd be set!
