Today, we're going to review part number 19258. This is a 2-inch hitch ball with a 3/4 inch shank from Tow Ready. This is our hitch ball right here. You obviously get the hitch ball, lock washer and a nut. You also get this label which actually tells you your torque specifications of whatever you're going to install it onto. One thing I want to point out is when you install a hitch ball, every now and then you'll see the tag left on there.
Don't do that. Aside from looking tacky, this actually can crush over time and whole hitch ball can loosen up from the lock nut, so always take this off. You always want to install this in a ball mount with a 3/4 inch hole. There are bushings that you can fit in there with that, but this actually still gives it room to move around and potentially loosen up. Try to use the same matching hole as the hitch ball. This ball is ready to have 3,500 pounds and this is the diameter, that's 2 inches.
Always use a decoupler that requires a 2 inch ball. The 2 and 8th inch, this will pop off, so don't use it with that, it's a style coupler. Obviously not much to it. Has a chrome finish. Let's put it in a typical installation. In this case, we're using a light duty hitch, a class 1.
Typically, we're going to mount in an up position like this, or a raised position. Simply put your lock washer nut into place, run the nut down, and then tighten it up. Let's put it into our hitch of our car and we'll tighten it down. I'll show you a little trick in tightening these down. We're actually going to put our ball mount in sideways.
That way, we can get leverage on our tool to go down to the ground. We'll go ahead and snug it up with a regular ratchet and a 1 and 8th inch socket. We'll take our slack, then we're going to use a pipe wrench on these flats right here on the ball. Put your wrench on the flats right here. That way you won't mess up the finish on the ball itself. You'll notice that we also have our pipe wrench on the ground. We'll put our torque wrench on and finish torquing the nut. We're constantly pushing down, we won't have to worry about the ball mount sliding out. Take your pipe wrench off. Then, we'll put our ball mount in correctly. Now our ball is ready for service to pull a trailer. That will finish it for our review of our hitch ball with 2-inch diameter and a short shank ready for 3,500 pounds tongue weight. Part number 19258, from Tow Ready. .

Used it to tow a trailer from NY to NO and it worked well. 651966
etrailer.com ranks among the best online retailers I have dealt with. I rate it 4 stars only because 4.5 wasn't an option. The half-point deduction is not a penalty. It merely allows room for improvement, which might be the ability to cross reference the year, make and model of my 2015 motorhome on a Ford F-53 26,000 GVWR chassis and only be shown parts that are available for and fit my vehicle. Not having that, I almost ordered the anti-sway bar specified for the Ford F-53 chassis, before realizing it was only for 22,000 and 24,000 GVWR chassis. 650236
The short shank of this ball is great for an ATV going to off road because it give more ground clearance, so it’s less likely to hang in stumps or rocks in the forest. I use it with my LogRite ATV Arch, with my wood splitter, and for transporting maple water to my sugar house to produce maple syrup. 41297
The hitch was well made and relatively easy to install. I installed it on a 2016 Golf Sportwagen LE. I can confirm that as others have stated that I did NOT need to trim the bumper fascia (as the instructions said I would need to). I separated the black, lower part of the fascia from the top part before reinstalling the main fascia. I was then able to snap the lower part on after fitting it around the hitch chain loops. A couple of other notes: the LE has the rear cross traffic alert. The sensors are bolted on each side of the bumper. I thought with the additional thickness of the sensors that the bolts might not be long enough but they fit fine. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the torx screws in the wheel wells have very little clearance. I highly recommend getting a torx racquet set. I bought one at a hardware store for about $20 (Kobalt 24-Piece Standard (SAE) and Metric Mechanic's Tool Set with Hard Case). This makes the removal of those screws straight-forward. 421514

Everything i ordered was in great condition Packed neat n secure. Thank you very much! The website is Great The Customer Services are Excellent. Definitely Will Order Again in The Future! 727286
This has been serving me well for the past year. Works great. 725377
These guys are awesome. The service people called me when they saw I had ordered mismatched parts just to make sure that's what I needed. I hadn't realized the error and they helped me fix it. These folks really go out of their way. I have been using the hitch more than I realized that I would with a small 3x5 trailer I have used for furniture mulch mowers and light construction projects. Everything I ordered has worked flawlessly. 722501

