Ball Mount for EcoHitch of 2016 Subaru Crosstrek Towing Rental Trailer
Question:
I bought an EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 from etrailor for my Subaru Crosstrek and now I would like to tow a 5x9 Utility Trailer from UHaul with it. The UHaul site says that I need a 17/8inch or 2inch ball, and that the maximum ball height is 25. Is there a Hitch Ball that you would recommend? Many thanks!

Expert Reply:
For a ball mount to use with your EcoHitch # 306-X7203 installed on our 2016 Subaru Crosstrek that would have it's hitch height at roughly 16-1/2 inches from the ground you'd need a rise of 8-1/2 inches roughly if the 25 inch dimension U-Haul gave you would give you a level trailer ride height. That does seem like a high figure but if that's what they gave you I'd assume it's best number to go off.
So based on that you'd want a ball mount like the part # AMSC10. Then for a 2 inch ball you'd want the part # 40038.
