Quick and clean and great information. Remember that tongue weight will cause a little vehicle sag and you may have to allow for that, raising the hitch a notch, to maintain the level trailer when connected.
Have to accommodate for squat.....that's what I screwed up and ended up paying like 500$ for to buy another hitch till the returned one got accepted. If your lifted just always buy the 9 inch
At 1:24, he says to measure to the BOTTOM of the receiver tube but it looks to me that he is measuring to the TOP of the tube. Just trying to figure out which one I need. Thanks!!!
I would think that you should add a very critical 4th item, the weight of the trailer. Make sure your ballmount and ball are capable of carrying the weight of your trailer and contents. Some 2 balls are rated at 10,000 lbs. BW 2" ball is rated at 7.500 lbs.
On stock height vehicles, we find that a 3" or 5" drop on our Tow & Stow works well. However, because each truck and trailer combination is unique, we recommend taking these measurements when you receive the vehicle, just to ensure you get the correct drop for your specific truck and trailer setup.
@@BWTrailerHitches Thank you. Yes I will, but I did some research and measuring today, and I think I can readjust my hitch enough for it to work. I appreciate your comment.
Just ordered my hitch, do you guys know what size the holes are that the cotter pins go thru? Thinking my 5/32 lockout lockable wire might work. Thanks!!
Great vid considering that hitch for my 16 3500 Ram DRW 4X4. I tow a 21ft boat w/ double axels and a car trailer for my sons 240sx.. what would you recommend?
Hi Jackson, it would depend on the drop required for both trailers and the receiver size on your truck. You can visit our website to choose between our different options to find the model that would work best for you: www.bwtrailerhitches.com/bumper-towing
What is funny, is I watched 2 videos, one was a 1" drop. and this video is a 7" drop. But no one said what to, as Most hitches are solid and rise or drop in 2" increments. so you do sit high or go lower. verse these specialty way expensive hitches.
Is it safe to use only one pin on the lowest setting tow a utility trailer, Ball remains aligned with one pin on top but the bottom pin hole is going to low for the hitch pin section?
