Hi Keith! Yes! You can do so online or visit your nearest U-Haul Center.
I have a 2022 Hyundai Tucson N-Line with a 2" receiver. It is 14" from ground to the top of the receiver. 2 questions, How much rise/drop do I need for a utility trailer? and can I load and haul a 2 seater golf cart using either the 5 X 9 Utility trailer with ramp or the 6 X 12 Utility trailer with ramp and which utility ramp would be best suited for this purpose?

What size tow ball do I need for a U-Haul trailer
Hi Carl. You will need a 2in ball. Have a great day!
My hitch receiver height is 16" from the top inside of the receiver to the ground. Can I use this one to tow your cargo trailer?
Hi Khoa! The recommended height should be 18" - 24" to be even. If you stick with the 16" it will have a slight incline & will put more tongue weight on the hitch which could be damaging depending on the cargo weight. I hope that helps.

What is the Auto Transport /Vehicle Trailer HITCH HEIGHT from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler, so I can plan ahead and get the appropriate hitch. Thanks
Hi Gordon, You need a ball mount to raise your hook up to where the ball is no less than 18" above the ground. Or, no more than 24" above the ground. If you are going to be pulling a heavy trailer, try to get a rise closer to the 24". A light trailer closer to 20" above the ground. In either event, please check with a UHaul Center if you have any questions. Thank you

I have a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe with a class 3 hitch what size drop down receiver do I need to tow a Uhaul 5' x8' trailer.

I have a factory installed class III towing hitch installed on my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. Is this the right ball mount? It does not specify the class this is for but I need a 2" ball.
Hello! Please select a 2" ball mount that closely matches the trailer coupler height when level and that has a weight capacity that exceeds the gross trailer weight. To do this, measure the top of the receiver to the ground, then level trailer and measure from the bottom of the coupler to the ground, the difference between the two measurements will be the correct ball mount height needed. You will then need to purchase and install the 2" ball - U-Haul part 4944 features a weight capacity of 7,500 lbs and industry-leading safety cotter pin.
You can also opt to visit your local U-Haul Hitch Center for a free towing inspection. I hope that is helpful!

You need a ball mount to raise your hook up to where the ball is no less than 18" above the ground. Or, no more than 24" above the ground. If you are going to be pulling a heavy trailer, try to get a rise closer to the 24". A light trailer closer to 20" above the ground. In either event, please check with a UHaul Center if you have any questions.
Is this available with a 2" ball ?
The ball on this product is a 2" ball. Thank you.
How do I know if I need a 2 1/4 or 3 1/2 inch drop. Which does a U-Haul trailer require?
Our hitch pro writes: "For a safe comfortable ride the trailer should be set up to tow on a level plane, U-Haul trailer coupler heights when level are approximately 18 inches off the ground. However, before you tow it is always recommended to visit your local U-Haul center for a free tow inspection."

How to install it to my SUV, I don't have any experience before. Is the Uhaul staff can help me finish the installatin? Thanks
Hello! Any U-Haul Hitch Center would be happy to assist you with installation of your towing starter kit. Please visit or contact the center of your choice. Thank you!
If I were to purchase a lock for the tow while utilizing a U-Haul 2 1/4" or 3 1/2" starter drop, what size lock pin is required? 1/2" and 5/8" hitch pin? Or, does U-Haul sale locks as I would rather lock the trailer on rather than deal with someone disconnecting the trailer and possibly driving off with it.
Hi, Richard! The U-Haul 2" Starter kits are designed with a 5/8" diameter pin hole. Please see the U-Haul lock set part 3794DAT. Thank you!
What is the distance between the center of the hitch pin and the center of the ball/post?
Hi, Ann! The distance is 8-1/4 inches. Thanks for asking!
Am I purchasing this or just renting?
Hi, Nichole! If you purchase the towing starter kit, it is yours to keep. This product is not available for rent. Thanks for asking!
Do i return the tow hitch starter kit when i am finished??
If you purchase this item, it is yours to keep. It is not a rental item.
do you offer hitches to fit 1.5" receivers?
U-Haul offers the industry standard 1-1/4", 2" and 2-1/2" hitch receivers and ball mounts.
My tow bar hitch is 12 inches off the ground, so would I need Towing kit that would set the ball @ 18'' above the ground making it a 8 inch up set up?
You need a ball mount to raise your hook up to where the ball is no less than 18" above the ground. Or, no more than 24" above the ground. If you are going to be pulling a heavy trailer, try to get a rise closer to the 24". A light trailer closer to 20" above the ground. In either event, please check with a UHaul Center if you have any questions.
Is this available with a 2" ball ?
The ball on this product is a 2" ball. Thank you.
How do I know if I need a 2 1/4 or 3 1/2 inch drop. Which does a U-Haul trailer require?
Our hitch pro writes: "For a safe comfortable ride the trailer should be set up to tow on a level plane, U-Haul trailer coupler heights when level are approximately 18 inches off the ground. However, before you tow it is always recommended to visit your local U-Haul center for a free tow inspection."
