A balanced trailer makes all the difference in how it tows. This mount gives you a 3/4" rise or a 2" drop so your trailer stays level behind your vehicle. With the right height set, you’ll get smoother tracking and even weight distribution—no more guessing if your trailer is riding too high or dragging low.
Sometimes you just want everything in one go. This starter kit comes with the basics you need to tow—a ball mount, a 2" hitch ball, and a 5/8" locking hitch pin with keys. Each piece fits together cleanly in a 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver, so you can hook up and head out without hunting down extra parts.
Whether it’s weekend runs or daily utility work, this setup has the muscle for the job. It’s rated for a 5,000 lbs gross towing weight and 500 lbs tongue weight, giving you solid confidence for small to mid-size trailers. The steel shank and chrome-plated ball handle regular towing duty without wobble or flex.
Rust and seizing can ruin a hitch over time, especially when left on through rain or winter roads. The patented XMount design channels moisture away from the receiver to help prevent sticking, while the black powder-coated ball mount and chrome-plated hitch ball resist corrosion. It’s built to stay functional and good-looking trip after trip.
No need for a second wrench or wrestling with spinning hardware. The Lockrail system holds the hitch ball steady so you can torque it down or remove it with just one wrench. It’s a small touch that makes setup quicker and keeps things tight when you’re ready to tow.

All works well
Quality parts and delivered as expected.
Great service. Many thanks and
Extremely easy install. I was able to follow the tutorial video and everything fit where it should. Since I have an aftermarket muffler delete I didn't even have to drop the exhaust. My son and I had it done and installed in about 40 minutes.
Have not used it yet but it feels sold. Weighs about 8 to 10 lbs. The ball is screwed on so tight I can't get it off to flip it over for to use as a rise. Lock works well, smooth action with key
Great budget hitch, only gripe is some rough edges, but at this price it’s not a dealbreaker. Locking pin feels sturdy enough, the lock core leaves much to be desired but again for the price you can't complain. only thing I'd upgrade is the locking pin, but this is a great package deal, materials are good and the finish is decent.
Tyra F from etrailer personally called me to inform me I had ordered the incorrect wiring harness and ball mount for the hitch I ordered to go on my 2020 SUV. Tyra helped me order the correct parts while on the phone and also helped me select the best method of shipping for my needs. I’ll definitely recommend eTrailer based solely on their high level of customer service!!
It will work; The quality is there for what it is. For the price I paid.
Will it break; NO. The welds are good.
Excellent buy with hitch lock. Works fine. I really like the way the TowSmart ball mount is manufactured, and the way the base of the ball essentially locks-in on the top side of the ball mount making it easy to tighten the nut without having to hold the ball. Very satisfied.
Works exactly as expected after an on-time delivery - etrailer makes it easy.
