Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a quick look at this Gen-Y adjustable, two-ball mount with stacked receivers. This adjustable ball mount is going to allow you to hook up to your trailer so that you can tow with your tow vehicle. This is going to slide right in to your 2 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver on your vehicle, and then it will provide either a two inch ball or a 2 5/16 inch ball to connect to your trailer. You can add on a pintle lock here if you're wanting to use a lunette ring. That is sold separately but that would give you a third option for what kind of trailer you can tow.
Our two-inch ball is going to have a gross towing weight capacity of 16,000 pounds, which is gonna be the trailer and the load included. It's got a maximum tongue weight, which is the downward pressure on the ball, of 1,500 pounds. Our 2 5/16 inch ball is going to have a gross towing weight of 21,000 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 3,000 pounds. And so, very heavy duty options there for you. You can see we do have three stacked 2 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch receivers, so we can move our two-ball mount to any of those settings or we can use any other hitch mount accessories that we might be wanting to use.
This adjustability is going to be really nice for making sure that we can accommodate different heights with trailers. So, not all trailers are set at the same height, obviously, and you wanna make sure that your trailer's gonna be nice and level as you're towing, so having that adjustability there is gonna make sure that if you're towing one trailer then you go to tow another one, it's very easy to switch from one to the other. So, from the top of our shank here down to our bottom platform, which is where our coupler's gonna sit on top of the ball, is right about six inches of drop. So, if you are wanting to hook up to a trailer that's, the coupler sits a little bit lower than your hitch, you're gonna have six inches there. You can also flip this over and have six inches of rise, if your trailer sits a little bit higher than your hitch.
So, lots of adjustment there. You can see that this does have a pinhole for each of your accessories. That's just a standard 5/8 inch pinhole, the same as our pinholes back here that will attach our ball mount to our hitch, same 5/8 inch. They do include two pens and clips so that you can use one to get your ball, two-ball mount connected and then also connect the whole unit to your hitch on your vehicle. This is a nice, heavy duty, steel construction.
Gen-Y has a reputation for building very heavy duty components. This is no different. It's very heavy so it's gonna definitely do a good job of being very sturdy for you. It's got a zinc primer with powder coat finish to help resist corrosion and last you a nice long time. This does meet the SAE J684 certification so you can trust it's gonna do a good job, hold up well for you. It is made here in the U.S.A., so you can trust it's made to the high quality standards that we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the U.S. And like I said, Gen-Y does have a really strong reputation for kinda over-building their products so this is definitely gonna be a very sturdy, durable option for you if you're wanting to tow and have that adjustability, this is gonna be a great option for you. You might want to think about adding on a locking pin if you don't already have one, just to make sure that you get a little extra security, either for one or both of these to make sure that no one's gonna be able to come along and just kind of pull of the pin and clip and take off with your trailer or ball mount. We do have those available here at etrailer.com, as well as lots of other towing accessories. So, if you need anything else, be sure to check that out. But this is gonna do a really good job for you if you've got that 2 1/2 inch hitch and you're wanting to tow. So, that's gonna complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Insert this heavy-duty mount into your 2-1/2" hitch to get 3 stacked 2-1/2" receivers for mounting the included 2" ball, 2-5/16" ball, or other hitch-mounted accessory.Seems to be an impressive product. But even more impressed with the purchase experience. Great price, great freight policy, it was packed protectively and arrived way ahead of schedule. I’ll be looking for more products to buy from this etrailer.
Review from a similar Rubber Torsion Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
First impression massive, heavy Built Stout. My truck is always hooked to a trailer so I figured I would try a nicer set up I was using the B&W which is great for the average Joe that just needs to pull a trailer every now and then but this is a whole new world first trailer I pulled with It I could feel the difference right away it was smoother the vibrations and harsh thump feelings that I would normally get when pulling the trailers when I hit rough roads or bumps was not as bad or gone. It definitely made a huge difference super easy to move height if needed and an added bonus I didn’t think of is that it pushes the trailer back further so you can get a little tighter turning when backing up if needed and i can open the tailgate and it won’t hit the jack on the trailer. On top of that when people see it it’s a conversation starter There are not many of these out there so they are intrigued by the size and how it works. Bottom line in my opinion if you’re towing all the time it is worth the investment. I would invest in another.
Review from a similar Rubber Torsion Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Solid 6” drop hitch that is extremely heavy but well made. Very smooth with bigger loads. Required some modification to my Fab Four bumper for proper fit. I gave it four stars because my hitch didn’t have the set screw option as advertised. 03 Duramax 2500hd with six inch lift, 35” tires 16000lb Curtis receiver (well made five stars)
Review from a similar Rubber Torsion Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Great service. I made a mistake and ordered the wrong item. I was bummed there was a restocking fee but it was my mistake so I cant be to mad. They were very responsive on correcting the order. Hitch definitely seems super well built.
Review from a similar Rubber Torsion Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Quality product. Very Robust. I bought this hoping to dampen some of the shock my truck, which is about 15,000 lbs, transmits to my boat, which is about 8500 lbs, thinking it may help with the boat's longevity. It helps with big shocks for sure, but the hitch needs to be in the top 2/3rds of its rated capacity to noticeably dampen the shock between your trailer and tow rig. It works wonders on my loaded dump trailer.
Review from a similar Rubber Torsion Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Best hitch ever... performs above and beyond as advertised. Will never use straight or drop hitch again. We pull our bobcat up the 4wd drive beaches of North Carolina which are often bumpy. This hitch separated the trailer movement from the truck. Well worth the money. Do it once and never do it again!
Review from a similar Rubber Torsion Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Very nice, well built hitch, but the torsion part of it only works well when towing near the upper load limit of the hitch. Buy the same hitch without the torsion if you are not going to be pulling heavy loads near hitch capacity. You'll save lots!
Review from a similar Rubber Torsion Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
This thing is built like a tank. I have towed a few items that have been reasonably heavy (although not at 21,000lbs). I can say that it does a good job at limiting the aftershock of terrible roads that I have been on. It does a good job and is easily versatile to use with the adjustments available. The hitch should endure travels towing for quite a long time considering how well it is built.

Review from a similar Rubber Torsion Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Great product Takes away the jerking sensations of speed bumps and the occasional pothole. When you do hit a bump at speed it takes a while for the flexing to settle back into a smooth ride. I equate the feeling like being in a boat. Now that I’m used to it it’s hardly noticeable.

Review from a similar Rubber Torsion Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
My brother and my son recommended this to me. I got to ride along with my son as he hauled a 10,000 lb. camper. Wow! I couldn’t believe the difference it made in the ride! The ride was so much smoother not to mention the wear and tear it saves on the tow vehicle! I’m impressed with the service from etrailer also. The package arrived in great condition, everything was there, and it even came a day earlier than expected! I highly recommend them!!!
