Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Gen Y adjustable two ball mount with two inch stacked receivers. Now this adjustable ball mount is going to let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The mounting plate is going to attach your heavy duty tow vehicle or to a hitch-mounted pintle plate. The two inch ball or two and 2 5/16th inch ball, they're gonna provide connection points for your trailer coupler.
And the two stacked two inch receivers are going to accept this included ball mount and pintle lock, as well as other hitch mounted accessories. Two pins and clips are included with this. And in case you don't know how this pintle lock works, you're just gonna use your 2 5/16 inch hitch ball. You'll drop your lunette ring over the ball and then just remove the clip here and the pin. And then that's going to allow you to extend that pintle lock over that ring.
And then you'll be able to secure it with the pin and clip and that'll keep that ring into place. And then when you just want to use it as a regular ball for your coupler, you can retract that pintle lock and secure it again with the pin and clip and then that'll be outta your way. And then if you need to use this receiver, you can just take that pintle lock completely out and maybe drop it down into the the bottom receiver so it's outta your way. Secure it with the pin and clip as well. So it's always handy, always there for you.
The accessory pinhole diameter is 5/8 of an inch. This is going to give you a maximum drop of about 2 1/2 inches. That adjustable height is going to let you obviously tow trailers at different heights with the same vehicle. The drop ball mount will lower or rise to match your application. This has a gross towing weight of 16,000 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 2000 pounds.
And that bolt pattern diameter is going to be compatible with most standard pintle plates. And this can be bolted or even welded directly onto your application. If you do weld this on, it's gonna be a good idea to sand that finish off. Looking at the width of that plate, six inches, the height, right at about eight and a half inches. Lemme see if I can give you some other measurements here. I'm gonna first of all give you the total length here from the end of our mounting plate to the center of the ball. Hopefully you can see that there, looks like we're sitting right at about seven and a quarter inches. And then again, from the end of that mounting plate to the end of our mount there, if you don't include the balls, we're sitting around about four and a quarter inches or so. So this is made here in the USA of a heavy duty steel construction with this zinc primer and powder coat to help resist corrosion. If you don't know, Gen Y has a great reputation of building very solid, very robust products, and this is no exception to that. This is gonna hold up really well for you, give you many, many years of good service. This is SAE J6 84 certified, and this does have a limited lifetime warranty from Gen Y. Well, I think 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 or weld this heavy-duty mount onto your vehicle to get 2 stacked 2" receivers for mounting the included 2" ball, 2-5/16" ball, pintle hook, or other hitch-mounted accessory. Bolt hole pattern matches most standard pintle plates.Just received my new hitch and my first impressions is that this is a very stout hitch. The hitch is very heavy, so I won’t be taking it off and on much. I’ll leave the stacked receiver on the truck, I had a locking pin to secure it to the truck. I will store the 2-ball mount in the cab for now until I get some locking pins. Don’t want to become a victim of theft! When I obtain the locking pins, I will leave the balls attached. If you want a very stout adjustable hitch, I definitely recommend this Gen-Y hitch. Can’t wait to test it out on the road!
I wanted to be able to tow any trailer with a single hitch and that is why I purchased this model. Any size ball and pintle hitch all in one implement is great.... the drawback, this thing weights a lot. I don't like leaving the hitch on the truck if I'm not towing, but this thing is too heavy to move and I'm worried about this much weight bending the toolbox on the truck if I hit a bump.
For measurement purposes... This is a 2000 F-350 4x4 on stock 16" rims and tires and a CM flatbed. I got the 5" drop\rise model and it looks like it is going to be great. In case i need it, I added the 1 7/8" ball to the drawbar. When I can afford to get three matched key pins I will order them.
The Gen-Y hitch is a beast and should last forever. It weights approx 55 lbs. Haven’t had a chance to use it yet and I hope that it doesn’t rust like I have seen in some reviews on YouTube etc. My big disappointment is the fact that it does not take my 2 1/2” to 2” sleeve (the 2 ball mount is 2 1/2”) so I can use another hitch with it to move a small trailer that rides lower than this hitch goes. I even talked to someone at Gen-Y to verify that it would work. They said it would. IT DOES NOT. To much pain to send it back. I’m sure I would have to pay shipping.
It’s heavy duty. I think it weighs as much as my equalizer hitch. I just got a new truck so we’ll see on a hitch height but on my old truck I wish I’d gotten the hitch with one height up so I had more adjustment and so it’s off hitting the ground. Oh well I tried guessing. I should of listened to the spirit. But a great heavy duty hitch.
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.
Overall the hitch is heavy duty and solid. I have ready some reviews about the Pintle option and have used mine for the first time towing an empty trailer. It is showing some wear behind the ball where the wedge is welded. I will try it with a load and see how it holds up.
i hate to give a negative review but for the money it should not have that excessive amount of wear with it’s first use.
I have a curt hitch with the Pintle and it has worked perfectly. I was looking for something that had a better curb appeal with the Gen Y.
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.
Pretty nice. Definitely heavy duty. By chance it is even color matched to my truck. I will probably change out the ball pin it’s to long and the twistie pin seems like it could fail if it’s vibrating to much.
This is a well built long lasting hitch.
Love this hitch receiver, best quality. Super fast shipping
Its stout and pulls my 7X16 foot enclosed trailer, fully loaded with 8,000 pounds, without any issue. I don't even know that its back there. I have a diesel Ram 2500 with an 8 inch lift and the hitch drops level with the trailer. 5 stars!!
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'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.
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!
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.
Product is pretty awesome. very well built. We use in the marine shop for towing 42-50ft 25k+ boats. This is the first product to withstand the requirments. The pintle is so simple and keeps the shop truck from having to swap a standard ball and P-hook between different trailer applications. Highly recommend for the serious user. Its HEAVY so handling the product is a chore but reliability is definatly there. if you buy locking pin for hitch, buy the strongest you can find. We damaged one with this product.
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!
I used adjustable ball mount to haul a tow dolly and also carry a hitch haul with wood. It worked great.
Great hitch works flawlessly. Easy to configure any ball height
Or size. negative is the grey paint and decals flaked off and it is rusting in first 6 months.
Amazing hitch will NEVER buy another! Quality craftsmanship, excellent service from etrailer!
