An illustration shows the eleven inch clearance level needed between the ground and B and W Tow and Stow hitch.

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.


Easily Adjusts and Stows

B&W Tow & Stow Ball Mount Operation

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.


Built-In Anti-Theft System

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.


Single Dimensions

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.

  • Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for 2018 Ram 3500 with 2-1/2 inch Hitch
    For your 2018 Ram 3500 with a 2-1/2 inch hitch the B and W adjustable ball mount that would be the best option would be the part # BWTS20040B which fits the 2-1/2 inch hitch size and can do a drop of up to 7-1/2 inches. It also comes with both popular hitch ball sizes as well of 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch.

  • Will B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - Compatible with GM MultiPro Tailgate Work with Rock Tamers
    Correct, the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount part # BWTS20066BMP would not work with Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System part # ERT00110 as there is not enough room on the shank. I don't think there's a ball mount that does both so your best option from B&W is the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount part # BWTS20040B as it has two hitch pin holes.

  • Best Adjustable Ball Mount for a Ram 2500 w/ a 2-1/2" Receiver Hitch
    Sounds like you are looking for a ball mount. It looks like the 2020 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4WD diesel comes with a 2-1/2" receiver from the factory. I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount item # BWTS20040B or item # BWTS20049B if you just want the 3-ball. This adjustable ball mount has a 18,000 lbs towing capacity with the 2-5/16" ball or a 7,500 lbs with the 2" ball. It has a maximum rise or drop of 7-1/2". The best part about B&W's ball mounts is when you're not towing, you can flip...

  • Recommended Ball Mount w/ a 2 and 2-5/16 Hitch Ball and a 7,500 lbs Capacity
    Sounds like you are needing a ball mount. If you have a 2" hitch, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount item # BWTS10037B. This ball mount has both a 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball. It will give you a 5" drop or a 5-1/2" rise. The 2" ball has a 7,500 lbs capacity and the 2-5/16" ball mount has a 10,000 lbs capacity. If you have a 2-1/2" hitch you'll want the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount item # BWTS20037B. If your truck is lifted you will want the 2" B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount item #...

  • Can I Use the B&W Tow and Stow BWTS20037B w/ the Factory Hitch on a 2022 Ford F-250?
    So long as your F-250 has a 2-1/2" receiver then the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount item # BWTS20037B will definitely work with your truck. This double ball mount has a 7,500 lbs capacity with the 2" ball or a 18,000 lbs capacity with the 2-5/16" ball. I recommend using the InfiniteRule Locking Pins for B & W Tow and Stow item # 34061775-D. These pins will secure your ball mount with the same key and not reduce its capacity. If you have a lower trailer you may want to use the B&W Tow & Stow...

  • How Tall Is The B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20040B To Maintain The Recommended 11" Clearance?
    I reached out to B&W to verify the height of the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20040B. They informed me from the top of the hitch to the lowest point will be 11.1" This would only give you approximately 10.4" of clearance. You will want to step down to the 5" Drop # BWTS20037B to maintain the 11" of clearance required when used in the lowest position unless you plan on lifting your 2022 Ford F-250.

    I would love to help but I can't really tell you if you need the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount with 5" Drop part # BWTS20037B (part # BWTS20037C) or 7" Drop part # BWTS20040B (part # BWTS20040C) as it varies by application so you will need to measure for yourself.

  • Can the B&W BWTS20037B Be Stowed on a 2018 Chevy 3500HD?
    As the ball on the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS20037B can be turned parallel to the ground, you should not have an issue using the 5 inch drop. That being said, if you do need more drop, the 7 inch drop # BWTS20040B will be the better option.

  • How to Determine Drop of Adjustable Ball Mount Needed
    To determine the amount of rise/drop you'll need, take a measurement from the inside top edge of the hitch receiver tube to the ground. Then, measure from the bottom of the trailer coupler to the ground. The difference between the two numbers will be the rise of drop you need. If the hitch sits taller than the trailer coupler, you'll need a drop. If the coupler sits taller, you'll need a ball mount with a rise. I'll link to a help article that shows exactly how to do this. Here's a couple...

  • Which B and W Adjustable Ball Mount for 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    The amount of drop you'd need from an adjustable B and W Tow and Stow ball mount for your 2021 Ford F-250 really depends on the the trailer you'd be towing but most likely if the trailer is larger you'd get by with the 5 inch drop version part # BWTS20037B but let's say it's a smaller camper with smaller wheels and tires you'd probably need the 7-1/2 inch drop part # BWTS20040B. I attached a help article on how to determine the correct amount of rise/drop you'd need to tow your trailer level.

  • How To Select Adjustable Ball Mount for 2-1/2-Inch Hitch on 2021 Ram 2500
    What I think you are asking, when you state correct height, is height of the ball mount on your 2021 Ram 2500. To choose the best adjustable ball mount for you need to determine the tallest rise and deepest drop you'll need. This will be the minimum range you'll need in your ball mount. Because you will be hauling different trailers I suggest you get an adjustable. Step 1 is to find your hitch height. You've done this and have identified 25".

    No, you can't. I contacted B&W this morning and was told they do not sell the components of their tow and stow ball mounts separately. While you are most likely correct and they are probably interchangeable, B&W wants you to buy a new one. It sounds like you have either item # BWTS30037B or item # BWTS30040B.

  • Will a High Coupler Height On a Boat Trailer Affect Stability
    I would assume as well that boat trailer manufacturers have some inclination as to how the trailer will perform with a boat attached as that is its purpose after all but I don't have specifics on this. The coupler height however does not necessarily have a direct affect on the center of gravity for the trailer because some are mounted on top of the tounge which appears to be the case for you. Therefore, I would not fret too much unless you start to run into issues with stability. If you...
