Features to know about
Checks Tongue Weight Instantly: Built-In Scale That Reads As You Hitch
Balancing a trailer shouldn’t feel like guesswork. The Weigh Safe hitch shows your tongue weight the moment you hook up. The built-in gauge in the ball mount platform automatically measures load pressure—no separate scale or weigh station needed. It’s an easy way to confirm safe distribution before you hit the road, taking the hassle out of setup every time.
Adapts To Different Trailers: 6" Drop, 7" Rise, and Two Hitch Balls
If you haul more than one type of trailer, this adjustable mount keeps up. The shank fits 2" x 2" receivers and lets you move the platform up or down in 1" increments for a maximum 6" drop or 7" rise. It comes with a 2" ball rated for 10,000 lbs and a 2-5/16" ball rated for 12,500 lbs, so switching between coupler sizes is quick and simple with the locking dual pins.
Built To Last: 6061 T6 Billet Aluminum And Stainless Steel Balls
You can feel how solid this thing is from the first time you pick it up. The shank and platform are made from tough 6061 T6 billet aluminum that stays strong without extra weight, and the stainless steel hitch balls fight corrosion from road salt and grime. Everything is SAE J684 certified and VESC Regulations V-5 compliant for dependable towing strength.
Stows Out Of The Way: Flip-Under Design For Clean Storage
When you’re done towing, there’s no need to pull the hitch off the truck. Just remove the locking dual pins, flip the ball mount platform to the backside of the shank, reinsert the pins, and it tucks neatly under your vehicle. It keeps shins safe and your setup clean while staying ready for the next haul.
Secures Your Setup: Keyed-Alike Locking Pins
Every part stays where it should during use or storage. The included locking pin set deters theft by securing both the shank in the receiver and the platform on the shank—all keyed alike with four keys included. It’s a small detail that adds real peace of mind when you’re leaving your hitch in place between trips.

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.

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.

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.

Not made in America anymore, but assuming the scales are correct its an invaluable tool to make sure you are within payload when towing.

view full answer... - Can Weigh Safe Hitch be Used in Rise Position and the Scale Still Work?Hey Stu, thanks for reaching out! The Weigh Safe Hitch # WS96ZR can definitely be used in the rise position, and the scale will still work in that orientation as well, so you'll be good to go! What are you planning on towing?
view full answer... - Weigh Safe 6" Drop Ball Mount WS96ZR - Is The Ball Made Of Aluminum?Hello Bill; no, it is not. The shank portion of the Weigh Safe 6" Drop Ball Mount # WS96ZR is aluminum, but the ball itself is made of stainless steel.
view full answer... - Is the Weigh Safe Hitch WS96ZR the Newer 2.0 Version?Yes, it is Ron! The Weigh Safe Hitch w/ Built-In Scale for 2" Hitch item # WS96ZR, you were looking at is part of the Weigh Safe 2.0 line. It has the new glycerin-filled gauge, the rounded corners, and the redesigned slide. What kind of trailer are you pulling?
view full answer... - Can the etrailer Anti-Rattle Collar Be Used W/ the Weigh Safe Hitch Hey Kevin, yes you can absolutely use anti-rattle collar like the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitch Receivers # e38FV with your Weigh Safe Hitch w/ Built-In Scale for 2" Hitch # WS96ZR. The anti-rattle feature won't impact the built-in scale since the collar will be at the receiver, and not near the scale. If there is anything else you need help with please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!
view full answer... - Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for 2021 Tiffin PhaetonHey Matt, I recommend the Weigh Safe adjustable ball mount part # WS96ZR for your 2021 Tiffin towing an open trailer. Having flexibility to have various ball heights and a tongue weight scale to know what your tongue weight is will be very beneficial whereas I don't think you'd notice much cushioning due to length of the Tiffin.
