Hitch mount drop?

[DrTron]

Hello all,

I was wondering this never came up, but I could not find anything related to it:

I need a hitch ball mount for my 2019 1500 and I was wondering what drop to get for your average light trailer. I don't plan to get a trailer myself, but want to rent some landscaping equipment occasionally, and those usually come on a low trailer.

So are we talking about a 2" drop or does it need to be more? I suppose a Class III mount is totally sufficient for that, right?

Thanks!

Edit: I just read that normally the trailer coupler height is around 17 inches from the ground. I think the RAM receiver is about 21 inches from the ground, so that would work out to a 4 inch drop?

Hello, if this is a concern, why not just look at the adjustable options out there. There are several options ranging from light duty like the one pictured all the way up to some heavy duty ones. Hope this helps.
