B and W Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - BW49FR
Highlights
- 10,000 lbs GTW for Heavy Loads: Handles large trailers, boats, and campers without switching mounts.
- 4.5" Drop or 5.5" Rise for Level Towing: Adjusts height to match different trailer setups.
- Three Built-In Hitch Balls: 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" sizes cover multiple couplers in one mount.
- Stowable Ball Platform for Clearance: Flips under the hitch to stay out of the way when not towing.
- Steel Shank with Rust-Resistant Finish: Dual-process chrome balls and black powder coat resist corrosion.
- Secure, Low-Play Design: Stainless steel pins create tight, durable connections with the receiver.
Features to know about
Keeps Every Trailer Level: 4-1/2" Drop and 5-1/2" Rise
If you swap between trailers often, matching each one’s height can be a hassle. This adjustable mount makes it simple. The platform slides along the 2" shank in 1" increments, giving you up to a 4-1/2" drop or a 5-1/2" rise. That range keeps your boat, camper, or utility trailer level and towing straight no matter the load.
One Mount for All Your Trailers: 3 Built-In Hitch Balls
Instead of juggling multiple mounts, this one covers them all. The built-in 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" hitch balls handle gross towing weights of 3,500 lbs, 7,500 lbs, and 10,000 lbs. Just pull the pin, rotate to the size you need, and reinsert the pin. It’s a quick switch that saves space and time when you’re pulling different trailers.
Stows Cleanly When You’re Done Towing: Flip-Under Design
Nobody likes shin bruises or a cluttered look when the hitch isn’t in use. With this Tow & Stow design, you can flip the ball platform under the receiver for a clean bumper line. Secure it with the included pins and clips and you’re good to go—no removal needed between trips.
Built to Last Through Heavy Use: Steel Construction with Protective Finishes
Towing gear takes abuse from weather and road grime, but this mount is made to handle it. The steel shank has a black powder coat for corrosion resistance, while the hitch balls use dual-process chrome plating for added rust protection. Stainless steel pins keep everything tight and secure even after long runs.
No-Rattle Strength for Smooth Towing
Loose mounts can clunk on every bump. This setup uses a solid shank with tight pin fitment to keep movement minimal in the receiver. That solid feel translates to quieter, steadier towing—just a stable connection that keeps your trailer tracking straight behind you every time you hit the road.

Fits perfect on my 2024 GMC1500 AT4. At the lowest setting and showed it fully clears the multi Pro tailgate when lowered. The receiver hitch has about 10” of clearance from the ground, in rocky off road situations I would want to remove it if not towing.

I love the build and design, but I had to drill out the pin that that is used to select the correct size ball size. The hole is slightly oblonged and will not let the pin move in and out freely. It would be five stars if not for that (somewhat major) issue.

Truly the last mount I’ll ever need. It fits perfect on my 2021 Sierra AT4 and even works with the multipro tailgate, which was an important fact for me in selecting a mount. etrailer is the best and from my personal experience ordering from them, they typically deliver FASTER than they estimate and provide excellent and friendly customer service every step of the way. This purchase was no exception.

- Does B&W Tow & Stow Come In Other Ball Sizes? What Lock Can Be Added For Security? Hey James, the B&W Tow & Stow ball mounts also come in 3-ball configurations like # BW64FR and # BW49FR. These have the same 2" and 2-5/16" balls, in addition to a 1-7/8" ball. That way you can tow any trailer without hassle, and still flip it down to the back when not in use so you don't hit your shins. In order to prevent this high end ball mount from getting stolen, I'd add a lock like the etrailer # e98881 which fits all of the models mentioned above. It's a super common and reliable...
view full answer... - Ball Mount for 2024 GMC Sierra With MultiPro Tailgate Hi Brian, welcome back! The B&W Tow & Stow does have a few models specifically designed to work with the MultiPro tailgate so it won't hit the ball mount. To get a 1-7/8" ball you will need a tri-ball that also has the 2" and 2-5/16". You can choose from the following based on rise/drop and receiver size: -B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro - 2" Hitch - 2.5" Drop/3.5" Rise - 10K # BW64FR -B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro - 2" Hitch - 4.5" Drop/5.5" Rise - 10K # BW49FR -B&W...

This is basically the exact same thing as the B and W Tow N Stow part # BW49FR except it only has two hitch balls. It fits the 2 inch hitch size, was designed for the MultiPro tailgate and has same rise/drop figure as well.

The # BW64FR you were looking at is designed to be compatible with the MultiPro. Assuming you need one for a 2" hitch we have the following options available: -B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro - 2" Hitch - 2.5" Drop/3.5" Rise - 10K # BW64FR -B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - MultiPro - 2" Hitch - 10K # BW44FR -B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball...

view full answer... - What Locking Pins Should I Use With B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount BW49FRHello Bruce, thanks for reaching out. Technically you can use a total of 4 locking pins for the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BW49FR. One for the receiver, one to secure the ball and two to lock the ball platform to the shank. You can get away with doing just one pin for locking the ball to the shank, but a lot of people will just do two out of an abundance of caution. We actually offer lock sets specifically for this purpose. Here is what I recommend: InfiniteRule Locking Pins for B &...
view full answer... - Comparing Hitch Ball Heights For 2" B&W Tow & Stow 3- Ball Mount For MultiPro/MultiFlex GM TailgatesThe B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount 2-1/2" Drop # BW64FR and 4-1/2" Drop # BW49FR both adjust in 1" height increments. Both of these will have at least 1-1/2" of drop in the highest position when positioned in the drop position. So the 2-1/2" drop hitch can only be placed with 1-1/2" or 2-1/2" of drop. The 4-1/2" drop hitch can be placed with 1-1/2", 2-1/2", 3-1/2" or 4-1/2" of drop. For a stock height GMC Sierra 1500 Denali I recommend sticking with the 2-1/2" drop hitch. The 4-1/2" drop is...

Since your 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 has the MultiPro Tailgate you'll want to use the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro # BW49FR instead. This has the same specs aside from having a 4-1/2" rise as opposed to the 5" rise of the part you were looking at. The head piece is different though which is why it can fit with the newer tailgate design. I also recommend securing your investment with a hitch lock. You can...

This is currently the largest drop available in the ball mounts that are made by B&W that are compatible with your tailgate.

That said, if I were you and I needed some help getting in the bed I would simply rotate the hitch balls so that the side without a ball attached is facing up. This, combined with the ball platform section would provide a nice spot for your foot to rest. It's also height adjustable using the built-in rise/drop feature of the ball mount.

The B&W is a solid, sturdy ball mount with a durable steel construction and stainless steel pins to keep it secure.

The only option for a 5" drop is the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - Compatible with GM MultiPro Tailgate - 2" Hitch part # BW49FR which would require the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve part # BWRHXA2182.

If so, the retractable portion is not something available separately, you would have to get a new ball mount. There is an option that is designed specifically to work with the GMC tailgates though, which are the following: - B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro - 2" Hitch - 4.5" Drop/5.5" Rise # BW49FR - B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - MultiPro - 2" Hitch - 4.5" Drop/5.5" Rise # BW29FR

The difference between the two is going to be the amount of drop they provide. There's no MultiPro tailgate compatible ball mounts that only have a 1-7/8" and 2" hitch ball.

I consulted further with B and W. Ideally you would want the end of the receiver to go into the indentation in the back of the hitch. Use of a reducer sleeve will cause the MultiPro tailgate to contact the ball mount. If the ball mount cannot slide further in then going with ball mount part # BWTS20067BMP for a 2.5-inch hitch would be the way to go.
