Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at the B&W heavy duty ball mount. Now, this ball mount inserts into your 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" receiver hitch on your vehicle, and it provides a connection point for a hitch ball. That way, you can connect or hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle.Now, the shank slides into the vehicle's hitch receiver. Ball platform is ready to install your hitch ball. Hitch balls are sold separately. If you're in need of one, you can find it at etrailer.com.
The ball hole diameter on this unit measures 1 1/4", so make sure that you don't exceed that measurement when it comes to the diameter of the shank on your hitch ball.This unit features a gross towing weight capacity of 16,000 pounds, and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 1600 pounds. You can use this in either the drop or rise positions. When it's in the rise position, from the inside top edge of the receiver tube of your hitch, straight up to the top of the ball platform; that up and down measurement is 6". So, it provides you with a 6" rise, and it also provides you with a 6" drop.Drop and rise are great, because that's going to help ensure level towing. To determine the amount of drop or rise you need for your vehicle, what you need to do is measure your vehicle's hitch height, which is from the ground when you're parked on a level surface, to the inside top edge of the receiver tube of your hitch.
And then, measure your coupler height. So, from the ground on a level surface to the bottom of the coupler with the trailer level. Subtract those measurements, and that should give you the amount of drop or rise that you need for your vehicle. But both drop and rise are available with this unit to ensure level towing.It's made from a sturdy steel construction. It does have a nice hollow shank design on it.
It's coated with corrosion resistant black powder coating. And, when you insert this into the hitch of your vehicle, you will need to secure it with a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock. Those items are sold separately, and available at etrailer.com. The pin holes on this unit will accept the standard 5/8" diameter pin.A few measurements I want to go over with real quick. I took a measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole, got a measurement of 10 7/8".
I measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest point of the support, which is right here. That measurement's important, because when you're using this in the rise position, you want to make sure you have enough clearance at the back of your vehicle to where this doesn't interfere. Now, you will notice that this is slanted, so the measurement I give you will increase the higher up you go here. But, from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest point of support is 3 3/8".Again, it provides a 6" rise and a 6" drop. The platform width, that's this area right here, edge to edge measures 3" wide. The thickness is 1". The product is made in the U.S.A, and it's covered with a limited lifetime warranty.That's going to do it for today's look at the B&W heavy duty ball mount for 2 1/2" hitches.
