If you have a trailer with a short tongue, like I do, this Hidden Hitch Extra Long Ball Mount is a big help! I bought a 2021 Nissan Frontier, which has a taller tailgate than the Tacoma I previously used, and found that when the tailgate was down so I could see to back my trailer to load my boat, that I only had about 2 to 2-1/2 inches of clearance between the tailgate and the winch mounting post, and I would damage the tailgate and/or winch post when making a tight turn. I went online to find a longer hitch mount, and found this one. Not only does it solve the problem, but the longer hitch mount actually makes the trailer easier to back than a regular mount! The only negative I have to say is that the hole drilled in the long mount for the pin to go through to secure it to the hitch receiver was drilled offcenter, and as a result it is not flush in the receiver and tilts the longer hitch mount at a slight sideways angle. This results in the trailer hitch catching on the ball when I go to raise it, and you it takes the force of continuing to raise the trailer to get the hitch off the ball.

Needed to get more clearance between boat trailer and truck so I could still lower tailgate or make tight turns without worrying. Didn't want to give up towing capacity or tongue weight by using a hitch extension. This solved my problem and fit well in the Class 3 factory tow hitch that came with my 2013 Toyota Tacoma.

First, let me say that eTrailer is fast, easy, and well-priced. Just received this ball mount and tried it on my Tacoma pulling a Jayco Jay Feather 17C hybrid. Works like a charm. The only issue is that the bike tires MAY hit the dual propane tanks if I really jack knife, but I can probably strap the tires together to avoid it.

I ordered this item with standard ground delivery. 'etrailer' upgraded my order, and delivered in 3 days. The product looks high quality, but I was hoping for more clearance between the upper and lower receivers. It's difficult to attach the trailer when the bike rack is in place.

I like it. I have a few thousand miles on it by now pulling a 2015 MINI on a uhaul auto transport trailer with a 2020 Tacoma and I think it helps keep a smooth ride. I’ve pulled with it from Phoenix to Seattle and back, and recently from Phoenix to Lewes Delaware. Before my first trip with the hitch I got into a lengthy debate over whether or not I had wasted my money on the entire concept of this hitch or not. The first time I pulled an empty trailer with it, I thought maybe I had fallen for a slick pitch because it wasn’t all too different than any other trip with a trailer bouncing around behind me. I pulled the trailer around my neighborhood on streets that I knew for a few laps around the block, then switched hitches back to my old solid one and did the same route and there was indeed a difference with this hitch. It won’t make the bumps and tugs disappear but it will noticeably mute them. Along all of my tows there have been stretches of road where I have thought to myself I’m glad I have this hitch and wonder how much worse the ride would have been without it. The trailer I use has surge braking and there was a concern that the horizontal movement of the hitch could trigger the brake but I haven’t noticed that to be an issue. I recommend the product but if you don’t buy this hitch, use etrailer for whatever you do buy. THE BEST service, fast shipping, great communication, I appreciate this site so much. Every internet shopping trip starts at etrailer, if they sell what I need I’ll buy it here. I want them to stay around for as long as possible, they remind me of what service and support from a business is supposed be and I’m happy to do what I can to keep them around. I’m glad I found etrailer, thanks!

etrailer.com always gives excellent service. You can depend on them.

Longer stinger let me drop the tailgate on my Tacoma with trailer attached. Replaced a similar but shorter Curt hitch and both are very substantial and well made for the weight of my trailer.

I purchased this unit to extend the trailer jack handle just far enough that I could open the tailgate on my truck with the trailer attached. It worked perfect. I tow a pop-up camper with 2006 Toyota Tacoma. Pricing was good and delivery was quick from etrailer. At first I tried to buy locally from auto parts store or camper store, but neither had in stock anything the right dimensions. The unit from etrailer is made in the USA, fit just right, and was better quality than what I saw locally.

I'm going to be moving soon and I have a new truck. I bought a hitch kit and extendable rear view mirrors for towing. They were well packaged and delivered quicker than I expected. You get something extra with your order. What really impressed me was the people. These people clearly LOVE what they do. You get people who actually care, with every order. That's something you can't buy and they give it away with every order.

I was surprised when I noticed that the hitch, wiring harness, and the towing starting kit had arrived a day sooner than estimated. Total install time for the hitch and wiring harness was no more than an hour because I took my time and wanted to route everything perfectly, no drilling or fancy tools needed. The build quality on all these products is fantastic (no wonder it's one of their most popular items) If you're on the market for a hitch and wiring harness combo and anything else regarding towing I say give etrailer.com a try. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!

Just what i needed to get my trailer back far enough so my trailer jack would not hit my tailgate on my 2016 Toyota Tacoma,,,,,and i also installed a Malone hitch tightener,,,,so now i have more room for the jack and everything is tight and quite,,,,,should have did this along time ago,,,,,both are great products,,,,fast shipping also......Thanks

The ball mount arrived undamaged and in a very timely manner. It is exactly as described and worked well for my application. I was very impressed with how fast this item arrived and the care given to the packaging. Other online sites have sent me similar items packaged so poorly that they frequently received damage. But etrailer staff were extremely diligent about how to package a heavy item, therefore no damage. Will certainly use etrailer again.

Trailer hitch, quick service. What else is there to say

Exactly as described, well packaged and very prompt standard delivery (sort of surprising for such a heavy item). Looking forward to boating season with my new ride !

I’m pleased with the product and how prompt the delivery was. However the packaging was insufficient and the packaging was torn open all over. Scuffing of the finish is a result and of little consequence due to the intended use. It’s a stinger w/ball for motorhome. May I suggest better packaging in the future

I like the extra long length. No one else make a hitch this long.

Slips right into the hitch and works perfectly!

Have not used and may not. May try returning and see how that works. After installing the DrawTite hitch I see the 2" drop on this insert will be too low. Shame on me for not thinking this through prior to ordering.
