Guesswork is the last thing you need when you’re hauling. This hitch has a built-in gauge that automatically measures tongue weight every time you couple your trailer. It reads the actual load on the ball so you can adjust your cargo before you roll out. No separate scale, no extra steps—just a quick, accurate check for better balance and safer towing.
When you’re pulling serious weight, strength counts. The 2-5/16" stainless steel hitch ball handles up to 15,000 lbs GTW and 2,200 lbs maximum tongue weight, while the 2" ball manages 8,000 lbs GTW. The high-strength steel shank with a matte black powder coat resists corrosion and stands up to repeated use in the elements. It’s a solid piece of gear built to handle demanding trailer loads without flinching.
Level towing keeps everything stable whether your trailer sits high or low. This adjustable mount slides along the shank in 1" increments so you can dial in the perfect height—up to an 8" drop or a 9" rise. Swapping between trailers is easy with the two included balls (2" and 2-5/16"), letting you match different coupler sizes without changing mounts.
When it’s time to park or open your tailgate, flip the platform under the vehicle to keep it out of the way. Dual locking pins let you move the ball mount platform from towing position to stow position quickly and securely. The keyed-alike hitch receiver lock and dual pins deter theft while keeping everything tight for travel.
Road grime and weather are tough on towing gear, but this setup is made to last. The black powder-coated steel shank resists rust, and the stainless steel balls stay smooth after miles of use. With details like SAE J684 certification and a limited lifetime warranty, it’s a hitch that keeps working trip after trip.

Hello, neighbor! Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at our steel Weigh Safe with built-in scale, dual ball mount for a two-inch shank. Now folks, this will give you a max drop of eight inches and a max rise of nine inches depending on what position you have it in. You get a two-inch ball rated at 8,000 pounds capacity and a two and five-16th inch ball rated at 15,000 pounds max capacity. Now folks, this will give you adjustable options as far as heights of different trailers, different size couplers with the two different balls. More importantly, you have this built-in scale.
I wanna zoom in and give you an image on the screen. That's what that scale looks like, close up and that will help you balance your trailer, promote safe towing by giving you the right correct tow weight that you can adjust before you go down the road. And it's a simple operation. It's gonna automatically give you that measurement every time you put a coupler down on it. And that'll give you the tow weight and it's efficient and hassle-free and eliminates the need for separate or commercial-grade scale use.
Now, you do again, get two balls. These are stainless steel construction so you don't have worry about rust corrosion. The whole unit here that's black powder coated is a high carbon steel. It's V5 and J684 certified. You also get two sets of keys.
These are keyed alike. Underneath this protective rubber cover here, you have the dual locking pin. That's for the main housing assembly. And then you have your hitch pin over here. So, I'm gonna take one of these sets of keys here.
We'll go ahead and undo the hitch pin lock here. Tubular keys, (key scrapes) harder to lock pick, a lot more robust, longer lasting durability. You're not gonna smash these to where they're unusable. One thing I like while we're on the hitch pin, you just simply pop it back together with no key and that's what locks it. So, very easy to do that operation. (pin knocking) And those same keys, we simply unlock the pin down here on the bottom. If I can get it lined up here (metal scraping) to unlock it. There we go. And it simply pulls out, (pin knocking) this is hardened steel as well. And let's say I want to swap out this two-inch ball with the two and five-sixteenths. (metal knocking) Slide it off. And on the backside here, you'll notice there is a ring, a key ring there. Just simply fold this down or rather tip it over and that'll slide right out. It's super easy. They make it super easy for you. Put the two and five-16th inch ball in place, line the pin up with the hole, (pin scraping) slides right back in there. And then all you gotta do is push that ring down into that recess portion and then from there you simply put it right back onto the shank. Put your steel-locking key back in place, (metal scraping) or steel pins rather with the lock. There you go. (keys knocking) And then you are ready to go. All locked in. I can put the dust cover on if I want. I'll leave it off for now. But it's that simple folks. So, what did that take me 20, 30 seconds max. So, (inhales) very easy to do. As far as some measurements, center ball to center of hitch pin hole here, we're looking at eight inches. And then center ball to center of the back, hitch pin hole, nine and one-eighth inches. Now, from the center of this hitch pin hole back to the back, it's two and three-eighth inches. And the center of this one back is three and a half inches. So again, folks, this is the Weigh Safe steel with built-in scale, dual ball mounts with the two stainless steel balls for the two-inch shank. I'm Steven. Thanks so much for watching! I hope this information has been helpful for you. As always, stay safe while you're towing.

print service but expensive!!
It is a great product and works as indicated. Even though it is a little pricey it is worth the peace of mind to know that your weight is evenly loaded/
Very Heavy Duty!
fantastice and what you would expect.
Have not used it yet.Solid build.
I like the ease at which to put together this Weigh Safe ball mount. It takes no time at all. The weight of it does not make it difficult to maneuver. The built-in scale is wonderful for those needing to make sure their tongue weight is within range before towing.
Great product and functions as expected.
Great Service! Easy to install! Works G reat!!
Great hitch, fit and finish is excellent with lots of adjustability. Nice to have the scale when loading equipment or vehicles. I have used lots of hitches, this is worth spending the money if you tow different trailers or trailers with different weight loads.
Delivered in no time flat. Product is o utstanding.
My third Weigh Safe hitch! Excellent product. Would not use anything else.
I have the Weigh Safe Hitch that has the smaller ball, with the "clam shell" adapter, but I just wasn't comfortable traveling across country pulling a car on a trailer behind our motor-home with that set-up. I am very glad I upgraded to this product. It is a much heavier constructed piece of equipment.I will use the other one around town on our SUV, but I know have more confidence out on the road in the motor-home. The "clam shell" might have never given me a problem, but this just removes one more thing to worry about while far away from home. As always.. "etrailer's" delivery was fast and reliable.
The hitch seems to be a really nice. I have yet to test the scale with my trailer loaded. The reason for the 4 star and not 5. The hitch showed up damaged from shipping. The packaging is very thin, it looks like it was dragged down the street. Because of the weight of this hitch it should have been double boxed. Normally I hate it when a seller would double box but his hitch needed it to prevent it from ripping through its original box. For the price of this hitch I feel like it should arrive undamaged.
It is exactly what we need in our business. The guys are constantly adjusting the hitch to level the trailers with and without loads and this helps to know that we are not overloading the tongue. High quality as well.
It has given me insight to trailering live weights like horses. The tongue weight varies up to 500lbs as horses move around.
The locking pins freeze up in the cold so you can’t adjust height, switch ball size or remove from the truck. The locking pins rust very quickly and are very difficult to remove. I take good care of my trailer stuff and I have regularly oiled the lock mechanism since I first put it on the truck, I was very disappointed when I realized it had already rusted. The scale is cool but serves no justifiable purpose. I will not be purchasing any other weighsafe products.
Until using this product, knowing the tongue weight was all about the look and the feel when towing.
Hauling unusual loads, this product has helped solve the problem of tongue weight.
I feel safe and secure with my load now every time with no trailer sway!
This product is 'exquisite' fits well, integrated hitch weight meter, and will serve my needs well. The etrailer experience was exceptional. Smooth order processing, notifications of next steps, the customer service from William, and Amy! Let me not forget pricing, the best I found in my search. I'll tell lots of friends about this.
good versatile insert
That’s a badass trailer hitch!
This is a fantastic hitch. The service of Jacob though was the real star here. Super fast shipping and arrived on time. Etrailer is a great retail experience. Thank you.
