Recommended Ball Mount for a EcoHitch Mounted Behind the License Plate

Question

Question:

I had the EcoHitch Invisi hitch installed on my 2015 Chevy Volt. Only problem is my old 2inch drawbars/ball mounts previously used with pickup hitches dont fit in the receiverthey go in, but not far enough to line up the holes. What drawbar do I need to fit that hitch?

From the hitch pin hole to the edge of the license plate is 8" with the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7186 installed on your 2015 Chevy Volt. With this in mind, I recommend the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches item # 2753. It measures 9" from the hitch pin hole to where the hitch ball sits so this will give you plenty of room to clear your license plate and the back of your car.

For hitch balls you will want item # 63845 for a 2" ball or item # C40002 for a 1-7/8" ball.

We carry a very handy 2 inch ball mount for this exact application. The part is #D210. The ball mount slides and pins into your hitch and the top receiver will accept 2 inch bike racks and hold them above the ball. The Ball Mount has a 500 lb tongue…
