Brad Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Draw-Tite two inch ball. Now this is a 3/4 inch diameter and the shank length is gonna be 1 9/16. This is gonna be a Class I and Class II ball, so it's gonna be great for towing some smaller trailers. Now this ball is a 3,500 gross trailer weight rating, and this is gonna be great for your Class I and II, so smaller cars and vehicles can be able to tow this, especially if you have an inch and 1/4 hitch. Now this can fit on ball mounts that are anywhere from 3/8 to 5/8 inch thick. Now this ball is rated at 3,500 pounds, which is gonna be great for a teardrop trailer just like this, but it's one part of many parts of towing components that you need to make sure is up to that number to make sure it's safe.
So not only should your ball match that weight, but also the ball mount as well as the hitch and the vehicle itself. So it's important to check all those numbers and take the lowest number of all those just to be safe. And that way you're not trying to tow something that's heavier than your components. So installation of the ball on the ball mount is obviously pretty simple. Now included with the ball is gonna be the nut as well as the split washer here.
And also you'll see these flat spots here on the top part here on the ball, and that's gonna be great. You can put a wrench there as you torque this to spec. Now you're gonna want to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for torque specs to make sure that this is tight enough, but also not too tight. And you're gonna need to use a torque wrench to achieve that. If you don't have a torque wrench, we have those here at etrailer.
You can also generally rent those in an auto parts store, but make sure that you torque this down properly and that way, you're towing safely. And this is steel construction, so it's obviously very strong. It also has a nice chrome finish, so this is gonna look really good for a long time. It pretty much won't scratch, it may get a little dings and dents, but overall, the lifetime of it, it's gonna look great. Now sometimes putting a little bit of grease on here when you're towing is also gonna prolong the life of this chrome looking good.
And that was a look at the Draw-Tite two inch ball, and that's with the 3/4 inch diameter by 1 9/16 shank..

Durable steel ball has a 3/4" diameter x 1-9/16" long shank. Built-in wrench flats ease installation. Chrome finish resists corrosion. Fine threads provide strong grip. Lock washer and nut included.A++ product at great price and fast shipping, it's a one stop shop all you need in one box and with the video makes it easy to install on my 2015 nissan altima with the bolts thru the trunk and didn't even to remove the mufflers by sliding the hitch in one side and pushing up the other end while pulling the one muffler to one side I was able to install quicker and the plug and play wires makes it easy than trying to decode wires. Thank-you.
Good fit and finish, survived hauling a U-Haul 800 miles no problem.
Fast shipping,and works great. Workmanship and quality is spot on! Etrailer.com is the bomb!
Love the way it looks on our Buick Encore. Going camping this month and pulling a small trailer, can’t wait!, Was not difficult to put on, our local mechanic did the work. Thanks etrailer
Wanda - 05/17/2022Everyone said that they never saw one on a Mercedes-Benz, let alone, a convertable.
This is my father's 1965 sailboat and 1965 Sears trailer. The car is a 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK 450. I had not sailed the boat since 1977. I have the license plate from the trailer to prove it. The dealer who sold me the car had never put a hitch on a car. After he saw the trailer attached to the car, he offered me a job. I turned it down, but I told him if he ever got a request, I would help him with it.
Thanks for everything.
The product is superior, the price is fare. Delivery was prompt.Installation was easy. I will continue to buy from etrailer. I'm very satisfied.
Customer service was amazing. I ordered this for my business and etrailer immediately called me after I had ordered the wrong ball size. Simultaneously, another customer relations personnel reached out via email to confirm I had meant to order the ball. Cant say enough of how easily they solved an issue before it turned into a problem. Installed hitch the day it arrived, less than 30 min with the help of their instructions and an install video.
