Features to know about

Built for Big Loads: 36,000 lbs Capacity That Doesn’t Flinch

When you’re pulling heavy trailers, you need a mount that’s as tough as the job. This BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount handles up to 12,000 lbs with the 2" ball and up to 36,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball. The solid steel design and welded gusset keep everything stable under serious weight so you can tow heavy equipment, boats, or large campers without worrying about flex or fatigue.

Adjusts to Match Every Trailer: 7-1/4" Drop and 7" Rise

If your trailers sit at different heights, there’s no reason to keep swapping mounts. The adjustable channel gives you up to a 7-1/4" drop or 7" rise so you can level nearly any trailer right from the same setup. Just slide the ball platform up or down and lock it in place with the included pins and clips—it’s quick to dial in and keeps your trailer running level and steady down the road.

Solid Steel from End to End: CNC-Chamfered Shank and Welded Balls

Every part of this mount feels overbuilt for strength. The shank is CNC-chamfered solid steel for easy receiver fitment, while the 5/16" thick channel plates and 1/2" welded gusset keep it rigid even at maximum drop or rise. Both hitch balls are welded directly to the platform so there’s no movement or looseness—just solid contact every time you hitch up.

Fights Rust and Road Grime: Matte Black Powder Coat with Nickel/Zinc Hardware

Road salt and moisture can take their toll on exposed steel, but this setup is built to outlast it. The matte black powder coat finish protects against corrosion, while the included heat-treated pins feature a nickel undercoat with zinc topcoat for extra durability. You get long-term strength that stays looking clean even after repeated use in rough weather.

Works with Multiple Trailer Styles: Two Ball Sizes and Accessory Options

With both a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball welded onto the same platform, it’s easy to switch between trailers without changing mounts. Flip the platform to pick your coupler size and pin it back into place—it’s that straightforward. You can also add accessories like a clevis, shackle attachment, hitch step, or weight distribution shank (sold separately) when you want more versatility from the same heavy-duty setup.

So far I am extremely happy with this hitch. It is very heavy duty. My towing capacity has changed and needed to upgrade to a heavy duty hitch. I have no doubts this is going to be Bulletproof!! It is very well built and a solid shank.



by:

I need a solution for my BMW SUV to tow my boat and trailer with two ball sizes and very different height requirements. This worked perfectly. The name Bulletproof fits well - I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and engineering.



by:

Great hitch, and great experience with etrailer. The shipping was fast, and everything was packaged nicely. I even put the sticker on my truck window.



by:

I have bulletproof hitches on all my vehicles. The quality is awesome and won't use anyone other than etrailer for my towing needs.



by:

Fit truck and trailer better than expected. Pulls heavy trailer very well. That is why I bought locks to try and keep the hitch from being taken.



by:

Very high-quality hitch! The shipping was FAST!



by:

heavy duty that’s for sure. packaging was excellent and no chance of it getting damaged in transit.Its got some weight to it so that’s good.Powder coating is nice.Its definitely getting the job done.



by:

Rust starting to show and coating has worn off. Rep suggested this drop length and it is definitely too much even with my 2500. Not a product flaw a customer service flaw



by:

The product was delivered as promised and I have had the opportunity to try it. I'm very happy with it. Some reviewers complained about noise, so I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet my connection was especially compared with my previous hitch. I am very confident that will me meet my towing needs!



by:

Not my first time dealing with Etrailer and definitely not my last. Easy ordering and on time every time. Hitch is built very well exactly what we needed to tow our skid steer around. Seems very solid compared to otehrs we looked at.

Thanks etrailer.