Great 718908
I am always very happy with the quality and service at etrailer. I will purchase again! 717377
Perfect ! [Thumbs up] 715129
Customer Support was excellent. Products fit as good as factory and a whole lot less expensive. Installed in a couple of hours with a little help from a friend. The hitch is pretty beefy and I needed a little help holding in place. Other than that everything bolted right up. Nice heavy duty bolts and thick wafer washers to insure it won’t come lose. The hardest part was cutting the plastic factory shielding underneath around the hitch. Great product. 715370
I was so pleased and impressed with how simple it was to order and how fast it was shipped. Lol my husband said hunny you forgot to order the receiver. Thank you for your service. We'll be ordering again. 714917

Quality part. Easy install. 693233
Everything was great 691840
I have purchased equipment from etrailer three times, and each time the service, product, and speed of delivery was fantastic. On my last order a customer service representative noticed that I had accidentally ordered two of the same part and called me to ask if that was done by accident or on purpose. Amazing service!!! I will be a life long customer. 680866
etrailer was a great resource not only for prompt sales and delivery but for additional information on assembly and great customer service. I highly recommend them for your vehicle needs. 672052

Genuine Draw-Tite 2" ball with 3/4" diameter and 1.5" long shank. Fast shipping. Good prices. 664727
good price, excellent follow up, Fast s hipping 662654
This is an excellent small trailer hitch ball -- it fit perfectly in the bumper hole of my 2003 Ford Ranger. And, it was shipped very quickly and packed well. (I know these things get scratched up, but at least it starts out in perfect condition.) Also, I loved the tracking map -- I've never seen anything like this, and it's great. Thanks to all the team at etrailer.com! 661617
I purchased a trailer hitch / drawbar and ball for my Chevy impala. My neighbor told me about etrailer and he was right. They had everything I needed their prices were great. Installation turn out to be as I was informed when ordering and the shipping was a shock, didn’t expect it to arrive so fast. Customer service was excellent. 657246
Good Product. I am a guy that likes a challenge although this wasen't much of one.. easy instructions, straight forward application and tools this was a fun project. my best advice would be if you're putting together a project of sorts make sure you speak to a rep before you order, that way all the parts you order work well together.. 657131
Great product the only thing wrong that is wrong is the product is just a hair to wide. You just need to muscle it in place which isn’t a big deal. 651771
Works as one would think it should. 647302
We’ve used it quite a few times in this first year. It has worked perfectly 647119
Works great! 647091
Great product. Has not let me down. I love it because it was affordable and has been great for me to use with my little car. I’ve been pulling a 4’x8’ yard care trailer with this ball and my car for a year now and have never had a problem. I definitely recommend this to my friends. 644358
Put this on my 2015 Impreza worked great 643287
The survice was excellent. It was easy to find what i needed and easy to order. Staff help me out with my question and pointed me in the right direction. It shipped very fast and got to my front door within days of ordering and the packaging was great no mess or damage. 640767
Fit nicely with previously purchased it ems. 638653
The ordering process was exceptional, both sales contacts did a great job of assisting and ensuring delivery of the product on time, and actually ahead of schedule. 636744
This was such an awesome experience!!! My husband and I stumbled across etrailer.com when we searched online videos on how to install a hitch. We then purchased all the materials needed directly from the website. Neither of us know a whole lot about cars but were able to easily install the hitch and wiring by watching the video and the paper instructions sent with the products. The part of this experience I am MOST impressed by is when I got a call shortly after placing my online order to let me know that what I had originally purchased was not compatible with each other. She then continued to efficiently and successfully modify my order to all the right products needed and I didn’t have to do a thing! If that’s not great customer service then I don’t know what is!!! Without that phone call, I would have received incompatible products and been in a real pickle due to time constraints. THANK YOU SO MUCH ETRAILER! You guys rock! Because of you, I now have so much more confidence in doing self-maintenance on my car. 629383
I bought this to put on the back of my four wheeler. Getting the shank length correct was my biggest concern and it worked out great. The installation was really easy and it has been working great. No complaints at all. Would buy again. 625386
Everything installed well on my car. Only problem I am having is that the ball on my hitch is rusting like crazy; more than expected after 1 year of use hauling a light weight Malone kayak trailer. 621543
The trailer ball is chrome plated steel. The metal-to-metal abrasion between the inside of the coupler and the ball will eventually wear the chrome plating away. A thin coat of grease on the trailer ball will keep the corrosion in check.
