Specs:
This unique mount from Gen-Y Hitch includes a ball mount that can be easily positioned in one of the 5 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.
With the 5 stacked receivers, not only do you have the ability to adjust the height of the included ball mount, but you also have the ability to add various other hitch-mounted accessories.

Hello everybody! This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Gen-Y adjustable two ball mount with the pintle lock. This one has a 12 inch drop, or rise. And it's for a two and a half inch hitch. Also has a 32,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now this is an adjustable ball mount so, it'll let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle.
Basically, the shank right here is what'll slide into your two and a half inch hitch receiver on your vehicle. And then up-front here, you have a choice of either a 2 5/16 diameter ball or a two inch diameter ball, that'll provide the connection points for your trailer coupler. Now what's nice on this part number, it also includes this pintle lock accessory you can see right here. And what that is designed for is when this is paired with this larger 2 5/16 diameter ball, it'll provide a connection point for a lunette ring coupler. And a lunette ring coupler is usually used on heavy duty trailers.
It's large ring that would drop over the ball. Just from the pop up an insert to show you there's a picture of, you can see lunette ring coupler on this application. And what you'll notice is when that lunette ring's on there this pintle lock slides over it, locks into place and keeps that ring from popping off of the ball. And just to show you how you do that is you just remove your clip, remove your pin, push that lock out of the way. And then you'll go ahead and hook up your lunette ring to the ball.
Once it gets all the way down there push that over lunette ring, line up your hitch-pin hole put your pin through there. Clip it, and you can see it locks that pintle lock in place, which will hold that lunette ring in place. And also if you don't use it with a lunette ring coupler, just a regular coupler, it does have a second hole that you can slide it back and store it and it'll store it in the shank out of the way. So then you can connect to just a standard coupler, if need be. Now the capacity on this will be determined by the ball size you use.
If you use the larger 2 5/16 diameter ball, it's gonna get you a gross towing weight capacity of 32,000 pounds, and a maximum tongue weight of 3,500 pounds. If you flip it over and use the smaller two inch diameter ball. Gross towing weight will be 16,000 pounds tongue weight capacity of 1,500 pounds. If you notice on this one, the shank has five stacked two and a half inch size receivers and they'll accept the included ball mount the pintle lock as well as other hitch mounted accessories. This does come with these two 3/4 inch diameter stainless steel pins and clips. Those are included to secure the ball mount to the shank and the pintle lock to the shank. And I wanted to mention these twist clips. I really like the design of them 'cause they make it very simple. A lot of times these clips are just straight pins and when you try to push 'em on, they're hard to do, and to pull 'em off sometimes is hard. With these, it's nice 'cause you just twist them. So if you twist it, it comes right off! Take your pin out and you go to install it. You line it up with the hole, push it, and again, it'll twist into place! So it's very easy to install or remove. Now this will give you an adjustable height. So it'll let you tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. Works well if you have a lifted truck. Basically this ball mount can be taken out and inserted into whatever receiver at whatever height you need for your application. Now, if you do put this in the lowest part, or lowest location here, this is gonna have maximum drop of 12 inches. If you flip this shank up over into the rise position and put this ball mount into the highest position it'll give you maximum rise of 12 inches. And just to show you how the ball mount you can change again, pull out your pin and clip, slide this out and then all you have to do is flip it over to get the two inch ball. And again, as we mentioned you could put it in whatever height you need. I'm just gonna slide it back into the same position, line your hole up, and once you get your hole lined up push the pin through Insert your twist clip. And then just like that, you're all ready to go with the smaller two inch diameter ball. This is a heavy duty steel construction. Does use a zinc primer and a black powder coat on the two ball mount and the pintle lock accessory. The shank has a primer with a durable silver vein epoxy powder coat on it to resist corrosion. Now, when you do install this into your hitch receiver it will require a hitch pin and clip, or a hitch lock for securing this to your hitch receiver. Those are not included. You would have to supply those, or we do sell those separate at our website. And they do offer two different hitch pinhole diameters a smaller 5/8 inch diameter, and a larger 3/4 inch diameter. This part is SAE J684 certified. It is made in the USA. Specs again, the application fits two and a half inch by two and a half inch hitch receiver. And one last note I do wanna mention on this, this ball mount does have many different dimensions to it. So what I do recommend for you to go to the product page of this part number to verify any dimension that may be needed for your application. If you just go to the product page, you'll have a picture of this with all the dimensions listed. But, that should do it for the review on the Gen-Y adjustable two ball mount with the pintle lock 12 inch drop and rise for a two and a half inch hitch..

Haven't used it yet but it looks great! 19 f250 with 8" lift and 37's. The 12 drop is perfect
Been towing with this hitch for a year now. It’s the best hitch I’ve ever owned. The longest I’ve ever kept the same hitch. Easy to switch heights, strength, it’s bulletproof. I’ve dropped a loaded dump trailer onto the ball after not getting it lined up correctly. The weight would have bent any other hitch. This Gen-Y laughed at it.
Shipping was lightning quick, fantastic hitch insert...
Review from a similar Mega Drop Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I have both ball and pintle hitch Trailers. That is why I bought this hitch. The hitch it self is well built but the Paint job is not that great . I have had it a year and most of the paint on the Shank ( another reason I bought it for the 3" shank to fit my receiver on my ford Superduty) is pretty much gone. The hitch it self still clanks around in the receiver .I wish there was an adaptor to fit over the Larger ball so that my pintle eye would not move around so much.

This hitch is the last one I should ever have to buy. It is well worth the money and should last a long time. I pull 10,000lb trailers and it works out well. No rattling or clanking with this hitch.
Review from a similar Mega Drop Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Great product. Always the best. This is the 3rd one we have purchased for our heavy trucks. My hitch came all scratched and banged up from poor shipping. Not a positive for a $xxx hitch. Will be looking for a different distributer than etrailer in the future for these products. Great product, 5/5, however etrailer did no favors on this product.

Super Duty hitch with enough drop for my 2022 F250 with 6” Lift and 37” tires
Review from a similar Mega Drop Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
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.
Review from a similar Mega Drop Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Great product. Very stout, but also very heavy. Only complaint is the weight, particularly because I am not a full time trailer “tower” so I install/remove frequently. Definitely peace of mind in terms of not having to worry about ball mount issues with 2500#+ tongue weight.

This is great. Heavy duty, quality product. will use to tow my toad behind my RV & bike rack for bikes above tow bar
Review from a similar Mega Drop Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Perfect to be able to haul to the maximum amount for a 350. Its heavy to lift (carry on your shoulder for anything more that 25') but I take that as as sign of a good product
Review from a similar Mega Drop Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Awesome heavy duty hitch, ordered some locking pins for just incase someone felt strong enough to to take it.
Review from a similar Mega Drop Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
The hitch is great except for one problem. The ramp in front of the 2 5/16 ball that is for a pintle hitch is cracking at the weld.
