Gen-Y Offset Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - 2019 GMC Sierra 2500- Video
Hi, everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at Gen-Y's Offset Gooseneck Ball for your factory prep package and we're gonna see how it fits on our 2019 GMC Sierra 2500. Now, why would you want something with an offset ball like this Well, if you're like us and you don't have the eight foot bed, then you might find yourself wanting for some extra turning clearance, and it's really just gonna depend on the truck and trailer combination you have. But especially if you're towing, say like a fifth-wheel camper that you've converted to hook up to a gooseneck ball, and that camper has a really large nose, or say, you've got a horse trailer with a big sleeping quarters in the front, you might find yourself needing that extra turning clearance because you just have more mass up there, and the closer it sits at the cab, the more unnerving it's probably gonna be when you are having to make a tight turn or back into a spot. This kit is gonna give you a five inch offset, so it's gonna put everything five inches closer to the tailgate of your truck, and that can be a really big difference when making those tight turns between hitting your cab and having the proper clearance to make that turn. The one thing I'll say with this though is that it isn't a full kit. more

Hey everyone, Ryan here at Etrailer. Today on our 2023 GMC Sierra 3500, we're gonna be checking out the Gen-Y offset goose ball for trucks that have the OEM prep package. So it's pretty convenient now. You know, if you're looking for a goose ball set up, your truck has this prep package, you can just take this, drop it right into that factory hitch, and give you that attachment point. Now with that said, this particular one is set up for short bed trucks, but if you happen to have a long bed and you're wanting to use this, they have pretty much the identical kit that's just designed for those long bed type trucks. Now, being that this is an offset ball, that means where the original or factory goose ball opening is, you drop that in there, but your ball is going to be offset five inches closer towards the back of the truck. more

1-7/8" Hitch Ball Review- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Curt 1-7/8" Trailer Ball. This is gonna be an extra long shank. So for something like bumper towing like we have here on our F-150, this is gonna be a great option. Now what separates this ball from a lot of other balls on the market, it's gonna be the extra long shank and this is gonna be a 3". So from the bottom of the ball platform to the bottom of the shank, this one is 3", which works out really well for mounting this up on our bumper. It's gonna work with ball mounts, so we're bumper platforms that are gonna be 1" to 2" thick and that's still gonna give us that nice secure mounting up, whereas another ball mount, the shank will be too short to be able to crank that down. more

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the CURT 1-7/8 Trailer Hitch Ball with an extra long shank on a 2023 Ford F-150. Now from the factory, not all F-150's come with a trailer hitch and if that's the case, you do have an option to mount up a ball on the bumper and be able to bumper tow, so that way you don't have to get a hitch or a ball mount. You can simply run it through the hole that's already there torque this down and then you'll have your ball ready to hook up to your trailer. Now what separates this ball from a lot of other balls on the market is gonna be the extra long shank and this is gonna be a 3 inch. So from the bottom of the ball platform to the bottom of the shank, this one is 3 inches, which works out really well for mounting this up on our bumper. It's gonna work with ball mounts or bumper platforms that are gonna be 1 inch to 2 inches thick and that's still gonna give us that nice secure mounting up, whereas another ball mount, the shank will be too short to be able to crank that down. more

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at Etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Curt inch and seven eighths trailer hitch ball. This one's rated at 3,500 pounds and has a built-in one inch rise. When hooking up your trailer, you try to get your coupler and trailer tongue to be exactly level with the towed vehicle. And sometimes you just need about an inch to get that perfectly set up. And instead of having to go out and buy a new ball mount, you can pick up a ball with that one inch rise already built in. So the ball mount we had had a two inch drop, but all we needed was a one inch drop. more

Curt 1-7/8" Hitch Ball Review- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Curt stainless steel inch and seven eighths ball mount. Now this is gonna be a great option if you have a smaller trailer with a coupler with an inch and seven eighths and you already have a ball mount because this just comes singular and this will bolt up to those ball mounts with a one inch diameter. Now this ball mount is gonna be rated at 3,500 pounds, which is gonna be great. So anytime when towing any trailer, you're gonna want to take a look at all of your components. So this one being rated at 3,500 pounds. We have this on a 7,500 pound rated ball mount, but we also need to check the hitch as well as the towed vehicle to make sure that they're all capable of towing that. more

The Low-Down on the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball-BWHB94001- Video
Hello neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the B&W 2 5/16 trailer ball with a 1 inch diameter and a 12,000 pound weight capacity. Now we have this on our weight distribution hitch today because we swapped from a 2 inch ball to a 2 5/16 ball, and this is gonna be a great option for that, but also it's gonna work on your ball mount if you have that 1 inch diameter. And this is a pretty heavy-duty ball. So for something like our Duramax that we have here today, it's gonna be a great option. Now this ball is a heat-treated steel, and it's got a raw finish, meaning it's not chrome, it's not painted, and that means it's not really gonna scratch. more

Now this is rated at 14,000 pounds, and is gonna work with a ball mount that has 1-1/4" diameter opening for that shank. And this shank is gonna come in at a distance of 2-3/4". How many times, when you pick up a ball mount, it doesn't come with a ball, and that's where this comes into play. You can custom cater this to the trailer that you're using. So if you have a 2-5/16" coupler, this is gonna be a great option. more

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Equal-i-zer trailer hitch ball in a 2 5/16 configuration.

Now our neighbor picked up an Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch that they're gonna be towing their enclosed trailer with and included was a two inch ball, but the coupler on their trailer is a 2 5/16 so the ball doesn't ever come pre-installed on the weight distribution hitch. So now's a good time to make sure we have the right ball. This is gonna work out great. It's got the 1 1/4 diameter for the shank and this is designed for the weight distribution hitch. more
