Question:
I'm looking for an aluminum ball mount for my 2023 F-150. I've used a standard one for a while now but I keep it on the truck year-long and eventually the rust gets to it. what do you recommend?

Hey Arron,
I have the perfect solution for you with the Weigh Safe 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch # WS64MR because it has that aluminum construction you're looking for, and the hitch balls are stainless steel so you can be confident they will last for a really long time.
It sounds like you'll be keeping this one on your truck full-time as well, so I also recommend picking up the Locking Hitch Pin # WS54CR to help deter theft and give you some peace of mind.

Hey Arron, how did the Weigh Safe 180 Hitch work out on your F-150? Did the aluminum build hold up better against rust like you were hoping? Your update could make it easier for others who keep their hitch on year-round.
