TowSmart Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - TS64FR

Highlights

  • 5,000 lbs GTW for Everyday Trailers: Handles small campers, boats, or utility trailers safely.
  • 2" Rise or 3-1/4" Drop for Level Towing: Lets you match trailer height for balanced hauling.
  • Includes Ball and Lock Kit: Comes with a 2" hitch ball, receiver lock, and two keys ready to tow.
  • Built-In Lockrail for Easy Setup: Allows torquing the ball with one wrench and stops rotation.
  • XMount Channels Prevent Seizing: Design pushes out moisture so the shank won’t stick in the hitch.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Black powder-coated mount and chrome-plated ball stand up to road salt.

Features to know about

Prevents Hitch Seizing: Patented XMount Channels Away Moisture

Nothing’s worse than pulling a hitch that’s locked up from rust or moisture buildup. The TowSmart Towing Starter Kit uses a patented XMount design that channels away moisture to minimize seizing inside the receiver. That means when it’s time to remove or switch setups, the mount slides out cleanly without fighting corrosion.

Simplifies Setup and Ball Installation: Built-In Lockrail System

Getting the ball torqued down right usually takes two wrenches or an extra set of hands. The built-in Lockrail system works as a “built-in wrench,” holding the hitch ball steady while you tighten or loosen it. It’s simple, saves time, and keeps you from chasing tools around the garage.

Keeps Your Trailer Level and Secure: 2" Rise and 3-1/4" Drop

Matching your trailer height makes all the difference in how steady it tows. This mount gives you a 2" rise and a 3-1/4" drop so you can line things up for balanced towing. The 2" hitch ball connects cleanly with common couplers, rated for 5,000 lbs gross towing weight and 500 lbs tongue weight for everyday hauls like small campers or utility trailers.

Fights Corrosion and Theft: Powder-Coated Mount with Chrome-Plated Hardware

Road spray and weather can take a toll on towing gear, but this kit is made to last. The black powder-coated ball mount and chrome-plated hitch ball resist rust and grime over time. It also includes a hitch receiver lock with a watertight dust cap and two keys to help keep your setup secure when parked.

Reduces Unwanted Movement: Compatible with Anti-Rattle Accessories

Even solid mounts can have a bit of play in the receiver, which means noise on rough roads. Pairing this kit with an accessory like the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007 tightens everything down to limit rattling and movement, keeping your tow quiet and steady.

Was pleased to see product was NOT made in China. Well packaged, excellent starter kit for towing. X design to eliminate rattles that plagued square section hitches.
Well done.

Works exactly as expected after an on-time delivery - etrailer makes it easy.

Excellent buy with hitch lock. Works fine. I really like the way the TowSmart ball mount is manufactured, and the way the base of the ball essentially locks-in on the top side of the ball mount making it easy to tighten the nut without having to hold the ball. Very satisfied.

It will work; The quality is there for what it is. For the price I paid.
Will it break; NO. The welds are good.

Tyra F from etrailer personally called me to inform me I had ordered the incorrect wiring harness and ball mount for the hitch I ordered to go on my 2020 SUV. Tyra helped me order the correct parts while on the phone and also helped me select the best method of shipping for my needs. I’ll definitely recommend eTrailer based solely on their high level of customer service!!

  • CURT C45134 Fusion Ball Mount Drop Measurement Clarification
    Great question, Carlos! You are correct that Curt lists part # C45134 as having a 2" drop. The difference appears to be how the measurement is being taken. Curt measures the drop from the top of the ball mount shank to the ball platform, which gives the 2" measurement. Our listing measured from the top inside edge of the vehicle's receiver opening to the ball platform, which results in the 2-1/4" measurement. I would say to be on the safe side I wouldn't factor in that extra 1/4". If...

  • Anti-Rattle for TowSmart Towing Starter Kit for 2 Inch Hitches
    The TowSmart kit is not going to have additional rattle due to it's shape, but without an anti-rattle device, all ball mounts are going to be subject to some movement and noise. Due to that, I do recommend adding an accessory to limit the rattling of the TowSmart Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches # TS64FR. The perfect option for this is the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007. It's a simple clamp-on device that tightens the shank in your hitch to minimize any...

  • Ball Mount For Curt Trailer Hitch on 2023 Lexus GX 460
    I can't speak to the issue with your OEM ball mount, but for your 2023 Lexus GX 460, any standard ball mount for a 2" receiver will fit the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13043. It just depends on the rise or drop you need, but two options are the TowSmart Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball - 2" Rise, 3-1/4" Drop # TS64FR or 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop # TS94FR. Both of these come with the ball mount, 2" hitch ball, and hitch lock. If you need a different rise or drop I've added a link...

  • Trailer Wiring Kit Recommendation for a 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan
    The wiring I recommend for your 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan is the ZCI kit from Tekonsha: - ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT This is a universal kit but what separates this from other universal options are the clamps used to make your wiring connections. Other kits use butt connectors so you have to literally cut the OEM wiring on your vehicle but the clamps are able to "sense" when to send power back to the trailer lighting. To get you setup for towing I recommend...

  • Availability of Ball Mount With 3" Rise/Drop
    I'm not sure if you're looking for a 3" rise or drop but we have options for both so you don't need to worry about being off by an inch. For a ball mount with a 3" rise you can use the # 40331. You will also need # C48810 for a 1-7/8", # A-90 for a 2", or # 19286 for a 2-5/16" hitch ball. If you need a drop you can use the # TS64FR. This has a 3-1/4" drop but the 1/4" difference won't be noticeable.

  • Availability of Ball Mount With 3 Rise/Drop
    I'm not 100% sure what you need here but I will assume you're looking for a ball mount for a 2" hitch that either has a 3" rise or a 3" drop. If you need a 3" drop we have the Curt RockerBall Anti-Rattle Towing Kit # C63KR which has a 3" drop exactly or the TowSmart # TS64FR with a 3-1/4" drop which won't be an issue. If you're looking for a 3" rise you can use the Curt # C45313. This doesn't come with a ball so you can use the # A-90 for a 2" ball or # 19286 for a 2-5/16" ball.
