Brophy Ball Mount Review BM20 Video

The tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch will be reduced by 50 percent if you put a bike rack in the MaxxTow hitch adapter part #MT70066 but not the overall trailer weight towing capacity. So your hitch would still have a 5,000 lb towing…

We've pulled one of the #MT70066 ball mounts from stock and got the measurement for you. The lateral distance between the hitch pin hole in the shank and the rear of the top receiver is 5 inches. I've shown this dimension, and others in the…

When fully retracted, or collapsed the jack is 28.58 inches tall, and 38.42 inches tall when extended as shown in the provided diagram. I've linked you to a product description video featuring the #ORJW1SU ARK Extreme Off-Road Ratcheting Trailer…
