I dont have a question, but I do have some input that I discovered after I ordered the BandW Tow and Stow hitch. My original concern was that the hitchs ball head swing arm as BandW calls it could be removed from the shank. There is a review from another customer that said the hitchs ball head could not be removed, so I ordered it based off of their observation. I saw the experts answer here: http://www.etrailer.com/question-112214.html, and it also eased some of my fears about the hitch being stolen. Once I received the hitch I could tell that theft is not a concern. In the pamphlet that accompanied the hitch there is an advertisement for a Receiver Lock, which as we know, will lock the shank of the hitch to the receiver. However, it goes on to say that as long as the pin is in the first shank hole when the hitch is locked, the swing arm cannot be removed. This is because there is a channel on the back of the hitch that allows the swing arm to be removed is blocked when the hitch is flush with the receiver hitch see the attached picture. To summarize, you dont have to worry about the swing arm ball head being removed. A simple receiver lock will keep the hitch safe.

well over the hitch is very well made. The hitch itself fit great all holes lined up fine.The only problem the flat round washers were to small for the bolts supplied and you should supply washers for the bracket that mounts under the bumper because the holes on the hitch are pretty big , its possible for the lock washer to seat crooked. A trip to the hardware store fixed the issues. Overall were very happy with the hitch.

Looks welll made, but have not used them at this point.

Great hitch. I bought the 3 ball with 8" drop hitch. My utility trailer needs it almost all the way down. My boat trailer needs it almost all the way up on my Chevy 2500HD. The only time I have removed it was to install a Pintle hitch one day to haul a trailer for a tractor. Tip: Use silicone spray on the adjustable pins. Use of lithium grease fouls them up so it's difficult to remove and reinstall them (collects dirt, dust). Also lubricate your hitch lock monthly, or you won't be able to open it if you ever want to remove the hitch.

Gone are the days I need to carry three different hitches with different sized balls on them. Gone are the days when I, or others, walked around the back of my truck and cracked their shin on a protruding trailer hitch. I keep this folded up in front of the drop where it's not going to catch anyone by surprise. When I'm ready to use it, I simply pull two pins out which allows it to drop free and rotate out. I choose the height I need and install the two pins/clips. To rotate the balls, again simply pull the third pin and rotate to desired size. It was more than I wanted to spend at the time but since I'm glad I spent the money.

This is a gift for my son who has talked about wanting to get a high quality forged hitch to safely trailer cars. I'm going to wrap it and put it under the tree. Am anxious to see him open it! The folks at etrailer helped me get the right one for him...Thanks guys!

Item was described very well. Shipping was fast as well. The ease of changing the ball for the application i need, and stowing away when not needed make this hitch the only one I'll ever own.

My second B&W stowaway that I have bought, have them on both of my business trucks, absolutely love them, I think they are the best money can buy, MADE IN USA! No more changing hitches, fully adjustable for different trailer heights, great product!

The BWTS10056 hitch is a very high quality unit well worth the price! It arrived quickly and it will be the last one you will need to purchas.

Works great and very durable. I have a Silverado with a 6 inch lift on 35's and the 6 inch drop works perfect for my 28 foot boat on a triple axle extreme trailer and the 10 inch drop works perfectly for my dads double axle trailer. I had the aluminum 10 inch adjustable hitch if you guys are familiar with that and it works great but I bought The rock tamers mudflap system and the neck that goes into the receiver is too short. I had to buy new hitches for the rock tamers mudflaps system and I knew my drop size already and these ones are working perfectly.
