Trailer Hitch

So to be able to pull a trailer you need a hitch.

I luckily saw the potential future need of a hitch when I got my car and it has a factory 1.25" receiver installed.




But on top of that you need to get the ball mount and ball.  I got a 2" ball and the highest lift I could find for the 1.25" receiver, which was only 4".



The trailer is level at 23" but with the 4" lift and my receiver height I'm only at 18".  It should work for towing but is not optimal.  I'll look around a little bit more for a larger drop ball mounts.  However they do appear hard to come by.
