Best 1978 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!

PERFECT

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.

Perfect drop for Suburban pulling horse-trailer. Excellent product. Lightning fast shipping. Pleasure to do business with 5 stars.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This hitch combines the perfect balance of tongue weight and hitch drop. I purchased this for my 3/4 ton suburban pulling a 12' Haulmark trailer...what a dream. the greaseless ball is a bonus to keep pants clean when bumped into. Strongly advise the locking pins... this hitch will be stolen quickly as it is super sharp to look at. highly recommend!!!

Very nice product. Works well easily adjustable. My only complaint is it is not long enough. When I have my car trailer with a power jack attached I can not open the lift gate on my Suburban.

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!

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.

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

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 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

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

Excellent item when you’ve got big bumpers!

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

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.

Great product -it fit my sons truck perfectly. Susan H. Was excellent to work with. She is a good customer service rep.

All in all a good set up. A lot more play in the receiver than I expected. Fair amount of rattling around without a trailer attached. In all fairness I do live in a state with poor roads.

The quality of the hitch is excellent, plus it looks great on the Suburban. This product was exactly what I was looking for. I have three trailers that I keep in several locations. Now I never have to concern myself with having the wrong hitch on the tow vehicle.

Love my new hitch and the adjustability. Much lighter than my previous hitch

The product is one of the best made items I’ve seen in a very long time. Etrailer was very responsive with the order and I received the product very quickly.
