This ball mount offers two distinguishing features that provide a smooth towing experience. First, a threaded, stainless steel hitch pin weaves securely through a threaded hole in the ball mount. This innovation pulls the ball mount to the receiver tube and eliminates the horizontal (left to right) gap that leads to rattling. Second, as the ball mount is pulled to the side, the floating "gold wedge" is pushed to the top of the receiver tube and is wedged in place. This prevents the ball mount from moving vertically (up and down) in the receiver tube, eliminating slack in all directions. The annoying "clanking" is now gone and the drivetrain is better protected.
The hitch pin includes a brass lock with a dust cover to protect it from road debris. With a maximum 10,000lbs gross towing weight, this ball mount accommodates any 2" hitch receiver and offers a 1" shank hole. It also sports a rugged, powder coated steel construction.
The image of the back side of the ball mount shows its hollow shank. On the inside is a threaded, square block that is welded into place. It works with the threaded hitch pin to pull the ball mount to the side of the hitch receiver opening. The gold wedge on the left can float to take up additional vertical space in the receiver tube.
