etrailer Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - e48TV

  • Fits 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
  • Drop - 4 Inch
  • One Ball
  • 10000 lbs GTW
  • Pre-Torqued

Your heavy-duty truck sits high, but your trailer needs to tow level. This fixed mount fits a 2-1/2" hitch, gives you 4" of drop to bring the coupler height where it needs to be, and comes with a pre-torqued 2" ball ready to tow.


Highlights

  • Keep Your Trailer Level: 4" drop helps correct a nose-high trailer when your truck's hitch sits higher than the coupler.
  • Keep Your Setup Simple: Fixed design gives you the drop you need without extra adjustment points or moving parts.
  • Fits Your 2-1/2" Hitch: Slides directly into your receiver without having to use a reducer.
  • Get Hitched Up Faster: Pre-torqued 2" ball is already installed, so there's no ball mounting or torquing to do.
  • Tow Up to 10,000 lbs: Gives you the capacity for campers, utility trailers, and other heavy loads.
  • Keep Rust and Wear in Check: E-coat, matte black powder coat, and black nickel plating protect the mount and hitch ball.

Features to know about

Level Your Trailer with a 4" Drop

A trailer that rides nose-high can affect how it handles behind your truck. This fixed ball mount provides 4" of drop to help bring your trailer closer to level when your truck's hitch sits higher than the coupler.

Ready to Tow Right Out of the Box

The 2" hitch ball comes installed and factory pre-torqued, so you don't have to mount the ball or break out the tools to torque it yourself.

Protection Against Rust and Corrosion

An e-coat beneath the matte black powder coat gives the ball mount two layers of corrosion protection. The black nickel-plated 2" hitch ball also helps resist rust and wear.

All parts arrived perfectly and were securely packaged. I opted to install the trailer package myself and completed it with no problems at all. I would definitely order from etrailer again for sure.

@William Thanks for giving us your feedback, William!
by:
Great edition to the 2” hitch but I really didn’t need it. I found an older one in a storage box that included locking hitch pin & plug for the receiver. Decided it would have been to too costly to return.

Spencer was a big help. I had looked a ton of brake

Glad to hear it fit, Hector! What kind of vehicle did you install it in? And what will you be towing with it?

by:
Very solid construction with specs that exceed what I need to pull my boat. Pre-torqued ball. Good looking black nickel-plated ball looks good with my blacked out Jeep Grand Cherokee!
by:
I havent gotten to tow my boat yet because I am switching from a bumper hitch and am still getting wires extended and safety chains longer. BUT this hitch is amazing quality compared to any crap on amazon and the nickel finish looks great. 100% recommend.

We have a 25 4Runner and a 10’cargo trailer to haul woodworking projects from fair to fair. A previous ball hitch with 4” drop still hauled the trailer in a upward position and I didn’t want the rear end to drag going in and out of transitional areas. The 6” drop ball hitch works perfect and still allows the trailer to ride level and the rear hatch to open without hitting trailer . Thanks eTrailer for offering a variety of ball hitches for a accurate ride during travel!!!

I'm excited to use it!

I have about a half-dozen ball mounts of various brands and this one is the nicest.

After one season of salt-water use, the usual progression of rust and flaking paint seems slower than expected. It has a matte finish that I find pleasing. The pin, ball, threads, and nut all seem of slightly higher quality than is typical.

Based on this product, I would choose etrailer mounts over others in the future.

They have great customer service as well, in my experience.
by:
I appreciate the nickel plating. This receiver is so much beefier than what is available in most stores. Etrailer has my confidence forever!
by:
Correct fit. Works with my etrailer locking hitch pin thingy.
by:
I had to replace the 2” ball with a 1 7/8” ball to fit my small utility trailer. Otherwise it is working perfectly. Happy with this purchase.
by:
I am very happy with your product. The quality only enhances my car it was installed on.

Nice quality. Solid ball mount upgrading to 10,000 lbs.
by:
Etrailer recommended this for our 2025 Honda CRV. The product is fine, but the recommendation was wrong. Every trailer we've hooked to this 4" drop is too low.
by:
Just what I needed. Measured from the floor to the center of the ball, 18 1/2 inches for towing a u-haul trailer. This is what they say for hauling their trailers flat.
by:
Worked great. Used it with our 2019 Honda CRV to tow a U-Haul trailer 650 miles. No issues. Also, initially I thought it was too much rise, but I'm glad I got it because I had underestimated how much lower the car was to the trailer especially when loaded. There was a little clunking but to be expected when towing.
by:
Fast shipping, and great product quality
by:
Super easy install on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Took me, by myself 8 minutes with a Milwaukee Impact gun to have it fully installed and ready to use. Great quality. Would recommend.

Looks nice but the weight is not stamped in the reciever it is on a sticker. It is stamped in the ball.

Found that the ball is the wrong size should be 2.5/16" not 2". Guess I'll have order that one, hopefully the color.

For a 2-5/16 inch ball, you'll want to use # C45331. I'll link that for you. If you want to do a return for the ballmount you received, let me know and I'll get that taken care of!
