Trailer is not Level When Towing with Recommended Drawbar
Question:
I purchased this hitch and the recommended drawbar but my trailer is not level when towing. Front is lower, is there anthing I can do to get my trailer level?

Expert Reply:
The instructions (see link below) state that the drawbar must be used in the rise position only, for your Pontiac Vibe. Drawbar 3593 has a rise of 2-1/8 inches, and only the drawbar recommended for a Class I hitch should be used. The manufacturer tests for crash safety on Class I and Class II hitches and their recommendation should be followed. If your drawbar is in the correct position and the trailer is still not level you may need to haul that particular trailer with another vehicle.
I have posted a link on how to measure for correct towing height and ball mount selection.
