Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Brophy ball mount for two inch hitches. Has the 10 inch drop and a 7,500 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this is a nice, sturdy steel ball mount for two inch hitches, and it can be used in the drop position to fit your application. Total drop on this, which is measured from the ball platform to the top of the shank, you can see if we put a ruler on it, it's gonna be right at 10 inch drop.
Now, this ball mount will let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. And because this has such a large drop of 10 inches, it is designed for lifted trucks. This shank right here will slide into your vehicle's two inch hitch receiver. And the ball platform right up front here provides the mounting point for your hitch ball. Now, the hitch ball is not included.
That is sold separately. The ball hole diameter that the ball fits in is one inch. So, it is designed to work with hitch balls that have a one inch shank diameter, and the thickness of the ball platform is 3/4 of an inch. Now, this ball mount cannot be used in the rise position, and it cannot be use with hitch extenders. Also, one other note I do wanna mention, use of any ball mount like this that has a 10 inch drop does reduce the trailer hitch capacity by 1/3.
So, your towing capacity is limited to 2/3 of your lowest rated towing component, be it the vehicle, the hitch, the ball mount, or your hitch ball. This is a nice, sturdy steel construction. You can see it has the hollow shank. It is a corrosion resistant black powder coat finish. And when you do install this into your hitch receiver, it will require a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock to secure it.
Now, that is not included. We do sell those separately on our website, and they're usually listed on this product page as a related product. The pin hole diameter is 5/8 of an inch, so you do wanna make sure to use a pin and clip or hitch lock that is a 5/8 inch diameter pin. Now, the length, the length in a ball mount is always measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole. So, on this one, if we go from the center to the center of the ball hole, that is right at 11 1/8 inches. And then the distance from the center of this hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the gusset, you can see they put this gusset in there for extra support, so just to make sure you don't run into any fitment problems, the center to that, to the start of the gusset is about 3 3/4 inches. Now, this part is made in the USA. Again, the specs on this, it's designed to fit two inch by two inch trailer hitch receivers. Gross towing weight capacity is 7,500 pounds, and the tongue weight capacity is 750 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the Brophy ball mount for two inch hitches with the 10 inch drop and a 7,500 pound gross towing weight capacity..
