Speaker 1: Today, we're going to be taking a look at the etrailer ball mount kit for two inch hitches. Part number is 989900. Now the etrailer ball mount kit's going to be the perfect solution for hauling multiple trailers with multiple vehicles. It gives us a variety of rise and drop configurations, so we can get our trailer as level as possible while we head down the road. The kit's going to have both the ball mounts, the inch and seven-eighths ball, the two inch ball, and two pins and clips, so we can get these secured to separate vehicles if we like. The bag to contain it, it's a nice bag, it's lined here, that's going to help keep the rust and the grease that you get on the ball, from getting on the carpet in your vehicle, or in the bed of your truck.
See, these store in here pretty easily. It can be a good way to keep everything contained.Now, the ball mount kit's been designed to work with class three, four, or class five hitches, that have the two inch by two inch receiver tube opening or some of the class five hitches, you'll have to use that adapter to bring it down to a two inch by two inch receiver tube opening. Now, the ball mounts are measured from the top of the receiver tube opening here. This is the two inch drop version, or three quarter inch rise, as you can see from that receiver tube opening edge to our ball platform, we have about three-quarters of an inch raise. If we we're to flip that over, it's going to give us two inches of drop.
Now, this ball mount from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball is about eight and a half inches. That's really only going to matter to you if your hitch is set in, underneath the vehicle, and you want to ensure that you're going to be able to get your trailer connected. The ball mount itself it's going to have a weight rating of 7,500 pounds as far as gross trailer weight goes. That's the total weight of your trailer and anything that you load up on it. It's going to have a maximum tongue weight rating of 750 pounds.
That's the maximum downward force we can put on the ball mount.Here's the other included ball mount. This is going to give us four inches of drop and then if we we're to rotate it over, it gives us two and three-quarters of rise, so that really helps us cover the gamut. This of course is going to be better suited for trailers lower to the ground. The other one better suited for trailers higher. Now, as we said, all other components are rated for 750 pounds of tongue weight, 7,500 pounds of gross trailer weight.
Then from the center of the pinhole to the center of our ball in this configuration, we've got nine inches. Now both ball mounts are going to have the hollow shank, that's going to help us out with weight, they're not quite as heavy as a solid shank would, but this is also going to work out really well if you want to add an anti-rattle device that maybe has a nut that goes inside. Shouldn't be an issue at all getting that secured. Now, both of our ball mounts are also going to have the black powder coat finish. This is going to help to resist rust and corrosion. Of course this finish like any other ball mount on the market, after years of service, they typically develop a little bit of rust or something like that, which is where that bag comes in really handy.Now, each ball is provided with the nut, and the lock washer. You're going to need to secure it to the ball mount. The shank length is going to be two and one-eighth of an inch long on both of them. It's one inch in diameter, so if you already have some ball mounts at home, and you're thinking you might want to add them to it, just want to make sure that size is going to work for you. That'll complete our look at the etrailer ball mount kit, part number 989900.

Thank you for the informative video instructions as well as helpful / honest reviews to research prior to making the purchase. I do not have anything to add that has not been covered in the reviews. Here is a recap of my experience that has been consistent with others. 1. Box was received with the driver side of the hitch pushed out. Only minor scratches which you can not see when installed and it did not impact the installation. Wrapping each end would probably be a good idea as stated in other reviews. 2. Removing 14 years of rust was the hardest part of the install (from the passenger side holes). Total time was approximately 1 hour as others have experienced. I used the bolts from the factory tie hook to work out the rust using 1/2" round wire brush attached to a cordless drill along with a full can of WD-40. 3. Installation of the hitch took about 30 minutes with assistance of a foot stool. 4. Plug-n-play electrical connector took about 10 minutes after watching the video. 5. Perfect fitment, fast delivery, easy website ordering experience and follow-up status notifications, and I can not be more pleased with the cost being under $200 for a DIY project. I required this setup to tow a ~1,000 lb motorcycle trailer with a ~1,000 lb motorcycle next week and my Honda has a 3,500 lb towing capacity. Thank you etrailer.com! 427068

