If you tow different trailers, getting the right height each time matters. The Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit w/ 2 Zinc Balls makes that easy with 1" adjustment increments up to a 10" drop or 11" rise. You can dial in the perfect level for everything from a small utility trailer to a heavy camper, keeping your rig steady and balanced on the road.
When it’s time to haul something serious, this mount is ready. It’s rated for up to 7,500 lbs with the 1-7/8" ball and 8,000 lbs with the 2" ball, with a tongue weight limit of 1,500 lbs using either ball. That means you can move hefty loads like equipment or larger trailers with confidence, knowing the heavy-duty aluminum build and solid zinc balls won’t flinch under pressure.
No more swapping out mounts every time you hook up a different trailer. The two-sided platform gives you both a 1-7/8" and a 2" diameter hitch ball, secured with an internal pin for quick changes. Just flip and go—this setup lets you switch between multiple trailers in seconds without digging through tools or extra parts.
The aluminum alloy shank looks clean and stays that way, even after years of towing in wet or salty conditions. It’s tough yet lightweight, so it won’t weigh down your hitch when left installed full-time. The zinc-plated steel balls resist corrosion too, keeping the whole setup smooth and easy to maintain season after season.
The mount’s 9-1/4" measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole gives extra spacing for tailgate clearance or accessories like mud flaps. It’s a simple bit of extra length that makes a big difference when you’re backing up or dropping the tailgate without interference.
Ratings & Reviews
Just installed, haven’t towed with it yet, quality after examination is spot on. The hitch lock set by Anderson towing products is very well machined.
Lori B. At etrailer answered all my questions, was polite and professional.
This is my first order from them but won’t be my last.
Very well made , simple and easy to adjust and change the size of the hitch balls. Happy with the quality and the looks of the hitch. The locking pins are easy to use and convenient with both locks keyed alike
I really like this hitch. Very good quality. Only short fall is that it should include the locks due you can't buy them in any store due to the length is longer than the normal pin lock. I recommend that should be sold as a combo. picture has the locks required
I ordered my AM3405 and was amazed how quickly the etrailer team responded with not only my order confirmation but the fantastic follow up when it was shipped and delivered. I highly recommend etrailer and will order from them again.
The product showed up in great shape and I am very happy with the quality. One recommendation would be to order two of the locking pins. One for the receiver and one to lock the ball mount to the unit. You will see by my picture I resolved that issue with a pad lock but the locking pin would have been better.
This is a really nice hitch if you tow a variety of trailers or need to get your ball up high as I need to do on my 1999 F450. I needed the ball up high to level my Jeep tow bar, so this is just the ticket for me. This hitch is made in the USA, which is great too. eTrailer.com service is excellent and their communication perfect. They obviously care about their customers and the product.
Only 2 things prevent a 5 star rating for this very pricey hitch. IMO, for the money, the manufacturer should also include: 1. a lock pin for the adjustable hitch ball. 2: an anti-rattle attachment.
Works flawlessly. I was very excited the day I got home and my Rapid hitch was on the front porch. It came in nice box and was packaged very well. I opened it up and unpacked my rapid hitch and I was very impressed with the quality and precision of this hitch. All of the machining was PERFECT and everything fit together right. I put it in my truck right away. Going down the road with the trailer on and off there is absolutely no rattles, clunks, or jolts. I also love how everything is aluminum or stainless steel, NO RUST. I wish I could've gotten the greaseless model but my boat is too heavy. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with locking pins. With a hitch this expensive I really wish it came with them. Do yourself a favor and order them with your rapid hitch so you don't have to pay for shipping in the future. Other than that great product and I believe it will outlast me.
Hello The hitch works great as viewed in the enclosed pictures. If inverted it hits the bumper, of my Dodge 2500. The section that goes into the receiver is about 1/2" too short and hits the bumper. I have not tried it on my other vehicle to see if this is a problem. Kind Regards Leon D
Sooooo....you sent me a product that was somehow put together backwards and I cannot take them apart somehow the ballhitch is stuck on the male portion backwards and defies gravity and doesn’t need a pin to stay on(becaue thier is no where to put the pin in cause it’s backwards
Haven't pulled anything with it yet, but overall it appears to be a quality product. There is over .0500 play in the hitch when mounted in the receiver. That will probably make a lot of noise. The adjustment part of the hitch seems pretty good.
