The B&W Tow & Stow adjustable ball mount lets you tow a variety of trailers with different tongue heights. Having both a 2" ball and a 2-5/16" ball allows for even more versatility, making this the ultimate go-to ball mount if you own multiple trailers.
Easily Adjusts and Stows
To switch the hitch ball, simply remove the pin holding the balls in place and rotate the entire block that the balls are mounted on until the ball you want to use is on top. Then replace the pin to secure the block in place.
Adjusting the height of the ball is just as easy. Remove the pins holding the ball mount platform in place and slide the platform up or down along the shank to the desired position. Once you have found the correct height, reinsert the pins and replace the clips.
When you're not towing, you can flip the ball mount platform around and stow it beneath your hitch so that you won't bang your shins. Just remove the pins to slide the ball platform down along the channel and up the back side so that the hitch balls face towards your vehicle. Then replace the pins.
Built-In Anti-Theft System
The Tow & Stow ball mount features a channel that runs along both sides of the shank. This channel not only allows you to slide the ball mount platform up and down to adjust the ball height, but it also prevents removal of the platform when the ball mount is installed, which will help prevent theft of your trailer.
A slot is cut into the adjustment channel near the top of the shank. To remove the ball mount platform from the shank you will need to remove the entire ball mount from your hitch. Then remove the pins that hold the platform in place. Flip the platform around to the stowed position on the rear of the shank, and then slide it up until the center pin lines up with the slot in the shank. Pull the platform out towards the rear of the shank until the pin pops out of the adjustment channel.
When the Tow & Stow is secured in your hitch receiver, you will not be able to remove the ball mount platform. This is because the slot in the shank is positioned in such a way that the collar on your hitch will block the pin on the platform from being able to leave the channel. Even if the pins holding the ball mount platform in place are removed, the platform will still be confined to this channel. So, as long as a hitch lock is used to secure the entire ball mount in your hitch receiver, and a coupler lock is used to prevent your trailer's coupler from being disengaged from the ball, your trailer will be secure.

Awesome product & service. We have B & W adjustable hitches installed on all of our trucks. As we tow various trailers with various trucks these hitches are the ticket, best ever made & excellent quality.
Awesome job on etrailers service, wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you
by: Odie11/12/2022
I’ve ordered several things from etrailer. Each time you got me my stuff within just a few days. All products were in perfect condition and packaged well. It was the same with this hitch. Thanks for a great product with a reasonable price.
by: Chris 11/02/2022
This is the second B%W Tow and Stow receiver I've purchased. I still have the first and it worked and held up very well through our crappy Michigan winters. The road salt makes a mess out of everything on our trucks, but this receiver has held up better then the others I've purchased over the years. Also really easy to switch from 2" to 2-5/16" ball.
by: Steve 11/27/2022
The real deal - The B&W Tow & Stow is very well machined and built. - Buy it.
by: Bud 10/01/2022
Great well built hitch and timely delivery by etrailer. Adjustments are simple. Just complete a 12000 mi camper trip to Alaska and back. Performed very well and compatible with Rock Guards also purchased here.
by: Cesar10/21/2022
Steven was great!!!great customer service, Would definitely buy from etrailer again, ordered tow ball hitch shipped and deliver as quoted super fast shipping!!
by: Jeffrey 06/03/2021
B&W hitches are great hitches. I ordered a new one that will pull 14k. My original was 10k. Very important to keep the pins lubed, otherwise they will freeze into place.
Comments
Great product. Works well as long as you lubricate the pins
Jeffrey O - 06/06/2022by: Rowan11/18/2022
This reciever is amazing. I use it to pull four different trailers, all of which are different heights. The easy adjust makes changing trailers a breeze.
by: William 08/16/2022
Every time I mow I have to move different equipment and boats around so I can mow were they were at. Each trailer has a different ball size. It is a great time saver and so easy to change to whatever ball size I need. I'm well pleased with the B&W Tow and Stow and how quickly I receive anything I order from etrailer.
by: John 12/21/2022
Awesome hitch, installed on company F450 work truck, have the 3 ball setup on my personal F450, I'd buy a third one if I had another truck to put it on
by: Daniel 09/22/2022
Great hitch, super useful. Maybe could have gone with the 3 ball version but haven’t needed it yet. ETrailer made purchasing easy and customer service was on point.
by: Ken 12/03/2022
This is a fantastic product. We use it to haul trailer houses.
by: Morgan 11/16/2022
Very nice high quality hitch. All the pins fit really nice. Even when all the pins are removed the hitch doesn't fall to pieces.
by: Jason09/16/2022
Fitment and style go above and beyond! Delivery was faster than expected
by: Brian 10/07/2022
Have them on two trucks. Works well and saves a lot of time as I have several trailers with different size hitches.

