You can find adapters to go from 1 1/4" - 2"

Actually, the $169.63 from E-Trailer is "cheaper" since it ships FREE

I see there are 2 hitches for the smart. What is the difference between the two besides what the GTW is?

I just put on the E-trailer hitch. Got a class 2 ball mount with it to make the rise 5.5. Doing a mod to the mount to make it a bit higher. Will post pic if it works.

im using a 4.5" rise class 1 for my trailer and its a tad too high, im keeping it till im loaded down with all my camp gear and then we'll see where it ends up. with the curt hitch from etrailer.

Awsome, I love the idea of towing stuff with my lil'car, I work at a Marina and it's been the running joke that they'd use my car to tow some of the wave runners , well the boss is gunna lose his mind when I pull up actually towing one! Probably even get him to pay for it!lol

Thought a bit about the Class 2 adapter but with that and the riser receiver that will add quite a bit of weight (which I don't need because my car always carries two people so it always looks lowered). I still need to get a Class 1 riser.........maybe.
