How far from the end of vehicle receiver hitch is the back of the top tube? I need 5" distance to clear bumper on my van. Thanks for any help!

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.

Maybe measure ... "2 IN x 2 IN tube cover" see Curt page https://www.curtmfg.com/part/21728 Not much to it, it's a rubber cap that goes on the end of the hitch.

I am away from my trailer for a while but can say that it is around 6 - 7 inches. It doesn't extend as far as I'd like so I still have to use a block to get it off my hitch. I Drive a Tacoma with 3" drop on the hitch. If I had a wheel on it, I would have clearance issues while driving. Hope this helps

Depending on which hole you put your hitch pin in It has a few different lengths to choose from. I have it set so it is about 6 inches from the bumper. I have even been rear ended with it and it saved me having to be without my pick up while a new bumper would have to be installed. Very worth it!!!

The receiver tube protrudes about 1/2" out the back. You can see pictures here http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Curt/13333.html

Quick answer: I have a Tahoe and the hitch does not extend past either side of my truck and sticks out less than 3' from the rear.

The center of the hitch receiver measures 12" [one foot] above the ground. I use a ball hitch upside down to give 2" more above that. Also, I've installed AIR LIFT 60732 1000 Series Rear Air Spring Kit to the rear springs. I've never had a problem with this set up.

It sits up fairly high, with the metal crossbars angled up from the hitch...probably would just depend on where your exhaust pipes come off the truck in relation to the back bumper.

Not sure with a tire on. I no longer have the vehicle or the hitch or I would install the hitch hand measure the distance between the back window and where the hitch comes up vertically . Sorry

As Carey Randall stated, yes you can reverse the hitch; however, I'm not certain it would be a true 5" rise without measuring it.

I have my flagpole hitch mounted to the back of my Chevy Silverado and it has a clearance of 17 in. from the back of my tailgate(with it up) and 13 in. from the edge of my bumper. Hope this helps.

The receiver arm extends 7 1/2 inches from the basket with the receiver pin hole at 5 1/2 inches from the basket. On my Accord receiver the pin hole is located about 3 3/4 inches forward of the backward plain of the bumper and the basket then clears the bumper by 1 1/2 inches... a perfect fit for not having the load extended too far back yet enough clearance to do tie-downs etc. I am really happy with the basket and the adapter has worked great when I have used it with a 2" receiver on my Caravan.

Hangs right below and tight to the back bumper. Higher than the stated minimum ground clearance of 8.7". It measures 11.25" from the ground to the very bottom of the hitch.

This particular hitch is just over 3 feet tall from the bottom to top and one foot deep. However once attached to the hitch, it is just over a foot away from the back hatch of the vehicle. So after attached and loaded, 2 feet from the back of the vehicle. Totally worth it for the price, serves its purpose and easy to use!

There is a 2 1/2" off set from the top of the hitch to the bottom of the basket. This can be turned to where the off set is turned up to where the basket is higher or turned down to where the basket is lower.

Usually most hitches are either 2 inch or 1.25 inch. I used this extender on my camper van which has a 2 inch receiver. Just measure how big your receiver on the trailer hitch is on your vehicle. If it is 2 inch then it should work fine.

I believe the height was about 28".. I have a 2008 Silverado and cut off 5" and that left me about 2-3" clearance between the cab and the rack.
