Getting your trailer to sit level keeps everything steady and makes towing safer. This mount gives you both a 2" drop and a 3/4" rise, so you can match your trailer height easily. It fits 2" x 2" hitch receivers and lines up cleanly with an 8-1/2" distance from the center of the pin hole to the center of the ball. The solid setup means your trailer tracks straight and handles predictably on every trip.
If you’ve ever had a hitch seize up from rust or trapped water, you’ll appreciate this design. The unique X-shaped shank allows moisture to drain out of your receiver, protecting both the mount and your hitch from corrosion. The steel shank with a matte black finish keeps it looking clean while standing up to regular use in all kinds of weather.
Leaving your mount installed can make it a target for theft, but this one’s already set up to stop that. It includes a hitch lock with two keys, keeping your ball mount secure when parked. The lock’s 5/8" diameter pin fits snugly through the receiver, giving you peace of mind without extra hardware to buy separately.
For everyday towing jobs—boats, campers, small equipment trailers—you want something strong without overcomplicating it. This fixed ball mount handles up to 5,000 lbs gross towing weight and 500 lbs tongue weight. With its one-piece steel shank and 2" ball, it’s built for steady performance and reliable strength every time you hitch up.
Getting enough torque on a hitch ball can be tricky when you don’t have a second wrench handy. The built-in Lockrail system on this mount’s ball platform lets you tighten the ball down securely with just one wrench. It’s a small touch that makes setup faster and easier before you get rolling.

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this TowSmart BAJA Collection Ball Mount with the two inch Hitch Ball and the Hitch Lock for two inch hitches. Has a 5,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this ball mount will let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank portion right here is what'll slide into your vehicle's two-inch hitch receiver. And they do include a hitch lock which will help prevent theft.
This hitch lock pin diameter is 5/8 of an inch, and just to demonstrate, comes with two barrel keys. But basically what you would do is after you insert this into your two-inch hitch, line your holes up, and then for added security, just go ahead and put your key in there, remove your lock, and slide this through one side through the holes, all the way to the other side, and actually you can take the key out and actually you can just push it on to lock it, and then put your cap on there to cover it, and now it's locked on there. Keep anybody from removing it from your hitch. And then when you go to open it, just take your barrel key, line it up, just turn it a 1/4 of a turn, and you can remove it and then remove that just like that. So, very easy to install and remove.
Now, the ball mount is designed with unique X-shaped shank you can see here, so that water can drain out of the receiver while it's installed, prevents any seize up of the ball mount in the hitch receiver. This does offer both a drop and a rise position to ensure level towing. The maximum drop you'll get, which is the position right here that you're in, has is two inches, and that's measured from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform. Now, if you do flip this over into a rise position, you would need to remove this ball and re-torque it down, use it in and flip it up to the correct position for the rise, and it'll get you a maximum rise of 3/4 of an inch, again, from the top here to the top of the ball platform. Now, one of the neat features they use on this, I wanted show you in up close a little better, we'll zoom in.
But they use a lock rail system on this ball platform, 'cause then if you do wanna change your ball around when you remove it, you're gonna have to re-torque it down, and instead of having to use two wrenches, this will get you down to a single wrench because these rails right here if you notice, on the edges, they'll line up with the wrench flats on the ball, so if you do happen to switch it into the rise, you'll break this loose, flip the ball over, and then those flats will end up in the inside of these ridges, so when you go to torque it down, those ridges is what's gonna hold the ball in place. You don't have to have a second wrench on there. So, that's a nice feature. They call it the Lock Rail design. Now, this is a durable steel, has a nice black matte finish to it to resist rust and corrosion.
Application, again, it's designed to fit into two inch by two inch trailer hitch receivers. Gross towing weight capacity is 5,000 pounds, tongue weight capacity is 500 pounds, and the last thing to give you is just the length. And a ball mount, when they say the length on a ball mount, that's always the measurement from the center of the ball hole to the center of the ball itself, or center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball. So, basically, center here to the center of the ball, there's your 8 1/2 inches for the length. But that should do it for a look at this TowSmart BAJA Collection Ball Mount with the two inch Hitch Ball and the Hitch Lock for two inch hitches.

Great service. Punctual. No complai nts
The trailer is level when attached to the ball a perfect fit.
As expected
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
Looks good but time will tell. Should include instructions as to what to do and remove the plastic insert in the pin hole.
