Recommended Ball Mount for Draw-Tite Class II Hitch 36540 on 2012 Toyota Camry
Question:
I have a 2012 Camry and was wondering if there is enough clearance to use this ball mount, 36071, with the drawtite hitch, 36540, in the rise position or should a longer ball mount be used? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
When installed on your 2012 Camry, the receiver of the Draw-Tite # 36540 isn't recessed very far under the vehicle so the Draw-Tite # 36071 ball mount will work perfectly in the rise position. The hitch pin is also included. For a trailer ball, use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 or # 19258 for a 2 inch trailer ball.
For a trailer wiring harness, I'd recommend the # 118405 from Tekonsha. To see install videos for the # 36071 hitch and the wiring harness I recommended, click the provided links.
