What size hitch ball do I need for this? Or does it matter?

If you're talking about towing with the actual "ball" you will need to look at your trailer. it will usually either be 1-7/8" or 2" ball but make sure to get the 7/8" shank (threaded part). If you're talking about the Ball Mount. it should be supplied with one. When I bought mine, it did not come with it. So I bought one at home depot. If you need more info, just lemme know! I have this setup on my civic and im also an auto tech. -Dan

Yes. I bought the optional combo ball with 2" on one end and 2 5/16" on the other. This hitch has performed well, but does tend to flex when heavily loaded. I pull a 24' enclosed car hauler that weighs around 6k pounds loaded. Sometimes it worries me. I may go to something heavier duty.

depends on the size of the hitch ball, should fit over a 1 7/8 ball, will work in any size plot, also depends on if plot is oval or square, need some room to turn around and go in opposite direction or you have to stop and manually reset to straight rows.

You probably would just need the B & W turn-over ball unless you have need to extend the hitch rearward due to lack of space of a tool box or other factor.

No match. If the hole is 1", get a ball with a 1" shaft. If not you will end up with potential play in the shaft and could come loose after towing. It could be fixed with a 3/4" to 1" bushing, but is cheaper to get the right sized shaft for the hole.

Easy way would be to measure it if you aren't familiar with either receiver. https://www.etrailer.com/faq-hitch-size.aspx

Im not sure if locking pins vary in size, my guess would be any locking pin should be ok. The pin fits the hitch first, so if it already fits your hitch it should be fine.

You can buy the ball at almost any auto parts store, U- Haul dealer or Tractor Supply. You just need to know what size the hitch on the trailer or other rolling item requires

I believe the rack is rated for a 200lb / 2,000lb (tongue / load) weight, which would equate to a 3/4" shank on the ball to fit the 3/4" hole on the rack (we ran into the same thing). If you can find a 2" ball with a 3/4" shank, that would also work; you'd just have to ensure you didn't exceed the 2,000lb towing weight on your 10' trailer. The rack / hitch combo has worked great for us...as long as we observed the shank diameter and capacities.

Both of the hitch pins are industry standard sized pins, so all the holes on all receiver hitches should fall under the sizes of these two pins. By chance if your receiver hole has been drilled out or modified then this would be the only time I would worry about. You can google the two sized holes if you are concerned about the size and see if your bolt diameter is the size of one of the pins.

I'm not 100% sure of the measurement request, so let me adjust it to say; In it's lowest position the bottom of the ball hitch is 11" off the ground. At its fully raised position the bottom of the ball hitch is 21" off the ground. This would mean that you can adjust the bottom of the ball hitch between 11" to 21" as long as the wheel hasn't sunken into soft ground. ( if the TOP of your trailer ball -on your vehicle- is 21" or higher then your trailer ball will not clear the underside of the trailer hitch without some kind of change.) Hope this helps.

You need a clear exposed piece of two inch hitch bar for it to fit on. That piece has to be about three inches long. It did not come with any adapters for smaller bars. It fits very snugly on the two inch bar. I think you would have to but an up adapter form 1 1/4 to 2".

Check tow rating for your vehicle, has 2" receiver, 2 5-16 ball and 6" rise 2" drop shank, also make sure you are within the tongue range for what you are towing.

I use a standard hitch pin for my receiver hitch. I'll measure it this evening. CN

No you will need to get a hitch adapter, the best one i found is through uhaul that goes from 1 1/4 to 2, you will need to get the short adapter because a type 1 hitch has stoppers to prevent you from using a larger hitch adapter.

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!

It's built for a 2" receiver. You would need an adapter for a smaller hitch.
