Features to know about

Keeps Your Trailer Level: 2" Drop for Stable, Even Towing

Getting your trailer level is key to smooth handling and even weight distribution. This forged ball mount has a 2" drop that helps keep everything balanced when you hook up. With a gross towing weight of 10,000 lbs and a tongue weight of 1,000 lbs, it’s built for confident towing whether you’re hauling a camper, boat, or work trailer. The 2" ball comes pre-torqued so it’s ready to go right out of the box—no need to borrow a torque wrench before your next trip.

Built to Last: Double-Duty Corrosion Resistance

Rust can sneak up fast when you tow often or store your gear outside. This mount fights back with two layers of protection—a base e-coat topped with a matte black powder coat—for durable, long-term defense against weather and road grime. The included hitch ball and pin are finished in black nickel plating that resists corrosion while keeping a clean, sharp look season after season.

Quick Hookup and Go: Pre-Torqued 2" Ball and Tight Hitch Fit

No extra tools or adjustments needed here. Just slide the 2" x 2" shank into your receiver, secure it with the pin and clip, and you’re ready to tow. The pre-torqued 2" ball meets factory specs, saving setup time and giving peace of mind that everything’s tightened right. A snug-fitting hitch pin helps minimize rattle so your setup feels solid on the road.

Reliable Steel Strength: Forged Construction That Works Hard

When you’re towing heavy gear, you want strength you can count on. The steel shank and forged construction give this mount the backbone to handle a full 10,000 lbs gross towing weight without flexing or fussing. It’s a straightforward, heavy-duty design made for folks who just want gear that works every time they hitch up.

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!



by:

Great service as usual. Fair pricing, and fast shipping.

  • Comparing Length Of etrailer Ball Mount e99DR And EBMK2216
    Hey Ryan, thanks for reaching out. I went out to our warehouse to measure and compare both ball mounts you mentioned. First I found the etrailer Ball Mount # e99DR you already ordered, and I measured 2-3/4" from the center of the pin hole to right where the angled portion starts. Next I measured the ball mount that comes with the # EBMK2216 kit and I measured 3-3/4" from the center of the pin hole to the angled portion. So if you were to switch to this ball mount it will give you an additional...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2022 Chevrolet Express Van
    Thanks for the picture Don! I do not have anything that connects to that 10-pin so I am hoping you're just at the wrong connector. I have linked a picture below along with an installation video that will show you what the Hopkins item # 31345 connector looks like and it's location. You will want to skip ahead to the 3:30 mark. The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 31345 is custom fit for the 2022 Chevrolet Express Van's without the towing package. This will give you...

  • What Size Socket Do I Need for the Hitch Ball Nut on the etrailer Ball Mount # e99DR?
    Hello Joe, Welcome to etrailer, I'm glad you found us! The nut on the 2" hitch ball that comes with the etrailer Ball Mount # e99DR takes a 1-7/8" 12-point socket. You can use the 1-7/8" 12pt Shallow Socket - 3/4" Drive # ALL643216 for it. The ball on # e99DR comes pre-torqued, so you will not need to tighten it before using the ball mount. If you ever need to remove the ball, # ALL643216 is the socket you will want to use. What kind of trailer are you going to be towing?

  • What Trailer Hitch and Wiring do I Need for My 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander?
    Hello Clayton, We get this question a lot about hitches. There is always the possibility that a hitch can interfere with the hands-free lift gate, but you can typically move your foot to the right or left of the receiver to get it to still work. You’re in luck because we’ve already gotten our hands on a 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander, and we have proof on the product page that the lift gate still functions! I’ve attached a couple of pictures of Jesse showing that you can still use the hands-free...

  • Recommended Hitch, 7-Way Connector, and Brake Controller for a 2024 GMC Savana 3500
    I would be happy to! Since you do not have the trailer package you're going to need to install two seperate wiring harnesses to add a 7-Way connector. You have to start with a custom fit 4-way because there is no way to just install a functional 7-Way. I have listed all of the parts you will need below: Trailer Hitch - etrailer Hitch item # e98861 4-Way Connector - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 55540 7-Way Connector - Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller...

  • Hitch Ball Mount For Boat Trailer That Sits 2 Inches Lower Than Truck
    Good afternoon Liz, there sure is! I highly recommend checking out the etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued # e99DR; it is rated at 10k lbs and has a drop of 2" which sounds perfect for your application. The ball is pre-torqued for you and the ball and hardware are coated in black nickel, which holds up to corrosion better than standard chrome balls (48hr salt rating vs 72hr salt rating). You won't have to worry about the water eating away at your ball mount when dropping your boat in the water.

  • What Wiring Harness and Tow Package do you Recommend for My 2021 Toyota Highlander XLE Hybrid?
    Hello William. The first thing you need on your 2021 Toyota Highlander XLE Hybrid to tow is a hitch receiver. For a hitch for your 2022 Kia Telluride, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - 2" # e75ZR. The etrailer hitch is compatible with your XSE Hybrid model and comes with all mounting hardware required for a bolt-on installation. As far as weight capacity, the hitch has a 500 pound maximum tongue weight and a 5,000 pound gross towing rating. In order to confirm whether your...

  • Looking for Boat Trailer Surge Brake Actuator for 1999 Maxum 2300 sr
    Hey Nick, I would go with the Demco Surge Actuator for drum brakes part # DM72VR to replace what you have. This is a reliable actuator that is easy to use and it has a higher 7,000 lb capacity as well. Then for a ball mount and hitch ball that would work you have a few options that would work great but it really comes down to how much drop you need to tow your trailer level. For a 2 inch drop part # e99DR, for a 4 inch drop part # e44DR, or for a 6 inch drop # e87DR.
