Can Clevis Adapter For B&W Tow & Stow Be Used Like Pintle Hook
Question:
I have a tow and stow reciever hitch TS10049B with Draw Bar Attachment TS35100B can this be used like a BandW Tow and Stow Pintle Hook with 2 5/16 inch hitch Ball?

The shank of the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount, part # BWTS10049B can be used with the Clevis Adapter, part # BWTS35100B you said you have and can also work with the pintle hook that is included with part # BWTS10056. The clevis adapter BWTS35100B cannot be modified to be used like the pintle hook since it cannot be used with a trailer hitch ball. I confirmed this with my contact at B&W.
The platform pointed out in the attached photo of the BWTS10056 can be removed and the BWTS10056 can be used to connect to standard ball couplers for towing.

The tow and stow pintle hitch TS20056 states you can pull 16,000 # as a pintle, but only 10,000 if you use the 2 5/16" ball. The ball is rated for only 10,000. Can you put a 16,000# rated ball on it for a higher rating like the pintle? Doesn't make any sense to me why you can pull 16,000 as a pintle, but you cannot pull more than 10,000# even if you change the ball. This is what B&W customer service told me.

I’m running into the same issue. I have a 2500HD and want full 14,500 lb tow capacity. If I buy the pintle it reduces my ball mount capacity to 10,000. If I buy tow and stow I get full tow capacity. I had same idea to use tow bar as pintle lock. Question is why on pintle does capacity reduce to 10,000 in tow ball mode, doesn’t make sense. Are they just trying to sell you both a tow and stow and pintle attachment. I don’t want to have to switch attachment and stowed position is needed. In my application I switch between 2”, 2 5/16, and pintle on a daily basis. Can you check with B&W and provide me with options. Thanks!