I installed the draw tite hitch onto my brand new 2018 Subaru outback. I'm 68 years old, not as strong as I was, but proud to say I did the job all by myself in about 4 hours. Here are some tips you may find useful. Watch the video-it’s pretty good. I had difficulty getting the exhaust system down and worried about getting it up again from the moment I got it down...read on-help will follow. I bought a stepup drill bit which worked great for drilling the hole in the chasis. I clamped the hitch onto a floor jack, then rolled it and raised it into position. Used metal shears to easily cut out the heat shield as per the video. Your inclination will be the screw the fishing tool provided all the way up the carriage bolt. That won’t work; just screw it on to the tip of the bolt. I couln’t get the exhaust hangars in place even after lubricating them with wd-40. I dropped the rubber hangars into undiluted liquid car wash soap which made them much more slippery than the wd-40. After that the rubber hangars slipped into place pretty easily-that’s my best tip. Finding the electric connection plug for the wiring harness was almost as hard as installing the hitch. I was very happy with how the job came out. Good luck. 428039

Excellent quality. Threads on the balls/nuts are smooth. No hang-ups. It's nice to have two sizes of ball mounts. Not just for the differing heights but you never know when someone will need a hand with their trailer than would take a different ball size. I just keep them both on-board in their bag in one of my storage compartments. nice strong bag. Pulling the pin and switching the ball mount is so much easier than getting out the wrench and tugging on an old rusted nut to change a ball. Not getting any younger ya know : ). 123882
No problems at all. Looks and functions the sames as the day I installed it.

Excellent kit, a must purchase. They didn't skimp on the powder coating. 78197
Thanks for the contact Patrick. Everything is working beautifully. Ive received many comments from friends about how the hitch system looks factory installed on my 06 Jeep Rubicon. The draw-tite system is the only way to go in my book. It handles my 5 x 8 trailer famously. Have a great day, Bill Richards

Product works great. Service and communication from etrailer was exceptional. 114600
I do a lot of shopping online. Your company is one of the best that I have ever purchased from. The amount of customer service you provide is simply amazing these days. I am completely satisfied with your products.

The 3rd piece of a great package, tow hitch, wiring harness, & ball mounting kit. I have two trailers, that ride at different heights. This really completed the install nicely. Everything went seamless from order to delivery. Installed on 2014 Tacoma. 145605
Still pulling, very pleased.
Michael G - 08/11/2015by: Mr. Pn08/20/2012
First let me thank the folks at Etrailer.com for great service and communication!! The Ball mount kit was just what I hoped for, heavy duty and well made. The only reason I would give this 4 out of 5 is the fact that these were not wrapped in the box, and came with several chunks of paint missing from them. The packing job could have been better, bubble wrap or something would have kept this from happening. I ship things for a living, so I cringe when I see metal on metal shipped loose in a box. Also the pins provided are not the kind with holes in them, but rather grooves for the clip to slide over. This is a matter of preference, but I like having a hole in the pin for the clip to go through. The included bag is a nice bonus for safe keeping while not towing. 52436

Shipping - The hitch, ball mount-kit, wiring harness, and brush all arrived quickly in a single, heavy-duty cardboard box. The packaging was excellent! There had to have been a hundred heavy-duty staples used to secure everything. Installation - The video and paper instructions were spot-on and made the install much more straight forward. For two non-mechanics, it took us about 2 hours from the time we pulled the car into the garage until all the tools were put away to install the hitch, wiring harness, and mount the balls on the sleeves. We did not lift the car might have made it a little easier but totally doable. The only actual difficulty we had was pulling the rubber muffler mounts off. A little lubrication helps. Reinstalling them is easier. 450720
by: Adolfo10/30/2017
The customer service was polite and knowledgeable in their recommendations. The package delivered complete and without incident and install was a breeze. the only reason for the four stars instead of five is for the competitiveness of their pricing. 447421

This is one of the items that has saved me a LOT of time. Since I use both my truck and my car (both have Curt hitches ordered from etrailer) for towing my half dozen or so different types of trailers, I am constantly needing to adjust the ball size and/or height depending on the combination of vehicle and trailer. With this kit is takes literally less that 30 seconds every time for me to configure to exactly my needs. Also, the bag is excellent for keeping crud and ball grease off my vehicle interiors and is big enough to hold a ball wrench inside as well. Cannot beat the price either for so much convenience and saved time. 448088
by: mike j05/09/2017
Love the service, love the products and attention to detail in their communication with the customer; free two day shipping, email from etrailer verifying delivery of each item with embedded videos describing the installation technique that supplemented the written instructions and took any uncertainty out of installation; Great products (hitch, harness and ball mount kit) that took only a couple of hours to install. Slam dunk - anyone with modest mechanical ability and access to a few basic tools can do this and should only consider etrailer! (And saved $500 vs factory installation or $900 vs dealer installation!) 378312

