Convert-A-Ball Pintle Mounting Bar Review - 2003 Dodge Dakota- Video

Today on our 2003 Dodge Dakota, we'll be test fitting the Convert-a-Ball cushioned adjustable pintle mounting bar for 2-inch hitches rated at 10,000 pounds, part number AMPC2. Before we begin our test fit we will firstly obtain the hitch height of our vehicle. This is the measurement from the ground to the inside top of the receiver tube. The hitch height for this vehicle is 15-1/4 inches. Keep in mind this measurement may vary due to tire size, hitch style or after market accessories. We'll now begin our test fit by sliding the shank of the mounting bar into the opening of the hitch and securing it with the pin and clip. You can use this in the drop or the rise position. We'll start off in the drop. Now from the ground to the center of the bottom set of holes is 9-3/4 inches. We can now flip it over into the rise position and we'll then measure from the ground to the center of the top set of holes, and we'll get a measurement of about 18-1/2 inches. If your vehicle's hitch height matches ours and your trailers ride height is on or in between these two sets of measurements, this should be an appropriate pintle mounting bar for you. That will complete today's test fit for the Convert-a-Ball cushioned adjustable pintle mounting bar for 2-inch hitches, part number AMPC2 on our 2003 Dodge Dakota. more
