Balancing a trailer’s load used to mean guessing or hauling out a separate scale. This hitch has a built-in gauge that automatically measures tongue weight as soon as you couple your trailer. The moment the trailer settles on the ball, you see the reading right on the hitch. It’s quick and accurate, helping you know your load is balanced before you hit the road.
If you haul big trailers, campers, or equipment, strength matters. This Weigh Safe steel hitch is rated for 22,000 lbs gross towing weight with the 2-5/16" ball and 8,000 lbs with the 2" ball. The solid steel shank resists stress and flex, while its black powder coat helps it stand up to corrosion. It’s built to handle serious loads without compromise.
Switching between trailers with different coupler heights doesn’t have to mean swapping mounts. You can adjust this one in 1" increments for up to an 8" drop or 9" rise. The dual-ball design lets you move between 2" and 2-5/16" couplers in seconds—just pull the pin, swap balls, and lock it back in place.
Need room for accessories behind your truck? The shank on this hitch has enough clearance for a Rock Tamers mud flap kit like part # RT47VR. That means you can keep your protection setup in place without worrying about interference when turning or towing larger trailers.
When you’re done towing, flip the ball platform underneath the vehicle for a clean look and extra shin clearance. Locking dual pins hold it tight in either position, and the included keyed-alike locks secure both the shank and platform against theft. Four keys come with it, so you’re always covered whether you’re towing or storing.

Hello neighbors, Steve here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at our Weigh Safe Steel Ball Mount with two balls, a built-in scale, and a 2-1/2 inch shank. Now folks, this does come with two different sized balls. First, you have the 2 inch ball. That's rated at 8,000 pounds gross towing weight. And then you got the 2-5/16 inch ball.
That one's rated at 22,000 pounds capacity. Now folks, this does have a nice 8 inch drop or 9 inch rise, and you have 1 inch increments on those holes. Now I wanna show you this whole unit close-up, but I wanna give you a quick close-up on the screen of that scale. So that's what that scale looks like close-up. The tongue weight scale that's built in here helps you balance your trailer, promote safe towing.
It lets you know if you need to adjust your load before you tow if it's too heavy or not enough tow weight or tongue weight. And it's very simple operation and simple to read. As you can see, you got digits that go from zero all the way up to 2,200 pounds, and then you get to the red zone and that kind of stuff. So, very efficient, hassle-free. It eliminates the need for separate or commercial scales.
And the adjustable height will let you pull different trailer heights with the same tow vehicle, and the different sized balls will do the same. Now as you can see, it does come with a nice hitch pin lock and a lock here. This is covered with a rubber cover here, so that's gonna keep dirt, dust, debris, that kind of stuff out, same with this. You get four tube keys. It is keyed alike, so I can simply use this key, take my ball mount out of my hitch by simply unlocking it.
And then that very same key, I can take, come over here, and I can take the ball mount lock out. Now at this point, I could simply take off the head unit here. And let's say I wanna switch to the 2-5/16 inch ball. Well, very simple to do. So back here in the back, you can see that key ring looking thing, just simply pull that out, it usually falls out really easy. Take the 2 inch ball out, put your 2 inch ball back in place, line the pin hole up, put the pin back in. And then when you push the pin in, that ring is recessed in there. And then all you gotta simply do is slide this back on, whatever height you want. And if you wanna end the rise, you would obviously flip this back over to get to the rise. Now once I've got it in place, I simply insert my dual steel pin here. And bear with me here while I get the holes lined up. And once you get that lined up, this pin will go right in. There we go. And then you simply lock it, locked, put the rubber dust cover back on to protect it from dirt and debris, that kind of stuff. And the cool thing with the hitch pin, you simply push it in. You don't have to use the key to lock it, it snaps right on, and it's gonna be back into a locked position just like that. And you put the rubber cover back on, it's not going anywhere. So again, folks, the balls are stainless steel construction. You don't have to worry about rust or corrosion. The high-carbon steel assembly here has been black powder coated for a nice rust-resistant and corrosion-resistant surface as well. So I'm gonna end here with some quick dimensions. Center of the ball to the center of this hitch pin hole, 8 inches. Center of the ball to the center of this hitch pin hole, 9-1/8 inches. Well folks, that will wrap it up. Just a quick look at the Weigh Safe Steel Ball Mount with built-in scale. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.

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.
good versatile insert
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
print service but expensive!!
Delivered in no time flat. Product is o utstanding.
