Tow Ball Mount and Ball

[ozana]

Hi there,
I'm planning to rent a motorcycle u-haul and tow my motorcycle- 300kg/650lb and I need to buy the ball mount and the ball. I've realized there are sooo many types of mounts and balls. Do you guys know what exactly do I need? What size for the mount? Rise or drop?
thank you

I'm almost positive it's 2" by 2".

The balls can vary. I think it would be best to go to U-Haul and ask them what size you need. It's probably going to be a 2" ball as well.

thank you. and for the mount? rise or drop? do you know?

I'm not really sure to be honest, but if you buy one like this you should be able to reverse it so that it either rises or drops.

The aluminium rapid hitches are nice because they have room for two balls and can adjust for different trailers. They run over a $100 but they are worth it if you have a couple trailers or vehicles.

you gonna have to flip the hitch around so the drop is on top
