Recommended Ball Mount for 2021 Subaru Outback Towing Trailer with 15-1/2 Coupler Height
Question:
Hi, I have a 21 Subaru Outback Onyx XT that has a hitch height of 17 and have a trailer that has a height of 15.5...from my calculations Id need a 1.5 hitch ball mount, but I cant seem to find one. Can you help? Thanks!

I have a solution for you, but there's not a ball mount with exactly a 1-1/2" drop. The goal is to tow your trailer as level as possible, so using a ball mount like the one that comes in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989891 that comes with a 2" drop would work just fine. This kit comes with both 1-7/8" and 2" hitch balls to allow you to cover trailers with different coupler sizes, plus a hitch pin, clip and storage bag.
