Getting the height right between your tow vehicle and trailer makes a big difference in how steady your rig feels on the road. This mount gives you both a built-in 2-1/2" drop and a 2" rise so you can dial in a level setup. It keeps your trailer from leaning or swaying and helps your tires wear evenly every trip.
For most small campers, boats, or utility trailers, this mount has the strength you need without extra bulk. It’s rated for 3,500 lbs gross towing weight and 350 lbs tongue weight, giving you dependable pulling power for typical Class II jobs. The 2" hitch ball is ready for the common coupler size used on many light-duty trailers.
A fixed ball mount means fewer moving parts to loosen or rattle. The steel shank with a gloss black finish keeps things rigid and durable. The Lockrail system on the ball platform lets you torque the hitch ball down with just one wrench, making setup straightforward and secure.
Leaving a mount in place can trap water inside the receiver, but this one’s X-shape design lets moisture drain out freely. That drainage helps prevent rust and seizing so you can remove the mount easily even after long weather exposure. It’s a small detail that pays off when you need to swap setups.
Everything you need to connect comes in the package. The included pin and clip secure the mount in your 1-1/4" hitch receiver (Class II only), so once the ball is torqued down, you’re ready to hook up and roll without hunting for extra parts.

Narrator Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the TowSmart Baja Collection Ball Mount with the two inch hitch ball, fits the one and a quarter inch hitches. Now this has a two and a half inch drop and a two inch rise and a 3,500 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now this ball mount'll let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank right back here is what it'll slide into your vehicle's one and a quarter inch hitch receiver and it'll secure into your receiver using this included pin and clip. Hitch pin diameter is a half an inch.
So once you slide this in your receiver, line your holes up, slide your pin all the way through and then clip it to hold it into place. Now we do also sell hitch locks which are sold separately if you want extra security to lock this to your hitch receiver. Now the hitch ball right up front here, this provides a connection point for your trailer's couplet. The diameter on the hitch ball is two inches. And also what's nice is this ball mount is designed with a unique X-shaped shank, you can see here, so that water can drain out of the receiver when this is installed, prevents it from seizing up.
Now we mentioned both drop and rise positions are available to ensure level towing. The drop on this, which will be measured from the top of the shank, top of the ball platform, is two and a half inches. That would be in this position. If you flip it over into the rise position, it would get you a two inch rise measured from here to here. But if you notice, the ball would have to be un-loosened and flipped over and torque back into place to work in that position.
But they do make it easier because this does offer a lock rail system if you're gonna change the ball around, want to zoom in and show you that up close. But they call the lock rail system because if you look there's a raised edge on here, sort of makes these rails and if you flip it over and if in the rise position's the same way, they have these rise areas and the reason they do that, it helps you when you go to put your ball, like if you're gonna take this off and flip it in the rise, the ball has wrench flats on it, they call it, where you'll use a wrench to hold it into place. But in this case, you can flip either way. If you install it this way or put it in the rise, when you flip it over, those wrench flats are gonna line up with the lock rails and hold it for you. So you only need one wrench for the nut.
You don't have to have two wrenches, one to hold the ball and one to tighten the nut. So with these lock rails, it makes it easier to install your ball to the ball mount. Now this is a durable steel with glossy black finish to resist rust and corrosion. Application, again, I mentioned it fits one and a quarter inch by one and a quarter inch trailer hitch receivers. Gross towing weight capacity is 3,500 pounds. Tongue weight of 350 pounds. And the last thing, just wanna give you the length and when we mention the length, on a ball mount, it's measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball. So on this one, you can see if we go center of the hole to the center of the ball is seven and three quarter inches for the length. But that's gonna do it for a look at this TowSmart Baja Collection ball mount with the two inch hitch ball for one and a quarter inch hitches.

Will work well for my needs.
As expected
Looks good but time will tell. Should include instructions as to what to do and remove the plastic insert in the pin hole.
BOX CORNER RIPPED OPEN FROM SHIPPING,MISSING HARDWARE FOR HITC,
EVERYTHING ELSE GREAT
The etrailer team was very helpful in determining the right hitch and ball for my truck. The product was quickly shipped. I am very pleased.
Did not receive this item with my order
Flipped this mount upside down for the rise. Leveled out my little trailer just fine. If your bumper is too thick, this might be too short. Worked well with my ‘26 Equinox EV.
On time. Worked perfect on my wife’s Murano. Nice and sturdy
Exactly what I expected. Fits perfectly
Great service. Punctual. No complai nts
The trailer is level when attached to the ball a perfect fit.
Excellent transaction and prompt shipping. Nice quality product.
Fits wel, put trailer level just where it should be.
The hitch that I ordered came with a ball and pin that ordinarily one has to purchase separately. That was convenient for me since the price was better than any other option. etrailer.com has been a great source for me in the past and continues to be so.
This particular hitch took longer than normal to receive, but I assume it was coming from the other side of the planet. Apart from that, it was A great purchase.
Completely bummed this was not the correct receiver. Sucker is SOLID.
Ball did not fit my trailer. I chose to not just replace the ball. Had been gifted the right sized ball literally by the Lord himself. Day B4 this one arrived. Was with items a neighbor was discarding! Talk about Him running ahead and providing even before I pray for it! He does that so often especially when Iam doing my best to obey Him in areas I struggle with. He's so amazing!
Absolutely excellent receiver. Will order again should I find a need for it.
Great quality, the 1.25” hitch has a x design shaft which significantly reduces the chance of it getting stuck inside your hitch and insuring a tight fit without the wiggle and clunk that other brands and designs have. Great purchase!
