  • 5 inch or 7 inch Drop Version of B and W Tow & Stow Adjustable Ball Mount for 2015 Buick Enclave
    Hey Gary, for your application I would go with the 5 inch drop version part # BWTS10048B over the 7 inch drop part # BWTS10049B. I don't think you'll encounter a trailer that would require that much drop and it would potentially cause ground clearance issues and just be overall heavier and more expensive for no advantage.

  • Recommended B & W Tow & Stow Ball Mount for 2005 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
    By 6-1/2 inch, I'm assuming you're speaking of the drop, correct? You will want to choose a ball mount that has enough drop so that you can tow your trailer so it's level. To determine the necessary drop (or rise) you'll need to find the height difference between your 2 inch receiver tube on your hitch and the underside of the trailer's coupler as outlined in the help article I've linked for you. If your current ball mount has a drop of 6-1/2 inches and tows a trailer so it's level, you'd...

  • Recommended B&W Tow & Stow for 2023 Toyota Tacoma
    For your 2023 Tacoma I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B. This has a 5-1/2" rise and 5" drop which will cover most trailers you might tow with the truck. I would also add the InfiniteRule Locking Pins for B & W Tow and Stow # 34061775-D to keep the ball mount safe and secure.

  • Lock For B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B
    The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B do not come with a keyed locking pin to secure the shank to the receiver. For that I recommend the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Trailer Hitches # 1480DAT. If you want a locking pin for the ball mount, you would need the longer of the two pins that comes with the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3492. I have added links to video reviews of each product for you.

  • Recommended Hitch Lock and Coupler Lock Incorporating Safety Chains
    I am not aware of any chain lock. We do have some ball mounts like the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10048B which when using a locking hitch pin like # 63232 will secure the shank and ball to the hitch receiver. The Curt Channel Style # C45900 will also secure the ball and mount using # C23556. If you want to secure a coupler to the ball you can use # BD580403. If you really want to secure your chains, you can use a cable lock like...

  • Will etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar Fit etrailer Magnetic Reducer Sleeve
    Hi Spike; great question! Unfortunately, the face of the # e28JR is too wide for the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV to fit. What kind of accessory are you trying to use? If it has a hollow shank like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10048B a better solution would be an anti-rattle hitch pin like the # SHP2040-XL.

  • Comparing Curt 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver to Draw-Tite 2 Inch Receiver for 2018 VW Atlas
    For your 2018 VW Atlas, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13366 will be about 1-1/2 inches recessed behind your bumper and will drop 8.44 inches from the mount to the bottom of the receiver tube according to my tech contact at Curt. The Draw-Tite # 76176 will have the receiver tube extend about 6-1/2 inches from the rear mounting hole and will drop 8.8 inches from the mount to the bottom of the receiver tube according to my tech contract at Draw-Tite. For your trailer wiring, I recommend...

  • 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Recommendations
    The absolute best trailer hitch for your 2024 Ford Bronco Sport is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e57KR because of the matte black finish. This not only looks better, but is also more durable than the classic glossy black finish that we see on the other options available. I've actually had a few of our etrailer hitches installed on my personal vehicles and I've never been disappointed with them! Then for wiring I really like the Curt T-Connector # C47WR because it tees in behind...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for 2006 Ford F-150 to Cover Basically All Trailers
    The B and W Tow N Stow Ball Mount part # BWTS10038B that you referenced would be what I would recommend. This comes with the two more popular ball sizes of 2 inch and 1-7/8 inch which are more common on lighter duty trailers and has ability to do up to a 5 inch drop. If you wanted maximum flexibility though we have a three ball version of this with the part # BWTS10048B which also includes the 2-5/16 inch ball size. This would cover everything and would be a really solid option too.

  • B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount For 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 With Multi-Pro Tailgate
    For your 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited with the Multi-Pro tailgate you will want the Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BW49FR for a 4-1/2" drop. This mount is specifically designed for the Multi-Pro tailgate and will allow you to leave the ball mount in place with the balls placed in the stored position. The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B that you found sticks out to far as it is designed to fit a variety of vehicles and will contact your tailgate. The 7" Drop # BWTS20067BMP for the...

