Before you even leave the driveway, this mount lets you know if your trailer is balanced. The built-in scale shows tongue weight the moment the coupler drops onto the ball, so you can shift your load before hitting the road. With readings taken in the drop position, it takes the guesswork out of setup and helps keep towing predictable.
This mount is built to handle real work. Rated for 10,000 lbs gross towing weight and 1,500 lbs maximum tongue weight, it’s ready for campers, UTVs, ATVs, and cargo trailers that fall within that range. The numbers are stamped for a reason—so you can match your trailer confidently and tow without wondering if you’re pushing limits.
Machined from 6061 T6 billet aluminum, the shank and platform are tough but lighter in your hands than steel. You notice it when lifting it into the receiver and again after seasons of towing—solid feel without extra bulk. It’s a durable build that resists wear from weather and road grime while keeping a clean look.
No moving parts to adjust or maintain—just a fixed 2" drop that fits cleanly into a 2" x 2" receiver. The straightforward design means fewer things to rattle or loosen over time. Once installed, it stays steady mile after mile, giving you a solid connection from truck to trailer.
The mount meets SAE J684 and VESC requirements, meaning it’s been tested and rated for actual towing work. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about knowing your setup meets the same standards used across the industry for strength and reliability.

Perfect
Received it quick. Great quality.
Good quality. Have to see how long it l asts.
I haven't been able to see how it works yet. But I'm sure I won't be disapointed.
Works as expected
Exactly what I needed to tow my trailer and sxs home. E trailer got it shipped fast, usps on the other hand were sorta slow. Thanks
Easy to balance the load to avoid unsafe trailer sway.
High quality and great warranty. Shipping took a little longer than I expected, but it’s here now and installed!
It told me what I needed to know. Lets me adjust the load to get the proper tongue weight. Very useful.
Work great, no more guessing
Just installed tow ball so haven't used it yet. But this is absolutely the best looking tow ball receiver hitch I've ever seen and excellent packaging, all in the USA!
Towing only 2500lbs so not anticipating any issues. Will be recommending to all my buddies.
its what i needed i have one all set up for my other trailer that one works great
I do not weigh 400lbs, or 100 lbs. So far, it is not even close to being accurate enough to trust the reading
I like the simplicity of the hitch. Dial is graduated by 100 lbs and the spacing is pretty tight but it works. I bought a 12' tilt trailer so I wanted to pay particular attention to tongue load. Nice except for the dial.
Pros - well crafted, one piece of solid aluminum. Easy to read gauge. Won't rust. Light.
Cons - Much larger (thicker, longer) than standard bars, gauge will not work if installed upside down (to use in rise position), you have to know/guess your trailer and load weights every time
Final verdict - very nice and helpful to ensure that you are not overloaded on the tongue weight. So nice you'll lock it up when not in use. Made from aluminum so you don't get dirty from any rust (like steel bars). Definitely a welcome addition to my truck.
quick delivery, product was packaged well. I will definitely order here again.
Great communication! Fast shipping! Good price!

Works great and provides peace of mind, ensuring trailer stability prior to towing.
I purchased this for my 2026 Forester Wilderness, It does not fit. the portion that goes into the receiver extends into the body of the vehicle and will not allow it to be pinned. It is of good quality but unusable for me.
When I attached the trailer to the truck I was surprised at the weight of the hitch weight. I was expecting about 600 pounds and the gauge indicated 850 pounds. It pays to check!

That's pretty common, Keith. Knowing your exact tongue weight gives you the opportunity to redistribute your cargo so you can achieve a perfect 10-15% tongue weight.

I like how you were trying to test it Keith, I might have done the same thing if I wouldn't have sat through the Weigh Safe training. The built-in scale on the Weigh Safe hitch is designed to measure tongue weight, the downward force from your trailer’s coupler when it’s hooked up. When someone stands on the hitch ball, the pressure isn’t applied the same way a trailer tongue presses down. That difference makes the gauge read incorrectly, which is why it may have shown 400 lbs instead of your actual weight. For an accurate reading, you’ll want to connect your trailer, latch the coupler, and raise the jack. That’s when the scale gives you the true tongue weight you can rely on.
