2-5/8" Long x 1-1/4" diameter shank. Fine threads provide superior strength on this raw, machine-finished ball. Designed for heavy-duty towing.Ball is perfect. 3" hitch on the other hand is loose as a goose with about an .125 of play up and down and side to side. Quite disappointing but I wrapped it with tape.
I ordered the 30000 lb. ball hitch for a gooseneck on my 01 F250 super duty. It arrived at the time that e trailer said it would. I was able to choose the way the item was shipped which saved me money over other online options. I just put it in since it was a raw Steel ball I hit it with a coat of flat black enamel to keep the rusting to a minimum. It is installed and ready to pull. I don't have a gooseneck trailer but now if I need to pull a rental or a friends I can. I like doing business with places directly like e trailer and cutting out the big box places that are not easy to communicate with if there is a problem. There wasn't any which is even better.
So the customer service is fantastic. I ordered the BWX2000 and it showed up missing the shank. It was not etrailer’s fault as the shipment initially contained everything but the carrier messed up and the package didn’t arrive with the shank. I spoke to autumn in customer service and she did absolutely everything she could to get me the 2.5 inch shank I needed but ended up sending me the 2in receiver by mistake. Again I wasn’t upset because I did not specify and by the time I realized it was wrong the part was already on the way. Long story short I got the 2 in shank in the next day, this shank would work but it was not exactly for the load I wanted to safely pull. Anyway I ended up finding the correct shank, ordered it and it is one the way. Now I will have both the 2 and 2.5 in shank for the same distro hitch but guess what I am completely fine with it backside I have two trucks, each with different receivers so for just a little bit more I can use this hitch for both my trucks just fine. Everything happens for a reason and I was completely happy with how autumn helped me out. She was great and called me back several times to let me know what both she was trying to do and get assistance from several of her techs. Thank you and I will certainly do business with autumn and etrailer again. Autumn was really nice to me and did everything she could to help me out. Thanks again. Jason
Nice raw finish. Clean and smooth machined threads. Functional load rating is stamped on top of the ball.
The product I purchased, a 2-5/16" hitch 30,000 lbs ball, is very nice quality. I was very impressed. I had looked locally for a similar product, but was only able to find a hitch ball for about twice as much cost. As to the service from etrailer, I was equally impressed. Soon after I ordered the product, I recieved a personal email expressing thanks for the purchase. While I realize this may have been an automatic "canned" response, I got the feeling there was custormer interest and I could respond in email if I wished. Thank you. I will continue to order all my trailer and hitch needs from etrailer.
You could pull a house with this ball. 30K rated.
The ball is fine. But, the nut is 1 7/8, and is supposed to be torqued to 450 foot pounds. Who has a wrench that big? Not me. Nor my local Ace Hardware. I asked Etrailer.com if they would torque on the ball to the hitch that I ordered at the same time. They told me "no", they didn't have a wrench that big - ! So, I ordered a socket and a 35 inch breaker bar from amazon - for $70 - more than my new hitch and ball costs. At least shipping is free. Etrailer.com has lousy service/product support.
Getting the strongest ball mount takes the worry away from the ball being the weakest link. A little more money spent now can save a fortune later.
Nice finish , well manufactured 30,000 trailer ball . i just wanted to have a strong trailer ball , no weak links . I have two of these trailer balls , when I received the first one I thought " wow , nicely manufactured and nice finish " so ... I have one for each hitch , a load transfer torsion hitch and just a regular hitch .
After doing a bit of research I found I was towing with an undersized ball and ball mount. The information for this product helped me get the correct ball and mount for my trailer with correct weight rating and drop to safely tow my trailer. Product is heavy duty and has performed as expected.
Haven’t installed it yet although etrailer was easy to work with, and the product was delivered on time
Great heavy duty ball.
These are very nice.
Works perfect I'm using it on a 12,000 pound weight distribution hitch so it's completely overkill
Great price and 30k pound hitch that looks great as well. Still have not figured out how you torque it to 450ftlbs, but I will get it tight. It does not have flats on the ball side to hold tight. Will work great as the replacement gooseneck ball on my flatbed. Great prices and shipping is reasonable and fairly fast on all products. Will buy from Etrailers and tell others whenever they are looking for parts.
Product was well worth the money it’s very nice looking and good Quality and was delivered very quickly
Great quality and a great price!
Looks really good. We are planning to use it on a large boat trailer, and needed something pretty stout. 30,000 lb. looked to us like that would do the job, and we were unable to get anything close to that weight/strength locally. The people at eTrailer.com did a fantastic job of keeping us informed of what was happening with our order. Very Happy!
Fast delivery and good quality products.
It's just a 2 5/16" trailer ball, right? Well, no, not exactly; it's a dead-serious, well-engineered piece of equipment that, if it fails catastrophically will ruin your day! These folks offer primo items like this for fair prices and, unless you're desperate for it and can't wait, doesn't rip you off for shipping the thing to your door. I'm just a guy with a truck and a travel trailer but each time I've bought stuff from these fine folks I've got what I thought I'd ordered with absolutely no surprises, so I give them just what they deserve: 5 stars!
Once again I made a purchase from etrailer and I am very happy with the merchandise. Everything I have purchased from a trailer ball to more than one set of tires for multiple trailers has been well above average. Very fast processing of my order and the delivery. The customer service is what really pushes my rating to a 5. Everyone is not only knowledgeable but great people who are always happy to help. And no, I was not paid to give this review and I am a real customer. Great company to do business with.
Excellent! I tow my Sea Ray 370 with this. 20k pounds
Works great
This Ball is rated much higher than any I had or could find locally.
Good ball for a good price.
