An illustration shows the eleven inch clearance level needed between the ground and B and W Tow and Stow hitch.

Note: To avoid the Tow & Stow hitting steep driveways or curbs, we recommend at least 11" of clearance between the ground and the lowest point of the drop hitch, as seen above.


The B&W Tow & Stow adjustable ball mount lets you tow a variety of trailers with different tongue heights. Having a 1-7/8" ball, a 2" ball and a 2-5/16" ball allows for even more versatility, making this the ultimate go-to ball mount if you own multiple trailers.


Easily Adjusts and Stows

B&W Tow & Stow Ball Mount Operation

To switch the hitch ball, simply remove the pin holding the balls in place and rotate the entire block that the balls are mounted on until the ball you want to use is on top. Then replace the pin to secure the block in place.


Adjusting the height of the ball is just as easy. Remove the pins holding the ball mount platform in place and slide the platform up or down along the shank to the desired position. Once you have found the correct height, reinsert the pins and replace the clips.


When you're not towing, you can flip the ball mount platform around and stow it beneath your hitch so that you won't bang your shins. Just remove the pins to slide the ball platform down along the channel and up the back side so that the hitch balls face towards your vehicle. Then replace the pins.


Built-In Anti-Theft System

The Tow & Stow ball mount features a channel that runs along both sides of the shank. This channel not only allows you to slide the ball mount platform up and down to adjust the ball height, but it also prevents removal of the platform when the ball mount is installed, which will help prevent theft of your trailer.


Single Dimensions

A slot is cut into the adjustment channel near the top of the shank. To remove the ball mount platform from the shank you will need to remove the entire ball mount from your hitch. Then remove the pins that hold the platform in place. Flip the platform around to the stowed position on the rear of the shank, and then slide it up until the center pin lines up with the slot in the shank. Pull the platform out towards the rear of the shank until the pin pops out of the adjustment channel.


When the Tow & Stow is secured in your hitch receiver, you will not be able to remove the ball mount platform. This is because the slot in the shank is positioned in such a way that the collar on your hitch will block the pin on the platform from being able to leave the channel. Even if the pins holding the ball mount platform in place are removed, the platform will still be confined to this channel. So, as long as a hitch lock is used to secure the entire ball mount in your hitch receiver, and a coupler lock is used to prevent your trailer's coupler from being disengaged from the ball, your trailer will be secure.

  • Height Difference of the 3" and 5" B&W Tow and Stow 3-Ball Adjustable Ball Mounts
    Out of those two options, I recommend the 3" Drop B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount item # BWTS10047B for your 2019 Ford F-150. Both the 3" B&W Tow and Stow item # BWTS10047B and the 5" B&W Tow and Stow item # BWTS10048B are recommended to have 11" of clearance from the lowest portion of the ball mount to the ground so you don't have to worry about hitting the ground. So the 3" drop one would be better than the 5". I have linked a diagram below that will show you the overall lengths. While...

  • Vertical Dimensions of B&W TS10033B and TS10047B
    The height of the # BWTS10047B B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 3" Drop, 3-1/2" Rise is 8-1/2." The # BWTS10033B B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 3" Drop, 3-1/2" Rise height is 6-1/2." They do have a stowable design which lets you store the balls and mounting platform under your vehicle. The platform flips underneath the hitch for both models I have attached a video review for both which includes a demonstration of the stowing feature.

  • How Much Ground Clearance Do You Lose With the B&W Tow & Stow BWTS10048B
    The distance from the top of the shank to the bottom of the platform on the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10048B while in the stowed position is 8-1/2". I am not sure where you were measuring from but if you measure from the top of the receiver tube opening to the ground and then subtract 8-1/2" that will then give you your ground clearance measurement. Unfortunately, there are too many variables at play to give you a definite answer as to whether or not it will scrape but you...

