Getting started with towing shouldn’t mean hunting down tools or fighting with torque specs. This kit’s 2-5/16" hitch ball comes pre-torqued to factory specs, so you can just slide the mount into your 2" x 2" receiver, secure it with the included pin and clip, and you’re set. No need to borrow a torque wrench or guess if it’s tight enough—just hook up and go.
For small to mid-size trailers, this mount covers the essentials with dependable strength. It’s rated for a gross towing weight of 7,500 lbs and a tongue weight of 750 lbs, giving you solid performance for boats, campers, or utility trailers. The steel construction keeps things sturdy mile after mile, so you can tow with confidence every time.
Towing gear takes a beating from weather and salt spray, but this mount’s finish is made to last. A layer of e-coat sits under the matte black powder coat to block rust before it starts. The black nickel plating on the hitch ball and pin adds even more corrosion resistance while giving the whole setup a clean look that holds up over time.
When the trip’s done, this kit’s small details make cleanup easy. The durable, water-resistant bag holds your ball mount, pin, and accessories neatly between uses. The rubber hitch plug seals off your receiver to keep water and grime out until the next adventure. It’s a tidy way to store your gear and keep your hitch ready to go.

How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Etrailer 2 5/6 Ball Mount Kit. Now, our kit is gonna have three different items that you're gonna get all together bundled. You're gonna have your two-inch receiver cover as well as our water-resistant bag and your 2 5/16 pre-torqued etrailer ball. So let's take a look at each one of these items and see what's special about 'em. Your receiver cover is gonna work for your two-inch shank. It'll just push right into position.
It's black rubber, and it just has our etrailer logo. And on the back of your vehicle, people will know that you know where to find the best towing supplies. Now, the inside of this guy is gonna have a couple ridges that are gonna hold against the inside of that receiver to keep water and moisture from building up inside your receiver when you're not towing. Our ball mount is a two-inch drop and 3/4-inch rise. You're gonna have the black nickel finish on the ball itself as well as the pin and clip.
As far as the ball mount is made of steel, you're gonna actually have a hollow core. However, actually the steel that they use on this is pre-treated with an e-coat underneath. So what that means, when you start getting these little nicks and cuts in the powder coat that you're bound to get, just from the life of being a ball mount, you don't have to worry about sections of the powder coat flaking off due to rust underneath it. In general, it's a pretty thick coat. And I would say, the only thing I usually suggest with ball mounts is adding ball grease to keep this black nickel finish looking nice.
If you don't use a lubricant at this pivot point, safety's really not affected, but just the appearance of your ball. Alright, and we also have our etrailer water-resistant bag. It is 10 liters and durable enough to put in your towing accessories when you're not towing. I would say, with it being water-resistant, you can throw in safety flares, bungee cords, anything that would fit in this space to keep everything nice and together. Now, overall, I think it's a great value to get these things together and it'll keep you prepared when you're going out on your adventures.
Again, this is Ed with etrailer.com, and this has been a look at the Etrailer Ball Mount Kit. Have a great day.
