Selecting The Correct Size Ball Mount For a Class I Receiver to Connect To 2 Trailer Coupler

asked by: Michelle C
Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use a 2" Ball # C40018 with your 1-1/4" receiver on your vehicle. The class I receiver will require a specific ball mount as the 1-1/4" receiver has a shortened tube and only a class I ball mount will fit. The Ball Mount # C45520 has the same 3/4" ball mount opening to accept the mentioned 2" ball.
Before selecting a ball mount you will want to determine the distance from your trailer coupler when the trailer is level to the inside top of your receiver tube is. This will give you the amount of rise/drop you will want your ball mount to be. Next you will need to determine the length from your hitch pin center hole you have to clear the rear of your bumper. This is important to ensure that you ball mount will clear your bumper and that your trailer is far enough from your vehicle.
I have attached an image with the measurement points needed on your vehicle. For your trailer you will need to have it level and measure to the bottom edge of the coupler. Once you have this information I can help you determine the correct ball mount to connect your vehicle to your trailer.
