Features to know about

Keeps Every Trailer Level: 10" Drop or Rise

Different trailers sit at different heights, and getting that match wrong can throw everything off. The adjustable height on this mount gives you up to a 10" drop or 10" rise, so you can line up your trailer perfectly every time. Just pull the pin, set the height to match, pop it back in, and you’re ready to roll with a clean, level tow.

Switches Trailers Without Hassle: 2" and 2-5/16" Combo Ball

If you tow more than one trailer, you’ll appreciate how fast this mount swaps between sizes. The two-ball combo—2" rated for 10,000 lbs and 2-5/16" rated for 12,500 lbs—covers most setups without needing extra gear. Flip the ball over to match the coupler and get back to towing in seconds.

Tows Smooth Without the Mess: Greaseless AlumiBall

No more dealing with sticky grease or cleanup after every haul. The Greaseless AlumiBall is designed to stay smooth and easy to use so you can focus on towing instead of maintenance. It pairs everyday convenience with solid performance mile after mile.

Built Tough for Heavy Loads: Aluminum Construction

Strength matters when you’re hauling serious weight. The aluminum shank keeps things solid while resisting wear and corrosion from weather and road grime. It’s engineered for long-term reliability without adding unnecessary bulk.

Safe and Straightforward: Certified Performance

Every tow setup deserves peace of mind. This mount meets V5 and SAE J684 safety standards and carries a maximum tongue weight of 1,500 lbs. With its steady build and simple adjustment system, it’s ready for demanding hauls that need dependable performance every time out.

Video Transcript for Review of Andersen Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - Aluminum Rapid Hitch 2 Ball 2-1/2 Inch - AN86VR

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Andersen aluminum Rapid Hitch with greaseless Alumiball two-ball mount for your 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver. This lightweight yet tough aluminum adjustable ball mount is designed for heavy-duty towing and this does feature Andersen's Alumiball that's greaseless to help keep things smooth and mess-free. It's made to stay smooth and easy to use so you spend less time cleaning and more time towing. And as I mentioned, this is made for your 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver and this mount is built for towing heavy loads.

So it's gonna be great for your boat trailers, your campers, your heavy-duty trailers, and a whole lot more. It comes with two ball sizes, so you've got your 2 inch ball and your 2 5/16 inch ball. You're gonna be able to easily swap between those ball sizes. And the gross towing capacity when you're using the 2 5/16 and inch ball is 12,500 pounds. The 2 inch ball is 10,000 pounds.

This has a maximum tongue weight of 1,500 pounds. So the mount is adjustable, allowing you to raise or lower the ball platform to match the height of your trailer. This is going to be especially useful if you tow trailers of different heights. You're gonna be able to tow those different trailers all with the same vehicle because of the adjustment this gives you. This is going to give you a maximum drop, or rise when you flip this over, of right about 10 inches.

And then you're gonna have an incremental height adjustment of 1 inch. So take a look at how easily the ball platform slides up and down the shank. I have it on the 2 inch ball. Let me go ahead and swap it over to the 2 5/16 inch ball. There is a pin inside of that ball platform that holds the combo ball in place in the platform.

So I'm just going to swap that over to the 2 5/16 inch ball. And I'm gonna try to line the holes up here. Let me put it up just another notch there, just so it holds a little more even on my turntable. So slide that pin right into place and then the clip will go right in as well. So what I hope you can see is you're not gonna be at the back of your truck, struggling to get the ball size or the height adjustment that you are looking for. So you're not gonna need any special tools to make that adjustment. This is of course, constructed of high-quality aluminum. It's going to resist rust and corrosion while being strong, yet lightweight. And in case you we inchesre wondering, the distance from the center of our hitch ball to the center of our hitch pin hole on center, we're sitting at about 9 1/4 inches. So if you're a truck owner who tows multiple trailers of different heights, if you're looking for a maintenance-free hitch with no greasing of the ball required, if you're looking just for a lightweight yet strong option for a ball mount that's adjustable or if you tow even, in frequently harsh conditions because of the aluminum build, the durable aluminum build, this is really gonna be a great option for you to consider. So if you do decide to pick one of these up, let us know how you're using it, let us know how it's working for you. You can give us a call, you can shoot us an email, you can leave a review and send us some pictures of of your setup as well. We enjoy seeing how our neighbors are using the products that they purchase from us. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

This was the perfect solution for the squatting issue I was having towing my new trailer with my SUV.



by:

I like that it's aluminum so it's easy to move around and fast to set up. I got the Andersen locking bolts for security as well. I normally tow a 5th wheel but have an occasional need to tow conventional trailers so got this mount. For those who want to keep it installed, you can't flip around the balls on the inside because the mounting slots are only on the outside. That's not an issue for me because it's removed when not being used. All in all very happy with it

This product is really different with the all aluminum design. I wanted some
top rated hitch that won't rust up, even though other steel hitches are usually just experiencing surface rust. It has the numbers for towing I need and I don't know how anything could be improved.

SO I am adding my experience with this hitch after 1 year of use and it is working well and there are not negative comments to make about it. I would still give it 5 stars in all ways that means.