  • Height Difference of the 3" and 5" B&W Tow and Stow 3-Ball Adjustable Ball Mounts
    Out of those two options, I recommend the 3" Drop B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount item # BWTS10047B for your 2019 Ford F-150. Both the 3" B&W Tow and Stow item # BWTS10047B and the 5" B&W Tow and Stow item # BWTS10048B are recommended to have 11" of clearance from the lowest portion of the ball mount to the ground so you don't have to worry about hitting the ground. So the 3" drop one would be better than the 5". I have linked a diagram below that will show you the overall lengths. While...

  • Is B&W Tow & Stow With 5 Inch Drop Most Popular For 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    Yes, you're on the money because the most popular B&W Tow & Stow ball mount for 2 inch hitchers is indeed the one that has a maximum of 5 inches of drop or 5-1/2 inches of rise. There are actually two versions of this, one being a 2-ball mount and the other being a 3-ball mount, and a couple color options: - 2-Ball Mount: B&W Tow & Stow - Browning # BWTS10037BB or Black # BWTS10037B - 3-Ball Mount: B&W Tow & Stow - Browning # BWTS10048BB or Black # BWTS10048B Both ball mounts have a...

  • How Does B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount with 5" of drop # BWTS10048B Affect Ground Clearance
    From the top of the receiver to the bottom of the 2-5/16" hitch ball was approximately 10-1/2" for the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount with 5" of drop # BWTS10048B that you referenced. See attached picture. So this would hang 8-1/2 inches below the hitch on your vehicle.

    Thanks for reaching out and providing photos! The head of your Reese Weight Distribution System part 113913 is designed to fit a shank with flush sides where the bolts secure like what we see with part part # RP54970, but the Replacement Hitch Ball Platform # PS63075 installs on shanks that have a groove on the sides like what we see with the part # 63911.

  • How To Determine Correct B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount For 2 Inch Hitch
    You made a great choice with the B&W Tow & Stow, as it is considered by many to be the best ball mount in the industry due to its strength and anti-theft design of the platform. In order to determine which one is correct for your F-250, you will just need to take two different measurements to ensure you get the right one. Just measure from the ground to the top of the inside of your Ford's hitch receiver; next, measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler and find the...

    The distance from the top of the shank to the bottom of the platform on the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10048B while in the stowed position is 8-1/2". I am not sure where you were measuring from but if you measure from the top of the receiver tube opening to the ground and then subtract 8-1/2" that will then give you your ground clearance measurement. Unfortunately, there are too many variables at play to give you a definite answer as to whether or not it will scrape but you...

  • Choosing Between 5 Inch and 7 Inch B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount
    The correct size drop to look for in a ball mount is specific to the truck and trailer. You'll want to get the one that allows you to tow multiple trailers yes but if you go with too much drop it can create ground clearance issues. Therefore, it's best to measure your truck and trailer first. If you don't have a trailer yet you can use the standard coupler height of 16"/17" as a guide and then subtract this from the distance from the ground to the top of the receiver tube on the truck....

  • B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount Fit for 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 with GM MultiPro Tailgate
    The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B is for standard tailgate systems. Since your 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 has the MultiPro Tailgate you'll want to use the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro # BW49FR instead. This has the same specs aside from having a 4-1/2" rise as opposed to the 5" rise of the part you were looking at. The head piece is different though which is why it can fit with the newer tailgate design. I also recommend securing your investment with a hitch lock. You can...

  • Best B&W Tow & Stow for a 2018 Ford F-350
    In order to find out how much of a drop you need to look for in a ball mount, you will need to measure from the ground to the top of the inside edge on your trailer hitch and then from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler on your trailer while level. If you subtract the trailer height measurement from the hitch that will give you the amount of drop you need to look for in a ball mount. I recommend doing this for both trailers. Please note that the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount...

  • Is 11 Eleven From Ground to Bottom of B and W Tow and Stow Enough Clearance
    If you have exactly 11 inches from the ground to the bottom of the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B you'd be totally fine. It only might be an issue if you went on unusually uneven terrain like off-roading. But 11 inches would be totally safe and fine.

  • Ball Platform On 3" Drop B&W Tow & Stow Hits Bumper When Stowing
    In regards to the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10047B, so long as you have the hitch balls pointed down there should be no issues stowing the ball platform under the receiver tube. I suppose there could be some odd setups that don't allow for this on the 3" drop version and for those instances I recommend the 5" drop version part # BWTS10048B. I can't recommend only using one pin to secure the ball platform in the stowed position due to the risk of the ball platform failing due...
