Getting your trailer level is critical for smooth, stable towing. This mount gives you up to an 8" drop or a 9" rise with 1" incremental height adjustment, so you can dial in the perfect setup for different trailers. The adjustable ball mount platform slides easily along the 3" x 3" aluminum shank and locks in place with dual locking pins. Every pull feels steadier when your trailer sits right behind the truck instead of tilting up or down.
Balancing tongue weight used to mean hauling out scales or guessing at the load. The built-in gauge on this hitch tells you instantly if your trailer is loaded correctly—no extra tools required. As soon as you couple up, the pressure on the hitch ball gives a quick reading right on the integrated scale. You’ll know right away if your load needs adjustment before you hit the road.
This hitch is made from tough 6061 T6 billet aluminum, so it’s solid without being overly heavy. The stainless steel 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls handle serious loads—10,000 lbs and 21,000 lbs gross towing weight respectively—with a maximum tongue weight of 2,200 lbs. It’s all SAE J684 certified and VESC Regulations V-5 compliant, built for strength that doesn’t quit.
If you tow more than one type of trailer, switching between coupler sizes is simple. Just pull the ball retaining pin, drop in the other stainless steel ball, and lock it back into place—no tools or fuss. The two included balls cover most common trailer connections, making it easy to move from one load to another without swapping mounts.
When you’re done towing, flip the ball mount platform under the shank to keep it out of the way and protect your shins from hard knocks. The locking dual pins hold everything secure for travel, while the keyed-alike hitch receiver lock keeps your setup safe from theft. Everything stays tidy and ready for next time without removing the hitch from your truck.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Weigh Safe Built-In Scale Hitch with two Stainless Steel Balls for your three-inch hitch receiver. Now, this ball mount is going to slide into your three-inch hitch receiver, and it's going to give you two stainless steel balls. You're gonna get the 2 5/16 inch and the two inch ball, and this is going to give you, in this orientation, a maximum drop of eight inches, and then when you flip this over, you're gonna get a maximum rise of nine inches with incremental adjustment of one inch, so this is going to give you the height adjustability that you're looking for so you can tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. Now, when you are using the 2 5/16 inch hitch ball, the gross towing capacity is going to be 21,000 pounds. With the two inch ball, it's gonna be 8,000 pounds.
This has a maximum tongue weight of 2,200 pounds. So, the star of the show is this built-in tongue weight scale that you see right here, and this is built right into the ball platform, and that's gonna help you balance your trailer for safer towing. This scale is going to let you know if your load needs to be adjusted before you tow. It's a very simple operation. This is going to automatically give you a measurement every time you couple your trailer.
So, this is going to be efficient, it's gonna be hassle-free and it's going to eliminate the need for separate or commercial scales. This also features this dual-pin slider lock that's gonna make adjusting the height very simple. I'm gonna go ahead and remove this black cover here that you'll put in place to protect that keyway there. You are going to get four keys here and they're all gonna be keyed alike, so the idea is you use one key for the dual-slider lock and also for the hitch-pin lock, which we'll talk about momentarily, but let me go ahead and insert the key here and just show you how this works. So, I've inserted the key, I'm gonna give that a turn and then that's going to allow me to remove the slider lock.
So, what we have here are these dual pins. They are aluminum, along with the housing here, and then that lock is plated steel, so this is going to be very durable, it's gonna hold up really well against corrosion. And then once I have those pins removed, you can see how easy this is going to be to adjust this to whatever height you're going to need. And while we have the pins out here, I do wanna show you how easy it is to swap out the ball. So, right now I have the two inch ball installed.
