Specs:
Towing trailers with different coupler sizes just got easier thanks to the 180 Hitch 2-ball mount. This ball mount features a 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball on opposite ends of the ball mount platform. Switching to the opposite ball is fast and easy - simply flip over the platform, 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.
Adjusting and setting up the 180 Hitch 2-ball mount to work with your specific trailer is easy. To switch hitch balls, unlock and pull out the dual pins and remove the platform from the shank. Next, flip the platform 180 degrees so that either the 2" or 2-5/16" hitch ball is on top. Then replace the platform and slide it along the shank to the desired height. Insert the dual pins and use one of the included keys to lock the pins in place. A dual-sided hitch ball with a 1-7/8" and a 2" hitch ball (TB03 - sold separately) is also available.
The 180 Hitch 2-ball mount can be used in either the drop or rise position to best suit your application.
Superior Aluminum and Stainless Steel Construction
From the first moment that you lay eyes on the 180 Hitch you'll see that you're getting a superior, well-made product. The 180 Hitch's shank and ball mount platform are made entirely of 6061 T6 billet aluminum, which is the same material that is used to build aircraft components, automobile frames, and freight liners. This type of aluminum is known for having superior strength while maintaining its light weight, which makes it highly desirable over hollow steel components. 6061 T6 aluminum is also rustproof, which means the 180 Hitch will maintain its clean, shiny, and impressive appearance for years to come. And the hitch balls are made of solid stainless steel, offering far greater protection against rust and corrosion than other steel hitch balls that are only painted or plated on the surface.
The 180 Hitch meets VESC V-5 regulations and is SAE J684 certified. These regulatory bodies - the Vehicle Equipment Safety Commission and the Society for Automotive Engineers - create standards for the design, construction, and performance of automotive and towing accessories. Weigh Safe has had this ball mount thoroughly tested in simulation to ensure that it complies with these standards. The result is a strong, safe, sturdy product that is built to last.

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at a 180 hitch two ball mount for three inch hitches. One of the neat things about this mount, is you do not need to use a reducer sleeve or anything like that to go down to a smaller shank ball mount. This is a true three inch shank, so it fits into a receiver that has a three inch by three inch opening.Now this ball mount with the included hitch balls, lets you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank slides into the receiver tube of your vehicle, and the hitch balls provide the connection point for your trailer. So again it slides into the receiver tube of the hitch that's on the vehicle, and then you have your hitch balls.Now you have two hitch balls with this unit, two and 5/16ths and a two inch ball. This does feature the adjustable height design, so that's going to let you tow trailers of different heights using the same vehicle and the same mount.
All you have to do, is remove this cap right here that gives us access to the dual locking pin assembly, place the key in, move it to an unlocked position. Then we can take our mount and we can slide it anywhere, up and down, along our adjustable shank. Once we have the setting we need for our application, we line up the pin holes and secure it by reinstalling the dual pin assembly.Again, it does have the two differently sized hitch balls that lets you tow trailers with different coupler sizes, two inch and two and 5/16ths inch. To switch between the hitch balls, again make sure the pins are removed. Then you can take this, you can slide it off the bottom, or you can slide it off the top either way.
You flip it over, and then reinstall it. That's all you got to do to switch between the hitch balls, take the platform off, rotate it, reinstall it.So it's a really nice easy to use design. When it comes to an adjustable mount, I really like the aluminum construction because it's lightweight, making it a lot easier to handle. And we can move that back to a locked position, and nobody's going to be able to remove the platform from our shank.So that's locked into place, and that does come with this rubber boot goes over it, keeps dirt, and grime, and moisture out of our lock core.That locking dual pin assembly is a really nice feature to have. Again, it locks the platform to the shank for added security.
It's a plated steel lock with aluminum pins and housing, so it's corrosion resistant, rust resistant, and it does come with two keys.Now the rest of the mount, is made from a 6061 T6 bill aluminum, basically that's the shank and the mounting platform. The hitch balls are stainless steel. But the aluminum design, provides superior strength and durability. We're looking at a solid block construction, provides greater strength than hollow steel competitors while also maintaining a lightweight design, and a lightweight mount.Also, it's completely rust proof for a clean finish that stands the test of time. Again, your hitch balls are stainless steel so you don't have to worry about any of that chrome finishing flaking off and then rusting, stainless steel from outermost point to the innermost point through and through on those hitch balls.Now you will need a hitch pin and clip, or a hitch lock to secure this inside the receiver tube of your hitch.
That is sold separately. If you need one, check out some options at etrailer.com. This unit is SAEJ6A4 certified, and VESC regulations, V-5 compliant.When it comes to the application, again it's designed for a three inch by three inch trailer hitch receiver. Gross towing weight capacity, with the two and 5/16ths inch ball is 21000 pounds, with the two inch ball it's 8000 pounds. Maximum tongue weight for the unit, is 2200 pounds.We took a measurement from the center of the hitch ping hole going at a straight line to the center of the hitch balls and got a measurement, of about 8-3/4 inches. If you're using this in the drop position, which is this position here with the mount at the lowest setting, it's going to give you a maximum drop of around 10 inches, that's from the inside of top edge of the receiver tube of your hitch down to the top of the ball platform.You can flip it over and use it in the rise position, in which case it's going to give you a maximum rise, when in the highest setting, of 10 inches. So max drop of 10, maximum rise of 10 inches. And then these holes are separated apart from one another on center by one inch, so that is your incremental height adjustment.The product is made in the USA, and it's covered with a limited lifetime warranty.That's going to do it for today's look, at the 180 hitch two ball mount for three inch hitches.

