Video Transcript for B and W Ball Mounts - Fixed Ball Mount - BWBMHD30012 Review
Today we'll be reviewing part number BWBMHD30012. This is the B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount with a 3 inch rise or a 4 inch drop, it's rated at 16,000 pounds. It's ball mount is going to let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank will slide into your vehicle's hitch receiver and the ball platform is going to provide a good mounting point for your hitch ball which is sold separately. This is made from a sturdy steel construction. You can see here at the rear that we have a solid shank, there's hollow shank or cut out back here. This is a solid sturdy steel piece. It is corrosion resistant and it's coated in a high gloss black powder coated finish. Now both the drop and the rise position are available to ensure level towing and a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock is require and sold separately.
You can refer to the Ball Mount's product page and look underneath the related products on the right hand side of your screen to view this . to view this item. This ball mount is made in the USA and is designed to fit a 2 inch by 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. It has a gross towing weight of 16,000 pounds with a max towing weight of 16,000. Now I'm going to measure from the center of our hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole and we're going to get a measurement of 9 and 5/8 of an inch. Now this ball mount provides a rise of 3 inches and a drop of 4 inches. We'll go ahead and show that.
The drop is measured from the inside top edge of the receiver tube, it's also equivalent to the hut of the shank to the top of the ball platform. I'll place the ruler on here and if you can picture an imaginary line coming off the top of the shank, it's going to hit at about the 4 inch mark, giving us the 4 inch drop. Now we rotate this to the rise position and we'll take that same measurement from the shank to the top of the ball platform and we're going to get a rise of about 3 inches. Our shank from the end to the top edge has a measurement of 6 inches. This ball mount does have an inch and a quarter ball hole diameter. In selecting your ball accessories you want to make sure that it doesn't exceed that measurement and again, this has a gross towing weight of 16,000 pounds.
I'll go ahead and slide it into the receiver hitch just to show you how to install. All you need to do is slide the shank of your ball mount into the opening of the hitch, line up your pin holes and then insert your pin and clip. Just like that, you're all loaded up and you're set to go. Now to flip it over to the rise position, you'd remove the pin and clip, flip it over and reinsert it and install it just the way I showed you in the drop position. That will compete today's review of part number BWBMHD30012. The B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount with a 3 inch rise or a 4 inch drop. .

I had to flip this upside down and put a hitch ball on this to get it to work with my Dodge Journey and my camper. It's held up without issue for a half-dozen camper pulls. I wish the paint hadn't already started flaking off at the receiver end, but that's to be expected when you connect metal to metal. The other parts of this haven't started flaking yet after a year so hopefully it continues to hold up.

ball mount had a nice coating on it before shipping. it was put loose in the huge receiver box. bouncing around loose it punched a few holes in the box and got a number of chips from hitting the receiver. it made the same damage to the receiver as well.
this is too bad. I went with etrailer due to great selection and install info. people shipping just don't seem to care about the product. it would have taken veary little to package this so it would not damage other items, but no effort was made to ensure shipping would not cause damage.

Perfect size for my application thanks to the etrailer website recommendation.
by: Rhonda 04/06/2023
Was needing a 7-8 inch ride for my camper that could sustain a GVW of at least 5000 lbs. Let me say, it’s a hard to find item. Thankfully I called Etraer and with some research, found me the perfect ball mount. It’s heavy duty for a reasonable price.
by: David09/30/2019
Thanks etrailer,
Thanks for the help and support.
This 16,000 lb hitch and 30,000 lb ball keep me legal in the weigh stations. Pulling 800 mile runs through the mountains safe and sound.
by: Jon01/27/2023
I have used B&W hitches for many years and I've been very happy with the quality of their products. etrailer makes it easy to shop for these hitches since the B&W site is terrible. I was able to find the correct size and all dimensions were listed clearly. Thanks again!

See what our Experts say about this B and W Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Ball Mount for 3 inch Trailer Hitch Similar to B and W BWBMHD30012 We have ball mounts similar to the B and W part # BWBMHD30012 that you referenced that fit a 3 inch hitch like the Buyers Products part # BP27FR which has a 2-1/2 inch rise and 4 inch drop.
view full answer... - 2 Inch Hitch Ball Recommendation for B&W 16K Heavy-Duty Ball MountThe B&W ball mount # BWBMHD30012 requires a ball with a 1-1/4 inch diameter shank. Ball # BWTS10051 does indeed have a 1-1/4 inch shank so it can be inserted in the ball mount. However it was designed as a replacement for a pintle/ball combo hitch and would only be rated for 10,000 pounds in that application. it also hasn't been tested in a regular ball mount. For a regular hitch ball I recommend # A-90. It is rated for 10,000 pounds also. The selection of 2 inch diameter balls with 1-1/4...
view full answer... - USA Made Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2008 Chrysler Town and CountryWe have really great trailer hitch options for your 2008 Chrysler Town and Country like the etrailer # e98854 which is our best fitting and highest capacity option for your vehicle but B and W only makes hitches for larger trucks at this time and they do not have an option for your vehicle. The etrailer hitch is made in the USA though like B and W hitches. For trailer wiring the easiest to install and most reliable option is the part # 118552 which is a custom fit option as well. We...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount Height for Ford F-150In order to find the correct rise/drop in a ball mount you'll need to measure the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver on the truck and then subtract the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler while level. The difference will be the rise/drop you need to look for in a ball mount. If you want to take rear end sag into the equation you can do so as well but be careful not to overestimate this. The B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount part # BWBMHD30012...

Both of these trailer hitch receiver's have a 1600lb maximum tongue weight rating, and 16000lb maximum trailer weight rating, but you will want to check the owner's manual of your K3500...
