Well built and really works well and smooths things out when towing with a pintle hitch and surge brakes.

This is my second pintle mount from Conver-A-Ball I bent the first one when my pintle hook bound on the ring of my trailer. The first lasted for many years, and hopefully this replacement will too.

by: Carlo D 02/18/2016

The website is very easy to use and very descriptive of all the products. The shipment was super fast, the mount arrived at my door three days after purchase. The cushion feature of the mount makes for very gentle stops with my 16' enclosed trailer and my dump trailer. Excellent product and excellent service all around.

Thanks George!

I will definitely use this site again for future purchases...

slaps around in my receiver quite a bit, I hope it works better with a trailer attached.

This was exactly what I needed and shipping was fast

Good product and was everything I dreamed it would be. Couldn't be be more happy I'm towing stuff all over the place.

by: Thomas 08/18/2020

Seems to be adequate. Gave it a lower grade because it does not have a permanent marking/stamp listing weight limit, just a sticker, which will eventually fall off...

I absolutely love this hitch!!! I regularly tow 9-10,000lbs total load (tractor and trailer). Pintle are great but noisy and tend to slam and transfer that shock to the truck. I ran a ball style of this hitch years ago and noticed a difference with that so figured I would give this a shot. I don't notice or feel any more slamming while coming to a stop or taking off! What a major comfort improvement over the rigid hitch. My only complaint, seeing as I live in New England with salty roads is that the actual sliding block inside the hitch is bare metal. It's rusting up and froze my pin inside it. Got the pin out with a air hammer and patience but now am going to soak it down. I've only owned this for a year and that's the only complaint I have

Not only was the online ordering extremely easy, but etrailer reps provided outstanding follow up sending me updates on the status of my order. I received a message thanking me and a projected shipping date. Then a very rare thing occurred...they not only shipped it earlier than initially thought but they took it upon themselves to upgrade my delivery option at no cost to me! My order arrived in perfect shape, exactly what I ordered, and 5 days early. You simply do not see that kind of service anymore. Consider me a very happy customer who will always look to etrailer first on future orders! Many thanks!

Great hitch, very nicely built. Fast shipping.

Your service was excellent and the products arrived at the time stated on the order. Thanks for your help in expediting my order. Everything was exactly what I needed.

by: Chris 02/01/2025

Can't give a full review haven't tested it so I don't know how well I actually like it, but it looks really nice the welding on the back looks flawless! Only did four stars because I haven't tested the cushioning part yet.

good product and as always etrailer shipped it out quickly.

Do you have a question about this Pintle Hitch?

Is it Safe to Flip the 10 Hole Cushioned Pintle Mounting Bar and Use The Top Set Of Holes To Tow
Yes, it is okay to use the 10 hole Cushioned Pintle Mounting Bar, part number AMPC3, in the rise position and use the top four holes to mount your ring, as long as you stay within the weight rating of the ring, mounting bar, hitch and towing vehicle, whichever is the lowest capacity.

Mounting Plate Available For a Pintle Hook Which Can Be Used In The Rise Position

What is Needed for a Pintle Hook for a Ford F-250 Super Duty to Tow a Trailer Level
You will want a pintle hitch or any ball mount on a vehicle at the appropriate height to tow the trailer level. To do this you will need to park the vehicle and trailer on level ground and take some measurements. I have included a link to an FAQ article that will help.

Pintle and Hitch Ball Combo Hook Recommendation
The best option we have is the part # PH1 this is a combination pintle hook with all three common hitch ball sizes. 1-7/8, 2 and 2-5/16 inch. The pintle section has a 25k capacity but the balls have a considerable lower capacity at 10k for the two larger ball sizes and 3,500 for the smallest. You would also need the adjustable mounting plate # AMPC3.
