Today we'll be reviewing part number BWTS10056. This is the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2 5/16 Ball. This is designed to fit a 2 inch by 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. The pintle hook and the hitch ball combo is going to let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank simply slides in to the receiver tube of your hitch and the pintle hook set up is going to connect to a lunette ring coupler. If you want to use the 2 5/16 inch hitch ball, you pull the pin and clip to move the top plate into an upright position, reinsert the pin and clip so that the top plate doesn't fall or wiggle around and then you have full access to the hitch ball that simply connects to a standard ball coupler. Now an additional feature of the ball mount is that it actually can be used in a stowed position. This is actually going to swing underneath your hitch to free up some space.
To do that, we need to pull the back 2 pins and make sure our top plate is resting on top of the hitch ball, then we can take our mount, flip it underneath out hitch, line up the holes and reinsert our pins and we secure with our clips on the other side. This is going to give us a nice flatter flush look at the back of our tow vehicle. It moves our mount underneath our hitch which is going to free up some space at the back of our truck. We'll go ahead and move this back out. Now this is fully adjustable, it moves an increments of 1 inch so you can adjust it up and down your shank here. What this does is it's going to allow you to tow trailers of different height and still be able to use the same vehicle. Once you find the desired height, you can reinsert the pins and secure with the clips on the other side. this has dual process chrome plating on the hitch ball that provides excellent rust resistance and the black powder coated shank and platform are corrosion resistant. This does have stainless pins that are going to help create sturdy rust proof connections and it has a durable steel construction with a high yield tubing that offers superior strength. Now a hitch pin and clip or a hitch pin and lock is sold separately and you can refer to this product at products Once again, this is designed to fit a 2 inch by 2 inch trailer hitch receiver.
When using the pintle hook, you're going to have a gross towing weight of 16,000 pounds and when using the 2 5/16 inch hitch ball, you're going to have a gross towing weight of10,000 pounds. Now with this in the drop position at it's lowest setting, it's going to have a maximum drop of 8 inches. If you want to use it in it's rise position, you are going to need to flip over the mount and to do that, you'll remove the back 2 pins, rotate this up towards the top of the shank, tilt it and then you can remove it and flip it over as needed. If you need to use it in the rise position, you simply just take the entire mount out of the receiver tube of your hitch, flip it over and reinstall at the same way. Now at it's highest setting in the rise position, it's going to provide a maximum rise of 6 1/2 inches. The other thing I want to point out is that it actually has 2 inch pin hole locations. This is totally there for your convenience, to best suit your towing application or to free up a little bit more distance between your mount and your vehicle when this is in the stowed position. From the center of the first hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar, we have a measurement of 4 inches. From the center of the other hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar, we have a measurement of about 6 inches. From the center of the first hitch pinhole to the center of our 2 5/16 inch hitch ball, we have a measurement of 10 inches and then from the rear hitch pinhole to the center of our ball, we have a measurement of about 12 inches. Once again, this does adjust an increments of 1 inch and that's going to complete today's review of part number BWTS10056.
This is the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2 5/16 inch hitch Ball. .

We've ordered our trailer hitches through etrailer.com on several occasions. The process is simple, the prices are the best we've found and we've never had an issue with our order or the product received. When we placed our last order with etrailer.com, there was a delay in shipping. We were notified by phone as soon as the delay was identified by etrailer and also by phone the day our order was shipped. Even with the delay, we received our trailer hitches within 5 days. I highly recommend etrailer.com! 611032

Review from a similar B and W Tow and Stow in Ball Mounts
I love my tow and stow hitch. I have multiple trailers that require different size balls. This hitch eliminated a half a dozen hitches with different size balls and different drop lengths. One of the best purchases I have ever made!! I would highly recommend this hitch to everybody who tows a trailer. 734584

Review from a similar B and W Tow and Stow in Ball Mounts
Product was delivered as scheduled. Product was as advertise. Fit and Function are very good. I have not towed with this product yet but the Stow feature is very good. I had to return the first hitch as I purchased an 5" drop and needed a 7" drop. The process of returning the product was very streamlined and efficient. Lori B. was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. I would have to give the customer service I received a "Top Notch" Grade. 734855
Review from a similar B and W Tow and Stow in Ball Mounts
This is the third truck that I've installed this same hitch on. Regardless of ball size or riding height of the trailer tongue I only need this hitch to pull it level and safely. When in the horizontal position, the ball assembly also serves as a great step up into the bed when the tail gate is up too. 726430
