Features to know about

Built for the Big Jobs: 30,000 lbs Capacity That Doesn’t Flinch

When you’re towing heavy—like full-size campers or loaded equipment trailers—you need gear that can take it. This mount handles up to 30,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball and 12,000 lbs with the 2" ball, backed by a maximum tongue weight of 6,000 lbs. The solid steel shank and welded gusset plate give it the muscle to stay steady mile after mile, even under serious load.

Keeps Every Trailer Level: 13-1/4" Drop or 13-1/2" Rise

Different trailers sit at different heights, but there’s no need to keep swapping mounts. The adjustable channel gives you seven mounting positions for quick height changes, from a 13-1/4" drop to a 13-1/2" rise. Just move the ball platform with the included pins and clips, lock it in place, and your trailer sits level and stable every time.

Solid Where It Counts: Thick Steel Channel and Welded Balls

This mount isn’t hollow or flimsy—it’s built from 5/16" thick laser-cut steel plates and a 1/2" thick welded gusset plate that braces the channel. The two hitch balls are welded directly to the solid steel platform for extra strength, so there’s no looseness or flex when you’re hauling heavy loads. It’s the kind of setup that feels tight and secure right down to the last turn.

Stays Clean and Strong: Matte Black Powder Coat With Corrosion-Resistant Pins

Rain, road salt, and grime can eat away at towing gear fast. The matte black powder coat finish keeps rust at bay while maintaining that clean, solid look after repeated use. Even the heat-treated pins are built tough—the nickel undercoat with zinc topcoat resists corrosion so your connection points stay reliable season after season.

Easy to Adjust and Expand: Quick Height Changes With Accessory Options

Switching between trailers or setups takes only a minute. Slide the platform where you need it, secure it with the pins, and you’re set to tow. And if you’re gearing up for a specific job, this mount works with accessories like a weight distribution shank, clevis, shackle attachment, or hitch step (sold separately), keeping your setup flexible for whatever you’re hauling next.

Video Transcript for BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch Review

Hi I'm Matt with etrailer. Today we're talking about the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount. The reason a lot of people invest in a ball mount system that has a rise or drop to it is so they can accommodate the trailers they are pulling because you want everything to be lined up. So to do that, this rise and drop allows you to lower or raise that ball mount. There are several rise and drop options for these extreme duty trailer ball mounts. You'll just want to go with the one that's gonna be the best fit for your truck and trailer combination.

Get the most level towing experience. Whether you choose to go with the one we have today or the one with the higher rise and drop, they both are gonna function the exact same way. So let's take a closer look at it. Starting with the balls up top, we're gonna have this 2-5/16th inch ball. That's gonna be capable of carrying up to 30,000 pounds, and the one on the bottom is gonna be a two inch ball capable of carrying up to 12,000 pounds.

They're both gonna have the same tongue weight though, and that's gonna be at 6,000 pounds. The system's also gonna include two pins and some safety clips on them, and they're gonna secure down this ball mount to the housing. (metal rattles) Now there is a little bit of rattling we still get from this, but I wouldn't worry about too much because we do have both these pins, which do feel pretty sturdy (pink clank) and they do a really good job holding this into place, especially getting the back in and secured. I'm not really struggling any, especially since we do have this thicker powder coat, which is kind of rough. It is pretty easy to use still.

Now you're only gonna get two of these pins, so you'll have to invest in getting a pin in clip for the hitch pin. What I actually recommend is investing in a locking system too, so no one can come by and take this right off. The system is gonna be constructed from a heat treated steel, so what that means is it's gonna be able to withstand really heavy weights, like I said earlier, up to 30,000 pounds. Now just make sure you know that your vehicle is rated to tow that amount of weight, and then we're gonna have this black powder coat finish to it, which is gonna help it be more rust resistant. But keep in mind, if you're constantly using this a lot, this does have the likelihood to scratch up some.

So if that finish comes off in any place, it is gonna raise a likelihood of rusting in those spots. You'll probably also notice when I've been kind of handling this, we do have a little bit of rattle back here (bar rattles) and that might not be a big thing for you if you're towing, but if you have this in the back of your vehicle just for the time being and nothing's on here, you might not be a big fan of that. So what I just recommend is just investing in an anti-rattle device to put on here so you don't have to deal with that. Now, if you want to save on some space, if this is sticking out just a little bit too long for you, you actually can put this in a different position by just removing this pin (pin clanks) and just push it in some and line it up with that second hole. Then this is gonna save you a little bit of space. (metal clanks) If you want, you can flip it around, do this like this, and then you're gonna get variations when you have it in the rise (metal clanks) just like that. Overall, I think it's gonna be a great system for anyone who plans on towing a lot of different size trailers, especially with how adjustable this is and how easy it is to maneuver and especially how well this is constructed. It's something that's gonna last you a long time because especially since it does have a nickel undercoat and a zinc top coat, that's also gonna assist with being corrosion resistant and adding additional strength to the entire system. This is just a look at some of the features of the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount. Thanks for stopping by.

@Galen That's great to hear Galen! Thank you so much for coming back and sharing that with us.

The height adjustment was perfect for finding the right height for my boat trailer’s hydraulic brake’s to work properly. I pull it with a Chevy Express conversion van which is closer to the pavement than most tow vehicles.

