Will the Pintle Hook/Hitch Ball Combo Fit on a Standard B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount

Updated 04/02/2019 | Published 04/01/2019

Question:

Hello, I have this hitch and love it, I would like to purchase the 2 5/16” pintle adapter for this hitch, to use on the main hitch that goes into the receiver, can it be purchased separately? I don’t need another main hitch part, just the pintle assembly, thanks

I am glad to hear how much you love your B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10049B. I would be happy to get you a similar pintle hook and hitch ball combo as well but unfortunately it is not as easy as just using an adapter on the one you have now. The reason that this cannot be done is that the shank on the ball mount you have now is different than the one on the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball part # BWTS10056, therefore the pintle hook/hitch ball position of this ball mount cannot be transferred onto the shank you have now as they are just simply not compatible.

The only way to obtain the pintle hook/hitch ball with the Tow & Stow feature is to purchase the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball part # BWTS10056 separately.
