Today we're going to be taking a look at the tow ready interchangeable hitch ball set with a 1 and 7/8 inch and 2 inch hitch ball. The hitch ball set is designed to accommodate towing multiple trailers with ease. It allows you to change to hitch ball size in just a few seconds without any tools. It's going to use the innovative quick release positive latch design that's very safe and secure. The hitch balls are designed to rotate which will assist in keeping the coupler from binding on the hitch ball. The unit is made from a steeled construction with a heat treated shank, really nice protective finish over the unit.
It's going to keep it safe from rust and corrosion. Again it does come with two hitch ball sizes. 1 and 7/8 inch and 2 inch. It's also going to come with your lock, washer, and nut for your installation. It's also going to feature your wrench flats here on the side which makes installation easier.
Now when it comes to the towing weight capacity, it's going to be 500 pounds. Gross towing weight capacity is 5,000 pounds. A few measurements that I want to go over with you real quick. The shank length is going to be 2 and 3/8 of an inch, shank diameter is 3/4 of an inch. The unit is designed for class 1 and class 2 trailer hitches. Very simple installation and every simple to switch between the hitch balls.
I like to use just a small coin. Chances are a lot of time you can just push down that latch and rotate it. If that doesn't work or that's tough to do, just take a coin, place it in, rotate. When this is up, that means that you can remove the ball from the post. Then you can take the other ball, place it on, push down and rotate.
That's all there is to it. On the inside of the ball there's going to be a small detent 00:01:45. That's that ring in there. When the ball's placed on the post and as this pushes down, it pushes out these areas right here, these little steel balls. Once that post is pushed down , those are locked into position and those engage that groove or that indention inside the hitch ball. That's the positive latch design. Again safe and secure, securely holds the hitch ball onto the post, really nice design. I just wanted to explain a little bit of how the unit works. Once that's down, you cannot remove the ball from the post. That's going to do it from today's look at the tow ready interchangeable hitch set with a 1 and 7/8 inch and 2 inch hitch ball.

This item arrived promptly and as described. Great to have the flexibility for two sizes of hitches. 707130
Very nice quality product and another benefit not many have understood or appreciated. I ride a motorcycle and pull a lightweight trailer. For months I have been looking for a long neck trailer ball until I found this with the help of etrailer's Carol, who determined that this would be the hitch ball that would allow me to get rid of my swivel hitch. As you know, swivel hitches allow motorcycles to lean without binding on the hitch ball. The long neck eliminates that need. Here is a picture of my trailer and here is a picture of my trailer tow bar and ball. The long neck of the hitch ball allows the coupler to pivot without binding therefore negating the need for a swivel hitch. Most hitch balls are short and the coupler binds. Removing the swivel hitch allows me to shorten the tow bar and eliminate needless rattle when rolling down the highway. Give it a shot. You wont regret it. I have had previous long neck (not long shank) trailer balls that were custom made with great success. This is the first commercially available long neck ball that works with motorcycle trailers eliminating the need for a swivel hitch. 671197

Very convenient and easy to change out. Thanks 478902
I don't have much time with this product so can't provide any info on how it holds up over time. The short time that I've had it, it works as advertised. I have two smaller trailers, a teardrop and a small utility trailer that I tow behind my Toyota Corolla. Swapping between the 2" and 1 7/8" takes less that 5 seconds. So far, works great. 451834

D H - 09/23/2018This multi-ball size system is the best system I have found for having multiple trailers with multiple ball size needs. It has never failed me so far 433140
Excellent service as always! 429709
Works great. Just what I needed. Have pulled my boat trailer, my fishing partner,s boat trailer and a neighbor's utility trailer without any problems. Thank you. I would recommend etrailer.com to anyone. 416650
My first switchable ball for my drag week car. My little trailer is 1 7/8 and rental U-haul trailers are 2", as is my large car hauler and old school camper. This makes it nice to be able to pull whatever I need around, even if it's just to get the big trailer in a small spot with the car. 209443
I love these trailer ball sets,they have ball bearings inside so ball rotates when turning and not the coupler turning on the ball.It has a coin slot for removing ball but i just push down and turn with my thumb.This is second set i purchased for my other car.Nice to have both sizes.I have two trailers with both sizes. 127993

Could not find this combination locally. Placed an online order late on a Saturday night and got a confirmation that it had been received and was being shipped. "It don't get no better than that." Product arrived arrived according to expectations and at a fair price. 44411
Works great IF..... This product works great IF you protect it from winter elements. Internals rust, and can fail if allowed to rust. 2782
