Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer today. We're going to be taking a look at the Tow Ready Two-inch Hitch Ball. Let's go over what you'll need to use this two-inch ball. Pretty much all we need to make sure of is, one, two-inch coupler. Make sure your trailers have a two-inch coupler. If you guys don't have a two-inch coupler, we do in our warehouse.
So you guys can pick one of those up on our website, if you want to.Another thing we want to make sure is the draw bar thickness. That's what it is right here. We don't want it to be any thicker than a whole entire inch, just because the threaded portion of our ball shank is going to be about two and an eighth inches long. So be mindful that we do want to make sure we can get this big old nut and lock washer on the underneath of it, and tighten it down.We will need a torque wrench. If you guys wanted to make sure and install it properly, I highly suggest getting a torque wrench, and also a vice made it a little bit easier to install the ball.
Another thing, it's your basic two-inch ball, nothing really special about it. It has a chrome finish. It is going to help resist against rust and corrosion over time, but at the end of the day, it's a ball. It gets the job done.One thing, this is going to be a helpful tip for you guys who are hauling. We want to make sure that you guys are hauling safely.
So we do have a weight capacity of 7,500 pounds with the ball itself. But with the rig that I have here, this is my personal car, I have a CURT ball mount only rated up to 5,000 pounds. I have a hitch only rated up to 5,000 pounds.Yes, I went a little overboard with the ball, just because, but we don't want to exceed that. We really don't want to go over that 5,000 pounds, based on the two pieces of equipment that we have. So, have an idea of what you guys are hauling, figure out what kind of hitch you guys have, what kind of ball mount you guys have, and then pick your ball accordingly.One thing we need to make sure of is that the hole in our ball mount is going to be no smaller than an inch in diameter, just because the threaded portion of the ball is going to be an inch in diameter, by two and an eighth inch long.
We want to make sure we can get that nut on there, and also just make sure that it's going to fit through the hole.The best way that we've found to install these balls, it's a lot easier just to go ahead and just put it through the hole, put your pressure washer and your nut on there. Get it held into place. You see how there's flat sides on this ball I want that to be centered, so what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to use a vice, put it in there and clamp it down just on the ball itself.Just like that, because we do have a pretty high torque rating that we need to torque this down to, it's in the instructions. So we will need a torque wrench to do this properly. But this way, all I have to do is take both of my hands, and I can be able to tighten this big old nut down to the high torque specifications that are in the instructions. This is the way I do it. If you guys can get it on there properly some other way, go for it. Just go ahead.If you guys have a torque wrench, set it to what we need it, and then we go ahead and start to tighten it down. All right. Pretty good. Whether you're just replacing an existing ball on your existing ball mount, or you got a new one, you're like, "Might as well just get another one," I definitely think it's going to get the job done. Not a whole lot of crazy features with this ball, but that's pretty much with all of them. That's just about it for a look at the Tow Ready Two-inch Hitch Ball..

Durable, Tow Ready chrome ball has a 1" diameter x 2-1/8" long shank with wrench flats. It's chrome finish provides strength and corrosion-resistance.installing parts together very easy.
Heavy-duty and super strong. I recently purchased a new vehicle that had a 2" hitch receiver so my old smaller one did not fit. My new hitch has a 1" hole so this was a perfect fit. Solid and easy to install. I would recommend.
PhilM - 12/19/2020The quality of this product is fantastic and it assembled with no problems and makes my rv / toad I pull a perfect match. I will continue to do business with (etrailer.com) much more in the future. The following photos are of my 1988 Fleetwood Jamboree and my baby (rare 1982 Toyota Corolla Station Wagon) all connected up and the 9" drop towing bar makes my Toyota towing very easy and safe at a level condition with my RV. Also look at the new LED lights installed to dress up my older RV, also purchased from Etrailer.com. I am a happy camper and highly recommend purchasing from them.
was easy to install the 2 ball and nut after installing the tow hitch. etrailer makes everything so easy. will order from them again.

