Here is something to think about with towballs being to high that many of you will not be aware of the caravan technical department was not much use when I contacted them about it
if you fit a drop plate to a tow ball to reduce the height they have to be tested at the same time together at the point of manufacture otherwise they can void the insurance if the worst happens , also brink don't make drop plates so are never tested together and witter does not recommend them and if you tow with a commercial vehicle including pick ups they are illegal after 2014 by a Euro directive
i ordered a new 67 plate ford ranger wildtrak pickup , ford was also not aware of this issue and fair play to ford they give me my deposit back
they are a lot of people towing like this unaware of the consequences , if the worst ever happens they are giving the insurance companies a get out of jail clause
its well worth doing the research before buying a new tow vehicle, I'm glad I did
