Class I and II Trailer Hitches and Accessories are 1-1/4 Inch
Question:
ball mount is listed as class II but has a 1-1/4 inch shank. can that be correct?
asked by: Paul H
Expert Reply:
Class II trailer hitches and accessories all have 1-1/4 inch receivers/shanks. Class III accessories and hitches are 2 inch.
If you have a Class I or Class II trailer hitch then you are supposed to use the ball mount recommended by the trailer hitch manufacturer for warranty reasons. If you have a 2004 Scion xB then all of the hitches for it are Class I trailer hitches and you should be using ball mount # C45521.
I have included some links on hitch classes and ball mounts for you.
