Expert Reply:
The etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2-5/16" Ball - 2" Hitch - 2" Drop # e27DR is going to be just as good of quality as Draw-Tite or Curt ball mounts, but it does have a few benefits that stand out compared to other options. The etrailer option has a matte black finish which looks really nice and blends in with original factory appearance; also the ball and pin are coated in black nickel which holds up better than standard chrome. Also, etrailer designed and tested these ball mounts, so we know it's good!
For reference, here is a comparable Draw-Tite ball mount Draw-Tite Ball Mount - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop # 40343 which also requires a ball like 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40007. This means you'll have to torque the ball down onto the ball mount, but most hand tools will not be strong enough so you may need to take it to an automotive shop. It would be much easier to get the pre-torqued option from etrailer # e27DR .
