I would like to know what the drop dimension of the hitch is. also, has the length issue, witthe amount of tube that goes inside hitch, been remedied?

It is a class 1 hitch so it fits perfectly in my polaris sportsman. Not much play at all. I use grease on it and not noisy at all. I think the drop is around 2". I like it cause you can flip it upside down and get some ground clearence on trails with a trailer getting firewood.

CORRECTION!!!!! so sorry! i should really have more morning coffee before i attempt to answer anything.the statement about the top of the receivers' "square hole" is WRONG! the top of the long channel/tube on the Hitchmate is- 1-5/8" BELOW the bottom of the receiver opening.

I do not have the hitch as this location at this time, but this was a problem with me and what i did was put put the hitch onto the ATV 'upside down' which lowered it effectively.BHM

Hi, Donna. I may not be able to help out, as I had to modify the unit by cutting off a portion of the top horizontal bar. The portion I removed was the right most section starting at the right edge of the right vertical tube. I had to do that so that it would clear the bumper on my Rv. If that mod is of no consequence then perhaps you can tell me what you are looking for. To start with the tubingfor a standard 2" receiver, so the outside dimensions are 2 1/2 sq.

I went to double check. It approximately 4 inches from the end of the hitch receiver to the back of the top tube. I guessed before I purchased it that it might be a close fit but my Honda CRV bumper curves in toward the car and my U-Haul hitch is low (TOO low) so the distance I had to "play with" was better than what I thought.

You may have to call extang. If you fold it back it will still extend out about 2 feet 4,5 or 6 inches from rear window of cab. Not sure how much room your hitch needs. The entire cover removes in seconds if folding it back doesn't give you enough clearance. I am out of town but should be back in a couple of hours. Let me know if you want me to get exact measurements for you.

I measured 8 1/2 inches. I had to modify it a bit for it fit my club-car Ds since the floor of the back seat was longer than the hitch bracket. It is able to haul a jet ski with no problem.

I'd try to help but I don't understand the dimensions you provided. "11.75" what units and what is 11.75? However, if you need an extra hitch, you already have one to use as a gauge.

see: my correction .... also the square channel/tube portion of the Hitchmate protrudes 21-1/2" from the front of the receiver body into the truck. so be sure it doesn't have any obstructions like the rear differential etc.

First I bought this item and returned it as it was not a 2". Probably my mistake. I Purchased a similar item from a local trailer dealer. It has a 6" drop measuring from the top of the bar to the base of the ball mount. Warning: if you want USA made, make sure it states USA on the label AND that is the item you are receiving.

alot depends on the positioning of your hitch to begin with. I ended up buying an extra longer receiver that goes into the hitch to make up for the diference of not enouht depth. I've been away on holiday and actually putting on the bike for the first time this afternoon. Don't forsee any trouble.

Weight and tires won't be the problem however the width could be... may come close to the rear of vehicle. I also should point out the I use 7 straps with this it wobbles a bit so I strap the ends back to the hitch.

The hitch has been great. I'm sure the brackets will work. Call hitch Source or the manufacturer to confirm bracket size, I'm not around mine currently to measure, but I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the hitch!

The rack has a sleeve that fits over the tongue to make it 2". Removing 1 screw on the sleeve makes the rack accommodate a 1 1/4" hitch size

Please refer to the Curt website for specific information about all hitches. That's always the best way to research such issues. I'm just a user without details.
