dimensional diagram

This unique adjustable ball mount from Gen-Y Hitch has a vertical shank that is made up of 4 stacked 2-1/2" receivers. This lets you easily adjust the height of the included ball mount, or any other accessory you choose to use. This mount also has built-in shock absorption to ensure a safe, smooth towing experience. Using technology similar to that found in torsion trailer axles, the Gen-Y mount absorbs road shock, isolating any rough jarring or chucking at the connection point. This prevents the rough motion from transferring from the vehicle to the trailer and vice versa.


Built-In Shock Absorption for a Smooth Ride

Driving over bumps, potholes, and uneven terrain causes road shock, which can result in a rough, bumpy ride and even potentially damage your vehicle or trailer. This Gen-Y Hitch torsion mount is designed to absorb road shock at the connection point to create a safe, smooth ride. This is thanks to the internal construction of the mount, which is similar to that of a torsion axle.


torsion w/cutaway

Pivot points are built into the Gen-Y mount. This allows for movement between the base, which slides into your vehicle's trailer hitch, and the stacked receivers, which provide the connection point for your trailer. When your trailer hits a bump, the stacked receiver portion of the mount will move up or down accordingly.


torsion diagram

Built into the Gen-Y mount are tubes with inner bars that are surrounded by rubber cords. As the receivers rise or fall, these inner bars twist inside of the tubes, attempting to follow the receivers' motion. But the rubber cords prevent the bars from twisting too far. And as each bar turns, these cords compress to absorb the shock. This means that any shock experienced by your truck can be absorbed before it reaches your trailer, and the shock experienced by your trailer won't get transferred to your truck.


This type of shock-absorption system is easy to maintain. Just regularly apply grease to the built-in zerk to keep the components in working condition. No airbags to fill. No small parts to repair or replace. No hassle.


Multiple Stacked Receivers for Easy Adjustment

stacked receivers

This unique mount from Gen-Y Hitch includes a ball mount that can be easily positioned in one of the 4 stacked receivers that sits along the vertical shank of the unit. This dual-ball mount lets you tow a trailer with a 2" ball coupler or a 2-5/16" ball coupler.


pintle hitch

Also included is a pintle lock, which can be inserted into the receiver directly above the ball mount to create a pintle hitch for hooking up a trailer with a lunette ring. Unlike other adjustable pintle hooks on the market, there are no nuts and bolts to remove and retorque when you change the positioning of this hitch. Just move the ball mount and pintle lock up or down to get the proper height and secure them in place with the included pins.

I just received the hitch and installed it but have not had a chance to pull with it. It appears to be very well made and is a heavy hitch at 118lbs. I have a 45ft coach and pull a 16k stacker trailer so will see how it does. Will update in a couple of weeks.



by:

I pull a 22k stacker trailer with about 3000lb of tongue weight with a class A pusher with a custom receiver hitch that I had built for it. Decided to try the gen y after talking with someone else who swore by it. After driving cross country I can say it improved the ride quality dramatically. Worth every penny



by:

Great hitch, I have worked it pretty hard, and had no issues so far.



by:

Wish it came with 2 locking pins instead, even if it cost more. Makes a difference pulling equipment or dump trailers full of dirt or concrete. Almost dropped a star because all the attention it gets.



by:

Looks like very high quality hitch. Cant wait to try it out. Not for removal when not in use unless you need a good workout! Shipping weight is 120 pounds!



by:

Best costumer service, fast delivery, this company its very easy to do business with, 5 star service! Will do business again soon!

Fast shipping and great costumer servic e!