I am completely satisfied with my setup. Used it today and everything worked perfectly. Pulled a trailer from PA to NY and back. No problems.
I am happy with all of the items I have ordered from etrailer.com. Moreover, I am extremely happy and impressed with the service. Not only was everyone at etrailer responsive but even better- they proactively reached out to me to confirm my satisfaction and even asked me if I wanted to change my order after noting that two parts I ordered would not fit together well. In this era of online ordering they have set the bar so that I wish the would branch out so I could order more from them.
Thank you for such prompt service. I put this on my Polaris 570 mid size Ranger. The problem was a normal hitch was under the bed and a 2 inch rise was a bit too low for a level trailer. This fixed the problem moving the ball out further and higher. Much easier to hook up. I would recommend your company to others.
Ball hitch is made very well. Used it several times and has never rusted on me like some of the other hitches ive owned in the past that were bought from a big box store.
I have two of these and they are great! Works well and are sturdy and solid. Only complaint is that the finish gets scratched off the ball and you can see that it is not steel underneath. No affect in performance.
Sierra K - 09/20/2021I just added a set off trick-steps to my boat trailer,and with the extension on the trailer hook-up, this made a world of difference,and a safer hook-up,and less chance of damage to you vehicle.
first time I have ever ordered from etrailers,,,,,FANTASTIC SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAST FAST SHIPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to me 5+ stars all the way around,,, if I ever need anything again and etrailers has it I will order again,,,, could not ask for better,,, I don't get excited about to many companies but etrailers is top notch
The product worked perfectly. as a matter fact I moved and drove across country with it. Thank you for the excellent product.
Very nice hitch ball it has been on my truck for a year now with little to no surface rust on it. Very happy fast shipping
Love the hitch, ball mount, ball and wiring harness. All were a breeze to install.
Delivered ahead of promised date. Hitch and ball were as advertised and everything fit my truck and trailer.
Great products and service. I was able to order everything I needed to add a tow hitch and ball to my 2006 Jeep liberty. Very fast shipping. They even called me to verify orders and availability. Clear and easy to follow installation instructions. I hauled an U-Haul trailer from Texas to Ohio without any issues. Even bought a trailer and use it frequently for hardware stoe runs.
Not much to say, it's a Hitch Ball. The entire order was prompt and packaged very well
instructions were easy to follow easy to set up and worked the way it was suppose to
Not an exotic, exciting product here but it does the job well and that's all you need.
Dave B - 08/22/2021Well built and solid...this will be used by an ATV to pull accessories and the truck to pull a trailer...
I mean, it’s a simple install if you have the right tools.
R.Sube - 08/24/2021Install and functionality great on my 2019 Toyota RAV4 XLE. Highly recommend.
We needed a trailer hitch for our 2017 Buick Envision quickly. Did a Google search and found etrailer.com. Began searching under trailer hitches & found what I needed with their websites online direction-just put in my car year, make, model. Super easy! Large selection of products with plenty of inventory options as well as very fair pricing. The website is easily searchable & ordering is very easy. Excellent customer service & timely when I needed some extra help. (That is a big attribute when a customer is needing more understanding of a product or has a question on shipping). The fact that their team is fast, knowledgeable & polite is why I will refer this business to anyone. You will speak to an American when you need a question answered. Fast shipping and their confirmation emails have added video or pdf to help you install & understand the product. This is an excellent example of a stellar e-commerce business. Thank you, Mindy L and the rest of the team at etrailer.com. p.s-As a digital marketing specialist, I see lots of sites and order online almost daily-I was very impressed with the site and your team. It's not a coincidence that this was formed as a family business back in the 40's, that they saw the need for quality parts and were smart enough to see the value in local growth. They eventually targeted a larger market online and it's now the world's leading online retailer of custom-fit towing accessories. Great job!
Marybeth A - 06/01/2020Used it with maxx tow adjustable height ball mount hitch also ordered from etrailer. It worked well with no issues. Free shipping was a big plus.
