Now you can easily use your hitch-mounted accessories without having to take off your ball mount! This hitch features a robust, powder coated steel double-sided tow ball and a built-in 2" receiver for your bike rack or cargo carrier.
Features:
Specs:
Note: The built-in receiver on this hitch is for accessories only. Do not use the receiver to tow a trailer or to perform recovery operations.
The 180 Pro has receiver capabilities right on the front, opening up a world of accessory options. Just pop out the rubber stopper and you are ready to use your bike rack, cargo carrier, or another hitch mounted accessory.
Towing trailers with different coupler sizes just got easier thanks to the 180 Pro Hitch 2-ball mount. This ball mount features powder coated carbon steel 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls on opposite ends of the ball mount platform. Switching between balls is fast and easy - pull out the dual pins and remove the platform from the shank and simply flip over the platform so that either the 2" or 2-5/16" hitch ball is on top. Slide it back up along the shank to the desired height and reinsert the dual pins, hitch up, and go! Because both balls are contained on the platform, you won't have to keep track of separate balls that must be completely removed and installed each time you need to switch trailers.
This ball mount's convenient stowable design keeps the ball mount platform out of your way when you're not towing. To stow the ball mount platform, simply pull out the dual pins and remove the platform from the shank. Place the ball mount platform on the backside of the shank facing your vehicle. Reinsert the dual pins to attach the platform to the shank. The 180 Pro Hitch can be used in either the drop or rise position to best suit your application.

Hello, neighbors. Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our Weigh Safe steel 180 PRO drop hitch for a 2 /12 inch by 2 1/2 inch shank. Now folks, you're gonna get two balls on this unit. The 10,000 pound one is rated at, the two inch rather is rated 10,000 pounds while the 2 5/16 inch ball is rated at 22,000 pounds because this is all a steel unit. Now the max tongue weight is 2,200 pounds.
And I wanna zoom in here and show you some quick dimensions or give you some rather. From the center of the hitch pin ball to the center of this first pin hole is eight inches on center, and if you go to the farthest hole away, it's 9 1/8 inches on center. Now from the back of the shank to the center of this first hole from the back, it is about 2 3/8 inches on center, while the back of the shank to the center of this pin hole is 3 1/2 inches. Now you will need a 5/8 inch pin that's sold separately to complete the connection point here on your tow vehicle. If you don't have one or you need a locking one even, we sell those separately here at etrailer.com.
Now the whole unit here is a nice powder coated carbon steel construction. It's super hardened, it's super durable, it's V5 and J684-certified. As far as the locking part, the rubber cover here just pops off. That's gonna keep dirt, debris, and grime out of the keyhole. You get two tubular keys.
You simply put it in and unlock it and that will allow you to pull this dual pin out. Now that's a hardened steel construction as well. It's very heavy, no one's gonna break into that. And right now we got the two inch hitch ball. So we need to go to the 2 5/16 let's say, simply pop the head unit up and off and then simply turn it over 180 degrees and pop it right back in place.
Now the lock pin is gonna be on my side since we did swap things over, and let's actually go up one more so it's level a little bit better. And again, you simply put this in place, lock it back in place and then you are good to go with your 2 5/16 inch ball. And then the same thing, the dust cover just simply pops over there protecting everything from dirt, grime, debris, that kind of stuff. So again, took me what, 20, 30 seconds at tops to swap that over. So very simple to use. You also get a nice rubber plug here in the front. So this is a very shallow insert here. From the outside to the inside is 4 1/2 inches until I hit the front face of this unit. And the center of that hole to the outside is 1 1/4 inches on center from that hole out. So again, 1 1/4 inches on center. Now you could potentially put a hitch accessory in there, but they recommend only hitch accessories, and that is a two inch by two inch accessory hole. And again, they recommend just accessories. You're not supposed to be putting another tow ball in there, anything like that, it's not rated for that. So maybe a bike rack or something like that would be fine, but again, you are kind of limited to the depth here as far as how deep you can go. So just keep that in mind. Again, you get a nice rubber plug here to keep everything in place, keep dirt and stuff out of there as well. Well folks, I think that's gonna wrap it up for our quick look at the Weigh Safe steel 180 PRO. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.
Best bang for a buck!
great hitch - going to order a second o ne
Exactly what I ordered
It is exactly what is was described as. I have a 2010 GM Canyon and my new trailer is setup for off road use. My existing hitch made it so I had a lot of tongue weight, this weigh safe hitch allows me to get more balanced with the ability to flip it and get correct height for whatever I am hauling behind me
Great solid hitch. Love the fact there’s an extra spot where I can attach my bike rack to it without having to swap out the hitch.
This thing is built like a tank awesome awesome awesome