So, you can either tip this over and that pin's gonna slide right out, or if it doesn't slide out right away, it has a little key ring there that you can pull on and pull that pin out. So, I'm gonna take out the two inch ball and I'm gonna go ahead and slide in my 2 5/16 inch hitch ball, and you do wanna make sure that you line up the holes just like that, and then I'm going to replace the pin. There we go. And then you just wanna make sure that that ring is flush. And then that's how easy it's going to be to swap out the balls. And so I'm gonna go ahead and replace the shank. So, again, I'm very impressed with just how smooth everything operates. Lemme go ahead and replace my pins here, and we'll turn the key, lock it into place, and then replace my cover here. Obviously, all this is gonna be even more smooth when you have this in your trailer hitch receiver. So, this hitch is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum giving you that superior strength and durability. The solid block construction is gonna give you greater strength than some hollow steel options, but this is gonna maintain a light weight and this is going to be rust-proof for a clean finish. It's going to stand the test of time, so if you've got a trailer that you're using around the water a lot, this is gonna be a great option to consider, especially your boat trailers. Now, I mentioned the locking hitch pin that's included, it's got a little cap here to protect that keyway, and let me just go ahead and unlock this. So, just gonna insert the key, give it a turn. That's gonna unlock this head here. Now, I'm gonna go ahead and lock this back up and remove the key, and I wanted to show you that you do not need the key in the lock to lock this back into place, which I really like about this, so very convenient to use. So, once you're ready to lock up your hitch, you're just gonna slide that pin in and then as you can see in here, it's locked, so you don't need the key inserted to lock that up, so that's good to go. So, again, four keys, they're all keyed alike, and lemme give you some measurements just so you have a good idea of the size and the clearance. So, measuring from the center of the hitch ball to the center of our first hitch pin hole, we're sitting about 8 1/2 inches, then moving to the center of our second hitch pin hole, about 9 5/8 inches, and then from the center of our second hitch pin hole to the end of the shank, about 1 7/8 inches. (base swooshing) This is B5 and J684-certified. And I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

I haven't used the product yet but the experience has been great dealing with etrailer and it looks/feels like a quality built product.
Great hitch, the 8" drop worked great on my 24 Ford F250 Tremor.
Haven't open the box yet. Shipping was fast.
Quality product. Much lighter and easier to handle than comparable steel hitch. Scale seems to be accurate based on camper loading and advertised dry tongue weight.
Looks great, works even better, delivery was quicker than I would have believed. Great job Etrailer!
Best trailer hitch ever purchased. Worth every penny.
I'm very pleased with the weigh-safe hitch. it exceeds all my expectations. extremely well built and it is extremely heavy duty which is what I was looking for. I will be using it for years.
The hitch is very high quality, no questions it’ll take the full 12,500lbs is rated for. etrailer customer service and shipping is another story, arrived rattling around in a cardboard box with no package material. The lock kit box was absolutely destroyed but fortunately the lock was undamaged. UPS delivery because the shipping label came off. I tried contacting etrailer by email twice because UPS kept telling me my package was damaged, never heard a thing back. Luckily my driver figured out it belonged to me and was able to get the box relabeled.
Great product and easy to use. Takes the guess work out of calculating the tongue weight.
No complaints ! Everything from before purchase, to using the hitch has been how all of American business should operate. Thank YOU
I am really impressed with the quality of the Weigh Safe. Although I haven’t used it yet I think it will perform better than my last hitch that almost failed. I will update after I use it.
I've used this for 12 months on a wide range of trailers 3000-15,000# and it's a great product. At the Cat Scale last week I checked the tongue weight at 1300# on the gauge and it was correct. The range of heights is great with trailers from car carrying box trailer to very tall ag trailer, it works with my 1 ton for all. The light weight makes it easy to mount and dismount 1 handed.
The weight scale is not registering the tongue weight. It stays on zero.
I use this to haul a car on a trailer with my Rv and tongue weight is very important because I don't want to flex the frame, my rv has a very long distance from the axel to the bumper. And with this hitch I am able to place the car on the trailer and know the tongue weight for each position I put the car in. I was able to level the trailer as well. This hitch is well made.
I haven't towed with it yet, but out of the box very impressed. It weighs in at approx 18 lbs, so rugged. Using on a 2022 RAM 2500. I was concerned because some drop hitches don't fit well in RAMs due to the rounded corners in the receiver. This one fit perfectly. Shipping was great. Packaging was great. I expect it will tow just fine.
Received my new hitch today and can’t be happier with the build quality. Excellent customer service! Can’t wait to test it out on our next trip.
It's a beast! Heavy duty and everything fits together perfectly. Can't wait to haul my camper with it and see what my actual tongue weight is.
I downloaded the APP. It took me awhile to figure out how the App work. I think I have it figured out now. It would be nice to give a QR code to a video on how the APP set up works. The Hitch overall is made very well.
I was very pleased with the fit and finish of the Weigh Safe hitch and scale. I also purchased a standalone tongue weight scale and was happy to see both of them give me very identical readings. I would like to see an additional pin on the height adjustment pin so it’s not relying solely upon the key lock. I would certainly recommend this hitch for someone that wants to know their trailer tongue weight. Will definitely cut down my trips to the CAT scale and provide a more accurate measurement. I can also move weight around and see direct results on the tongue.
Excellent product and delivered on their promise.
Quick install, nice! It’s built like a tank, I was concerned about weight, not anymore, it’s so light, even the UPS guy was carrying the hitch with one arm tucked by his side! 3” shank, yes, not much slop. Looking forward to using it for the 1st time tomorrow. Looks sweet on the truck too!