I ordered the following from etrailer.com. T-connector Vehicle Wiring Harness Draw-tite Class III Max-frame Hitch - 2 Etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit - 2 Drops/rises [kit] All parts arrived quickly and securely packaged. Order was perfect. Installed on a 2017 Hyundai Sante Fe. The installation video was a huge help. Installation was flawless and exactly as the video detailed. The hitch fit and wiring harness fit perfectly. Definite five stars on delivery, product quality and installation video. If I ever need towing parts again I'll definitely be shopping at etrailer.com. Well done boys, well done. 355411
by: Christopher W.07/01/2014
Ordering from etrailer.com was great. Customer response from email was quick. The Hidden Hitch, Ball Mount Kit and the T-one Vehicle Wiring Harness all arrived within a few days. Installing the wiring harness was an easy plug in. The ball mounts are great, ready for any trailer tongue height. The hitch receiver did require an extra set of hands but everything lined up perfectly making installation easier. 138637

Good quality. 167685
Only complaint is that the chrome on the ball wore off and the top is getting rusty.
Russ - 01/05/2016by: Josh B07/21/2017
I purchased these hitches to go on my new trailer hitch to pull our Boy Scout Troop's trailer on an upcoming campout. The hitches slide very easily into the 2 inch hole on the trailer hitch. The pins go in easily and secure it well. I went to an auto parts store and purchase a trailer ball wrench to put on the 2 balls on the hitches. They attached nicely to each hitch and I was able to tighten them down. Also, the bag is nice to store the hitches in when not in use and to keep all the parts together. I look forward to hauling the trailer with these hitches. 409038
by: Ed U.10/05/2016
Installation was relatively easy. The hardware includes 6 fish wires that screw onto the threads of the bolts. Thought I might have to go buy them somewhere. And pulling bolt through the chassis was easier than I thought. The hardest part to the installation was reinstalling the muffler. The hitch is nearly flush with the edge of the bumper so you don't have to get a long insert. Some I saw online seem to be under the car and would require a longer insert. Bought the hitch with ball mounts and wiring harness. For DIYer its a piece of cake. 303922
by: Rob R.04/18/2016
I received and installed a hitch assembly as well as the tongue and ball kit for my 2014 Ford Flex. I watched the installation videos for the hitch and wiring. I installed the hitch myself without issue in less than 40 minutes. The wiring took a bit longer as finding acceptable wire "runs" in the light assembly is not as clear cut as the video would have you believe. Regardless, easy install, very pleased with the products and will buy from you again if needed. Thanks for the great product and delivery in less than one week. 245960

Great product .Well made.I purchased the complete trailer package from E trailer.It arrived in under three days.I had it installed in less than two hours and added 12'of flex tubing for a professional result in organizing and protecting the wiring.E-trailers communication was great with info on installation for all parts of the process ,however I didn't need it as it was straight forward and very easy to understand.The Ball mount kit is kept in a bag alongside the Jack and is ready when I need it.Highly recommend. 32214
by: Roger N05/30/2013
Good quality ballmounts. The pin is unique in that the clevis seats in a machined groove as opposed to all other similar pins I have ever seen. I think a good addition to this kit would be an appropriately sized wrench for the hitch ball nut. This would allow users to install/remove hitch balls in the field. I would have paid an extra $10 for kit with the additional item---now I need to track one down elsewhere, which is silly because the purpose of a kit like this is to give the user everything needed. 82538
by: T. Alan12/13/2016
This product was delivered in a timely manner and in my opinion is a great value for the money. I purchased the two hitch ball mount for three reasons, 1) price, 2) versatility, and 3) the storage pouch that allows me to keep all pieces in one space without moving around in the truck. I had one problem, one of the balls as originally provided was the wrong capacity because it had been mislabeled. However, a phone call to etrailer quickly resolved this issue and the correct ball was shipped. 324645
I am still happy with the purchase.
T. A - 12/13/2017by: NicoB04/23/2015
Solid build, but there is a lot of play, which causes rattling and the associated annoying sound when pulling a trailer or having any other hitch mount. You can buy one of the anti-rattle devices on this site or make a DIY fix. I used thin rubber from the trim scrap of the back cargo area protector and duct tape. You can layer the duct tape until you get a tight fit. Just be sure to overlap the insertion end of the tube and fold the tape inside so it doesn't catch upon insertion. 187765

