Can Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer be Towed with Vehicle that has 1-1/4 inch Hitch
Question:
I have a 2017 SUBARU XTREK SW 4X4 2.0I PRM. It has a hitch installed with an inch and a quarter receiver. This Malone trailer requires a two inch ball on the receiver. Can I use a sleeve that converts my inch and a quarter receiver to a two inch receiver with a two inch ball and then safely tow this trailer?

Expert Reply:
Hey Kelly, there's actually an easier way to tow the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer part # MPG464-LB with the current hitch you have installed as this does not require the trailer hitch to be a 2 inch trailer hitch and instead just requires a 2 inch hitch ball. You would just need a ball mount for your current hitch like the part # 3594 and a 2 inch hitch ball like the # 19258.
