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 plate. 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 3 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.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Gen Y adjustable two ball mount with two and a half inch stacked receivers. Now this adjustable ball mount is going to let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. This mounting plate is going to attach to your heavy duty tow vehicle or to a hitch-mounted pintle plate. The included two inch or two and five 16th inch hitch balls, they're gonna give you a connection point for your trailer coupler.
And as you can see here, we have 1, 2, 3 stacked, two and a half inch receivers that are going to accept this included ball mount and pinto lock as well as other hitch-mounted accessories. And as you can see, two pins and clips are included with this to secure the accessories to the re the stacked receivers, and the accessory pinhole diameter is five eighths of an inch. And I just wanted to give you a brief demonstration of how to use that pinto lock in case you we inchesre unfamiliar with it. So when you use your two and five 16th inch hitch ball, you can use this to attach a lunette ring. So you would just slide your lunette ring over the two and five 16th inch hitch ball, and then just remove the pin and clip here.
And then that's going to allow you to extend the pin lock there over the lunette ring. And then you'll just replace the pin and clip, and then that'll secure the pinto lock over that ring. And then when you're ready to remove the ring, you can just retract this back into that position like we had it and replace the pin and clip, and remove the lunette ring and use this two and five 16 inch fall for your coupler as you would normally. And so this lunette rate, this pinto lock can actually be removed if you wanted to use that receiver. So that is a really nice addition that they include with this.
You are going to get a maximum drop or a maximum rise of six inches. So of course that adjustable height is going to let you tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. And so that's going, that this is going to be able to lower a rise depending on what you need. The two inch ball has a capacity of 16,000 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 1,500 pounds to two and five 16 inch hitch ball has a gross towing capacity of 21,000 pounds, and a maximum tongue weight of 2,400 pounds. The bolt pattern here is gonna be compatible with most standard pinto plates, and it can be bolted or weld welded directly onto your application.
And if you do weld this, it's probably gonna be a really good idea to remove this finish here to give you a nice clean surface to weld that onto. Let me see if I can give you some measurements of that plate. So looking at the width, about six and a half inches. And then looking at the height, 12 and a half inches. So some other measurements while I got my ruler out here, I wanna give you the measurement from the end of the plate, all the way to the middle of our hitch balls here. So lining that up the best way that I can. It looks like we're sitting right at about seven and three quarters inches. And then just to the end of the mount itself, without the balls, without including the balls there, about four and three quarters inches. This is made here in the USA of a heavy duty steel construction with a zinc primer, and powder coat to resist rust and corrosion. And as you might know, gen Y has a great reputation of building very solid, robust products, and this is no exception to that. This has been built and designed to last, so you're not gonna have to worry about this degrading or anything like that. Gen Y is typically known for overbuilding their product. So this is gonna last you a long time. It's really gonna be a great investment that you are making. This is SAEJ684 certified and it does have a limited lifetime warranty from Gen Y. Well, that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Bolt holes match most standard pintle plates.No worries about overloading my hitch receiver with this bad boy. The quality seems outstanding, stainless pin with anti release pin clip. No shortcuts here.
The hitch was perfect for the job that I was working on.95 bronco,which I mounted it at the front of vehicle so that the customer can move boats around while looking at the front windsheild.Also was able to use it at the rear of vehicle also.Perfect choice.
Works great for towing trailers with different heights of sway bar hitches. The ability to put whatever kind of hitch you want at any height is invaluable, I will probably never have to buy a drop hitch ever again in my life, the construction on this is very stout.
Has done what it is supposed to do. I have used the hitch to tow two boats over the last two years using both ball sizes. The only issue is the appearance. Saltwater creates rust and break down of the coating on the hitch. Was never dunked in salt has been effected being near saltwater. Hitch was washed with freshwater after each use in salt.
I probably wouldn’t buy again. I have seen some other hitches that can do similar adjustments that do better near saltwater environments.
Great price and super fast shipping! The hitch is heavy duty and meets my needs to tow my 35 ft center console. When the trailer is level, the bottom of the ball coupler is 28” off the ground so I needed something with a 10 to 12” rise to compensate for some of the sag in the truck suspension when loaded down by the trailer.
After using it, but they standard trailer the ball hitch cracked did not know who to reach out to called you guys multiple times and no response
This hitch is solid! We used it to flat-tow a Jeep behind our motorhome and use the top slot for the bike rack. It was super solid and performed perfectly during this 4500+ mile trip.
Great prices, great service and excellent staff.
I haven't used the product yet but the service, efficiency and customer experience that I have had at etrailer.com is outstanding! I'm sure that the product will work as intended for my needs. I've installed it on my RV in order to raise the tow receiver after doing a lift on my tow behind vehicle and need to level the tow bar with the new height of the vehicle. I cant express how happy and grateful that I am with etrailer.com. I ordered the product on a Wednesday and had a shipping confirmation within an hour of placing my order. I then received the product within 2 days with plenty of time to spare before our summer road trip. I told Mike B at etrailer that he saved our summer trip and I will be a customer for life!