  • How To Determine Correct B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount For 2 Inch Hitch
    You made a great choice with the B&W Tow & Stow, as it is considered by many to be the best ball mount in the industry due to its strength and anti-theft design of the platform. In order to determine which one is correct for your F-250, you will just need to take two different measurements to ensure you get the right one. Just measure from the ground to the top of the inside of your Ford's hitch receiver; next, measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler and find the...

  • Length of Curt Slim Adjustable 2-Ball Channel Mount from Hitch Pin Hole tp Bracket
    Thanks for reaching out! From the hitch pin hole to the back end of the height adjusting bracket on the Curt Slim Adjustable 2-Ball Channel Mount - 2" Hitch # C46KR measures about 5-3/4" and then from that same hitch pin hole to the start of the support bracing measures about 3-1/2" (see attached).

  • Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch # C67JR vs OEM for 2020 Subaru Outback Onyx XT
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C67JR is a great option for your 2020 Subaru Outback. The hitch installs between the frame and the bumper using the same hardware from the manufacturer, so it won't impact the frame as it actually may further stabilize it. As long as you are towing within the capacity of the vehicle, any issues that could arise would be covered under the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. I recommend doing a search and reading up on it.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Chevy Colordao
    I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 for your 2020 Chevy Colorado for a few reasons; it features a hidden crosstube so that only the receiver is visible and then it has a matte black finish which not only makes it look more durable than a glossy finish, but it also plays the part as it does a better job of covering up any dings from road debris. Since you will be using this for towing you also need the Wiring Kit # HM11141144 as well as a ball mount. For the ball mount...

  • Ball Platform On 3" Drop B&W Tow & Stow Hits Bumper When Stowing
    In regards to the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10047B, so long as you have the hitch balls pointed down there should be no issues stowing the ball platform under the receiver tube. I suppose there could be some odd setups that don't allow for this on the 3" drop version and for those instances I recommend the 5" drop version part # BWTS10048B. I can't recommend only using one pin to secure the ball platform in the stowed position due to the risk of the ball platform failing due...

  • Trailer Hitch with Most Capacity for 2019 Ford F-150 Truck
    The trailer hitch with the most capacity that fits your 2019 Ford F-150 is the Curt # C26HR, which has a 1,000 lb tongue weight capacity and 10,000 lb towing capacity. This is a Class IV hitch with a 2 inch receiver that is a complete bolt-on installation which does not require any type of drilling into your truck's frame. This hitch has a mostly hidden crosstube, as you can see in the accompanying photo, so your 2019 F-150 can maintain its factory appearance. The Curt # C14017 is made...

  • Trailer Hitch for Towing with a 2012 Chevy Tahoe
    The only trailer hitch that was designed for your 2012 Chevy Tahoe is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13161. The Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41947 is a pretty big hitch that is designed for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500 cab and chassis model which is pretty different to what you have. With that being said, it looks like your Tahoe has a towing capacity range of 5,200 lbs - 6,000 lbs so since the Curt is rated for a max of 6,000 lbs you will be able to tow with your Tahoe to it's...

  • Recommended Locks for B&W Stow and Go Ball Mount in Hitch
    The hitch lock I recommend for the B&W Stow and Go Ball Mount # BWTS10047B, you were looking at, is the # BX8858. Currently, there is no lock available that will replace the adjustable pins on the B&W ball mount. If your coupler is locked to the hitch ball it would take someone with this exact ball mount assembly to be able to steal your trailer so it would be highly unlikely. I have linked the above mentioned products to this page for your viewing and purchasing convenience.

  • What Is Needed To Tow With a 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL450
    The highest rated trailer hitch we have for your 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL450 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13102 which does have a class III rating but is limited to only 3,500 lbs. The reason that this trailer hitch is rated so low is because it is designed to fit other GL models like the GL350 which has a much lower towing capacity when compared to the GL450. Therefore, in order to receive a trailer hitch that is capable of your vehicle's maximum trailer towing capacity of 7,500...
