Most Popular Steel Shank - Gloss Black for 1979 Chevrolet Suburban

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.

Still haven't towed anything with it yet but it seems very solid. I do think it will rattle some in the receiver because it is loose in my 2" receiver on my 2019 F150.

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.

Great fit for newer Suburbans that have higher hitch receivers.

PERFECT

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.

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!

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

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 item when you’ve got big bumpers!

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.

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