I have been using the Rapid Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount
hitch for over a year averaging 3 days a week delivering new compact diesel tractors to customers. The hitch has held up very well with no signs of wear.
The Teflon black caps on the ball are awesome when hitching up, there is no problem with the receiver sliding onto the ball when miss aligned. I have recommended this hitch to many of my friends and customers, they too are pleased with the hitch.
I purchased this to replace a Fastway Flash E Series Ball mount that I purchased and returned from another online seller that did not provide enough clearance from my rear bumper in the rise position. My vehicle really needed the extra 5/8ths of an inch of length on the shank of the Rapid Hitch. Clearance was not a problem in the drop position; but with a receiver that's 18-inches off the ground, I need to use the rise position more frequently than many. The other thing I noticed is that this ball mount is feels more substantial than the one from Fastway.
In use, I prefer this to the Andersen EZ hitch I had been borrowing. It looks really cool. It has 5 adjustment positions rather than four and bit more adjustability in either direction. Plus, it still fits in easily in the storage area underneath the floor of my SUV. And did I say it looks really cool. I hated to put grease on the ball before I went to hook up the trailer. Also, I plan to get the lock set. It's looks great on my SUV and seems likely to disappear overnight and look great on someone else's vehicle.
just as described... would recommend to anyone...
So far so good, works great
Excellent product and fast shipping!!!
Customer service was outstanding. The young lady on the phone was, quick, knowledgeable and answered all my questions.
J have had more then tow hitch but this one is by far the best one.
Really like the hitch still after 1 year, just wish I had purchased the locking bolts with it. Make me feel more secure
I really like the product!
I only wish I would have ordered the locking pins for it.
Have not towed yet so can't speak about performance however hitch appears very solid. I can say that its very trick. Who doesn't love machined billet aluminum. I sprung for the locks as well since it's not exactly cheap. I will say that etrailer had the best price I could find on the web. Shipping was fast and free with great communication.
George at etrailer got my order shipped the same day it was placed and I placed it in the late evening after dinner. The order arrived, on time, as scheduled. I am very pleased with my Andersen 10-inch drop trailer hitch, and want everyone to know what an "OUTSTANDING" service etrailer provided to me. I will certainly do business with etrailer again in the future, and I highly recommend etrailer for your towing needs.
This hitch is fantastic. The universal size works well with any vehicle. It is solid, sturdy, there’s no “give” when towing. It doesn’t waiver in quality and craftsmanship. The fact that it has an interchangeable ball works out perfectly. I would recommend this hitch to everyone I know.
Great quality Ball Mount Kit. I had read review about not being able to mount it upward on the RAM2500 because the bumper was out by 1/2" too much. In my case it's about 1/8" off but my truck is very high (That's why I got the 10" kit) and I can't imagine ever using it in the upward position anyway.
It does rattle a lot but I think I can fix that with some thin rubber strips.
It shines so much that now the hitch attracts attention more than the truck, make sure you get the lock pins if you don't want to get it stolen...
Product looks and feels great. Only reason it got a 4/5 is because a truck driver friend of mine told me that he had one and the shank wore down from rubbing on steel bc of the aluminum on steel receiver contact. I might rig up a thin steel collar for it to prevent any degradation down the road. Works great on my truck with 7 inches of lift and 35" tires. Buy the Andersen Stainless steel locking pins for it so it doesn't walk off. New pins have better corrosion resistance and are less easily picked by thieves than standard barrel locks, plus they match the look.
Husband was happy with the hitch, mentioned how light it was
Very pleased with product, looks awesome on my lifted 01 Ford Superduty F-350. This 10 inch drop allowed me to keep my trailer level when hauling my 4 wheeler. Just in time for opening day.

After a year of use I love it. I hear too many problems from friends with other hitches and Im very satisfied with this purchase. It has stayed clean and shiny with just normal car washing and it still adjusts up and down smoothly. Still plenty sturdy and no more wiggle on the shaft then it had when I got it. Highly recommend getting the upgraded stainless steel locking pins from Andersen. Both locks are matching for each pin and far more secure than the standard barrel locks.
