Most Popular Steel Ball for Ram 2500

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!

Initially this hitch seemed solid and well built, but within a year the ball assembly was so loose that I no longer felt comfortable using it. When I contacted the company they said the slop was normal and would not be honoring their warranty by sending a replacement. They would sell me another hitch that they make that has a fix for the problem though! I said no thanks and bought a Bulletproof hitch, which is better in every way.

Has been a great hitch, no issues whatsoever after a year. It could be a little less sloppy in the receiver, but overall a great hitch.

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.

Gone are the days I need to carry three different hitches with different sized balls on them. Gone are the days when I, or others, walked around the back of my truck and cracked their shin on a protruding trailer hitch. I keep this folded up in front of the drop where it's not going to catch anyone by surprise. When I'm ready to use it, I simply pull two pins out which allows it to drop free and rotate out. I choose the height I need and install the two pins/clips. To rotate the balls, again simply pull the third pin and rotate to desired size. It was more than I wanted to spend at the time but since I'm glad I spent the money.

Very impressed with it. It is a really solid hitch Probably overkill for my F150 and 10' utility trailer, but rather have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Perfect drop for my lifted truck, feels solid. Documentation indicates use only B&W pins but I purchased locking pins. Hope they are within specs.

Fast order fulfillment and delivery. Thank you!

The hitch works perfectly. The drop is exactly what was needed to level my tool trailer. I haave used all three ball sizes to tow various trailers, every time the right size ball and right amount of drop was available. My tool trailer tracks perfectly while on the rough Michigan roads and freeways. All in in an excellent product and a good purchase.

Unfortunately this did not work for our situation. We did not receive on time as we paid for Thursday delivery and received it Friday. Our sales rep James was very helpful and extremely kind!! That’s what we look for in customer service!! He’s a keeper!! Lol

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!

I've owned this hitch a year paired behind my 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD with a 7" lift. Performs excellent! Towed several different trailers with different ball sizes and different towing heights totally over 5k miles. Don't ever plan on replacing it because it does everything I need it to do in great fashion! Thanks B&W for making a great product and etrailer for being an excellent provider!

Still works as expected after a year. I love that I can easily switch between sizes or stow it under the hitch out of the way. I've towed 12k+ lbs with it without issue.

Super beefy and very well made. Packed well too. Some careful thought and enginnering went into this piece and you can tell. Im old enough to remember being able to buy high quality, locally made stuff for a reasonable price. Seems like those days are mostly gone. It was fun to inbox this hitch and appreciative the solid craftsmanship. Doesn’t happen too much anymore.

This is a great product, well built and matches my chrome bumper. My truck is lowered so I needed a sturdy product with a good rise to compensate. This hitch, along with the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch from etrailer and the Fastway Trailer Hitch locks work together nicely.

Looks good and functions even better. I have the hitch fully adjusted and never had an issue. Gotten a ton of compliments! Would highly recommend!

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.

This ball mount is extremely heavy duty. I had a stock class IV hitch and aftermarket ball mount on my Ram 3500 SRW and it was bending towing a 14000 lb dump trailer. I upgraded to a class V hitch and this mount and it's working great. I have 6 trailers that I pull with gooseneck, 5th wheel and ball hitches. The only 1 that uses 1 7/8" ball is a little 5x8 utility trailer that I'm converting to 2" so I got the 2 ball instead of the 3. When turned sideways it works as a step to get into the truck but only if the tailgate is up. It doesn't stick out far enough when the tailgate is open. The reason for 1 less star is the documentation; you need more information to make the best choice. I originally ordered a different PN and it hung way too low bc is mounted under the existing hitch. To remove the stock hitch, you also remove the integrated mounting brackets for the bumper. I ordered a PN for a truck without a hitch and cut off the receiver tube with a torch. Also, I upgraded the 3 1/2" exhaust to 4" and now at idle the exhaust rattles on the much larger frame of the class V but a slight modification in planned to take care of that. Installation was fairly straighforward once I removed the original receiver tube.

