Most Popular B and W for 2016 Chevrolet Equinox

Using this hitch on my Expedition and LandCruiser. A standard hitch caused my 12 ft utility trailer to not ride level when towed behind either truck. Since my trucks have different ride heights, the B&W hitch allows me to get the perfect drop for each truck. Trailer responds much better to road issues level as opposed to angled behind the truck. Additionally, its rating exceeds both of the trucks’ towing capabilities, so I have the hitch I need for the future as I have plans for a heavier trailer down the road. Quality and fitment of the hitch is excellent.

I own 2 of these now. 1 double & 1 triple ball. For me these are great and have towed multiple trailers many miles with ZERO issues. Because I tow many different trailers with different sized couplers and even the load/tongue weight from load to load can change how much my truck squats since I do not have air bags on my truck yet (coming soon), the B&W Tow & Stow makes it so easy to adjust the height to level any of my trailers. Honestly I do not use the stow feature partly because I am lazy and tow often but also by leaving this massive chunk of metal sticking out, it may protect my truck from being bumped from a non driver. Hint to B&W, for such a nice device I wish it came with a silencer to quiet some of the rattling although it is not bad. Tip for new users: (1) Grease the pins from time to time to make adjusting the height or switching ball size super easy especially in northern states with snow and salt covered roads. (2) Use a locking pin to secure this to your truck. They are heavy but without a locking pin they are easy to "walk away".

I wish I would have bought one of these years ago. It would have saved me from buying 4 different height hitch receivers. I have a boat trailer that requires me to mount this hitch upside down to get about 2.5in of rise. On the flip side is my utility trailer that requires a 2 inch drop. The kicker is that when I load the truck down with gear and people or load the utility trailer up really heavy, this hitch allows me to kick the ball up or down a notch to keep the trailer level. Also if you ever rent heavy equipment most of the trailers they use will have 2 5/16 ball, so I just flip the ball and I'm in business. Build quality and finish is excellent. I don't keep the mount on all year long but with some judicious use of grease this thing hasn't shown any rust over the past year of use. I am currently using this on a stock GMC Sierra 1500 and I really could have gone with one size down on the hitch drop/rise, but I figured if I ever bought a 3/4 ton truck or a friend with one ever needed to borrow the hitch it would have enough drop to work with that application as well. As it stands the 5in drop isn't too long to cause clearance issues with a half ton GM truck. For those of you who are wondering about thieves making off with the ball mount - the design of the tow and stow is such that with all the pins removed and the hitch installed on the vehicle, it is not possible to rotate the ball mount off the receiver. Especially if you mount the receiver using the inner most mounting hole. All that is needed is a locking hitch pin and the whole setup is secure. I've attached a picture of the hitch installed on a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 for reference.