I've used the hitch a few times and I can tell it's built well. I'm confident this might be the last hitch I'll have to buy. It's durable, has adjustable height and I can use my weight distributing hitch with it. It covers all bases and also has a dampening system.



by:

Love the height adjustment for all 3 of my trailers suuper solid, I get compliments all the time when people see it "wow that things stout!" Keeps the trailer tongue from excessive bobbing, the pins it came with are a huge improvement from the standard Bobby pin style I was used to. Over all I do not regret a dollar spent and would highly recommend to anyone looking for an initial purchase or upgrade their tow life



by:

I did my research before ordering. I know exactly what I need and want. My boat trailer tongue weight is 750lbs so I went with the Gen-Y Torsion Flex 2" Hitch - 7.5" Drop/Rise 10k. (Works Best with 400-1,000lbs tongue weight). Also got the BEST price due to their 110% Price Match Guarantee.



by:

This hitch is amazing!!! Be prepared though it is very heavy! I love how easy it is to adjust to different heights and ball sizes with the 2 common sizes provided. The scale on the back can be helpful to let you know if you have the proper trailer weight. The more you use it the more you will like it!



by:

I love this heavy duty--emphasis on HEAVY--hitch! I barely felt my trailer on my truck while driving it was so smooth! The only drawback is how heavy it is... It is a bit of a feat for me to lift and insert then remove this hitch at the end of a race weekend--but I feel it is well worth it!



by: 07/22/2024

Works perfect!



by:

THis is our second Boss hitch they are wonderful and function just as designed to smooth out the impacts between the truck and rig. Had a slight issue with the first delivery but E-Trailer replaced it no questions asked and two days later the new one showed up and the UPS driver took away the first. Great customer service which is very rare these dasys.



by:

Perfect, my second GenY Torsion hitch. Upgrading to the 21K from the 16K. There's not even a close second.



by:

Hugh difference pulling my 24ft bumper pull deck over. Ride is much smoother with a lot less energy transfer between truck and trailer.



by:

It was well packaged shipping was great received it within a week installation was easy weighing only 73 pounds. It does affect the center back up sensors on a 2022 , 3500 long bed ram pick up.



by:

Extremely well built and pulls the trailer amazingly but is extremely heavy

  • Where is Tongue Weight Scale on Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount
    Hi Ben; if you're looking for a traditional gauge on the # GY79FR you aren't going to find one. The tongue weight scale is the red and green marking on the arms as seen in the picture below. The red section at the top indicates your max tongue weight of 3,500 lbs and the red at the bottom is for 0 lbs. You want the white marker to be in the green for the built-in shock absorption to function effectively (should be at least 2,000 lbs of tongue weight). I wasn't able to find your order but...

  • Why Doesn't the Gen-Y Torsion Ball Mount Have Set Screws To Secure Ball and Pintle Latch?
    The Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2-1/2" Hitch - 6" Drop/Rise - 32K # GY79FR is not an older model. It is a newer model that has the rounded portion that is like a ramp on the ball mount to help with the lunette ring where the older models didn't have that. There are some models that have the additional threaded holes you referenced but not all of them have that option.

  • Why is Gen-Y Torsion 32K Ball Mount Rated So Much Higher Than Class V Hitch Receivers
    Ball mounts, like the 32K Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch # GY79FR, are tested apart from trailer hitch receivers. You always want to abide by the lowest rated component so in this case you can essentially look at Gen-Y being overachievers and bragging about it. It's not unusual for the hitch receiver on any given truck to be rated for more than what the truck is capable of pulling either so it's always best policy to check the weight ratings for each piece in the towing puzzle...

  • Best Hitch Lock For 32k Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount For 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
    Definitely, as there is one hitch lock that stands above the rest for the Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 3" Rise/6" Drop - 32K # GY79FR: - InfiniteRule Hitch Lock Gen-Y 32K Ball Mount # 34061080-D The # 34061080-D is the best because, simply put, it is the strongest lock, with a whopping 42,000 lb shear strength. This lock will easily give you the most possible protection for the Gen-Y ball mount, keeping it safely in your 2-1/2" hitch receiver.

  • Hitch Lock Recommendation for 32K Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch

  • Anti-Sway Option for a 24,000 GVW Bumper Pull Trailer
    Hey Tom, thanks for reaching out! The BOSS Gen-Y 2-Ball Mount would be the best option since it has the torsion for cushioning and the 32K max weight rating. This is available for 2-1/2" and 3" receivers so you'll choose from the following: - 2-1/2" Hitch # GY79FR - 3" Hitch # GY25NR The torsion part isn't really designed for side-to-side sway, but it will help you have a smoother towing experience with such a heavy-duty trailer. I haven't seen any weight distribution/sway control...