I've not towed with it yet, but it's very high quality and seems way overbuilt. I like the hammered finish and the components are very nice. Once I figured out how they work, Gen-Y's 'twisting lock pin' is easier to use than a standard cotter pin and adds some piece of mind that it's not going anywhere. Love that you can store the ball mount in front of the hitch when not using it - including sideways so that it doesn't reduce ground clearance, even when in the lowest receiver. The only thing I don't like about it - which etrailer comments on in the online item description - is that it doesn't fit very snug. Combined with the 2-1/2 to 2" reducer sleeve, there's a fair amount of play. Not sure yet if this is going to create rattling when towing (that would reduce my stars). One note: based on the Gen-Y website's method for determining the appropropriate drop for my vehicle, I should have ordered the 10" drop. I did my own measuring and ordered the 7-1/2" drop instead, which works perfectly for my 2021 RAM 3500 SRW 4x4.
Amazing hitch will NEVER buy another! Quality craftsmanship, excellent service from etrailer!
All in all a good set up. A lot more play in the receiver than I expected. Fair amount of rattling around without a trailer attached. In all fairness I do live in a state with poor roads.
Showed up on time. Needed a heavy duty hitch for my lifted super duty. Used for first time today and worked perfectly. My beaver tail landscape trailer has to towed level or it bottoms out. With this hitch no worries about towing level. Great product!
Oh my sweet adjustable hitch from the future, where have you been all my lifted truck life?! ?? Let me tell you, this GenY adjustable hitch is like the superhero sidekick my overgrown, behemoth of a Dodge 1 ton needed to conquer the highways and byways with style, swagger, and an adjustable drop that's got me feeling like a towing wizard!
Picture this: my truck, the size of a small building, with tires that could probably qualify as a down payment for a small country. And then there's the trailer – it's like a mobile home with an identity crisis. Traditional hitches quiver in fear when they see my rig coming, but not the GenY. Nope, this hitch faces my truck's titanic drop with a grin and says, "Bring it on, buddy!"
So, what's the deal with this hitch, you ask? Well, let me break it down for you while keeping my excitement level in check (which is near impossible):
Adjustable Awesomeness: The GenY hitch doesn't just drop – it swoops, it dips, it twirls. Okay, maybe not twirls, but you get the idea. You want to tow your luxury yacht or your miniature house? Boom, this hitch adjusts to whatever mind-boggling height difference you can throw at it.
Zero Drama, All Towing Nirvana: Remember the time when towing made your truck feel like it was dragging a herd of elephants through a mud pit? Yeah, those days are over. With the GenY hitch, my Dodge struts its stuff like a runway model with a trailer in tow. Smooth as butter, I tell you. Smooth as butter!
Weightlifting Champion: I swear, I've pulled everything short of a small planet with this hitch. The GenY hitch handles weight like a pro wrestler handles dumbbells – effortlessly! No creaks, no groans, just a confident "I got this" vibe that makes me want to challenge it to a bench press competition. (Spoiler: I'd lose.)
Confidence Booster: Have you ever seen a truck hitch that oozes confidence? Well, you're about to! Every time I back up to my trailer, I can practically hear my hitch saying, "Don't worry, buddy, I've got your back!" And it does, every single time.
Conversation Starter: I can't tell you how many times people have walked by my truck and trailer combo, only to do a double-take at the hitch. It's like having a celebrity accessory for my truck. Sometimes, I feel like rolling down my window and saying, "Oh, this? It's just my GenY – no big deal!"
In conclusion, my GenY adjustable hitch is not just a hitch – it's a legendary partner in crime for my lifted Dodge adventure-mobile. If my truck could write reviews, it would probably leave an even longer, more passionate review than this. But for now, take my word for it – if you're towing with a truck that's on the verge of having its own postcode, get yourself a GenY hitch and let the good times (and the trailers) roll!
This thing is a monster, going to be perfect for what I got it for, had to have a 12 inch rise for flat towing our 2021 raised Jeep wrangler. looked all over for something strong enough for the job, and this beast is perfect.
Holy crap, thing is built like a tank. Needed it to lower my front mount to accommodate a ebike rack. Worked great!
This item is so universal also a good deflector if you might get rear ended! Perfect fit for my 2013 Nissan Rogue. Thank you etrailer.com Very good Engineering... William
Well built receiver & it got me to the perfect height for towing My Jeep LJ on 37" tires.
etrailer had everything I needed including great service & awesome installation videos.
Amazing thing is a beast best hitch I’ve ever owned I’ll probably never buy another one
I have a three-inch lift kit on my truck, and it dropped it down to the perfect level I need to tow my car hauler trailer.
Very heavy duty stacked receiver and dual ball. Combined with the stabilizer bars i feel safe hauling my trailers. Still able to use my other hitches with this receiver too.
Sturdy piece of equipment. Will be with me for years. Not your regular hitch, a little on the heavy side as expected since it's rated to 16k lbs towing capacity.
Doesn't come with the locking pin but at this price you might want to buy your own pin with a locking device to deter unnecessary theft.
Towed my 12k pound trailer with about a 1500 lb tongue weight without issues.
Order the used one and came in excellent shape
You guys have always done good business. Keep up the good work.
