Hello, neighbors and friends. Stephen here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our Draw-Tite ball mount with a two inch ball for two inch hitches with a two and three quarter inch rise or a four-inch drop rated at 7,500 pounds. Now folks, with a ball mount, you can simply hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank simply slides into, in this case, a two inch by two inch receiver tube on the vehicle hitch receiver. And then the two inch ball in this case provides that connection point for the trailer's coupler to come down on and hold tight.
Now, this shank does have an angle cut on the end of the shank that allows for easy installation and removal. And you can use it in both the drop, or you can flip the ball over and everything and use it in the rise position and have the ball coming up this way. Now, it is a nice heavy-duty steel that's been black powder-coated, so it's gonna resist corrosion and the ball is chrome plated. That way it's gonna resist corrosion as well. They do give you a pin and clip included.
You can simply pull the pin out and the clip, and then whenever you insert it back into the hitch receiver, you put it back on to hold it in place again. Now again folks, rated at 7,500 pounds gross towing or 750 pounds of tongue weight. Now, a couple of measurements. From the center of this pinhole to the center of the ball is nine inches. And the rise, if you we inchesre gonna use it in this application, would be two and three quarter inches from the top of the inside of the hitch receiver opening, so the part of your vehicle, to the top of the ball.
And the drop like it is here, it's four inches to the top of the ball from the top of the inside of the hitch opening. Once again, it's a two inch ball. The shank dimensions is one inch diameter on the shank by an inch and a quarter long on this particular shank. Now, this does require a socket of one and a half inches. If you need to remove that and flip it over and whatnot.
The hitch pin's a standard five eighth inch, and again folks, this is the Draw-Tite ball mount with two inch ball. I'm Stephen. Thanks for watching.

This Draw-Tite Ball Mount with 2" Ball is high quality, as is all products that Etrailer carries. I will be using it to pull my 10' aluminum trailer with my new Durango RT.
tl;dr good experience with warts. The etrailer-branded ball mount kit I ordered was back-ordered for a month, which was fine. Eventually Ashley E told me it would be a _second_ month. Not fine. She helped me configure a new order of third party parts. Shipped in one day. Great! Not great: Parts were just thrown in a box with no protection. UPS did their usual thing. Paint was chipped in a couple of places; would surely rust. I'll shoot these spots with some spray paint before installation. Hope that's a fix. I can't afford to diddle with a return.
Quality ball mount came with a pin and 2” ball. Perfect for a midsize SUV
Good fit, well made, worked well on first use, ball attached easily, was the reciever I was looking for.
The product is good but a bit tideous and after installing it my bracket fell and it was a pain to get replace it support made me buy the replacement pieces and the bracket didnt come with just the bolts, and at the end they told i have i had to buy the whole unit because based on their system my truck didnt have issues with installement and the manufacturer didnt supply that bracket cause it special order so in general i dont recommend in my choice better to get it welded.
the ball was missing in the package the rest was ok, delivered when expected but had to go fish out from UPS as the package was not accepted due to damaged container. all was ok but no ball on ball mount ?
One year review. Easy buy experienced. Works as described and easy to install. I ended up getting and installing an anti-rattle clamp when towing a trailer long distance over bumpy roads. More of a mental thing; I don’ like to feeling without it but not needed.
Amazing service - ordered yesterday and got today! I installed it perfectly using the excellent/comprehensive video provided by the eTrailer team. This is my second trailer hitch receiver from eTrailer, solid products and great service. Thank you all.
Working in the sand and grass of my driveway my wife and I installed our new etrailer receiver hitch. Great fit and finish! Went right on as described in the online guide. Hitch required a spacer washer on top back bolt attachment point. Taped it on so it would not move while lifting in place and it stayed right there! Used a car jack to raise up and hold the hitch into the underside of the trunk tighten the bolts and reattached the tail pipe done.
Now we can pull our Sunfish Sailboat any where the car will go.
Strong and seems to be well made and well finished. One-inch ball mounting hole. I used this for a Curt hitch mounted on a 2014 Forester and pulls a small Harbor Freight trailer. Perfect height and trailer is level. Warning - don't get their hitch pin, it does not have a hole for a cotter pin, only a weak clip that I would not trust.
It was easy to purchase exactly the parts I needed. I know very little, but I was able to order and bring everything necessary to my mechanic.
