Eyefor Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 My tow hitch is about 2" / 50mm low for my (twin axle) trailer coupling and was considering putting a fixed height adjuster plate in place to correct that - but, as I tow various other trailers, I thought I'd look at the adjuster tow hitch fixings but they all seem over engineered, expensive and ugly? Would anyone know of a simpler adjustable tow hitch please - or do I stick with the fixed plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Tightchoke - I used one of these on my Discovery - towed a variety of trailers. Excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian willetts Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 That’s not bad I think mine with a bolt on hitch and pin was about £70 all in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Remove the pins and take it off when not in use. Not so ugly and traveller proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief man, buy one and get it to me. We can paint it any colour you want! Surely if it works the colour is of little concern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
