2001 Dodge Dakota Ball Mount

Both the truck and trailer height...and it's a class III hitch.

Thanks.

I don't know much about trailer hitches but the information sticker for the truck claims it has a class IV hitch. It's a 2x2 receiver though.

I vaguely remember the same sort of confusion with my 2001 when I purchased it. In the end, though, it's a class III hitch.

How to I base this on? The hight of the truck or the trailer I'd be pulling?

I'm no tow-ologists or an expert in this in any way, shape, or form, but I was told you base the mount on what you are towing. You want the trailer/boat/whatever to be as level as possible. If the truck height is too low when trailer is attached, you get a "riser" and if it's too high, you get "reducer" I have 2 mounts for my 99 Dak, when I tow my boat ( 19 foot ), I use a reducer ( 2 inch drop )but when I use my travel trailer, I use a straight mount.