The trailer hitch was perfect and all the parts arrived together. But big thumbs up to the time and effort your team buts into production of the video clips for installation.
Thank you
I needed an extended ball mount for my new Jeep in order for my utility trailer tongue to clear the rear mounted spare tire. Item is as described on the web site and was received earlier than expected.
etrailer has great customer service and is my number one go to place for towing and trailer supplies.
Very knowledgeable group easy to work with I would always continue to use trailer :)
I am very pleased with the hitch, ball mount, and electrical package. All were easy to install if you follow the easy to understand directions. An added plus for putting one of these on a MINI is that the hitch can be hidden behind the "black plate/cover" that is on the rear bumper. It looks just like it came out of the factory except when to need to install the ball mount.
The service has been outstanding. This is the place to go.
Overall, I have to say that I am satisfied although not particularily impressed. The finish on the ball mount is mediocre ... there are several spots where the paint is chipped off for instance. It was received today and installed today with no use yet the pictures show the areas in question. You can tell by the label installation that someone who really didn't care rushed the operation. It also fit considerably looser than the Reese bar that I removed. I had to apply several turns of duct tape around the tube to make it as snug as the original. As I said, it'll do fine, just not impressed.
Sara R was helpful helping me find the right hitch for what I described as needing.
I was excited to see the hitch pin in my order details even though I didn't order it. Sadly, the picture gave me a false impression.
Overall, excellent customer service and product.
I searched the internet to put a hitch on my 2016 Chevy Equinox and found an instructional video from eTrailer.com where they installed on my exact car. I decided to go with eTrailer.com because they answered all my questions and because of the video-I support businesses that go the extra mile with these videos.
Shipping was quick and well tracked, however, the box was flimsy and the one end of the hitch had come out of the box side and the ball mount could have easily come out of that hole during shipping. If I were eTrailer.com I'd charge an extra couple of bucks for more sturdy boxes-people will still buy as eTrailer is a well-trusted brand and this would overcome a lot of the negative reviews you'll see on their site about this shipping issue in their own reviews :-)
I installed the hitch by myself (definitely recommend help as two people holding it up to the frame makes attaching 100% easier) in about 45 minutes total (out of the box, read instructions, review video again and installation complete). All hardware went on with no issues.
Great quality hitch! I also bought the lesser expensive wiring assembly because most recent equinox's come hitch ready with pre-wired assembly in the left side compartment-snap and done.
Picked up a new trailer at Home Depot within days and drove 5 feet and the clacking was horrible. I had always had a welded hitch before buying a hitch that took a ball mount. I really thought something was wrong and when I searched the internet that night it turns out this is very common. However, all you need is some sort of hitch "silencing" device. The number of options will drive you mad but I went with the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch and it did the trick for much less than most of the other options. If I were eTrailer.com I'd have that as one of the RECOMMENDED add-ons and explanation why its super-worthy when customers are buying a hitch. Would have saved me the time and hassle of dealing with it later and the extra shipping charge for buying after the fact when I got free shipping for the other items the first time :-)
All in all, I'm super, super happy with my hitch, wiring assembly, ball mount, ball mount locking pin and the hitch silencer.
Buy with confidence from eTrailer.com

As has always been my experience with eTrailer, quality product shipped and received promptly at a great price.
Delivery was fast and on time. Thanks to their installation video the install was a snap. I didn't even need to lift the van. I played a piece of card board on the ground used a couple of wood blocks to support one end while I fished and fastened the bolts. I thought it would be a lot more difficult, therefore I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely a quality product from a quality company. Thankyou ETRAILER.
Great products and service. I was able to order everything I needed to add a tow hitch and ball to my 2006 Jeep liberty. Very fast shipping. They even called me to verify orders and availability. Clear and easy to follow installation instructions. I hauled an [retailer] trailer from Texas to Ohio without any issues. Even bought a trailer and use it frequently for hardware stoe runs.
Almost everything about this combo is great my only concern is the locking clip wraps around a notch in the pin instead of sliding through a hole in the pin., otherwise the insert and ball work well on my Subaru Wilderness.
I had previously purchased the etrailer hitch for my 2021 Ford Transit 150.
It was a little short in length and the bumper prevented my current ball mount from working. As always, etrailer had the perfect solution. The Draw-Tite is well made and will now remain permanently with the van to be handy whenever the need arises.
Just what I needed for my new Curt tow hitch!
