Part Needed to Change 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball to 2 Inch Hitch Ball on Trailer Valet XL

Question

Question:

I ordered the trailer valet XL with the 2- 5/16 ball but actually need the 2inch ball. Is the shaft diameter the same on both? As in, I can just get the smaller ball to fit my current locking nut/rotating coupler? I have only one trailer so wont ever have a need for the 2-5/16inch ball I have.

To provide a 2 inch hitch ball for your Trailer Valet XL # TVXL25 that came with a 2-5/16 inch ball, you can use the 2 Inch Hitch Ball for Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly # TVHB2. This part number will provide you with a new 2 inch diameter ball for your dolly.

The bases for the 2 inch ball and 2-5/16 inch ball are the same, so you can swap out one diameter ball for the other. My contact at Trailer Valet says it will just take a good wrench to remove the 2-5/16 inch ball and install the 2 inch ball into your existing base.

If you would like to be able to switch between the 2 inch ball and 2-5/16 inch ball more easily, you can use the 2 Inch Hitch Ball with Base for Trailer Valet XL # TVBB2. This hitch ball will come with the base already installed and will make it easier to switch back and forth between the hitch balls.

The base simply makes exchanging between two hitch ball options easy because no wrench is required. Since it sounds like you simply need the 2 inch ball you will just need the hitch ball #TVHB2 and not the combination with the base. This hitch ball…

The Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive #TVXL2 has the 2 inch ball. If you already have the Traler Valet and just need the 2 inch ball, then you will want #TVHB2 or the base and ball #TVBB2.
