Today we're going to review part number 80418. This is the Hidden Hitch Replacement Ball Mount Plate. This is a replacement ball mount plate that's designed to fit on the Hidden Hitch Adjustable Ball Mount, part number 80412. We do sell that part separately on our website. This can be used to replace the plate that already comes with it, or if you want to have an extra one. It is designed to fit around a 2" wide shank of that adjustable ball mount.
Just to show you the inner diameter is 2". Now the holes. This is what the hitch pin would go through to hold it onto the shank. The diameter, or the distance between the holes here center to center is 3". The pinhole diameter to choose is a 5/8" diameter. Now the hitch ball hole diameter right here that's in the ball mount, this is a 1" diameter ball hole.
We'll go ahead and put the ruler on that also you can see. This is, uses a hitch ball that will have a 1" shank diameter. The thickness on the platform itself is going to be right at 3/4". The weight capacity on this, and it's stamped right on here, is 6,000 pounds trailer weight capacity, 600 pounds tongue weight capacity. When you do install this, it does require the use of two hitch pins and clips and they are not included. If you already have the adjustable ball mount with the pins and clips you can use the ones you already have.
If you do need extras or you've lost them, we do sell those separately on our website. Here's an example of what you would need. It's part number PC3 and it is listed on this product page as a related product. That should do it for the review on part number 80418, this is the Hidden Hitch Replacement Ball Mount Plate.
good quality
2 balls, 2 mounts, easier than remounting balls, may need to et another for one last 1 7/8 ball
Attached is a photo of the Hidden Hitch Adjustable Ball Mount Plate installed on my '98 Dodge Diesel Dually.
I usually don't write reviews because most service is just getting your product to you.
etrailer, provided me with faster shipping with out paying more, and delivered exactly when they estimated, AND, emailed me to tell me when my order arrived, ( I was not home when it was delivered).
That was very important to me.
Now with this additional Ball Mount Plate, I can switch out my 1" with the 2" ball hitch and still have the versatility of adjusting the height of the hitch with the 10" drop hitch mount I have.
FANTASTIC !!!
Won't shop anywhere else for my truck or trailer needs.
Thanks, etrailer....
I was hoping the material that is formed around the hitch mount would be 3/8 thick other than that I like the product its perfect for my application thank you
Seems like it will work great.
Great item. Professionally constructed.
