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. .

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.Excellent make sure you order the anti rattle with it. I used 2 on my Ford F-150 worked perfect
I love it, tucks up out of the way when not in use.
I use it to pull my 30 ft travel trailer or my atv trailer. Need to keep it greased up or the pond get a little hard to pull out sometimes
The last trailer hitch you’ll ever need....but be sure to bolt it on. The first one I ordered was stolen so I ordered another & bolted it on
Delivered as promised. This is my 5 tow & stow hitch and all are working properly.
This is the Third hitch I have purchased for B&W over the last ten years , all of them are still working hard with no problems. I will buy another next time I need one. Thanks for making an excellent product I can depend on .
Got my order on the day it was supposed to arrive and very happy with the hitch
Product was delivered very timely and was everything that I expected.
Just what I needed. Fast service!
This ball mount is extremely heavy duty. I had a stock class IV hitch and aftermarket ball mount on my Ram 3500 SRW and it was bending towing a 14000 lb dump trailer. I upgraded to a class V hitch and this mount and it's working great. I have 6 trailers that I pull with gooseneck, 5th wheel and ball hitches. The only 1 that uses 1 7/8" ball is a little 5x8 utility trailer that I'm converting to 2" so I got the 2 ball instead of the 3. When turned sideways it works as a step to get into the truck but only if the tailgate is up. It doesn't stick out far enough when the tailgate is open.
The reason for 1 less star is the documentation; you need more information to make the best choice. I originally ordered a different PN and it hung way too low bc is mounted under the existing hitch. To remove the stock hitch, you also remove the integrated mounting brackets for the bumper. I ordered a PN for a truck without a hitch and cut off the receiver tube with a torch. Also, I upgraded the 3 1/2" exhaust to 4" and now at idle the exhaust rattles on the much larger frame of the class V but a slight modification in planned to take care of that. Installation was fairly straighforward once I removed the original receiver tube.
I purchased this hitch for my 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 which has the multiple tailgate. The hitch was in the stow position but still damaged my tailgate when I had the tailgate fully down and used the step feature. it bent the metal and scratched the paint. So please be aware this hitch is not recommended for the 2024 GMC sierra 3500 with multiple tailgate.
Well built product! Excellent construction, durable, functional, will last a long time for sure! Best hitch I have ever owned. Moreover, etrailer sent this to me faster than I could have expected, took only 3 days. Outstaning service, great associates throughout at etrailer! Highly recommend buying this hitch through them if you want it fast and at a superb price!
My hitch arrived on time and packaged up perfectly I was notified along the way so I knew when it would be arriving. Great quality American made product. Looks almost too nice to be a trailer hitch you can tell the company put some time into the design and manufacturing of this hitch. Simple and easy to stow I probably won’t need to buy another hitch for a long long time but if I did it would be another BW hands down
Convenient. One thing bothers me about this hitch, and that’s the noise. It’s very noisy and rattles. I bought anti rattle clamp and the rubber silencers but still makes noise. Also it always looks pointing inward toward the truck, it always catches my attention when I do a walk around.
seems to be well built, haven't used it yet. Thought I would be pulling a pontoon trailer, but it fell through and have never used the tow and stow ball mount.
I love this hitch. With a locking pin, it stays on my truck all the time. Here’s why:
Height adjustment. This truck was tall when I bought it, so I needed the drop for my trailers to ride level.
3 balls. We have 3 trailers of different sizes and weights, so all 3 balls get used.
And a step! Even when not towing, I use this step to access the bed all the time.
Fits my 3” receiver without an adapter.
Spend the money and you will have no regrets down the road.
This hitch is great, looks sharp, and is very rugged. Only wish was that with my gmc that is equipped with the step fold down gate, i had hoped when the hitch was in the hide away mode(folded up under) that the tailgate would have cleared the hitch, it did not. I dont think it is possible due to thw gate design, but its close.
Looks great! Very beefy hitch has good weight to it. Receiver pin lines up perfectly and easily clears MultiPro by 3/4" when stowed. Fast shipping with etrailer.com to top it off.
Was shipped on time.B&W hitch was fine just missing one pin clip.Box had several holes where pin clip could have fallen out. Looks like it had a rough trip.
Excellent heavy duty hitch if you need the ability to two different height trailers and different hitch sizes. It’s really nicely built, looks great. If I didn’t need to accommodate different size hitches I might go a different route because that ball on the bottom side of the hitch hangs fairly low. I did need that so it’s perfect for my needs. Easy to adjust for height and the ball switch is just as slick. I would buy it again.
