Note:
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.

For the past year, the B&W Tow and Stow trailer hitch has worked great, and has the strength and durability to haul our equipment through the freeways and mountains of the California roadways with ease. I tow a trailer rig for pressure washing that consist of a 300-gal water tank, heater, and other accessories, for a total max weight of about 4,500lbs. The adjustable height feature is great and the dual ball features gives you more flexibility that will allow you to match up with several types of trailer configurations. A great investment for our business and I highly recommend it as a satisfied customer.
Great addition to my truck! It’s sturdy and heavy. There’s definitely quality in mind with this hitch!
I dont have a question, but I do have some input that I discovered after I ordered the BandW Tow and Stow hitch. My original concern was that the hitchs ball head swing arm as BandW calls it could be removed from the shank. There is a review from another customer that said the hitchs ball head could not be removed, so I ordered it based off of their observation. I saw the experts answer here: http://www.etrailer.com/question-112214.html, and it also eased some of my fears about the hitch being stolen. Once I received the hitch I could tell that theft is not a concern. In the pamphlet that accompanied the hitch there is an advertisement for a Receiver Lock, which as we know, will lock the shank of the hitch to the receiver. However, it goes on to say that as long as the pin is in the first shank hole when the hitch is locked, the swing arm cannot be removed. This is because there is a channel on the back of the hitch that allows the swing arm to be removed is blocked when the hitch is flush with the receiver hitch see the attached picture. To summarize, you dont have to worry about the swing arm ball head being removed. A simple receiver lock will keep the hitch safe.
The B&W ball mount adds some versitility to the whole hitch process. No longer will my wife complain about running into the hitch with her knees. The stow feature makes it easy to swing around to stow out of the way.
etrailer did a Great Job...! Even though I made a mistake on my order when placing it- (2'1/2 ball rather than 2") I noticed it about 3 hours later and called in and they corrrected it and it was shipped same day...! Excellent
I pull several trailers, recently adding a 20 ft enclosed to the list. Finally decided to get this adjustable hitch so I don’t have to carry different drops, ball size, etc. This hitch seems strong and well made. Haven’t hooked it to anything yet, but when I do, I’m sure it’s going to do exactly what I intended for it to do. etrailer has always given good service, along with quality products!
I originally order the same idea but in chrome, unfortunately manufacturer had it on back order. etrailer's staff stayed on top of the product and my order. When it became apparent it would take longer than anticipated, George J quickly identified an identical item but black and offered it as replacement. In calling etrailer to make the switch Carol took my request. Within a few days I had my hitch!! Thank you greatly for the outstanding customer support; something you do not find much anymore.
This hitch towed 6000 pounds over 500 miles with zero wear at any pin. Adjustability for height ideally compensates for load compression.
Really nice product. Well made. Great finish. Eliminates my need for 3 different receivers as well as the shin buster when I left them in. I didn’t need the 1-7/8” ball that many products offer with the triple ball and was pleased I could order only with the 2 and 2-5/16 ball. My boat trailer and my utility trailer are 2” but different drops and my car trailer is a 2-5/16”. Works great. Wish I had it years ago.
Good quality hitch and excellent service. I would highly recommend etrailer.
The Hitch came right on time and worked just fine. Took it to pick up my new trailer everyone thought it was a great hitch asked all about it, I didn't even point it out . Quality built pins are precision fit, ball swivels like a jewel, and the unit doesn't come apart its in one whole piece the pins just hold the placement up down or stowed away.
Excellent product, this is my second one to buy. I’ve had a B&w hitch on my 2011 gmc z71 for 6 years and bought one for my wife’s 2017 GMC Yukon. I’ve never had a problem with these hitches at all.
This B&W Hitch works awesome tows pike a champ! Received it ontime.
Brian - 04/29/2019The hitch is a beast and the fold away option is nice to stop knee breakage and theft. Installation 3 minutes...2 minutes to grease the pins. SS pins appreciated.
First, thanks for the fast shipping. Second, this hitch is just what i needed to tow my 24ft enclosed car hauler. It is stout weighing in at 26 pounds! I like that it folds back under the receiver when not in use.
I recently received this B&W Tow & Stow hitch, and it's one of the highest quality mechanical devices of this type I've ever seen. The components are all precision machined, welded and painted, and it fits and functions flawlessly. Also, I was quite impressed with the OEM packaging that fully protected it during shipment while being almost 100% recyclable. I needed a hitch that would work well with the EcoHitch hidden front bumper mount that I recently installed in my 2019 F250 to move our travel trailer out of and back into its tight parking space beside our garage, and this B&W unit fits perfectly with approximately 3/8” clearance from the front bumper face when installed. But I also wanted a hitch that would work (with a reducer) in the rear 2.5" receiver of my truck whenever I need to rent a small utility trailer. This adjustable hitch will definitely work great for these two jobs, as well as with the rear 2" receiver of our Jeep if I need to use it for similar duties at any time.
USA built, super solid construction, easily adjustable. This is the best hitch on the market in my opinion and well worth the cost. For reference, I tow with a 2014 Tundra that is lifted. The back end is 1" higher than stock and with the 5" drop/5.5" rise I've got plenty of adjustability.
Great hitch. solid and heavy duty. Adjusts easily and works great. Couldn’t ask for more, except maybe a lower price. Made in America which was important to me
Outstanding quality, easy to use, and made in the USA. A great product!
'Haven't towed with it yet, but can tell it has tight tolerances and will be durable. Watch your fingers when switching from tow to stow!
I LOVE this hitch. It makes my life noticeably easier and my shins love it as well. ONE YEAR OUT> This hitch is SOLID, easy to use and so far appears to be very well made. My only comment and not worth removing a star is the holes in the receiver do not align perfectly with my truck. A little wiggle and in the pin go's so it is all good.
Exactly what I wanted, exactly what I was expecting. Heavy duty, versatile and it even looks really good!
Looked at many adjustable hitches, came down to what made sense, not price. I had seen two on other trucks, looked custom made, not an add on, good vibes. Shopped suppliers, as usual, went back to “etrailer”, of course. Good purchase through a reputable company! Not surprised when it arrived. Use for three different bumper pull trailer types.
Stanley - 10/29/2019Just received my order; quality looks great and very strong. I really like that this is American made using American steel. I read excellent reviews on this model and had considered an aluminum adjustable ball mount before purchasing this one. I had read reviews on the aluminum models that they become loose and sloppy over time. Not so with these steel ones. Can't wait to use it. Love the versatility that this unit offers. I can use it with all my different trailers and also a variety of trucks. Ball mount includes white lithium grease to lube the retaining pins.
