Strength, versatility and Convert-A-Ball quality combine in this bolt-on pintle hitch/ball mount combo. It includes 3 interchangeable, stainless steel hitch balls (GTW is 3,500 lbs to 10,000 lbs) and a pintle sleeve adapter (GTW is 25,000 lbs).
Features:
Specs:
To use the unit as a pintle hitch, simply slip the stainless steel pintle sleeve over the 1" diameter hitch ball shank. Once in place, the sleeve accepts the lunette ring on the trailer, and the handle comes over and locks in place to create a strong, reliable pintle hitch with a towing capacity of 25,000 lbs. Backed up by the security of a double-locking system, this pintle hook combo offers safety, versatility and performance for those towing with a lunette ring.
To use the unit as a ball hitch, simply slip any size Convert-A-Ball stainless steel hitch ball onto the ball shank after the pintle sleeve has been removed. As a ball hitch, the PH1 maintains its strong performance, with a towing capacity up to 10,000 lbs.
Step by Step
To Install Pintle Sleeve:
First, remove manual safety pin. Next, pull out silver knob on lower, left-hand side of unit while lifting up on handle - this will disengage the pintle lock. Place the pintle sleeve over the ball shank. Now that both locks have been unlatched, you can rotate handle to a position directly above the pintle sleeve. Release silver knob, and handle's spring-loaded lock will snap down on sleeve, automatically engaging. Re-insert safety pin for extra security, and you're set to go.
To Remove Pintle Sleeve:
Remove safety pin, pull out silver knob and lift pintle handle while rotating it 90 degrees to the side. The handle will automatically snap into place in "self-parked" position. Last, remove sleeve and re-insert safety pin.
To Install Hitch Ball:
Remove the manual safety pin, move pintle handle to "self-park" position and double-check that it is fully engaged. Note: Do not try to latch the handle when using a ball coupler because this will interfere with and possibly damage the ball mount and coupler.
After re-installing safety pin, choose appropriate ball size. Locate dimple on ball's side and push integrated pin completely through ball. Place ball on ball mount shank, line up pin with shank hole, and push pin back through. Coupler will completely cover ball during travel, ensuring that pin cannot work loose. To remove, simply reverse the process.
This Convert-A-Ball pintle hook combo is certified V-5 by the THMA and meets SAE standard J-847.

This is the most convenient hitch I’ve ever bought for mini dump trucks and other midweight trucks such as that it’s great for towing. It’s super convenient very easy to change. This is my fourth one already.
Meghan was very helpful, and I received my parts in two days with no freight charges! I will continue to purchase items from etrailer.com when ever possible. Thank you for the great service!
Neat and sturdy. No more flipping a three way hitch or looking for where you placed your 2 in vs 1 5/8" hitch.
mounted right on everything was included
price was good shipping right on time
no complaints
I am a big fan of this Convert-A-Ball set.
It is not easy to find anymore, and I found it easy to purchase through etrailer.
I know a lot of people no longer supply these because people use them incorrectly. I plan to purchase more of these, and hope that etrailer continues to provide them.
Thank you,

Some are 2 inch, 2 7/8 and pintle. This piece is larger and heavier duty than the picture shows. The picture doesn't do justice. It's a large solid piece of still you will be happy.
Great Product, Best PricePerfect pintle hitch combo, tired of having to switch out hitches, this is the ticket, bought one for my F-450, going to get another for my receiver, and sell all the other ones I have.
Very fast shipping on a well build pintle hitch. I will be attaching this to the back of my semi tractor and towing my jeep with me to the truck shop. Now I don't have to wait for a ride, I'll be bringing my own ride home with me.
Best EverThis is the best hitch system ever, before this I would have to change my hitch to haul something else with my F-450, now it's a snap. I'm planing on getting one to slide in my 2" reciever on my F-250, one set up does it ALL.
Wow! I was blown away with the quality with this hitch. I highly recommend this one if you haul anything with a pintle as it reduces the slack that normally occurs with a 2" ball mounted on a pintle.
Awesome Product still going strong after a year of abuse on a construction Site. This hitch is a beast and never lets me down. I have them on 3 trucks and they all came from etrailer.
etrailer has the best selection and service on the web!
Wasnt sure if this was gonna be made tuff enough.. WOW is it ever tuff enough! Solid from the smallest ball all the way to the pintle. Great product.

Works better than expected
I was looking for a fix to the problem of not being able to haul our small trailer behind our 1 to dump truck. The truck had a pintle hitch with a 2-5/16 ball on it and our small trailer has a 2" ball so a big pain to change it all the time. But now we have the convert-a ball pintle hitch combo. Problem solved. We can make the change in a snap with no tools needed.
Hitch fits great, looks great, and works great. Would definitely recommend.
The hitch works as designed. Changing out the balls sizes is easy. I wish there was a better way to secure the pin in the ball. The o-ring shrinks over time and can rattle out. I always remove the pin and ball when the trailer is disconnected.
I have used one of these for 2 years now
It’s very versatile the only combination pintle I know of that is rated for 25,000!

I have now bought one of these for each of my trucks. My oldest one is now 7 years old and still functions perfectly. I own about 6 of these
Convert-a-ball hitch is Boss! I bought my first one from a local retailer back in 2001, when it became time to replace it no one locally knew what I was talking about. After researching online I finally found it on etrailer's website reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who needs versatility and convenience this hitch does it all.
Excellent quality!!! Great Service!!!! Replaced Pintle hitch on F450 Dump truck to accommodate various trailer types.

Product is of the highest quality and the customer service is second to none!!! Thanks for follow-up.
If your looking for a hitch 4 in 1 with the highest lb per each ball, look no further, i looked for you. I know that those that own a tuck woth a bolt on hitch we usually only have 2 options, 2" ball and pital hook or a 2 5/16" ball and pital hook. But with 5 different trailers and one hitch that wont work. This is he best 4 in 1 set up around. The rating of lb per ball is the highest around. Made very very well. Changing a ball is a 5 second thing. Had it for over a year and used ir and abused it.. If your looking for one Buy it without thinking, wont find one cheaper or better, sorry.
I never write reviews, but this Convert-A-Ball hitch is absolutely AWESOME!
What a hassle it used to be for me always switching between a pintle and 2" Ball. Heavy lifting. Figuring out where to leave the removed hitch, which I usually just left on the ground next to where I park my truck (even in winter). I generally swap out the hitch every day to go between different trailers and this has been a LIFESAVER as I get older.
I almost bought one of the 'cool" brand hitches just to be 'cool', but I'm so HAPPY I happened across this hitch when looking to purchase.
I tell everyone in my business about this hitch!
Consistently reliable product. I have bought several and even my oldest ones still work perfectly (5 years). I would not hesitate to recommend them
My father has one of these and I liked how simple it converted from a pintle to a ball hitch so I decided to purchase one for myself. I found the same hitch on etrailer.com. I ordered and received the hitch just before a hunting trip. The shipping was fast. The hitch arrived all in one piece and worked flawlessly.
