Ball Mount Recommendation for Needing 7 inches of Rise
Question:
I have a Curt Class III towing hitch 13343 on my 2012 Toyota Sienna Limited AWD. I measured the height to the top inside of my receiver at about 10.75 inches. Whats the best/recommended ball mount for my set up? Seems like most things I might tow are going to need a lot of rise off that low of a receiver. Most immediately, I am looking to tow a U-Haul trailer and I understand their average coupler height is 18.5 inches, so I figure I need a rise of roughly 7.75 inches for that one. What ball mount product is likely to work for me in the most towing applications, including this one? Thanks for any recommendation you can offer.

Expert Reply:
Based on what you mentioned it does seem like a rise of about 7 inches or so would be ideal for you. For a fixed ball mount the part # C45338 would be a really great option or for a more universal solution an adjustable ball mount like the part # FA42-00-2600 would cover basically everything.
