How To Determine Correct Ball Mount/Hitch Ball To Tow 1995 Load Rite With 2008 Toyota Tundra  

Question:

Helpful Expert Reply:

I would be happy to help you determine which Rise/Drop ball mount and size hitch ball you will need to tow your 1995 Load Rite trailer with your 2008 Toyota Tundra, but you will need to measure your hitch and coupler height to find this out as we do not have this specific information.

Starting with the coupler height you will need to park your Tundra on level ground then measure from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver opening. Next for the coupler height make sure your trailer is level then measure from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler.

The difference between these numbers tells you the rise/drop needed to tow the trailer level. For example if your hitch height was 22" and the coupler height was 18" you would need a 4" drop ball mount, and if you had a hitch height of 18" and a coupler height of 22" you would need a 4" rise ball mount instead.

The included help article does a great job of walking you through this.

Moving on to the correct hitch ball size you will need to look on the top of the trailer coupler as it will be stamped there.

When deciding on the correct hitch ball you will need to match its shank diameter to that of the ball mount you pick.

I included links to our selection of ball mounts and hitch balls for you to look through, or if you respond back with the above information I would be happy to recommend the correct components for you.
