Specs:
This unique mount from Gen-Y Hitch includes a ball mount that can be easily positioned in one of the 3 stacked receivers that sits along the vertical shank of the unit. This dual-ball mount lets you tow a trailer with a 2" ball coupler or a 2-5/16" ball coupler.
Also included is a pintle lock, which can be inserted into the receiver directly above the ball mount to create a pintle hitch for hooking up a trailer with a lunette ring. Unlike other adjustable pintle hooks on the market, there are no nuts and bolts to remove and retorque when you change the positioning of this hitch. Just move the ball mount and pintle lock up or down to get the proper height and secure them in place with the included pins.

Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at this Gen Y adjustable two ball mount with the stacked receivers for a two and a half inch hitch. It has a 32,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this adjustable ball mount will let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank portion right back here, it'll slide into your two and a half inch hitch receiver on your vehicle and up front you'll have a two inch diameter ball and a two and five sixteenths diameter ball, which will provide the connection points for your trailer coupler and they also include this pintle lock accessory.
When this is paired with that two and five sixteenths diameter ball, provides a connection point for a Lunette ring couplers.Now, Lunette ring couplers, they're large trailers, heavy duty trailers that use the Lunette ring, which is a large ring with a hole in the middle and basically are designed to just drop over the ball, but they do need to be held onto the ball. So, what's nice with this pintle lock accessory, if we move the pin and clip, you can slide that back when you drop your Lunette ring over the ball and then you just slide this over the Lunette ring and it'll hold it into place. Put the pin through there, put the clip in there and it'll lock it into place. So, that'll hold your Lunette ring in place. So, if you do any towing with large heavy duty trailers that have a Lunette ring coupler, this will work great for that.You'll notice it has the three stacked two and a half inch receivers to accept the included ball mount and the pintle lock accessory as well as other hitch mounted accessories.
The pins right here, there's two, three quarter inch diameter stainless steel pins and clips are included to secure those accessories to the shank. And one of the neat things I want to mention about it is if you look at the clips they use, they're a neat design. It's a twist clip. Basically, to take it out, you just twist it and it comes right out. Very simple.
Most of your clips like this just have the two straight pins going forward and you go to try to push it on, it takes a lot of effort to push it on and a lot of effort to pull it off. What's neat about these with the bent pin, to install it, just start it in there, turn it 90 degrees and it slides right on. And the same way to remove it. Just like that. So, that's a neat little feature what they do on the clips.Now, it does give you an adjustable height.
It'll let you tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. Works well if you're using a lifted truck. The ball mount basically can be lowered or raised to match your application. The maximum drop it'll give you is six inches. Maximum rise would be six inches. This is a nice heavy duty steel construction It uses a zinc primer and a powder coat finish to resist corrosion. Now, on the back here, you have the two hitch pin holes. If you notice, they're two different sizes. The first one right here is a five eighths inch diameter. The larger one behind it is a three quarter inch diameter. Now, the hitch pin and clip or the hitch lock to secure this to your hitch, they are not included. You would have to supply that separately. We do also sell those separately on our website.This is SAEJ684 certified. It is made in the USA. Again, the application is for two and a half inch by two and a half inch trailer hitch receiver. Now, the gross towing weight capacity will just depend on the ball size you use. If you use the larger two and five sixteenths diameter ball, the gross towing weight capacity is 32,000 pounds. Maximum tongue weight capacity is 3,500 pounds. If you use the smaller two inch ball diameter, gross towing weight is 16,000 pounds, tongue weight would be 1500 pounds.A few dimensions on this, the overall height, which will be measured from here to the very top, that'd be right at nine and three quarter inches total length from the back here to the very front of the ball Mount is going to be right at 17 and a quarter inches. And then the total length, not including the ball mount, so from here to right there is going to be right at 12 and seven eighths inches.Now, I just want to show you how you can change the ball size. So, what we'll want to do is go ahead and take this pin and clip out, slide this back and once you get it back far enough you can lock that into the closed position so that you're not using the pintle lock right up here. And then down here, pull off the clip, pull out the pin, what you can end up doing is slide this out, just rotate it to the two inch. We're just going to put it back in the same hole. But as I mentioned, you have a choice of three different locations to put it in. Once you get it in there, slide your pin back through, take your twist clip, slap it in there and you're all ready to go. Just like that you switched it. And then again, I put it in the same one. You can put it in whatever height you would need.But that should do it for the review on the Gen Y adjustable two ball mount with the stacked receivers for two and a half inch hitch and a 32,000 pound gross towing weight capacity.

I have been pulling this trailer daily for 19 years. Have been through a few hitches in that time. They all seem to bend over time. This one has just been installed and I must say it is the best quality heavy duty hitch I have ever purchased. Can't wait to pull with it... 640579
This hitch has been used with both balls in every height position. Hitch is durable and high quality. It has not been off my truck since I purchased it and is used frequently to tow 10-20K trailers. 749840
