Different trailers rarely line up the same, and that can throw your setup off balance. With an adjustable range from a 10" drop to an 11" rise in 1" increments, this 180 Hitch makes it easy to dial in the perfect height every time. It keeps all your trailers—big or small—level and steady so they track straight and stay comfortable to tow.
Switching between trailer coupler sizes doesn’t have to mean changing hitches. This setup has both a stainless steel 2" and a 2-5/16" ball on opposite sides of the same platform. Just pull the dual pins, flip the platform, and reinsert—it’s ready to tow again. The 2" ball handles up to 8,000 lbs, while the 2-5/16" ball is rated for 21,000 lbs, so you’re covered for everything from lighter utility trailers to heavy hauls.
Security matters when you’ve got serious gear hanging off your hitch. This mount includes locking dual pins that secure the platform on the shank and a keyed-alike hitch receiver lock that keeps the mount itself in place. Four keys come with it, giving you peace of mind whether you leave it installed or swap trailers often.
Strength doesn’t have to mean extra weight. The shank and mounting platform are made from solid 6061 T6 billet aluminum, keeping it light but strong enough for heavy towing. The stainless steel hitch balls resist corrosion from weather and road grime, so they stay clean and smooth over time. It’s a solid setup built for years of dependable towing without excess bulk.
From hookup to hauling, every bit of this hitch feels solid and precise. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball is 8-1/2" on the closest pin hole and 9-5/8" on the farthest, giving plenty of clearance for most trailers while keeping your rig compact. It’s a straightforward design that makes towing simpler every time you use it.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Weigh Safe 180 Hitch with two ball mounts for your three-inch trailer hitch receiver. Now, this 180 hitch is gonna slide into your three-inch receiver and it's going to give you a two inch ball and a 2 5/16 inch ball, and this is a double-sided tow ball, making switching tow balls very easy, and the ball is stainless steel. And this is going to give you, at this orientation here, a maximum drop of 10 inches, and then when you flip this shank over, you're gonna get a maximum rise of 11 inches with an incremental adjustment of one inch, so this is going to give you that height adjustability that you're looking for so you can tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. Now, when you're towing with your 2 5/16 inch hitch ball, you're gonna have a gross towing capacity of 21,000 pounds. With the two inch ball, it's gonna be 8,000 pounds, and this has a maximum tongue weight of 2,200 pounds.
And this hitch is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum, giving you that superior strength and durability. The solid block construction is going to give you greater strength than some hollow steel options that are out there, but this is going to maintain a light weight. This is obviously gonna be rust-proof for a clean finish that's going to stand up to the test of time. If you're gonna be towing around water like a boat trailer or something like that, this is really gonna be a great option for you to consider. It's durable, it's rugged, it's gonna hold up really well.
As I mentioned, the balls are stainless steel, and this does feature a dual-pin slider lock that's going to make adjusting this very easy. So, you're gonna be able to adjust the height and switch the ball sizes without any problem. This does include this black rubber cover that's gonna protect that keyway there. And so you are gonna get four keys and these keys are keyed alike, so the idea is you can use one key for the dual-pin slider lock and also for the hitch-pin lock, which we'll talk about momentarily. But lemme go ahead and stick the key in here, give it a turn, and then that's going to allow me to remove our pins.
And so the pins and the housing here are aluminum, and then our lock is a plated steel. So, again, very durable. It's gonna hold up well against corrosion. So, look how easy this is going to be to adjust the height here. It's gonna slide up and down very easily, and then I'm using my two inch ball right now.
