Can anyone tell me the range of hitch coupler height for a 2015 S Maxx?  I want to get the proper ball mount.

    Yup, top of the ball should be 16" from the ground.

    Yep, 16" is supposed to put the trailer at level, which is ideal for towing.  I have had to make some adjustments to mine over time.  I moved the spare tire to the tongue and added a heavier duty battery.  I also tend to overload the back of the truck with just-in-case stuff.  The result has been that the original 16" height got a little lower.  I noticed a difference in towing.  I have raised the ball a little by adding a couple of huge split washers and added just a little weight to the back of the trailer.  Will give the new setup a test on the way to Tearstock.  If it doesn't work, adjustments will be easy.
