Easily stow the ball and mounting platform on this heavy-duty, dual-ball ball mount beneath your hitch for a sleek look when you are done towing. Tow up to 7,500 lbs with the 2" ball or 10,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball.
Features:
Specs:
Note: To avoid the Tow & Stow hitting steep driveways or curbs, we recommend at least 11" of clearance between the ground and the lowest point of the drop hitch, as seen above.
The B&W Tow & Stow adjustable ball mount lets you tow a variety of trailers with different tongue heights. Having both a 2" ball and a 2-5/16" ball allows for even more versatility, making this the ultimate go-to ball mount if you own multiple trailers.
To switch the hitch ball, simply remove the pin holding the balls in place and rotate the entire block that the balls are mounted on until the ball you want to use is on top. Then replace the pin to secure the block in place.
Adjusting the height of the ball is just as easy. Remove the pins holding the ball mount platform in place and slide the platform up or down along the shank to the desired position. Once you have found the correct height, reinsert the pins and replace the clips.
When you're not towing, you can flip the ball mount platform around and stow it beneath your hitch so that you won't bang your shins. Just remove the pins to slide the ball platform down along the channel and up the back side so that the hitch balls face towards your vehicle. Then replace the pins.
The Tow & Stow ball mount features a channel that runs along both sides of the shank. This channel not only allows you to slide the ball mount platform up and down to adjust the ball height, but it also prevents removal of the platform when the ball mount is installed, which will help prevent theft of your trailer.
A slot is cut into the adjustment channel near the top of the shank. To remove the ball mount platform from the shank you will need to remove the entire ball mount from your hitch. Then remove the pins that hold the platform in place. Flip the platform around to the stowed position on the rear of the shank, and then slide it up until the center pin lines up with the slot in the shank. Pull the platform out towards the rear of the shank until the pin pops out of the adjustment channel.
When the Tow & Stow is secured in your hitch receiver, you will not be able to remove the ball mount platform. This is because the slot in the shank is positioned in such a way that the collar on your hitch will block the pin on the platform from being able to leave the channel. Even if the pins holding the ball mount platform in place are removed, the platform will still be confined to this channel. So, as long as a hitch lock is used to secure the entire ball mount in your hitch receiver, and a coupler lock is used to prevent your trailer's coupler from being disengaged from the ball, your trailer will be secure.

Today we'll be reviewing part number BWTS10033C. This is the B And W Tow and Stow two-ball-mount for 2-inch by two-inch trailer hitches. Rated at ten-thousand pounds, this ball mount with built-in hitch balls is going to let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank simply slides into the receiver tube of the hitch. It does have two different hitch pin hole locations for your convenience. We'll slide that in there.
We're going to be using the rear pin hole. We'll slide it in there and line up our pin holes, and then we can install the hitch pin and clip, or hitch pin and lock. Those items are sold separately. You can refer to the ball mounts product page under "related items," to view those, or go to our web site and type in part number Pc3. That will refer you to this 5/8-inch pin that comes with the clip that I'm using today.
Once that's installed, then we have the hitch balls that are going to provide good connection points for your trailer coupler. One of the neat features about this system is that it actually has a stowable design. That's going to allow us to store the ball and mounting platform underneath the vehicle. We'll pull the two pins. Before we do that, we'll need to make sure that the hitch ball is in this position. Then we can pull the other pin, rotate it under, and reinstall the pins to secure it in that stowed position.
We've reinstalled the clips on the other side, to make sure it's fully secure. This is going to give us that nice, flush look that we're looking for at the back of our vehicle. It's also going to increase the amount of safety that we have, as we maneuver around the rear of our tow vehicle. To bring our ball mount back out, we can just remove those pins, allow it to pivot, and then choose our mounting location, reinstall the pins, and secure it by installing the clips on the other side. This is adjustable, so we can accommodate the different heights that some different trailers may provide us with, and we can also use the same vehicle. That's one of the great features about having the adjustable height.
That allows us to slide the ball mount platform up and down the shank, and then just secure it in place when we find the application we need for our towing needs. We just install those two pins and secure it with the clips. This has duel process chrome plating on the shank and the hitch balls. It's going to provide excellent rest resistance. It also has stainless steel pins that are going to create sturdy restorative connection points. This entire system is made from a durable steel construction with high yield tubing that's going to offer superior strength. Once again, it is designed to work with two-inch by two-inch trailer hitch receivers. We do have two different sized hitch balls. To rotate between those two, we just remove the pin, and then we can rotate it as needed. We have the two-inch ball that's going to provide us with 7500 pounds of gross towing weight, and we have the 2-5/16-inch ball that's going to provide us with ten-thousand pounds of gross towing weight. Once we have those set, we just reinsert the pin into the hole that's closest to the ball, and secure it with the clip. A couple measurements to go over real quick, if we measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball, and right now I am at that furtherest pin hole, it's going to give us a measurement of about 10-1/2 inches. If we do that same measurement from the pin hole that's closest to the mounting block, that measurement decreases to 9-1/4 of an inch. If I measure the distance from the center of the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the pin holes in the mounting block, again, our furtherest pin hole is going to give us a measurement of about five inches. The closer pin hole is going to measure 3-3/4 of an inch. With it installed in the lowest position, if I measure from the inside top edge of the receiver tube to the ball platform, it's going to give us a maximum drop of 3 inches. We can rotate this over to the rise position, and if I do that same measurement, it's going to provide us with a maximum rise of 3-1/2 inches. That's going to complete today's review of part number BWTS10033C. This is the B and W Tow and Stow two-ball mount rated at ten-thousand pounds. .
