Most Popular Steel Ball for Ford F-250 and F-350 Heavy Duty

Picked up my teardrop in ABQ on 2/17/23, and the Curt ball mount lined up perfectly with no drop/rise, and the extra length gave clearance for my rear door mounted spare tire. This mount is a beast, and the "overbuilt" nature of it gave me confidence that my Bronco would tow the teardrop easily. I also got the Curt Echo wireless brake controller, which synced easily to my phone and was easy to install, set up, and use. Overall a great towing experience, thanks to etrailer and Curt!

Works great used for 3 different trailer we have handy it's heavy well made.

I purchased this hitch to pull my pontoon and utility trailer and needed it to be adjustable for the different trailer heights. I also wanted a hitch that had a feature to remove the play in the hitch which helped reduce sway in the trailers. It also eliminates clunking when stopping and accelerating. It is a very nice, well made heavy duty hitch and is easy to adjust with the notches on the hitch to let you know where you are at.

The solid-tow ball mount eliminated the half dozen other inserts I had to rotate thru to haul the different personal and work trailers I towed last year. I used it with my 03 gmc 2500hd and then switched it to my 2012 2500hd. The newer 2-1/2" hitch uses a reducing sleeve to 2". It does have more slop, because the friction pin doesn't contact the outer housing, rather the sleeve. However, this ball mount is an excellent design and works great. And, it's not likely to be stolen. I would recomend it to anyone, as long as they are at least slightly mechanically inclined. It is a little complicated at first.

I have not had a chance to use the ball mount yet but it is easy to use and fits receiver with no issues. I recently purchased a Curt class V receiver that is installed below my OEM receiver. With the drop installed in the Curt receiver in the upright position, the back of the ball mount comes very close to the bumper on my 2011 Ram 2500 crew cab. I will see if there are any contact issues when actually towing and revise my review, if necessary.

So far so good. Only had the hitch for 2 wks. Upgraded my tractor hauler truck and trailer so why not the hitch as well. Looks to be very solid construction. As to the locking mechanism I am pleased I chose the barrel keys. Easier to keep clean (dirt roads) and spending this $$ on hitch I lock the design. Other hitches have been stolen when they beat the lock bar off the receiver.

Just did ~500miles with about 5k worth of car plus trailer over hill and dale. Works great. No detectable wobbling, but pins are easy to get through holes (not too tight or misaligned). Heavy, but not like, completely unwieldy.

This Hitch does the job perfectly for all my trailers keeping in the upright position and did not notice any excessive rattle..

Went with the B&W due to the length of the shaft going into the receiver. My 2024 Ram's receiver is recessed under the bumper. This hitch is long enough to accept my Towtector product. Similar to Rock Tamers. Also, Brittany in customer service was awesome to work with as she guided me towards the product that worked for my application.

I love being able to switch ball sizes so easy. Still looks good after a year. 2016 F250 2.5 inch lift. Sometimes the hitch scrapes is the only con I have.

Great product and very helpful folks to talk to. I’ve ordered from etrailer many times and it won’t be my last.

This hitch is a very handy addition to my toolbox! I work for a county road department, and I’m always pulling different trailers to and from job sites. I can switch from a 2 5/16” ball hitch, to a pintle hitch with the flip of a lever! Thanks B and W!

The customer service and the timeliness in which l have received my orders from etrailer.com is second to none. I needed my hitch to arrive on time so I could pick up a nice chunk of Sycamore. A bit of electrical tape on the shaft to eliminate "play" in the receiver, slip in the new lockable SS pin from Bulldog and off we went to pick up my prize! What a great company to do business with!

Solid 2-5/16" hitch. The recesses let water by so the hitch won't rust up in your receiver hitch and will be easy to get out. I bought this as a spare, but after receiving it, I will be using it as my primary hitch. I originally bought it to put in my trailer spotter on my skidsteer to move trailers around without having to swap the original hitch from the truck.

I bought this drop down to tow my enclosed trailer behind my Humvee. Because of the nearly two foot ground clearance I wanted a sturdy hitch but still tow a level trailer. This fit the bill 100%. I was not disappointed in this unit. First of all it’s heavy. And that’s a good thing in my mind. Secondly it fit like a glove. Great powder coating and really sweet hardware. Every inch of this hitch is top quality. You can’t go wrong with the price or with etrailer. Best customer service and quick shipping. I highly recommend you chose this hitch if you need a substantial drop and DON’T buy from anywhere but etrailer.

Should be the last hitch I need to buy, is rated for close to what a 2020 F150 with max tow package can haul, in pic mine is at 17.5 inches high which levels my trailers, I got the 10 inch drop but the 6 in one would have worked. Get the 6 in one for this truck if you are worried about it dragging off road. I got the 10 in to cover all future needs with any truck I may tow with

Very nice! It's a little pricey, but it's the best looking hitch money can buy. It's like the fine jewelry of truck accessories. Everybody who sees it really likes it. Even my daughter said "WOW! That's nice!" She's not real big on trailer accessories.

Looks great, I like the safety feature. I wont have to worry about it being stolen.

Bought to pull my boat with my Yukon and needed a drop hitch to level out the trailer. I wanted to buy a quality hitch, and let me tell you the B&W does not disappoint. Well engineered. It’s it heavy but when installed it is pretty easy to adjust height and ball size. Also supporting an American company is a plus!