Let me swap this over to my 2 5/16 inch hitch ball. And there we go, it's just that simple. And then what I'm going to do, just turn this around here and then replace the pins. So, let me just tilt this here real quick so I can see. Line up the holes, then that's how easy this is going to be. I'm really impressed with just how smooth everything operates. As you can see, you're not going to be struggling at the back of your truck trying to get that perfect height adjustment or the tow ball size that you are going to need. So, I mentioned that this does include this locking hitch pin, and I'm just gonna go ahead and it has this cover here to protect the keyway to slide the key in here, and give it a turn, that's gonna allow me to unlock it. Now, what I really like about this lock is you do not need the key inserted into the head to lock this back up, so I went ahead and turned this back to the locked position and removed the key. So, when I slid this into my three-inch receiver and I'm ready to lock this up, just gonna slide that pin through, and then as you can hear, it is locked into place without the key. So, very convenient, really happy for that option there. So, lemme give you some measurements here just so you have a good idea of the size and the clearance. So, measuring from the center of our first hitch pin hole to the center of our ball, we're sitting at about 8 1/2 inches. Moving to the center of the second hitch pin hole, it's gonna be about 9 5/8 inches, and then from the center of the second hitch pin hole to the end of the shank, about 1 7/8 inches. This is V5 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.

Fast shipping,
Simple and easy to switch to another trailer with a different ball size and height. Only negative thing I can say is I would prefer a little tighter fit into the receiver.
I would have given it 5 stars if I could open my GM flex tailgate. Oh so close but still a nice piece!
This mount is an amazing piece of engineering. My father was a machinist and I know he would be impressed. It functions flawlessly with all of my various trailers, and even looks great on my truck. The order was processed and shipped super fast, arriving within a few days. Great job and hats off to etrailer.com !!!
The weigh safe hitch. Quality made very nice hitch.
Much lighter than my bulletproof just what I need when pulling my utility trailer.
PERFECT. EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.
Makes a little more noise (rattle) than my all steel non adjustable hitch
Arrived quickly and in perfect shape. Very robust hitch and fits perfectly. Highly recommend this hitch.
High quality. Website videos helped with selection decision. Decent price. Fast shipping
Great hitch. Easily adjustable
Easy to install sturdy towing platform. Like that ths ball mount can be stowed out of the way.
After 3 months one of the trailer chains bonds against the hitch while taking a shape turn and bent the key to flip the receiver ball. So we are basically stuck with a 2 5/16 receiver since it cannot be opened and flipped. Aluminum is nice but weak at the same time.
Very solid and beautifully finished. Fits well on my 2016 Ram 2500 4x4, with the newer 2-1/2" receiver, allowing the exact height necessary to level my toy hauler. Ball mount is packaged in foam to ensure it is pristine when it arrives.
Got the locking dual pin for it, as well as the BOLT locks for hitch and coupler, so none of this pretty stuff walks away. Very happy with the whole setup.
A little mixup on the initial order was corrected immediately, so I had all the parts I needed in time to hit the road. Thanks etrailer team!
Work horse and light weight. Comes with key locks keyed alike for hitch and ball. Stainless steel ball ensures durability for towing long term.
Been looking for a while on a new hitch and finally pulled the trigger. Etrailer made it fast and easy to get the hitch I wanted at a fair price.
The 180 Weigh Safe is an excellent adjustable hitch. Exceptional fit and finish.
Fast shipping as always! While I haven't had the chance to use this hitch yet, it looks like a high-quality product straight out of the box. I plan to test it this weekend and will update this review if I remember after putting it to use.
Would say WOW ! Excellent communication from the second order was placed , tracking from start to finish. Super packing job and way quick delivery . Product is great , heavy built and easy to change based on what trailer I need to use . Wish I had bought one years ago !
worked just fine. easy to adjust. will work for both trailers of different hitch height
Good product feels very sturdy. My only critique is that it has too much play causing a lot of rattling. The manufacturer should have a tightening bolt so that after installation the two components tighten up and there’s no play.
Hitch works well. Seems it could be a bit tighter when in receiver on truck but overall is a good purchase.
Great price outstanding quality and had it to my front door in less than 48 hours!
This is a solid hitch, the double pin on the ball side locks everything in tight no rattling and love the locking mechanism on this unit… Price is excellent and delivery time wasn’t that long… Great job to you guys at etrailer
Great product. Craftsmanship is top notch.
Easy to use and very sturdy built. My only complaint is the standard coated Balls rusted pretty quickly and look bad. I Should have went with the upgraded stainless steel. Also the salt from 1 winter has left some corrosion on the aluminum of the hitch and the sticker fell off. None of these things affect the function, but i wish it would have stayed looking as nice as it did when it was new.
