Guessing at tongue weight or juggling a bathroom scale is a thing of the past. The Weigh Safe Hitch has a built-in gauge right in the ball mount that shows your trailer’s tongue weight the moment you hook up. It’s quick, clear, and takes the guesswork out of balancing your load, so you can adjust before hitting the road for a smoother, safer tow.
Different trailers sit at different heights, and keeping them level matters for stable towing. This mount gives you a full 10" drop or 11" rise with 1" incremental adjustments, letting you dial in the perfect height every time. Just slide the platform up or down the 2-1/2" shank and lock it in place with the included dual pins to match whatever you’re towing.
This hitch is made from tough 6061 T6 billet aluminum that’s both strong and lightweight. The 2-5/16" stainless steel ball handles up to 18,500 lbs gross towing weight while the 2" ball is rated for 10,000 lbs, with a maximum tongue weight of 2,000 lbs. The solid block design gives you dependable strength for big jobs without extra bulk.
When you’re done towing, just remove the dual locking pins and flip the platform under the shank. The stowable design keeps the balls tucked away underneath your vehicle so they’re out of the way and protected. It’s a simple way to keep your setup neat without removing the hitch every time.
Security comes built in with this setup. The locking pin set secures both the shank to your hitch receiver and the adjustable platform to the shank. Everything is keyed alike for convenience, and four keys come included. Once it’s locked up, your hitch stays put until you decide otherwise.

Hello neighbor, Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our Weigh Safe two ball mount with a built-in tongue scale with a two and a half by two and a half inch shank and a max drop of 10 inches and a max rise of 11. Now folks, this ball mount is included with, again, two balls, a 2 and 5/16 rated at 18,500 pounds, and a two inch diameter ball rated at 10,000 pound capacity. Now folks, this does give you what's called your tongue weight, so it's a very nice feature here, you have a built in scale and you would basically put your coupler on and you'd read the tongue weight scale and then you would adjust your load as needed to help balance your trailer, which is gonna promote safe towing, let you know if your load needs to be adjusted, and those kind of things. And then you can provide a measurement every time you couple to any trailer out there. So very nice, it's efficient, it is hassle free, it lets you tow trailers of different heights, having a nice 10 inch drop or 11 inch rise.
And this particular one comes with the included locking dual pin here and a hitch pin lock and that is keyed alike. So you get four individual keys. They are a tubular style key. That means they're really easy to use and they're a lot harder to pick than most standard locks that are out there. So simply put that in there, unlock it, that'll pop off.
And as far as changing the height or changing the ball, same thing. You wanna put the key in, unlock it, remove that dual pin here. And then from here, if you want to go up or down for the rise or drop, you could simply go up or down. You could invert the shank here for a rise and you could put it in like that. Now let's say you want to switch to a 2 and 5/16 ball to a two inch.
Well, inside here you've got a little ring kind of thing there on a pin. Once you get that, you simply pull that out, that's gonna come right out and you're gonna insert the ball, the other one right into its place and you're gonna put that pin right back into place and secure it just by simply pushing it in place. It's got a spot that's milled out here in the aluminum housing to put that ring back down. And then from there you'd simply put it back on your shank, put your locking pin back in place and put your dust cover over it to keep dirt and debris and stuff out of the lock. Now I'm gonna leave that off for now just so you can kind of see it all there.
But again, that simple folks, the shank itself is all 6061 T6 billet aluminum and it's solid, so it's gonna have greater strength, but be lightweight. The housing here is a solid piece of aluminum as well. The balls are stainless steel so you don't have to worry about rust or corrosion on any of the components here. So very nice kit. I'm very impressed with it. Again, you have lots of drop and rise to be able to use. Now some dimensions I wanna go over from the hitch pin holes to the center of the ball. From the closest one to the center of the ball, I got eight and three quarter inches. And from the farthest one away to center of the ball, I got 9 and 5/8 inches. Well folks, I think that's gonna wrap it up. Just a quick look at our Weigh Safe, two ball ball mount for a two and a half by two and a half inch hitch with the built-in scale. I'm Steven. Thanks so much for your time folks. Thanks for watching and as always, stay safe while you're towing.

Great product for being able too adjust the right height for those that have multiple trailers.
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.
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!
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.
The weight scale is not registering the tongue weight. It stays on zero.
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 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 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'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.
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 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.
Beautiful piece of equipment
Very prompt delivery
This hitch is very well made and will work great for the two trailer that I have that vary in height by 5"
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.
