Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: B and W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount

Hello, neighbors and friends, Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at our B&W Tow & Stow two ball mount for a 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 shank hitch rated to 18,000 pounds in a nice black color. Now folks, starting off, I wanna let you know this has a maximum drop of 8 1/2 inches from the top here, and a maximum rise if it was flipped over of nine inches. It also has incremental height adjustments of 1 3/8 inches in between center to center, and the 2 5/16 ball here has a tongue weight of 1800 pounds and a towing capacity of 18,000 pounds. The two inch ball on the bottom here right now has a tongue weight of 250 pounds max, or a max tow weight of 7,500 pounds. So getting into it, I'll step aside so you can see a little better.

You got two hitch pin holes here on the top, and you have a distance from the center of that closest one to the center of 9 3/8 inches. And from the center to the farthest one away of 9 3/8 inches. I'm sorry, the farthest one is 10 1/2 inches. Now this is a, like I said, stowable design. So I'll go ahead and spin it around here real quick before we stow it.

But pretty simply, all you're gonna do is pull out these back two pins here, and this unit will flip underneath and stow out of the way. So right now we're sticking out, we're done towing, and we wanna make sure that we're not busting our shin as we're walking into this thing on the side of the vehicle and that kind of stuff. Simply pull out the pins again, this will be hanging up on your vehicle. You simply rotate down and backwards. (metal clinging) And then all you have to do is put the pin back in the correspondent holes.

And then you're ready to keep going down the road in a stowed position. So obviously I didn't put 'em back in all the way. I just wanna show you that they can stow. I'm gonna go ahead and fold it back over. (metal clinging) And we're gonna go ahead and put the pins back in.

So pretty simple to flip over. It's got that slot in there so it's not just gonna fall off the bottom or anything like that, so you don't have to be scared of it dropping on your foot. Now there are no additional locks required, 'cause because again, there's no way they can get this off the unit. So the only lock you would wanna buy probably is your hitch pin lock and there's no hitch pin included. That is sold separately. So I do recommend buying a lockable hitch pin just to protect your investment. It is made here in the US with a nice limited lifetime warranty by B&W. The pins there and the ball are stainless steel, and they're gonna be rust resistant. Everything else is a nice steel construction, and it's got a high yield tubing here for superior strength. Now that ball is also chrome plated on the outside to give you another level of rust resistance. Now let's say you want to switch balls to a different size ball. Well, that's simple too. You simply pull the pin here, pull the other pin, and you would simply just rotate it down, and replace the pin into the hole, and now you're using the two inch one. So it really is pretty versatile. B&W does a good design, good job designing these and making 'em user friendly and being able to use on multiple vehicles, multiple trailers without having to worry about, you know, getting a different ball mount for each one and that kind of thing. So it's very nice design and everything. Well, folks, I think that we'll wrap it up for our look today at this B&W Tow & Stow ball mount again for a 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch hitch ready to 18,000 pounds capacity. I'm Steven, thanks so much for your time. Thanks for watching and have a great day.