I emailed a question regarding pertains to products I need for my 2017 Equinox. Jameson promptly returned my email with links to each of the products. I placed the order, received everything in great condition. Installations instructions were spot on, with videos posted for additional help if needed. I’m very pleased with strainer, my start to finish experiance was superb. Thanks etrailer, great work. You have nailed the lost art of customer service and satisfaction. 470790
by: James W.05/28/2015
Bar none the easiest hitch and wiring harness to install. Floor jack made one man job easy. Wiring my 2014 Subaru outback in about 20mins. Hitch took about 1 1/2hrs watched excellent video installs made easy. 2hrs for both start to finish. I would recommend this product to everyone, thanx- etrailer and team. The only thing was ups beat the box up and hitch was loose all taped up and bent alittle nothing I couldn't fix here. Could use some different packaging perhaps. 198380
by: Leigh J.10/24/2016
Once again another great purchase,great customer service,and timely delivery.Install instructions are found online with step by step helpful ways for the DOY person. Most other sites I have dealt with do not stock products and your order is usually 1 to 2 weeks before shipping (they are ordering from someone else for direct ship to you),but etrailer I do not believe is doing this due to quick deliveries on this and past orders. Thank you again etrailer. 312527

Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" - 75238, purchased with Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - C56282 and Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs - 989900. Installation instructions not updated for 2017 Tacoma; There is no bumper rail, wiring schematic not complete. Installation is nonetheless easy and works fine. Ball height perfect for Tractor Supply North Star trailer. 403050
by: Jerry P.04/23/2013
Not much to say about this item, it all fits and the paint and welding look good. The storage bag is a little light for the weight it carries. The end handle is not useable, it really needs a two strap handle like a women's purse that wraps under the bag to support the weight of the two receivers and balls. I only mention this because Etrailer actually appears to be interested in providing a quality product, it would be a simple change. 77531
by: Brian A12/05/2017
I have never purchased or installed a trailer hitch before. Karen spent a lot of time with me on the phone explaining my options, the issues with pulling a trailer and what products would best meet my needs. I am very happy with the equipment I bought. Installation of hitch and wiring harness were exactly like how they were explained in the excellent YouTube videos that etrailer has made. I am very impressed with etrailer. 457507
by: Kyle J08/11/2014
Products are solid and complete. I bought this for the hitches, and not necessarily the bag. The bag is great for keeping everything in one place, and clean. The material is a bit thin, but it's rugged enough to hold the items. Handle on end makes for easy transport. The hitches are solid and work well with the Hidden Hitch receiver. I'm giving this an Excellent score based on the solid products and the ordering process. 146097
by: Chris D.04/27/2017
I bought a trailer hitch for 2014 Subaru Forester. I installed the hitch and wiring harness myself in less than an hour. The product matched descriptions perfectly and thanks to the vehicle specific video installation tutorials these products are a breeze to install. Had a great year and attached two bike racks, one ski hitch, and one small trailer with ease also thanks to the accessory ball mount kit. 374714
by: ZachO11/30/2016
They work like they should. I bought these before I found the camper trailer I wanted, and wasn't sure how much rise or drop I'd need. I ended up using one for the drive home when I bought one, then needed the other once I put a different axle on the trailer, raising it a few inches. I think between these two, my bases are covered for most trailers I'd ever need to pull. No issues with them. 320866
by: AJBSEB06/04/2016
Absolutely what I was looking for! Covers all my towing needs. I would have given the product 5 stars, but the cary bag is less than adequate for the weight of the product. Needs more than 1 cary strap. Just a few more steps in quality of the cary bag and this would be 5 stars all day. I can go to a hardware store and easily solve the bag issue. Still a great price and product. Thank you! 257098
by: Ron D.05/06/2017
This is a really complete set. The only way it could be better is if it came with a 1 1/2 inch wrench for the ball nuts. Not complaining, I just bought a wrench to toss in the bag with the other items. I love this set. It is heavy duty and the bag is a big plus to keep everything together. Also an excellent price, you could not buy all these items separately for the same price. 377133

Thank You George for your email. No pics will be available at the moment as this will be a surprise Christmas Gift for my husbands new 2017 Toyota Tacoma 4 wheel drive truck.

