• Recommended 3 Inch Lunette Ring Over 2-1/2 Inch Alternative
  
• The standard size lunette ring is 3 inches like the Demco Lunette Ring - Adjustable Channel Mount - 3" Diameter - Black - 25,000 lbs # DM09557-81. The 2-1/2 inch rings will not fit in the adjustable channel mounts where the vast majority of the 3 inch rings are designed for that style application. All of our pintle hooks like # 63014 are designed to work with the 3 inch lunette ring. There will be come movement, but there is not excessive slop. There needs to be some movement with this...

• Mounting Hole Spacing on B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate BWPMHD14005
  
• I went to our warehouse and measured the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # BWPMHD14005. I measured the center to center horizontal hole spacing at 3-3/8-inches so it will work well with Pintle Hook # 63014.

• Higher Rated 2 Inch Pintle Hook Mounting Plate
  
• Both parts # BWPMHD14005 and # BWPMHD14004 have a tongue weight capacity of 1,600 pounds. Part # 63014 has a tongue weight capacity of 4,000 pounds. So using that hook with either of those two mounts limits you to the lower 1,600 pound capacity. For a higher rated mount the Buyers Products, part # 337PM1012, has a tongue weight rating of 2,000 pounds.

• Recommended Pintle Hook And Mount With 8 - 10 Inch Rise
  
• If you have a 2 inch receiver opening on the vehicle you will be towing with the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate, part # BWPMHD14005 may work well for you. The mounting plate features 7 holes on each side of the plate that are spaced 1-3/4 inches center to center and the space between the two rows of mounting holes are spaced 3-3/8 inches center to center. The weight capacity for this mount is 16,000 lbs. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the mounting plate is 12-1/8...

• Will a Pintle Hitch Fit Weld-On Nose Plate 337TNP716625750
  
• Plate # 337TNP716625750 is going to be larger than what pintle hook # 63014 requires. The pintle hook is usually on the vehicle side so the mounts for it all have regular shanks that fit a hitch receiver. You want something like part # 63057. The nose plate would be used on the trailer side to attach a lunette ring such as # 63023. The bolt holes are 4-1/2 inches apart.

I pulled the product from the warehouse and the hook measures approximately 1-1/2 inches or 39 mm in diameter and the jaw depth is approximately 1-7/8 inches or 46mm.

• What Will I Need To Flat Tow a Toyota RAV4 Behind a 2008 Volvo Semi Truck
  
• Assuming that your 2008 Volvo semi truck has a reinforced utility bumper, I recommend installing the Bolt-On Pintle Hook, # 63014. This hook has a gross tow rating of 20,000 pounds and can be directly bolted to the bumper. In order to tow your 2008 Toyota RAV4 you will need a few different items starting with the Blue Ox Allure Pintle Style Tow Bar, # BX7460P. This heavy-duty tow bar allows you to safely and securely tow a vehicle up to 10,000 pounds. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, #...

• Can A Lunette Ring Be Used with the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate
  
• The B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate part # BWPMHD14005 that you referenced will slide into a 2" receiver tube opening on the tow vehicle. This will then accept a pintle hook so that you can tow a trailer with a lunette ring, not the other way around. Unfortunately, we do not have a lunette ring for this mounting plate as again it is designed to be used with a pintle hook, not a lunette ring. If for some odd reason your trailer has a pintle hook and not a lunette ring then we would not have...

• Pintle Mount and Hitch for a 2015 Ford F-350 with a 3 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  
• I haven't heard of an OEM 3 inch hitch before. Not to say that it isn't possible but I have only seen aftermarket 3 inch hitches. Traditionally, Ford has used a 2-1/2 inch hitch. Just to be clear, it is the width of the receiver opening, not the overall width of the hitch receiver. So if it is a 3 inch hitch then we have one pintle option, # RP38186. It has a 25,000 pound capacity which is more than most configurations of the 2015 Ford F-350 according to the Ford website. Then you could...

• Can the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate be Used in Both the Rise and Drop Positions
  
• The B&W pintle hook mounting plate # BWPMHD14004 can be used in the rise or drop position and the capacity remains the same. It is rated for 16,000 pounds gross trailer weight. For a bolt-on pintle hook you can use # 63013 which is rated for 10,000 pounds so you would be limited to that 10,000 pounds. Use hardware # 43076 to bolt it to the mounting plate. For a higher capacity pintle hook use # 63014. It is rated for 20,000 pounds but you would be limited to the 16,000 pound capacity...

• Pintle Hook Mount and Pintle Hook Recommendation for Pulling a Military Trailer With a Chevy Tahoe
  
• The pintle hook mount that I would recommend for you is the Pintle Hook Mount, 12-1/2 inch Tall, 8K, part # 63058. This hook mount has an adjustable rise that will go up to a 12 inches.

• What is a Pintle Hitch
  
• A pintle hitch is primarily used in heavy duty towing situations. The hitch itself resembles a hook that can be closed around the lunette ring that is mounted on the trailer. Part # 63014 is a good example of a pintle hook. If you look at part # 63022, you can see what the lunette ring looks like. Combination pintles are available, like part # TR63042. This item can accommodate either a standard coupler or a lunette ring. The pintle/lunette combination is typically used on construction...

• The Bolt-On Pintle Hitch, # 63014, is made to be used with a 3 inch Lunette Ring like the # 63036.

• Will 20K Pintle Hook 63014 Bolt to B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate PMHD14005
  
• Yes, you can bolt pintle hook # 63014 to B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # BWPMHD14005. However, the capacity of the mounting plate is 16,000 pounds so that is the maximum capacity of this set up even though the pintle hook is rated higher. You always have to go by the lowest rated component.

• Does B and W Pintle Plate # BWPMHD14004 Fit Pintle Hook # 63014
  
• I looked up your order notes and it looks like you ordered the Pintle Hook # 63014 and the B and W Plate part # BWPMHD14004. These two parts are compatible with each and will work well for you. The mount has the lower capacity of 16k so that will be your overall capacity since you are limited by your lowest rated component as the overall capacity. If your hitch or vehicle has a lower capacity than that (most likely yes) then you'd have to go by whatever the lowest number is.

• Determining Towing Capacity when Using B and W Pintle Mounting Plate # BWPMHD14005
  
• With towing capacities you are always limited by the lowest rated component in your towing setup. Since the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # BWPMHD14005 has a 16,000 lb towing capacity and is lower than your flat bed capacity it would be the capacity you'd need to abide by between the two. You should also check the towing capacity of your truck and make sure not to exceed that figure either. We have the bolt on Pintle Hook part # 63014 too which has more capacity than you'd ever need...
