The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
According to Blue Ox, it'll take an experienced installer about 4 to 5 hours to complete the installation of their #BX1128 Base Plate Kit on a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The install isn't what I'd call super-difficult, but the installation…
Probably not unless you want to cut that round hole into a 2-1/4" square. The Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate item #e74VV is designed for a-frame trailer's that have a square cut out not the standard 2-1/4" circular cut out which I am…
Hi Thomas! The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball on the #BW77BR is 13-5/8". This is designed to fit a 2-1/2" receiver with a 10k rating for the 2" and 21k rating for the 2-5/16" ball. What…
Hey Rob, I’d be wondering the same thing if I came across a ball mount made out of aluminum like the #BPH77MR while researching. Totally fair question. That said, I haven’t seen any noticeable difference in slop or wear compared to their steel…
The appropriate torque spec for any application will vary depending on the construction of the wheel as well as on the stud size. I suggest checking the wheels you're using to see if their manufacturer has a suggested torque rating. Steel trailer…
Hey Chris, we do have more hitches now for your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek than what we had when we made the video you referenced but even with that in mind I would recommend the B and W part #BW32PR because it's mostly hidden and because it has the…
Hey Jason! I'm guessing you have the 12" long shank right now which is the standard. For a longer shank that fits a 2-1/2" receiver you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 16" Long - 7" Rise,…
Great questions I am glad you asked them. I have solutions for them. You will need the Demco SBS Second Vehicle Kit for Air Force One Supplemental Braking System #SM99209 and the Demco SBS Air Force One Coiled Air Jumper Kit for 2019 to Present…
The B&W Tow and Stow ball mount #BWTS10049B will have some great features. You can stow the mounting platform that has the 3 hitch balls (1-7/8, 2, and 2-5/16 inch) underneath your vehicle. This is nice because you will eliminate the possibility…
Hey Josh, so we can help but we don't have any custom fit gooseneck hitches that fit your 1976 Ford F-250. Best option would be a universal style option like the Curt plate part #C65500 which would need to get welded to the top of the truck frame…
Thanks for reaching out Mike! I spoke to Weigh Safe and only their Cerakote aluminum ball mounts are made in the USA. All other steel and aluminum ball mounts, including the steel 180 PRO models, are manufactured overseas. If you wanted an American…

Trailer Valet Drop Hitches with easy height adjustment
Dial in your tow height fast with Trailer Valet drop hitches. Two pins secure the setup, and the adjustment pins are 5/8 inch so you can swap one for a locking pin if you want. There are no pintle attachments available, and these aren't set up with a 1-7/8 inch ball.
Some arrive in pieces and may not be pre-torqued, so check and torque hardware. If the ball nut feels tight, hold the chrome ball with channel locks while turning the nut with a ratchet. Inspect threads before final tightening and make sure everything seats cleanly.
No, a 1-7/8 inch ball and pintle attachments are not offered for Trailer Valet adjustable ball mounts. If you need those options, consider a different style or brand that includes them.
Yes, they fit a 2" receiver well. Use a receiver clamp or anti-rattle device to help lock things in place. The adjustable head uses two pins to hold it, and you can swap one for a locking pin if you want extra security.
Adjustment is straightforward. The height changes quickly and the two pins hold the position firmly. Make sure both pins seat fully before towing and recheck after your first few miles.
They are 5/8 inch diameter like standard hitch pins. You can replace one with a 5/8 inch locking pin if you want to deter tampering. Confirm the lock you choose matches a 5/8 inch pin size.
