Best 1973 Chevrolet Suburban Trailer Hitch Ball Mounts

Just received this mount and did the test fit with our trailer. We have not hit the road with it yet but I am confident it will perform perfectly. I am anxious to see how the cushioned feature works. We pull a box cargo trailer for business and just got a new Chevy HD pickup to tow with. It has a 2.5" receiver and hitch height is much greater than the Suburban we were using plus it had a 2" receiver. This mount is rated for far more weight than we will ever need but it was the only 2.5" size with 6" drop that I could find. We are very pleased with the product and the excellent customer service we got at etrailer. Thanks to everyone there for the very fast service and for keeping me informed as to the status of my order. well done!

I purchased a 2020 GMC Yukon XL Denali which is about 9" taller than my 1988 Chevy Suburban was. The Convert-A-Ball Mount with a 12" Drop is the right amount of drop I needed so I could keep all 3 of my trailers (box, boat, and car trailers) level with the ground. The Convert-A-Ball Mount with a 12" Drop and a 7,000 lb load rating has been a very good product for me.

Its a ball mount. As far as ball mounts go, this one's pretty spiffy.

Construction and finish of drop down trailer hitch is excellent. Installed on a Chevrolet Suburban it is used to pull a heavy duty 2-axel flat bed trailer. Works great and is easily removed to get garage door closed.

Just recieved yesterday so haven't used but seems very soild and well made. Looks great. Locking system a huge plus.

Good quality machining. Easy to install. Will report back in 6 months

This hitch has worked out great for me over the last year. It’s very heavy duty and easy to adjust. I’ve hauled a 9,000 lb boat, long-distance on numerous occasions without issue. I also haul a landscape trailer on a daily basis weighing over 5,000lbs and haven’t had a single issue. Great hitch that was significantly cheaper than others and is very high quality. I’ve recommended it to several people and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. The only thing I would like to have now in a hitch is a tongue weight gauge, but it isn’t necessary.

This is a great hitch. Highly recommend this hitch. This is my second curt hitch, first one was on my ford f450 but unfortunately that one wouldn’t fit on my new truck, do to shank size.

I recently bought a new Chevy Suburban. I've been driving these since before they were called SUV's. Back when they were the only game in town. And I've been towing trailers all this time. But my new Suburban has a hitch receiver that is in the middle of the bumper, much too high. One of my trailers actually scrapes along the ground because of the height of the hitch. I got a 6" drop hitch elsewhere, but was dissappointed that it didn't solve my problem. And 6" drop was the lowest they had. I was so glad to find your site and the 12" drop hitch I just received. Problem solved. Thanks!

This is a beast of a drawbar, solid forged steel & well finished. It's also very heavy and E-Trailer needed to ship 3 times because the first two broke out of the box they were packed in. (Someone in the USPS has a couple nice draw bars.) Fortunately the 3rd effort was much better packed in a reinforced box and was successfully delivered. E-Trailer customer service was exemplary in resolving the shipment issue & I will definitely shop with them again.

This hitch puts them all to shame...I have tried several and that cost more, and this is by far the best hitch I have owned. Absolute must on newer Suburbans and Tahoes due to the high frame. E-Trailer, of course had the best price and I had it in three days! Done! JC

Picked up my teardrop in ABQ on 2/17/23, and the Curt ball mount lined up perfectly with no drop/rise, and the extra length gave clearance for my rear door mounted spare tire. This mount is a beast, and the "overbuilt" nature of it gave me confidence that my Bronco would tow the teardrop easily. I also got the Curt Echo wireless brake controller, which synced easily to my phone and was easy to install, set up, and use. Overall a great towing experience, thanks to etrailer and Curt!

Very versatile - can use it on both my vehicles that have very different hitch height. Clean welds, super solid. Weighs a LOT!

I ordered for all the right reasons. Quality, ease of ordering, etrailer presence on social media, free shipping, expedient receipt of products. In “my” haste, one of the features of my B&W trailer hitch does not work on my vehicle. My Chevy Suburban has a rear valance that wii not allow me to rotate the ball hitch underneath the vehicle. I’m very impressed with the Areo silent hitch pin.

Works great. Nice,big heavy duty hitch...just wish they had some locking pins for the 3 that are on there

Perfectly as described, Box was a heavy hitch and the box must have been damaged in shipping so it was a little delayed. You can't mess up a forged hitch it still is in excellent condition.

This was an excellent buy and super heavy duty hitch. Works fine for towing my 9000 lb boat with my Suburban.

Great price and value, fast delivery and most important, great quality.

Its been a year and I aint broke it yet. I use this hitch to tow my 7Klb trailer. The trailer is tongue heavy and I needed something rugged to tow it with. Haven't had any troubles with this hitch.

works well as either a ball for trailer or link point for bike carrier, but unfortunately the clearance of any of my bike racks above the ball is not enough to back up and link up trailer. still, once unhooked it provides a way of mounting bikes without changing up hitches

This is a high quality product and delivered on time. Unfortunately this product doesn't work in my situation, there is interference on the boat trailer coupling and the bike rack in which the boat trailer cannot clear between the 2 inch trailer ball and the attached bike rack. The clearance between the bike rack and trailer is just enough for the trailer tongue coupler to pass through If there was an option to have a 4 inch drop on the trailer connection this could work well

Exactly what I ordered and better delivery than expected. I've already installed and everything is perfect.

Excellent service, received the product via UPS the next day. Exactly what I ordered, accurately described on the website. Will do business with etrailer again without hesitation.

I love this thing and it has performed well on several long trips: 3 times to TX and once to IL from NJ plus local stuff. It's somewhat lighter than the other ball mounts I've had and certainly looks nicer. It provides a ton of adjustability and my '17 Suburban needed 9 inches of drop for the utility trailer (Stealth Phantom II) I use to haul motorcycles here and there. One thing I'd rather have is two separate balls or just the 2" alone since the other ball does touch down on extreme driveways I've encountered.

Impressed with website. Found exactly the hitch I wanted. Ordering was easy. Received it quickly. Hitch appears to be of excellent quality, and as described. By suburban 2500 has a higher than average bumper. This hitch solves my issue. Thanks for the integrity of your company. Thank you George and etrailer!