Excellent product. It has done everything I expected. I also have a B&W 5th Wheel Hitch. All of there products are second to none.
by: Dana07/16/2021
Great service, hitch was supposed to come in a week, it came in two days. Have previous experience with B&W , just wanted to upgrade to heavier duty version. Thanks, will definitely order again.
by: Justin 09/01/2022
Etrailer is the best customer service and for any of my trailer needs I will be ordering from Etrailer Because they get it here when you need it no matter what is going on in this crazy world. Also Cheryl is the best rep they have because she tells it like it is and let’s you know how it is with no B.S. and I’m thankful for that !
by: 10/18/2022
Nice looking hitch, get lots of compliments. Pull a 10K dump trailer and flatbed with skid steer...no problem
by: X. Vang06/22/2017
I did not expect the product to be this great. The material are good to go. I really like the fact that the tow hitch set has some pretty serious weight to it. Knowing that gives me a peace of mind when I tow. This product was build to last. You will get what you paid for and every dime was worth it! Highly recommend.

One year has passed and the tow hitch stands strong. The quality of this hitch is still worth every penny out fourth. Thank You for such a great product. Highly recommend.
X. V - 06/22/2018by: Craig 08/16/2022
I just received the it today. It was delivered quickly. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it is obviously very well made and rugged. Obviously a quality hitch. I love the way it stows out of the way when youre not using it. I'm sure I am going to be very pleased with this purchase.

Works like a dream! Only hitch I will ever own!

view full answer... - How to Determine Drop of Adjustable Ball Mount NeededTo determine the amount of rise/drop you'll need, take a measurement from the inside top edge of the hitch receiver tube to the ground. Then, measure from the bottom of the trailer coupler to the ground. The difference between the two numbers will be the rise of drop you need. If the hitch sits taller than the trailer coupler, you'll need a drop. If the coupler sits taller, you'll need a ball mount with a rise. I'll link to a help article that shows exactly how to do this. Here's a couple...
view full answer... - Which B and W Adjustable Ball Mount for 2021 Ford F-250 Super DutyThe amount of drop you'd need from an adjustable B and W Tow and Stow ball mount for your 2021 Ford F-250 really depends on the the trailer you'd be towing but most likely if the trailer is larger you'd get by with the 5 inch drop version part # BWTS20037B but let's say it's a smaller camper with smaller wheels and tires you'd probably need the 7-1/2 inch drop part # BWTS20040B. I attached a help article on how to determine the correct amount of rise/drop you'd need to tow your trailer level.
view full answer... - Can the B&W BWTS20037B Be Stowed on a 2018 Chevy 3500HD?As the ball on the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS20037B can be turned parallel to the ground, you should not have an issue using the 5 inch drop. That being said, if you do need more drop, the 7 inch drop # BWTS20040B will be the better option.
view full answer... - How Tall Is The B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20040B To Maintain The Recommended 11" Clearance?I reached out to B&W to verify the height of the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20040B. They informed me from the top of the hitch to the lowest point will be 11.1" This would only give you approximately 10.4" of clearance. You will want to step down to the 5" Drop # BWTS20037B to maintain the 11" of clearance required when used in the lowest position unless you plan on lifting your 2022 Ford F-250.

This is a fit for 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver openings and I recommend you protect this investment using a hitch lock like # e98881. We also have the ball mount in chrome # BWTS20037C. I've attached some videos of these products to assist.

The measurement you're looking for is the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver on the truck minus the distance from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer while level. You'll then want...

This is the case for most ball mounts as well but if you let me know exactly which one you have then I can confirm this for you. Please note, you will want the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler to be equal or close to the distance from the ground to the top inside...

The ball mount is designed so that you can only remove it by removing the shank of the hitch ball out of your hitch receiver first. After that you can flip the ball mount to the underside of the shank and remove it. If you have a locking hitch pin it will help deter theft of your ball mount.

- Adjustable Ball Mount for 2-1/2 Inch Hitches made in the USACurt trailer hitches are manufactured in the USA but not the supplemental parts like ball mount # C45902. For one that is made in the USA and is similar I recommend # BWTS20037B. But it maxes out at 14.5K with the 2-5/16 inch ball. The Curt model # C45902 is the only option we have in an adjustable ball mount for 2-1/2 inch hitches that can reach 20K. For a few dollars more you can get the tri-ball model # BWTS20048B. I have linked a video of it for you.

To secure your ball mount or accessory, I recommend using the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Trailer Hitches # 63232.

If you are looking for something a bit lighter, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2.5" Hitch # BWTS20037B. This hitch weighs only 31 pounds, which is considerably lighter. The Tow & Stow also comes with the same 2-inch and 2-5/15 inch balls as the Gen-Y. It also provides you with a 5-inch rise and enough weight capacity for your 13.5k trailer (when using the 2-15/16 inch ball). It is important to note that...

This hitch has the added attachment points to give your truck the structure it needs. This will save you from welding any cross brace onto your truck or living with the stacked look you don't like.
