Today, we're going to review part number 19258. This is a 2-inch hitch ball with a 3/4 inch shank from Tow Ready. This is our hitch ball right here. You obviously get the hitch ball, lock washer and a nut. You also get this label which actually tells you your torque specifications of whatever you're going to install it onto. One thing I want to point out is when you install a hitch ball, every now and then you'll see the tag left on there.
Don't do that. Aside from looking tacky, this actually can crush over time and whole hitch ball can loosen up from the lock nut, so always take this off. You always want to install this in a ball mount with a 3/4 inch hole. There are bushings that you can fit in there with that, but this actually still gives it room to move around and potentially loosen up. Try to use the same matching hole as the hitch ball. This ball is ready to have 3,500 pounds and this is the diameter, that's 2 inches.
Always use a decoupler that requires a 2 inch ball. The 2 and 8th inch, this will pop off, so don't use it with that, it's a style coupler. Obviously not much to it. Has a chrome finish. Let's put it in a typical installation. In this case, we're using a light duty hitch, a class 1.
Typically, we're going to mount in an up position like this, or a raised position. Simply put your lock washer nut into place, run the nut down, and then tighten it up. Let's put it into our hitch of our car and we'll tighten it down. I'll show you a little trick in tightening these down. We're actually going to put our ball mount in sideways.
That way, we can get leverage on our tool to go down to the ground. We'll go ahead and snug it up with a regular ratchet and a 1 and 8th inch socket. We'll take our slack, then we're going to use a pipe wrench on these flats right here on the ball. Put your wrench on the flats right here. That way you won't mess up the finish on the ball itself. You'll notice that we also have our pipe wrench on the ground. We'll put our torque wrench on and finish torquing the nut. We're constantly pushing down, we won't have to worry about the ball mount sliding out. Take your pipe wrench off. Then, we'll put our ball mount in correctly. Now our ball is ready for service to pull a trailer. That will finish it for our review of our hitch ball with 2-inch diameter and a short shank ready for 3,500 pounds tongue weight. Part number 19258, from Tow Ready. .

Not sure how to rate a ball hitch. It hasn't failed or come loose. 867025
What you see is what you get. It's a 2" long shank chrome ball. No complaints at all. 865589
I have only put it to lite use (pulling empty trailers with a lawn mower). The ball is holding up to the elements. 865101
I just received the DrawTite 24798 for my 2012 Nissan Versa hatchback. After watching the videos, I was able to install it with the help of a friend in less than an hour from start to finish. With the exception of a cutting saw and a 3/4 inch wrench, all the parts necessary to install where there. I highly recommend etrailer.com!! 864868

Being completely clueless and brand new to the towing/trailer world, I ordered mismatched parts. Roger R immediately reached out to me to ensure I had what I needed to properly install my hitch. I'm completely impressed with the customer service and affordability of etrailer.com and will recommend it to anyone... now to just get the parts installed and go get on the water!! 860421