Ball platform locks to shank.Exactly what I was looking for and great service with info and shipping times.
Awesome beefy looking hitch. Thanks!
Fit and finish is wonderful. The quality is better than expected, down to the finish on the balls. Made in USA! Bought the hutch for a super duty with a 4.5in lift, had enough drop for a 16ft lowboy.
Awesome
Nice hitch
Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
After 3 months one of the trailer chains bonds against the hitch while taking a shape turn and bent the key to flip the receiver ball. So we are basically stuck with a 2 5/16 receiver since it cannot be opened and flipped. Aluminum is nice but weak at the same time.
Jenny N - 01/05/2022Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
One hitch for ALL my towing needs! The product has a great design and is very well made; I would highly recommend it to others wanting to reduce clutter in their truck tool box. With this product, you need only to carry one highly configurable hitch. The hitch is designed to adjust drop(raise) height in seconds.

Simple and easy to switch to another trailer with a different ball size and height. Only negative thing I can say is I would prefer a little tighter fit into the receiver.
Bob O - 04/09/2021Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Guess I should read the product description more closely. This unit doesn’t contain a scale. I don’t need it, just assumed it had one. The hitch itself is good. I haven’t used it with my enclosed 14’ trailer yet too see how much of any the wind sway is reduced. I’ve towed my 14’ 10k flatbed loaded a few times. The new hitch has reduced bounce a sway a tremendous amount. This trailer has surge/hydraulic brakes which normally makes for a jerky pull.
Timothy - 01/24/2022Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I use this hitch daily to pull my 7X12 cargo dual axle trailer with my Mercedes GL350 Blutec. I needed the extra length for the shaft since it is going in my SUV, which is tucked under the rear bumper. The adjustable ball height is perfect as well. Previously I had a cheap hitch from Uhaul with the ball turned up and was not the correct height. This was well worth the money.

Rock solid! Worth every penny

Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Haven't really towed a lot with it yet but I have no doubt it will hold up well. I lost the rubber cap that covers the keyhole but so far it is still working, even with the salt and slop of upstate New York's roads. Hopefully lock continues working.
Cleason - 02/07/2022Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
etraier's order processing and shipping was fast! The order was easy and accurate to track. Fit and finish is second to none. No more searching for the correct ball size!! When assembled to the truck receiver there is zero movement and towing with it is actually quiet. I highly recommend etrailer and the weigh safe 180 2 ball mount!!
Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I just received my 2.5" receiver 180 - 2 ball mount hitch, along with the hitch receiver lock. I could not be happier with this product. The manufacturing is flawless with a beautifully machined and finished end product. This thing is beautiful! It's a solid chunk of Aluminum with Stainless Steel hitch balls, and is machined so the ball mount may be reversed and stored to the back side of the drop. No more bashed shins walking around the truck! I couldn't ask for a better finish on this ball mount. I now have a beast of a hitch to put to work on my beast of a truck.
Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
The Cadillac of hitches. I was tossed between this aluminum Weigh Safe 180 hitch or the BW Tiw and Stow Hitches.
Overall the Weigh Safe 180 won out because I wanted aluminum hitch and stainless balls that won’t rust. Iam tired of touch up painted and clean rust off of steel balls and steel hitches.
Stop and go works with both hitches if you buy the longer versions.
I got the 3” adjustable hitch because it does everything I need it for and for added ground clearance compared to if you buy the longer version.
Overall perfect. Get the lockable hitch pin. Also always add a generous amount of grease. I use bearing grease on the hitch shaft that is inside the truck receiver. I also put a tab of grease over the key locking points and use the dust covers to combat rust and moisture.
Super fast delivery.
Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Hitch is heavy duty and easy to change couple heights and this makes it very convenient since I pull several different size trailers. The first use was pulling a 13000 lb boom lift and it worked flawlessly. I would highly recommend it for anyone that wants to have peace of mind that their hitch will handle what it is coupled to.
Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
The fit and finish on this is great. The shipping form Etrailers to my home only took two days.
I have not used it yet, but will update if I experience any issues. I don't expect any with this.
Michael - 02/07/2022Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
It’s been a year of consistent use now. This hitch works fantastic on my 2019 Ram Rebel. I haul a 25’ enclosed trailer and this hitch works with no issues. Easy to set and use.
Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
It's a decent product. Not many choices for a 2-1/2 aluminum hitch. It's big and bulky looking but has the capacity if needed. After one year of occasional use it shows it's wear. Not sure how long before a $92 ball replacement will be needed.

Heavy Duty Hitch. Easily adjustable.
Review from a similar 180 Hitch Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
The hitch is great, fit and finish is nice. It is great to have a hitch that I don't have to worry about rust! The other great feature is how you can store the ball assembly in the front of the hitch, so you won't walk into it!
