Video Transcript for Review of BulletProof Hitches Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - Heavy Duty Adjustable 2 Ball - HD2012

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna take a look at this BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for two inch hitches. This adjustable ball mount has a maximum capacity of 22,000 pounds, making it ideal for heavy duty towing. This shank will slide into your two inch hitch receiver on your vehicle and it's ideal for vehicles with a 28 to 30 inch clearance from the ground to the bottom of the inside of your receiver tube. Now the adjustable height is going to let you tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. The hitch ball platform slides up or down the channel and it secures in place with the included pin and clips. I'm gonna go ahead and remove these clips from the pins and then remove the pins that just show you how easy it is to adjust this platform.

Now the adjustable channel is made of 5/16 inch thick laser cut plates and these steel plates can handle high capacities without bending. And because of the laser cutting, the channel plates have consistently sized pinholes. So as you can see, you can easily remove and replace the hitch ball platform and remove and replace these pins and clips very easily. By the way, these pin and clips are made of heat-treated steel and I'm just gonna adjust my ball from the two inch ball to the two and 5/16 inch ball. And again, you can just see how easily those pins go back into place.

So you're not gonna be struggling with the pin and the clips while you adjust the ball platform, and it's just gonna be very easy to adjust. So these heat-treated steel pins are going to withstand that heavy weight from your load, and the zinc finish is gonna provide corrosion resistance. As you can see, we have nine adjustment holes with seven mounting positions that are available and this is gonna provide you a maximum drop of about 13 and 1/4 inches. And when you flip this over, a maximum rise of about 13 and 1/2 inches. The adjustment hole diameter is 5/8 of an inch and you can tow up to 12,000 pounds with the two inch ball or up to 22,000 pounds with the two and 5/16 inch ball.

And the maximum tongue weight capacity is 3,000 pounds and the hitch balls are welded to the ball platform for extra sturdiness. Now this is made of heavy duty steel construction that is indeed going to be strong enough to handle large trailers and heavy cargo, and I really like this matte powder coat finish. It's not only attractive and not only is it gonna look good on the back of your vehicle, but practically it's gonna protect your ball mount from rust and corrosion, even after repeated use, it's a very thick, durable coating that I think is gonna last you a good long time. This steel shank is solid steel and it's CNC chamfered making it easy to slide this shank in and out of your hitch receiver. There's no sharp edges on the shank, so that powder coating is gonna be less likely to chip or peel.

The hitch pin hole diameter is 5/8 of an inch, and it is important to note that the pin and clip or the hitch lock for securing this hitch receiver, for securing this two-year hitch receiver rather, are sold separately. So if you don't already have a compatible pin and clip, that would be a separate purchase for you. However, I would recommend checking out etrailer.com for hitch locks to secure this investment to the back of your vehicle. Now this 1/2 thick gusset is welded between the shank and the channel, bracing the mount and keeping the channel from bending, even at maximum drop of rise. And this adjustable ball mount is compatible with a wide variety of accessories, which are sold separately. So instead of using the included ball to tow, you could install a weight distribution shank in the channel of the mount to attach your weight distribution system, you could add a clevis or a shackle attachment for off-road or recovery operations, or simply add a hitch step to easily access your truck bed. Check out the related products section of this product page to see those options. Speaking of this product page, we do have a detailed diagram with all of the important measurements that you are going to need to make sure that this fits your application, so take advantage of that. Now, the total weight of this is about 47 pounds, so again, this is going to be a very heavy duty, robust ball mount for you. This is SAE J684 certified, it does have a limited lifetime warranty. And I do also wanna mention that BulletProof Hitches' adjustable ball mounts are rigorously tested for heavy duty applications. These ball mounts are used and trusted by various United States government organizations, such as the Department of Transportation, the Department of Homeland Security, and all branches of the United States military. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
