Rough roads or sudden stops can send shock straight through your rig. This mount’s polyurethane interior works as a built-in shock absorber, cutting down on bounce and rhythmic vibration while towing. It softens the slam that happens when starting or stopping, helping protect your driveline, hitch assembly, and whatever’s loaded on the trailer.
Level towing is key to stability and even weight distribution. With a 1" rise or 2" drop, this ball mount helps you dial in the right height for a balanced setup. The solid steel shank measures 9-3/8" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole, giving you dependable geometry that keeps your trailer steady mile after mile.
When you’re pulling big campers, boats, or equipment trailers, strength matters. This mount is tested to a 14,000-lb gross towing weight and a 2,000-lb tongue weight. It meets THMA V-5 and SAE J-684 standards, so you can count on it to handle serious loads without flexing or fatigue.
Towing gear sees its share of weather and wear, but this one’s built to take it. The sturdy steel shank has a corrosion-resistant powder coat finish that guards against rust and road grime. It stays solid and clean even after long hauls in tough conditions.
Hooking up is simple. The platform uses a 1-1/4" diameter ball hole sized for hitch balls with an extended-length shank—perfect for getting a snug fit on this thicker platform. Slide it into your 2" x 2" receiver, secure it with a standard 5/8" pin (sold separately), add your ball, and you’re ready to tow.

awesome product and fast shipping
Delivered on time and really works well cushioning the trailer from bucking the truck.
I own 2 of these now & they're awesome... Only way to go when pulling a trailer.
Exactly what I ordered, great shipping, great quality.
second one bought from etrailer, works very well. good product
Just what I ordered. Very fast shipping
I bought it for towing gravity wagons, haven’t had a chance to tow with it yet, but my initial impression is that it seems very well built and very heavy Duty compared to others I have seen.
Product is awesome. Shipping container was destroyed when it arrived. Product was not hurt.
A great product- this thing is solid and well made. I love the double powder coating. I only wish the video review would have mentioned the shank length for the ball. They reviewed everything but the length. Trailer has always provided excellent service and truly provides great products.
The thickness of the metal on the portion of the hole that faces away from the receiver is a little concerning. Not sure how long it will last.
Takes the bump away on starts & stops in traffic areas. Wouldn't use anything else.
The hitch was just as described.It is always a pleasure doing business with e-trailer, quick shipping and very good packing.
2nd purchase from etrailer. Fast, efficient service and delivery. Just delivered today so request for review was a little quick. Seems heavy duty, ball I order fit through the hole just right... The whole thing went together like peas and carrots!
Just put it in my 2006 Ram 2500, it's a bit of a loose fit. Not sure if that is the design but my concern was that it would rattle going over bumps. My receiver has not been used before so it's not worn at all, it is stock. I put one wrap of Gorilla tape around it to snug it up and to keep it from rattling around.
I really like the cushioned receiver and the ball and lock I ordered. The online process was great. The website had plenty of information and the entire transaction went smoothly. In addition the order was shipped that day and arrived ahead of my expectations.
Great Job!!
This product works exactly as described. Expect to have your trailer movement front to back smoothed with this. Our original ball tongue had a harsh feeling to the movement, this ball tongue softens that feeling. Of course, etrailer shipped the product very promptly and it arrived well packed. Every purchase with them has been flawless!
This is the heavier duty version of cushioned hitch I am replacing. It's well made, fit and finish is excellent. I use it on a heavy duty Ford F-350 4x4 flat bed truck with a big V8 engine (460 c.i. or 7.5 liters). During the harvest season I pull two DMI 300 bu wagons tandem. A good quality cushioned hitch is a life savor with that much weight heaving back and forth going down the road. I highly recommend them they are well worth the extra $. Im sorry butbI don't have any pictures to share with you lol
Item received. Installed easily. Shipping was very fast, but, packaging was less than adequate. Hitch had come loose inside of box and torn a hole during shipping. Wiring lost in transit, but, turns out I didn't need it anyway.
Have had for the last year and used this hauling a work trailer that is from 6 to 10k. Really like it, can definitely tell the difference when using a regular style one. I also have a smaller one with 2" ball for towing my jeep. I figure these are cheap insurance for saving your driveline from the added wear of a jaring stop and go motion.
This product is heavy duty and performs very well. It seemed a little pricey but I just finished an 1,100 mile trip using it and was very pleased. I have driven countless miles with a "normal" ball mount and there is no comparison. Buy it, use it, you won't regret it.
Was hoping this would help with shock reduction. It doesn't. Has to fit loosely into hitch to function so it slams side to side and front to back. Would not recommend. Very disappointed in this purchase. Trailers service is exceptional. Easy to order. Arrived quickly, well packed.
We purchased these 6 months ahead of the arrival of our new trailer with 2 Max Air fans. At the time, no one had the transparent/smoke ones in stock, so we wanted to get ahead of supply chain issues. etrailer had them, and we received them quickly.
Had the trailer dealer install them and two others on the new trailer, so they could do any caulk work if needed. These are fantastic, in that you almost can't tell they are on the fan. A bit of tint, but otherwise crystal clear, and we never worry about leaving the vent covers open while travelling, or in inclement weather. etrailer is our go to for as many of our RV supplies as we can get from them, instead of the "A" company. Great customer service, good prices, and speedy shipping.
this is a great product that etrailer shipped FAST!
i haul a BIG bike hauler all over the east coast and to florida and i needed a solid heavy duty ball coupler.
this product is it.
i have bought several items from etrailer and every time the service and product is excellent!!

To help reduce the play in your set up, I recommend part # RM-061. This anti rattle device once installed will help to stabilize what you have installed in your hitch.
