Today, we're reviewing Part Number 80232 from Hidden Hitch. This is a Class 3 Ball Mount with a 3-1/4 inch rise or a 2-inch drop and a super extra long shank. The towing capacity rating is 6,000 pounds and the tongue weight is rated at 600 pounds. As you can see the shank is hollow and it is cut at an angle. It makes it a little easier for you to slide this into your receiver. This uses a ball with a 1-inch shank diameter.
There is a 3-1/4 inch rise from the top of the shank to the top of the ball mount platform and a 2-inch drop from the top of the shank to the ball mount platform. Let's see how this measures up, from the center of the hitch pinhole, which is here, to the beginning of the ball platform is 11 inches and it is 16 inches from the center of the hitch pinhole to the center of the ball hole. This will accommodate Class 3, that's 2 by 2 inch ball mount accessories. And that's it for Part Number 80232, the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount Class 3 with a 3/4 inch rise and a 2-inch drop.

Angle-cut design allows the ball mount to slide in your hitch with ease. 6,000 lb capacity. This ball mount provides 15-3/4" of clearance from the hitch pin hole and requires a hitch ball with a 1" shankThese long shaft ball mounts allow pickup truck tailgates to lower completely with the trailer attached. This is a huge advantage when loading and unloading cargo while connected. 725877
This worked great for pulling my camper last year. With spare tire on my Jeep Liberty there wasn't enough room to get the trailer off the ball with a standard ball mount. Thanks etrailer. Jim 707310
Awesome product and customer service 668424
I am very please with this extended drawbar. We are now able to trailer our boat & use a clamp-on bike rack to take our bikes as well wherever we go! 366934
Mark - 04/13/2018Appears to be a very strongly built drawbar. Will let you know over time how it holds up. 665660
Attaching the trailer was easy and provided me a higher comfort level when backing up to center the ball under the hitch because I had more room between the coupling and my Tundra. Additionally this product provided me the ability to open my Tundra bed door while my trailer is attached. Lastly it provides me a greater turning radius when backing up. I would recommend this product. 707871
I have a 2004 RAV 4 and I was trying to get my ball away from the spare tire carrier. I think I probably would have been fine with the next size (shorter) ball mount and still got the job done. The good news is that with the 2 inch drop, I can open the rear door and it just rubs the seal at the bottom of the door a little bit, but I can still easily open the door. I did not want to drop the ball any lower, So this works out well for my rig. 35846
Needed a long ball mount to clear a spare tire mounted on the back of my Jeep. This is perfect! 686917
With this long receiver, I can tilt my tailgate down without hitting my trailer jack stand. 255429
The biggest issue I have is that the video on the receiver said the rise can go up or down. I try to put the ball in the hole in the rise position and it does not seat all the way the way it does in the down position. Not sure if I can Seat by drawing down the nut or not . 504052
Heather A - 05/04/2018Super fast processing and shipping. Item was delivered less than 48 hours after placing order. Worked perfectly for providing needed clearance between trailer and spare tire on back of Jeep Liberty. 109819
Needed to extend the hitch on my side by side. This did just the trick. Now I have room to crank the tongue jack on trailers I want to hook up to. As always, Etrailer did an outstanding job on getting the part to me in a timely manner. 217213
Walt S - 08/16/2016Hard to find item found We have a home with a large back yard with the access layed out so,that only a single vehicle can make the turn around the corner without a trailer,even utility or boattrailer.I had a front hitch reciever on my Suburban and I wanted a long hitch extender for easier handling..It helped even more with the use of my Polaris Ranger,which is short enough and powerful enough to make it around the corner but its hitch receiver is practically on the real axle and the control of the trailer especially backing it is very poor.Instead of an extremely long trailer tongue this extension helps it too. The extender is perfect,nicely finished and arrived within a few days.I want to mention,that the price was very reasonable even with shipping. 5021
Have a 18" pontoon boat that we drive 1/2 block to the launch with our CRV. The trailer even with 12" tires was just too high to launch and retireve the 'toon. It came to me that I had a sailboat with a "tongue' extension that slid out. Next best thing..... the extension! It worked pretty well! We were able to back farther into the water and get the 'toon off. This year the high water at the St Lawerence made it impossible to launch, (rented a slip), but I am going to get a longer extension. If you have a steep ramp, need a bit more "tongue" to launch.... get this! it has worked well for us! 694693
Just the solution I was looking for! My Jeep's spare tire hits the utility trailer's hitch latch, preventing me from opening the tailgate. I could flip the old drawbar over so the hitch is lower, but then the trailer would not be level while on the hitch. (maybe just aesthetics, but I am a little picky about stuff). An additional bonus is that this helps make backing the trailer up a little easier since it put more distance between the tow vehicle and the trailer's axle. Etrailer was the only place I could find the extended length drawbar, the price is excellent! 155193
DonK - 10/19/2015We needed a ball mount that would get past the ladder, this one does it. Looks like it will work good and we will find out this weekend. Order was easy and delivery was fast. thank you 564462
A quality insert. I have had trouble finding an insert with the rise and drop plus the length of this insert. The weld is very good. I needed the extra length this insert provides because I have steps on the front of my boat trailer to allow me to get into the boat. A regular length inner did not provide the clearance needed when making a slightly tight turn. The bottom step would hit the truck bumper and cause damage that resulted in $1300.00 repair. The service ETrailer provided was outstanding. I placed the order on their web page late in the day . Shortly I received a reply they would be filling the order. The next morning I received a phone call telling an additional item I wanted was back ordered to them. Asked if it was okay to delay shipment until it came in. I agreed to that. They kept me informed to the status and that they were still keeping track of my order. When they were informed of an additional delay on getting me the item they informed me of the additional delay. I asked them to cancel the item and to ship the remaining items. They said they would and I got the shipment the next day. Plus I asked them to let me know when the back order item would be available so I could order it. They said they would. Excellent customer service and quality product a great combination. 236425
R. C - 01/27/2017Some pictures of the hitch in place. Works very well. Hauled a few trailers already with no issues. Very strong ball mount regarding its long length. 133963
Attached is a photo of my trailer connected to my vehicle. the additional 8" now allows me to open my hatch. 498602
Needed to clear the spare tire on my Jeep! This Hidden Hitch product was a perfecr fit! 692920
This solved a problem for me. I have a Chinook RV which has a rear entry door with electric retracting steps. The tow hitch receiver is mounted on the back of the chassis behind the steps so an extra long ball mount was needed and this was the only one I found. It turned out to ba tailor made, the exact length I needed. The ball and locks are excellent quality too. Thank you for the prompt delivery and great service. 44295
I use this to tow trailer with the tailgate down on my truck. Works great 800581
Delivered on time and as described. Bought for my utility trailer to avoid smashing my tailgate into the tongue jack. Works as it should and a better alternative than welding on a new piece to move the jack. 798247
Just what I needed !fast shipping . 798041
Works great, just the right Length required. Product Quality & Price a "10" ! 797997
