Features to know about

Keeps Every Trailer Level: Adjustable 5" Drop and 5.5" Rise

Different trailers sit at different heights, and that can throw off your setup if you’re not prepared. This B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount adjusts in 1" increments, giving you up to a 5" drop or a 5.5" rise so you can level out boat trailers, campers, or haulers with the same hitch. Once you’ve got the right height, lock it in place with the included pins and clips for a smooth, even tow.

One Mount for Every Coupler: Built-In 3-Ball Design

No need to carry multiple mounts just to swap trailers. This setup includes three hitch balls—1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16"—each with its own weight rating: 3,500 lbs, 7,500 lbs, and 10,000 lbs respectively. Just pull the pin, rotate the ball section to the size you need, and reinsert the pin. It’s a simple design that makes switching between different trailers quick and tool-free.

Stows Out of the Way: Fold-Under Ball Platform

When you’re done towing, flip the ball platform underneath your hitch for a clean look and safe clearance around your shins. The stowable design keeps the mount out of sight but ready for next time. Just remove the pins, swing it under, and secure it again for travel—no need to pull the whole hitch out of your receiver.

Built Strong and Rust-Resistant: Durable Steel with Protective Finishes

Heavy steel construction with high yield tubing gives this mount its solid feel and towing strength. The balls are chrome-nickel plated for rust resistance, while the shank’s powder-coated finish helps it stand up to road grime and moisture. Stainless steel pins hold everything together with sturdy, corrosion-resistant connections that stay tight trip after trip.

Keeps Clearance in Check: Smart Hitch Geometry

The mount’s pin holes measure 9-1/4" and 10-3/8" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball, helping you fine-tune how far it sits from your bumper or accessories. For best performance, keep at least 11" of clearance between the ground and the lowest point of the drop section to avoid contact on steep driveways or curbs.

I love these hitches. Very well priced and so convenient!!! Works great on my ram 3500! Shipped quick and arrived with 0 issues from Missouri to Tennessee!
by:
It works. But the things are very expensive and it bent on me the 1st time I towed my heavy trailer. It must have been slightly overwait but now I can't even move the pins to adjust the height or stow at. Pretty disappointed in the hitch and went back to my old forged hitch. One of the problems is my truck being an F350 dually has a smaller class 4 receiver, This means that I had to get the lighter weight adjustable hitch and I'm just not impressed with it. Would not buy again.

Yeah, this is only rated for 10k. I would replace it if I was you. If it is bent, it could affect the safety rating of the ball mount.

Received my B&W tow and stow today (February 16, 2018) and this thing is a masterpiece and a beast!. I pick apart anything that I buy and I can't find one thing to say negative. B&W made this with precision and heavy duty materials, very solid!!, even the packaging. The browning logo is well done, slightly recessed so it shouldn't get nicked. I will mainly use it for a 800 pound waive runner and at times a 2,500-4,000 pound trailer. I love the adjustability and the stow capability. This looks to be my last hitch ball. Thanks Danny T (customer service)
by:
It has worked for everything I have needed. Great when you can stow it away and not have to dig out a different size ball every time you hook up to a different trailer. I have had a few friends order them based on seeing mine.
by:
Excellent website, with good videos. Customer service is excellent-- you deal with real people at the company, not a call center. My item was on backorder and I got a personal email from a sales rep informing me of alternative products in case I needed something sooner. I haven't used the hitch yet, but I am sure it is a quality product.
by:
Heavy duty and quality comes to mind when I first opened the box to this truck hitch

Fast (FREE!) shipping! Great quality product! Easy operation with quality materials.
by:
Love it. One of a kind with the Browning logo.
by:
Good products. Purchased for Resale at the request of our customer. We have sold several of the folding hitch and have had no problems.
by:
Works great, stows great. Looks tidy stowed; no need to ever remove.

  • Recommended 3-Ball Tow and Stow Compatible with Custom Bumper
    We do have the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5.5" Rise - 10K - Browning # BWTS10048BB which has a pin hole farthest from mounting block dimension of 5-5/8 inches. Another option with the same depth measurement is the # BWTS10047BB which has a 3 inch drop. These are the only B&W hitches that have the 3-Ball option that will fit your bumper. I recommend the hitch lock # BWTS51234 to secure your investment.

  • Is B&W Tow & Stow With 5 Inch Drop Most Popular For 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    Yes, you're on the money because the most popular B&W Tow & Stow ball mount for 2 inch hitchers is indeed the one that has a maximum of 5 inches of drop or 5-1/2 inches of rise. There are actually two versions of this, one being a 2-ball mount and the other being a 3-ball mount, and a couple color options: - 2-Ball Mount: B&W Tow & Stow - Browning # BWTS10037BB or Black # BWTS10037B - 3-Ball Mount: B&W Tow & Stow - Browning # BWTS10048BB or Black # BWTS10048B Both ball mounts have a...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2022 Chevy Colorado
    I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 for your 2022 Chevy Colorado because it has a matte black finish that blends in better with your truck and will do a better job at hiding any scratches that might happen from flying road debris. If you are planning on doing some towing then you also need wiring and a ball mount to round out your towing setup. For wiring I recommend the Hopkins # HM11141144 which splices into the existing wiring and seats in the bumper,...

  • 2022 Toyota Highlander Towing Parts Recommendations with EcoHitch Trailer Hitch
    The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH35VR is most definitely a fit for your 2022 Toyota Highlander. I like this hitch because it has the hidden crosstube and a really robust construction. To add wiring and a brake controller to your setup I recommend picking up the T-One Wiring # TK99FR, 7-Way Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L with Mounting Bracket # 306-X6020, and then the Curt Echo Wireless Controller # C51180 with the Manual Override Button # C83HR. The T-One wiring is the best we have...

  • B&W Tow & Stow Adjustable Ball Mount Adapter for 2 Inch Receiver
    There isn't an adapter available, because using one would reduce the hitch capacity to the point where it wouldn't be safe. I checked to see if B&W perhaps offered a 2 inch shank, but unfortunately they do not. You'd be best off selling your # BWTS20049B Tow & Stow and using the proceeds toward one for a 2 inch hitch. If you would be interested in a replacement that offers the same 7 inch drop/7-1/2 inch rise as the one you currently have, you could use part # BWTS10049B. However, you'll...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for 2005 Ford F-150 with etrailer Hitch Receiver
    I recommend pairing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e58KR on your 2005 Ford F-150 with the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048BB. I really like the Tow & Stow ball mounts because they not only have the ability to store under your hitch receiver, but the triple hitch ball setup means you are capable of towing virtually any trailer you need to. Attached is a review video for you to check out!

  • 2022 Ford Ranger Trailer Hitch and Towing Parts Recommendations
    To tow a trailer with your 2022 Ford Ranger I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e63ZR. I attached an installation video for you to check out. For wiring you need the T-One # 22124 but I recommend swapping out the 7-Way that comes with it with the Hopkins # HM40975 so you have both a 4-Way and a 7-Way connector for any trailer you'll be towing. If you need a brake controller I recommend checking out the Redarc...