Great hitch. I bought the 3 ball with 8" drop hitch. My utility trailer needs it almost all the way down. My boat trailer needs it almost all the way up on my Chevy 2500HD. The only time I have removed it was to install a Pintle hitch one day to haul a trailer for a tractor. Tip: Use silicone spray on the adjustable pins. Use of lithium grease fouls them up so it's difficult to remove and reinstall them (collects dirt, dust). Also lubricate your hitch lock monthly, or you won't be able to open it if you ever want to remove the hitch.

I wish I would have bought one of these years ago. It would have saved me from buying 4 different height hitch receivers. I have a boat trailer that requires me to mount this hitch upside down to get about 2.5in of rise. On the flip side is my utility trailer that requires a 2 inch drop. The kicker is that when I load the truck down with gear and people or load the utility trailer up really heavy, this hitch allows me to kick the ball up or down a notch to keep the trailer level. Also if you ever rent heavy equipment most of the trailers they use will have 2 5/16 ball, so I just flip the ball and I'm in business. Build quality and finish is excellent. I don't keep the mount on all year long but with some judicious use of grease this thing hasn't shown any rust over the past year of use. I am currently using this on a stock GMC Sierra 1500 and I really could have gone with one size down on the hitch drop/rise, but I figured if I ever bought a 3/4 ton truck or a friend with one ever needed to borrow the hitch it would have enough drop to work with that application as well. As it stands the 5in drop isn't too long to cause clearance issues with a half ton GM truck. For those of you who are wondering about thieves making off with the ball mount - the design of the tow and stow is such that with all the pins removed and the hitch installed on the vehicle, it is not possible to rotate the ball mount off the receiver. Especially if you mount the receiver using the inner most mounting hole. All that is needed is a locking hitch pin and the whole setup is secure. I've attached a picture of the hitch installed on a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 for reference.

I am so absolutely thrilled with my trailer hitch! etrailer made my purchase extremely easy. I have never bought a trailer hitch before, but I was able to pick the right size and the capability that I needed, based upon awesome product videos and reviews. Your company has exceeded my expectations of customer service and prompt product delivery. I applaud you and your team!

Works flawlessly. I was very excited the day I got home and my Rapid hitch was on the front porch. It came in nice box and was packaged very well. I opened it up and unpacked my rapid hitch and I was very impressed with the quality and precision of this hitch. All of the machining was PERFECT and everything fit together right. I put it in my truck right away. Going down the road with the trailer on and off there is absolutely no rattles, clunks, or jolts. I also love how everything is aluminum or stainless steel, NO RUST. I wish I could've gotten the greaseless model but my boat is too heavy. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with locking pins. With a hitch this expensive I really wish it came with them. Do yourself a favor and order them with your rapid hitch so you don't have to pay for shipping in the future. Other than that great product and I believe it will outlast me.

I ordered this hitch so that I could level out my boat trailer . It’s really nice heavy construction. It did the job for me . Really nice ease of changing ball size . Only thing is the sticker was off when it came out of the box . Not usable so it exposed the hole that hitch rotates on

Perfect for my truck (2022 ram 1500) and my needs.

Looks well built. While at Tractor Supply this evening discovered that I could have bought same rated hitch from another manufacturer for a few less dollars. Oh well

It’s been a week and it’s still not here. The rest of my order was here in 4 days

This was a combination product that contains both trailer balls that I use. I am very pleased with the product and do not have to worry about it breaking under a heavy pull. The service was great including the delivery time frame. I am a completely satisfied customer and will do repeat business in the future! I got all of this for what most companies would charge for 1 ball and 1 hitch bar! Great Value!!!

This was what I needed as far as a high capacity (16k lb) ball mount with the right amount of drop, but the mount does not fit "snugly" in my receiver. There is a bit of play between the receiver and the mount when it is installed.

Good quality part. Easy Install. Used for a year so far. No problems.

Great Hitch, reasonably priced

I tried twice to get this hitch and ball from [online vendor]. Twice the shipment was lost and I had to get a refund. Shipment from etrailer is right the first time and arrived quickly. Plus, since the ball is already torqued on the ball mount, I don't need to by a large socket.

We’ve already installed it and hitched up the horse trailer. Works great for my needs. Half the weight of the much heavier weight distribution system we had been using (and will continue to use for Interstate travel). Hook up was fast and easy.

Using this hitch on my Expedition and LandCruiser. A standard hitch caused my 12 ft utility trailer to not ride level when towed behind either truck. Since my trucks have different ride heights, the B&W hitch allows me to get the perfect drop for each truck. Trailer responds much better to road issues level as opposed to angled behind the truck. Additionally, its rating exceeds both of the trucks’ towing capabilities, so I have the hitch I need for the future as I have plans for a heavier trailer down the road. Quality and fitment of the hitch is excellent.

hitch worked well for my small utility trailer behind my new full size truck. Only possible down side is the ball I'm not using does sit somewhat low and could in certain circumstances hit a kerb or other bump. Haven't had that issue and think it's unlikely, but it is possible. Note I need the ball mounted on the lowest seting, 7" drop to work with this trailer on this truck
