Sturdy steel ball mount with a solid shank measures 9" from center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole. Polyurethane interior acts as a shock absorber to reduce vibration. Powder coat finish protects against rust.These hitches are the best! And I scanned the world over to find only hitches that are made in USA like I do every product I buy. This is a very ingenious design that allows some shock absorption that greatly quiets any trailering. I bought two full hitches one for each ball size so that I would never have to change ball again! Great product!
Just received this mount and did the test fit with our trailer. We have not hit the road with it yet but I am confident it will perform perfectly. I am anxious to see how the cushioned feature works. We pull a box cargo trailer for business and just got a new Chevy HD pickup to tow with. It has a 2.5" receiver and hitch height is much greater than the Suburban we were using plus it had a 2" receiver. This mount is rated for far more weight than we will ever need but it was the only 2.5" size with 6" drop that I could find. We are very pleased with the product and the excellent customer service we got at etrailer. Thanks to everyone there for the very fast service and for keeping me informed as to the status of my order. well done!

Now that you have driven with the cushioned ball mount for a while, do you think the cushioned feature is beneficial?

Have now used this mount several times. It is VERY heavy duty and we get no where near its full capacity. I do like the cushioned feature. It noticeably reduces usual shocks that get transmitted to the tow vehicle which, in my opinion, reduces stress on driveline components. The 2.5 inch shaft size eliminates the need for a reducer sleeve for 2 inch mounts which firms up the whole vehicle trailer connection. Also increases comfort for driver and passengers. I did make one mistake however. I figured the amount of I needed by the book. The formula said I needed six inches of . I did not anticipate enough squat in the truck with trailer loaded. As it turned out, I had to use a two inch riser ball to put the front of the trailer where I wanted it. A four inch mount would have been sufficient but I still recommend this product.
I was a bit upset when I found out that my New 2020 F-250 receiver has a 2.5"
box !
Greg S took the time to listen exactly what my needs were and guided me in
the right direction !
Actually he caught a mistake I made when ordering, and personally called me
then followed up once it was delivered, Many companies could learn something
about Customer Service from etrailer.

Fantastic
Quick shipping and no problem getting it to work in my 2012 Ford F350. I have another one just like it for the 2" ball and bought a second one for the 2 5/16". Tows my 12' trailer really well and will be using the new one for a 20' equipment trailer.

One year later and both products working great. Towed the 20 trailer on a 1,200 mile round trip and the cushion mount worked better than expected.
It was a bit pricey but totally worth it. No more bump from behind and it’s quiet. The hitch feels very solid while you’re towing. This is my review after using it for a year towing a car trailer.
High quality piece. Have only towed a couple times. Surprised not many choices for 2 1/2in hitches. I did not want to mess with the converters to 2in.
Just installed the new ball mount to my truck and it is a beast. This hitch is very well built and braced with extra welded support underneath hitch. So far very pleased but as being brand new haven't had the chance to treat it out therefore not a 5 start review, yet. Will drive home this weekend for a 4 hour trip will update after.
I haven’t used it yet but looks well built and they shipped very fast. I strongly recommend using trailer!!
What an excellent piece of hardware. Totally cuts out the rattle from trailer rocking and provides a smooth quiet ride when pulling my trailer and driving over bumps in the road. Will definitely be purchasing from etrailer.com again!
Looks strong enough to handle 18k with gusset and thickness of the 6” drop, delivery was on time.

All good
What a great way to shop for towing supplies! I live in a fairly large city, where I ran all over town shopping for the correct setup for my wife to tow her horse trailer behind our new truck. All that time and all it did was confuse me about what I wanted (needed).
In frustration, I went to the internet and found etrailer; nothing but facts and specs and great prices! In 10 minutes my 2 day job was complete, I had all the correct stuff ordered at a great price and it arrived promptly at my door. Rate it AAA+
I was very pleased with the trailer hitch I ordered from e-trailer. It is really good quality and extremely heavy duty. It also has a great paint job. My hitch was easy to order, exactly what I needed and was delivered in two days. Very pleased!!
I have a large dump trailer and this ball mount works flawlessly!
etrailer delivered perfect execution - how often does that happen? I needed to buy a few "non-standard" parts and they had them in stock and shipped them immediately. Subsequently when I needed more stuff, I didn't search the web, I went straight to etrailer.
Thanks for delivering an exceptional value and service.
Very high quality item better than expected. Better than other alternatives for the price. No more trailer balls lapping when brakes are applied with trailer delay.
Pretty manly class V hitch. Still waiting on some balls. Wait, can I say balls?
Very well made product and the service from etrailer was exceptional. My original order was incorrect as a result of my wrong measurements, and the service department was quick to resolve my problem.
Great Ball Mount - I thought it was a little expensive to start, but I would purchase again without hesitation having received the product. Much more heavy duty than I expected. Delivery time was better than expected. I will recommend to family and friends.
Heavy duty design for pulling over 10,000lb enclosed car trailer.
Just as described. Comprehensive product information, photos and videos made purchasing online very easy and worry free. Order processing and shipping were lightning fast. A really great experience, will definitely shop here again.
The hitch is very well built after one year has not bent at all and the rubber is still in very good condition.
This company has a huge selection of everything, and two times on different orders their sales person called me late at night to inform me of a better selection and much better price. Who does that? It's like getting personal help in the store. Really good help.
Had what I wanted, when I wanted it and was shipped out right away. Kept me inform on status of order. One of the best internet companies to deal with.
Extremely satisfied with this draw bar.
This is a great hitch - well-built and the cushioning is a great upgrade. No more 'THUNK' when pulling away at the stoplight.

A year later, since I last reviewed these and riches still work beautifully. And they are so heavy duty and durable that it is the last hitch you will ever buy. I am a machinist and own a large CNC manufacturing facility in California. Products made in USA 99.9 of the time or far superior to anything else you can buy. It may be a little more expensive than the crap you buy at Walmart, but you were investing in our country and our workforce. Outstanding product!