I'm very pleased with the whole experience of buying and installing my etrailer.com trailer hitch and wiring harness on my '06 Subaru Outback! Shipping was extemely fast and the hitch fit perfectly. The installation video was a great help, it took me less than 30 minutes to do the whole job and that's without a lift. I've already recommended etrailers.com to a co-worker. 10985

This product is of great value regarding price and quality. It shipped timely and arrived just as expected. The follow up email from George J following regarding my order is great customer service. Especially as he included links to product specific details and instructions. I would recommend etrailer.com for all of your towing and recreational vehicle gear needs. 452488

Product arrived in 2 packages. Hassled UPS guy because I only got 2 boxes & I ordered 3 items! It would have been nice to know that item was embedded in another package. I was impressed that the packages were handled without any significant damage considering the weight. Thank and look forward to installed them this weekend! Great price and install Video! 334764
by: Mar N.03/16/2017
Two different drops, two different balls, pin and sturdy carrying bag all for a price less than the sum of the parts. I have two tow vehicles of different heights so I was going to need to get another drop, ball, and pin anyway. With this combo, I got everything I needed and then some for a very good price. And now I have a sturdy bag to carry it all in. 353570
Everythings great. Thanks for following up. Ive recommended your company to several of my friends. Something I do sparingly.
Mar N - 03/16/2018by: MSS06/03/2014
I ordered multiple parts for 2014 Subaru, all parts received promptly and in good condition, all parts fit as expected. I did remove the muffler and cut hole in heat shield as others had recommended. Installed with the help of the Mrs. as holding hitch up and installing nuts is rather hard by yourself. Would definitely order from etrailer again. 134032
by: Jim R.03/28/2017
Review that product appears excellent, made well and nice contents bag to keep in truck. Can't really state how product works since I have not had opportunity to actually use it yet. Planning on using for first time in a week or so if I buy a trailer. Product convenience and availability in my truck is exactly what I was hoping for when purchased. 359591

I purchased the Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches. Product ordering was simple and the attention and service was great. Almost immediately I received word about my order being processed from a "live" person - not a computer!! I am happy with the product itself. Good quality and received in a timely manner. All in all....very impressive. 70108

Bought a trailer hitch and wiring harness for my 2017 Ford Escape. Both the hitch and wiring harness went on very easy, I spent maybe 4 hours with a lunch break thrown in to put the whole thing together.. saved me a ton of money not having to rent a truck and car carrier, and just towing a trailer. Thanks for a great product and a great price. 346634
by: Barry C.01/07/2014
This product is good quality and a very sturdy hitch. Fit and finish was very good. The storage bag is and added bonus and will fit nicely under my seat. Shipping was prompt and the price was competitive. Email status updates during the order and shipping process were helpful and appreciated. This Product and company are highly recommended. 112082
by: Gary H02/23/2013
This is a wonderful kit! The 2 receiver bars give you a variety and combination of 4 different rises/drops. One of these is sure to be the right height for most any application. Coupled with the 1 7/8" or the 2"" balls provided, you have a tow anything combo. All in a very nice zipperd bag to keep together. Great product!. Gary H. 67519
by: Greg02/15/2018
Package arrived earlier than expected, thanks George for getting out quicker than expected. Great kit provides for multiple trailer heights and ball sizes. Threw my wrenches right into the included storage case and put it in the back of my suv. Everything I need to quickly switch hitch height and ball size in one easy to access case 475909

by: William L.02/12/2012
High quality, pretty straight forward. Will cover most of the towing needs I will ever have with this vehicle. Biggest reason I bought this kit was because by ordering the hitch and wiring harness through etrailer.com I saved a ton of money compared to having one installed. I looked at it as a freebie. 31674

Amazing experience with etrailer! The selection process was a delight, the order process was painless, and the product readiness for the installation process was absolutely more than expected! there is no doubt that I will consider etrailer as my first stop when shopping for products they sell. 391763

Got the Ball Mount Kit when I bought a hits receiver for my Jeep Wrangler. A good selection of parts in a nice bag. Very heavy, solid construction. Parts look heavy duty and top quality. It fits nicely in a compartment under the mats in the back of the Jeep, so I'm always ready to tow things. 439034
by: Tony D07/18/2013
The product was as expected...... but the service was out of this world! I was expecting it would take a week to arrive, but it was here in 3 days. Thanks for the attention given to my order. I look forward to doing business with you again and would certainly recommend you to all my friends. 90192
by: Lamarre L.06/28/2017
I bought this hitch package so I could install it myself. However, I had it installed for me by automotive technicians and they had no problems. Everything bolted right in as stated. It sits right under the bumper with plenty of ground clearance. The quality is more than what I expected. 401225