Now I can tow my teardrop trailer or put on my bike rack. etrailer made it easy for adapting my Scion for towing.
very easy to install and now when i need to tow anything my vehicle can tow i do it without any problems
Worked perfect the first time. Easy to install and good quality
Quick. Fair Price. Excellent Communication. First, we ordered the hitch and had it installed. Then we needed the perfect fit for the task at hand: to pull a tank with gray water through a campground. Very specific. Just for our toad, a Smart car.
Etrailer.com has the perfect software to lead you to what you need for the perfect combination. Quick shipment, reasonably priced. Direct communication for every step in the process. All in all, exactly what you’d hope for during these extremely dysfunctional time.
Excellent Product Quality, Service Quality and Service Attitude. Thank you!
I'm so grateful for the help and expertise I received from the folks at etrailer, and for the great quality products. My wife and I will be driving across the country as part of a move and we needed to be able to pull a trailer behind our small SUV. Justin at etrailer figured out exactly what we needed in a single, simple phone call and all the materials were at my door in just a couple days. A service station down the street helped with installation and we are good to go. (And my hitch also works with my bike rack!) A truly excellent experience.
Heavy duty. Well constructed. Great customer service
The packaging could have been better. There was also a drawbar along with this ball, in the same box. These two parts are very heavy and it appears that the ball knocked off a lot of paint from the drawbar, so I have no way to know if the drawbar was a wrecking yard pull or actually new. There wasn't really anything added to the inside of the shipping box to prevent items from moving around. The other items did just fine because they were inside plastic clamshell packaging, and are very flexible. I doubt that standard foam peanuts would hold up to the weight of the ball & drawbar, something a bit more aggressive would be needed, like zip-tying those two parts to a packboard, or sprayfoam-filled bags. Otherwise, the ball is very nice. I didn't happen to notice on the website but it's made by Drawtite
I haven’t installed this yet on my 1994 mustang gt. The quality looks great as far as wields and powder coating. Price was great as well. I had a great experience calling and having all my questions answered. The best part was seeing the hitch installed on a mustang similar to mine to see the fit and finish. That is what really drew me into this purchase
Awesome love the products my Subaru loves pulling my camper to New Hampshire and and getting hay weekly and yes my 2011 Subaru wrx pulls hard
This is the 3rd hitch I've purchased from you and I have been very satisfied every time. The hitched arrived today around noon. The box was pretty badly beaten up. With the hitch sticking out but inside in a separate box that was very well packed were the rest of ordered parts. Thanks for you attention to packing I didn't loose anything in transit. Imagery happy with your service and your pricing. We will do business in the future.
The [online] video of the install made the installation straight forward and simple. The products are as expected.
As with every order we have made with etrailer, must say excellent, from the customer assistance to the actual products. The trailer hitch for my friends Honda is perfect. Thanks this is the way all companies should be.
Excellent quality
Bob - 08/20/2022Great service, great web site, people in th know, and people you enjoy dealing with.
The hitch was well made and relatively easy to install. I installed it on a 2016 Golf Sportwagen LE. I can confirm that as others have stated that I did NOT need to trim the bumper fascia (as the instructions said I would need to). I separated the black, lower part of the fascia from the top part before reinstalling the main fascia. I was then able to snap the lower part on after fitting it around the hitch chain loops.
A couple of other notes: the LE has the rear cross traffic alert. The sensors are bolted on each side of the bumper. I thought with the additional thickness of the sensors that the bolts might not be long enough but they fit fine.
As has been mentioned in other reviews, the torx screws in the wheel wells have very little clearance. I highly recommend getting a torx racquet set. I bought one at a hardware store for about $20 (Kobalt 24-Piece Standard (SAE) and Metric Mechanic's Tool Set with Hard Case). This makes the removal of those screws straight-forward.
Exactly what I ordered, shipped in no time - great service
10/10 would recommend
The short shank of this ball is great for an ATV going to off road because it give more ground clearance, so it’s less likely to hang in stumps or rocks in the forest. I use it with my LogRite ATV Arch, with my wood splitter, and for transporting maple water to my sugar house to produce maple syrup.
