Passport 292BH coupler and frame sizes?

I'm taking delivery of a new 2020 Passport 292BH that's being shipped to me from out of state on Friday, so I need to buy a hitch tomorrow.
There are two crucial measurements I'm not able to find anywhere. Does anyone happen to know these, or is maybe willing to measure for me?
What I need is:
1) The coupler size
2) Frame size (see the measurement I need here - https://youtu.be/2p49qWzAFd8?t=182)

I'm going to phone the dealership tomorrow so they can measure for me, but not sure I'll manage to catch them before it's transported.

thanks!

The ball is 2-5/16. Not sure on the frame size.

Don't know what your tow vehicle is but that is a 7200lb. trailer so get a good weight distribution hitch with built in sway control. I prefer 4 point sway control and I used an Equalizer which I liked a lot.

Yeah, towing with a new F250 Diesel. Planning on getting the Andersen no-sway hitch.

I did manage to get measurements from the dealer, so I'll post them here as a service to any future searchers:

2020 Keystone Passport 292BH
Coupler size - 2 5/16"
Frame size- 6"

I don't see it "highlighted in the 2020 brochure" but previous Passport models were considered "ultralite trailers" and their construction included NORCO frames. That frame is not the typical welded I beam chassis with crossmembers welded in place. The NORCO frame is a stamped steel frame, assembled with huck fasteners. Much of the frame has holes stamped in it (in strategic locations) to reduce weight, while maintaining structural rigidity... Or at least that's the way the brochures described it.

Ultralight means "thinnest available, lightest available and equates to "not as sturdy or long lasting" Although many members get complete satisfaction with ultralight models, take a long hard look at your intended use and compare them to those models with conventional frames. There is a difference in construction.....

Hi There

What was/is your coupler height at level to determine the 4" or 8" drop/rise? I am in a similar situation needing to order before the trailer arrives.


Thx
Britt

Here's the BAL (Norco) frame on my 2020 Passport SL. No holes on the main beams. Covered underbelly.

Here's the one I think you're thinking of, John. They call it Ultra Frame. Those hole you reference are there.
