Video Transcript for Review of Weigh Safe Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - 180 Hitch 2 Ball Mount 2 Inch Cerakote - WS35VR

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Weigh Safe 180 Hitch with 2-ball mount for your two inch trailer hitch receiver. This 180 Hitch is going to slide into your two inch receiver, and it's going to give you a two inch and a 2 5/16 inch double-sided stainless steel tow ball, making switching tow ball sizes very easy for you, so you can tow trailers of different types, whether that's a small utility trailer, a camper, or a boat trailer. This dual functionality is going to eliminate the need for multiple hitches. Now, this is also going to give you, when you have the shank in this orientation, a maximum drop of six inches. And then when you flip this over, you'll get a maximum rise of seven inches with an incremental adjustment of one inch.

So this is going to give you that height adjustability that you need, so you can tow trailers at different heights, all with the same vehicle. Now, with the 2 5/16 inch hitch ball, you're gonna get a gross towing weight of 12,500 pounds. And then with the two inch ball, 8,000 pounds. And the maximum tongue weight is going to be 1,500 pounds. Now, taking a closer look at this hitch, this is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum, so this is going to give you superior strength and durability.

This black Cerakote finish is a premium finish. It's a ceramic coating that's going to give you an extra layer of corrosion resistance, scratch protection, and durability. Not only does this finish make this hitch look great, but if you tow in harsh environments, such as salty winter roads or extreme weather conditions, this durable finish is going to help protect this hitch, but it's also gonna help keep it looking great on the back of your vehicle and help it to continue to work properly for many years to come. Now, this does feature a dual pin slider lock that's going to make adjusting the height and switching the ball very easily. So I'm just gonna go ahead and take one of the keys here, and go ahead and insert into the lock, give it a turn.

Then that's going to unlock it, allow me to remove this. While I have this removed, I just wanna show you that our dual pins here and our housing is aluminum, and then our lock is plated steel. So this is really gonna hold up well against the elements, you're not gonna have to worry about corrosion. I'm gonna turn that key back to the locked position, and I'm gonna go ahead and remove it. And then, I want you to notice just how easy it is to adjust the height of this ball platform.

This is a very smooth operation. And then I'm just gonna flip this over to the two inch ball just like that. And then let me go ahead and rotate this, and I'm gonna slide that slider lock back in position. So if you remember, I put that in the locked position, I remove the key. I'm gonna line up my holes here. And then if you noticed, all I have to do is push, and then that's going to lock and secure that in place. So you're not going to be at the back of your vehicle struggling to make the adjustment that you need or get the ball size that you need. It's gonna be very smooth. This does include that rubber cover that's going to protect that keyway for that slider lock. And then a really great addition to this setup is going to be this hitch pin lock. And this also has a cap here. You are going to get four keys. Everything is keyed alike, so one key is going to be able to operate both of these locks. So that adds to the convenience of this. But what I wanted to show you is I'm going to turn that key back to the locked position. Go ahead and close our cap. So my head is locked here. And then when I'm ready to lock this back up, all I have to do is push it firmly into place, and we're locked back up. So again, you're not gonna need that key to stay in that lock to lock it. Again, very easy, very convenient, and you'll be ready to go down the road. So let me give you some measurements here in case you're wondering. From the center of the first hitch pin hole to the center of the ball, we're sitting at about 8 1/2 inches. And then from the second hitch pin hole, the center of the second hitch pin hole to the center of our ball, about 9 5/8 inches. And then from the center of our second hitch pin hole to the end of the shank, about 1 7/8 inches. This is SAE J684 certified and VESC Regulations V-5 compliant. So if you are looking for a hitch that's going to be a great long-term investment for you that is going to give you versatility, safety, durability, and ease of use, as we saw here together today, this hitch is going to be an excellent option for you to consider. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
