So far the calculation is very straightforward as our example vehicle has a receiver height that is greater than the coupler height of the trailer. The result of the equation is simply the amount of drop you need for your hitch. But what if your vehicle’s receiver height is less than the height of the trailer coupler? For that, you will need a riser hitch. Typically a ball mount will be applicable for both a rise and drop. For instance, a 2” drop hitch is also a 3/4” rise; the greater the drop, the greater the rise. [links]

The information here is applicable to any bumper-pull trailer out there, so regardless of what you’re pulling, these calculations will work for your vehicle and trailer!

What you will need to bring with you to connect the trailer to your vehicle is a drop or rise ball mount hitch. Shown below are a ball mount hitch with a 2” ball (left), and a ball mount hitch without the ball (right). If you are getting a standard package trailer from us, you will need a ball mount hitch with a 2” ball, with the drop or rise height that we’ll calculate further down the page. If you are getting an all-road or off-road trailer from us, you will need the drop or rise ball mount without the ball, and with a 1” diameter hole. More on that below.

The ball mount is designed to be inserted into the receiver of the hitch. There are different styles of ball mounts, so please refer to "How to Measure - Where do I Start?" below.

Re: Hitch ball hight . is there a standard ? [links]

[bretthomas8]

Hitch ball height can vary by trailer. The key is for the trailer to ride level, just as Gary stated.

I tow 6 different trailers and have 5 different drops for it to fit my truck. They make my trailers ride level. My wife is tired of seeing all my balls lying around the garage.

While most trailers do vary, I'd have to say the average tow height of most is about 18".
Boat trailers often vary by tire size though, the key is often to get the boat as low as possible, this means that the tongue is often pretty low.

What is the average height for a trailer hitch? I installed a class V reciever and I'm looking for a drop hitch. and I'm not sure where my goal height should be. Don't have a trailer yet, so I can't just go out and measure.

The new ultralite TT w/ 2" hitch are 15" to top of ball when level, good hitch height for them is about 13" [links]

[M8R-lfitc6]

Avg travel trailer w/ 2-5/16 hitch, top of ball is 23" when level, set hitch at 20 - 21" for easy hook up and towing.
