Anyone have one or have used one?
I want to put golf cart in the bed of my truck and tow my camper. But I have to have the tailgate down which will not allow me to pull the camper because the jack stand will hit the tailgate.
So I was looking at the extra long hitch ball mount, 16 inches hole to hole. That would give me 7-8 inches of clearance between tailgate and camper jack stand…
Fish8; I’m guessing that you don’t want to just take the tail gate off for those trips? They come off pretty easy!
Easy, The wheels sit on the tailgate. Not much but it wont fit without the tailgate.
Gotcha![:0]

Look at CURT manufacturing. I got one for my Polaris to have the ball extended out. Works great.

From what I’ve read this issue with the extenders is that is reduces the allowed tongue weight by 50%. The extra long ball mount does not.
Has anyone used one to tow a camper or boat?
Check this site out the have long, extra long and super extra long. They also list max weights for them.

That is the site I got most of my info from. part # 80232.
That would give my 16" from the hitch pin. My tailgate is 18" from the hitch pin. But the camper has 10-11" to the jack stand. So I think that will work.
I’m wondering if it will cause sway

You could always get a sway control system if that is a huge concern. That site has them also.
Call Corbin’s hitch,maybe they can point you in the right direction.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

I’ve got one I use on my dually . I bought it at Northern Tool, really heavy duty. You can raise and lower the height by just pulling the pins out. It also has 3 different size balls.

Hey the golf cart uses batteries 
Hadn’t thought about his Carbon footprint. I’m calling Al on you! Your using more that your fair share. There are poor people going without heat because of you[:0]
I took the roof off the golf cart to make it more aerodynamic. Does that help?
