Video Transcript for Checking Out the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches

Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Draw-Tite extra long ball mount for 2" hitches. This has a 2 3/4" rise, and a 4" drop, and a 6,000 lb weight capacity. Now this ball mount'll let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank portion right here slides into your vehicle's 2" hitch receiver opening. Then the ball platform right here's what'll provide the mounting point for a hitch ball that has a 1" diameter shank. Those we do sell separately on our website. If you notice, on the shank portion, it has an angled cut to it for easy installation into your hitch.

Both the drop and the rise positions are available to ensure level towing. Now, when you do install this into your hitch, it does require a hitch pin and clip, or a hitch lock, to hold the ball mount to your hitch. We do sell them separately on our website. The application again, this is for a 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver. Maximum gross trailer weight capacity is 6,000 lbs.

Maximum tongue weight capacity is 600 lbs. Do want to give you a few dimensions on this. We're going to measure the length from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. If we put our ruler on that center to center is right at 11". Now the drop we mentioned is 4" drop, and the drop will be measured from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform. If we put the ruler on that, you can see there's your 4" drop.

The rise would be, if you flip it over, from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform, and that's going to be right at 2 3/4". The ball hold diameter, that portion right there that the hitch ball will attach to, again that's going to be . Let's turn it this way. The diameter of that hole opening is right at 1". That should do it for the review on the Draw-Tite extra long ball mount for 2" hitches with a 2 3/4" rise, 4" drop, and a 6,000 lb weight capacity..

  • Extended Ball Mount For Class A RV To Pull a Tow Dolly With Van
    Rather than using an Extension # e88YR you might consider using a extended ball mount. We have a couple different lengths depending on how much distance you will need to your Dolly # DM9713093.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness and Ball Mount for 2020 Mazda CX-5
    The etrailer brand # e98902 Class III hitch is a great choice for your 2020 Mazda CX-5. Finding the necessary rise/drop ball mount is a straightforward process. Measure from the top inside of the receiver tube to the ground. Measure from the underside of the trailer coupler when its jacked up level to the ground (or, you can use 17 inches as an average). Subtract the two numbers and the result is the rise/drop you need. If the receiver tube is taller, you'll use the ballmount in the drop...

  • Do Longer Hitch Extenders Reduce Hitch Capacity
    There isn't a 100% direct mathematical relationship I'm aware of but yes, the further rearward you go from the hitch receiver, the lower the tongue weight capacity gets. Which is why extenders typically will reduce a trailer hitch's capacity by at least half or more. The same doesn't hold true for a longer ball mount, because it's a single piece and not an add-on like an extender. I'm assuming you have a 2 inch class III receiver on your 2012 Outback. I'm not sure what kind of rise/drop...