Convenient. One thing bothers me about this hitch, and that’s the noise. It’s very noisy and rattles. I bought anti rattle clamp and the rubber silencers but still makes noise. Also it always looks pointing inward toward the truck, it always catches my attention when I do a walk around.

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..

Very happy with the hitch. Looked FOREVER all over for details when I got my new to me 2017 Ram 2500. This truck sits so dang high off the ground (4x4) I was worried about getting the proper range of drop for my different trailers. I used my 7x14 utility trailer as my baseline as it rides the lowest. From ground to bottom of my ball coupler is approx 16in. From ground to top of my hitch receiver is approx 25in. On the lowest setting my trailer sits ever so slightly nose totally empty. Check the pic with level. Once loaded I'm confident it will ride very nice. Plus I have all the range to move up for my taller trailers. Super beefy, seems well built, and I picked up the locking pins to go with. Etrailer as always had a great price and I've been ordering from them for years.

I have a 2018 Ram 2500 and was in the market for a hitch. So as usual I go and check out etrailer. I was initially wanting a 8 inch drop but couldn’t find a style I liked. I personally didn’t want aluminum nothing against them just wanted steel. Finding information sometimes can be difficult so this is my main reason for review. As for etrailer I ordered this on a Tuesday afternoon and was at my house by noon on Wednesday. I was expecting Friday possibly Monday for delivery. This hitch is heavy. Fits in receiver good also stays close to bumper for better handling of to tongue weight and also to save your shin pretty sure you run into this thing you won’t forget it. I haven’t towed with this hitch yet but very confident it will be no problem. I have included some photos to help. This truck is all stock. The only negative if there is one is with the hitch in receiver and you hit a decent bump it does let you know it is in receiver.

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.

Perfect Hitch to drag All my trailers. No more digging through the tool box for a different Hitch, its all right there and stows away nice and clean.

Was shipped on time.B&W hitch was fine just missing one pin clip.Box had several holes where pin clip could have fallen out. Looks like it had a rough trip.

It is exactly what I expected, fast delivery, extremely fine product. I also have a turnover ball from you that is also a B&W product. Thank You, Bob

Very well made and easy to use. Haven't towed with it yet, but looks like it will do the job.

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.

Still haven't towed anything with it yet but it seems very solid. I do think it will rattle some in the receiver because it is loose in my 2" receiver on my 2019 F150.

This hitch has worked out great for me over the last year. It’s very heavy duty and easy to adjust. I’ve hauled a 9,000 lb boat, long-distance on numerous occasions without issue. I also haul a landscape trailer on a daily basis weighing over 5,000lbs and haven’t had a single issue. Great hitch that was significantly cheaper than others and is very high quality. I’ve recommended it to several people and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. The only thing I would like to have now in a hitch is a tongue weight gauge, but it isn’t necessary.

I purchased this hitch for my 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 which has the multiple tailgate. The hitch was in the stow position but still damaged my tailgate when I had the tailgate fully down and used the step feature. it bent the metal and scratched the paint. So please be aware this hitch is not recommended for the 2024 GMC sierra 3500 with multiple tailgate.

About a year ago, I bought a new to me truck that needed a 2.5" hitch. I love this 3 in 1 setup. I really like that it stows and I can always have it back there. I haven't used the 1 7/8" yet, but there are plenty of old trailers out there that would need it at some point. I have used the 2" & 2 5/16" plenty. It's sturdy, looks good, and is super convenient, what's not to like about it.

Looks fantastic! Easy to adjust. Works like it should. I would recommend this product. Only negative would be that I cannot lower my tailgate with this ball mount as it is tighter to the truck than most. I drive a 2018 Ram 3500

This hitch was much lighter than my last hitch. Height is easily adjusted.

The product was well described on the web site. The truck matching worked great and was easy to use. This hitch was very easy to order and the price was good. The delivery date was correct, it was easy to follow with the information provided. The hitch was as advertised, easy to install and easy to use. Great Job!

I have been completely satisfied with this product. Very durable, solid beyond my expectations. Whether towing 1/2 ton or 6 tons I have no concerns that the trailer and load aren't safe and secure. Would purchase again but won't need to as this hitch was built to last.