This is my 2nd bulletproof hitch. My other one is to big to use on my truck. But it works great for my Tahoe. I am going to start shopping with you guys from now on for the things I want and need that you carry. There's 2 reasons why, first you have good prices but the thing that really won me over was the crazy fast shipping.
by:
Really well made hitch. Love the 2 5/8 pin hole options to get more clearance on the trailer tounge. For a "light duty" hitch, this thing is pretty heavy duty. I use my tacoma (6500 lb tow rating) for my landscaping busines. I tow a utility trailer with a 2 inch ball with 2 mowers weekly. I also pull a buddys 16ft utility and 12 ft dump, both of which use 2 5/16 (and need different heights). The 4 inch drop should be plenty for my stock tacoma (with road active suspension) Time will tell on the finish, but i grease my trailer balls regularly, and after the 1st week of using it there are no signs of wear on the ball. Ill be back to order the curt tacoma front hitch eventually. Thanks etrailer.
by:
It is heavy buy a locking pin so you don’t have to take it off
by:
Not my first time dealing with Etrailer and definitely not my last. Easy ordering and on time every time. Hitch is built very well exactly what we needed to tow our skid steer around. Seems very solid compared to otehrs we looked at.

Thanks etrailer.

Best hitch on the market and the shipping was insanely fast
by:
The product was delivered as promised and I have had the opportunity to try it. I'm very happy with it. Some reviewers complained about noise, so I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet my connection was especially compared with my previous hitch. I am very confident that will me meet my towing needs!
by:
Rust starting to show and coating has worn off. Rep suggested this drop length and it is definitely too much even with my 2500. Not a product flaw a customer service flaw
by:

Their packaging is, would you say...bullet proof? [slaps knee] haha! What are you towing with such stout equipment?

I need a solution for my BMW SUV to tow my boat and trailer with two ball sizes and very different height requirements. This worked perfectly. The name Bulletproof fits well - I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and engineering.

Great hitch! Very solid. Was a little bigger than expected but no issues. Makes switch between trailers so much easier
by:
Fit truck and trailer better than expected. Pulls heavy trailer very well. That is why I bought locks to try and keep the hitch from being taken.
by:
Very high-quality hitch! The shipping was FAST!
by:
So far I am extremely happy with this hitch. It is very heavy duty. My towing capacity has changed and needed to upgrade to a heavy duty hitch. I have no doubts this is going to be Bulletproof!! It is very well built and a solid shank.

Love this hitch. Best hitch I have ever owned.

I have bulletproof hitches on all my vehicles. The quality is awesome and won't use anyone other than etrailer for my towing needs.

Great hitch, and great experience with etrailer. The shipping was fast, and everything was packaged nicely. I even put the sticker on my truck window.

I purchased the 2-1/2" Bulletproof Adj Ball Mount for my 2019 RAM 2500 (Laramie, 4WD, 20" Rims&Tires, Off-Road Suspension) to have 1 mount for various trailers. This replaces various 2" mounts used on my 01 Silverado 2500. This is one serious, substantial piece of equipment! Heavy, good welds, nice powder coating! Pix compares this mount with a 7500# 2" Draw-tite mount. Nothing wrong with the Draw-tite, but no comparison in mass.
Some measurements, if interested: Truck: inside top of Receiver: 25" above grade. Bottom of mount without balls: 9-3/4" above grade (clearance). With 2-5/16" ball up: At lowest point: Top of Ball: 17" above grade. bottom of 2" ball: 9-1/4" above grade (clearance). At highest point: Top of Ball: 26-7/8" above grade. With 2" Ball up: At lowest point: Top of Ball: 16-1/2" above grade; bottom of 2-5/16" ball: 8-3/4" above grade (clearance). At highest point: Top of Ball: 26-1/2" above grade.
etrailer shipped quickly, only in original box from Bulletproof, with no exterior shipping box, but box was completely taped, so package arrived in good shape.
1 minor complaint: no pin included for securing mount into receiver.
by:
I am totally shocked by the weight and quality of the product. Not even one scratch on the finish. It shipped from Illinois to Dallas in only 3 days for free. Now I know why they are called BulletProof. Perfect for my lifted truck. I wished I had gotten this a long time ago!

It has worked out great. I have used it extensively on 5 different trailers with our 6 lifted truck. Not only has it been extremely versatile but overloaded tongue weights as well.

by:
I bought this hitch just under one year. To date, the hitch has performed fine. HOWEVER, the cheap powder coating has turned the entire hitch into a an eyesore. Its just rusting like mad, and the powder coat is now flaking in large chunks. Looks like crap on the back of the truck. I don't even live in an area where salt accumulates or they use it on the roadway.

This is not common as the hitch is covered with a high quality powder coat. If you ever get any paint chips or scratches on this ball mount, we recommend using a rust-oleum type of paint to cover those scratches. That will help with any corrosion as time goes on. I have a link for your reference below.

Works perfectly and customer service is top notch

This hitch ball mount is a beast for sure. It has a nice appearance and a lot of weight. i do not see it letting me down at anytime. i also think that spacers could be provided to eliminate excess play. The web site is greatand was very helpfull. However, once ordered i thought the etrailer logistics, in house tracking process was a little misleading, if i see it is packaged not sure why it did not ship until 2 days later. of course, i am not on the ground not seeing everything going on might change my mind about the last comment. Thanks

    Hey Chuck, thanks for reaching out! According to my research, the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball w/ 1" Rise - 1-3/8" Diameter x 2-3/4" Long Shank # BWHB94007 is a pretty unique hitch ball that we don't even have a ball mount for.

  • Is It Ok To Tow Trailers With A lifted Truck?
    Hot Shot driving with a lift can cause issues, but if you were going to be towing bumper pull trailers, you are good to go. All you will need is an adjustable ball mount, like the American made BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # ED2012. This will come with a 2" ball that is rated to 12,000 pounds and a 2-5/16" ball rated to a massive 30,000 pounds, so it will definitely have you covered for just about anything.
