I have used B&W hitches for many years and I've been very happy with the quality of their products. etrailer makes it easy to shop for these hitches since the B&W site is terrible. I was able to find the correct size and all dimensions were listed clearly. Thanks again!

heavy solid fits thanks

It is refreshing to still see American companies selling “Made in USA” quality these days.



by:

Ball mount is awesome and super high quality and heavy duty over and above what I will need to tow my 7000 pound car trailer but I like it that way! Great job to everyone involved. My hat is off to the fabricators, made in USA Mount arrived without a nick, perfect weld marks and flawless show quality paint job. I may not even use it, it is that nice. Maybe put it in a display case and start a collection. Fast shipping, 2 days



by:

Really heavy duty solid steel 2 inch square, really thick steel tongue and and tight fitting hole for the ball bolt so little chance of ball rattle or slipping. Nice smooth welding and finish.



by:

Product is extremely heavy duty. much more than I will need, but I appreciate quality made is USA products. Etrailer packaging not so great. Box was torn by weight of this item, which caused a chip in the finish of the item.



by:

Great product would purchase again.



by:

Solid shaft, weighty, but expecting a long life from it. I'll have to hunt around for someone who has the right tool for getting [torque specs] on the ball, but shouldn't be a big problem. Package tracking was excellent and on time.



by:

Made from solid bar stock. B&W Made in the USA can not go wrong. Thank you Stacy for helping me order this product.

  • Compatibility of Curt Class IV with Spare Tire of 2013 Ram 1500 ST
    The rearmost frame cross member or bumper beam of your Ram is essentially the OEM hitch minus the receiver opening. The OEM hitch can be completed so to speak using the Curt # 13333 which would provide a capacity of 6,000 lb gross towing/ 600 lb tongue weight. In order to achieve a higher tongue weight capacity (10,000 GTW/1,00TW), you would need to use the Curt Class IV # 14374 that uses the frame members for its two forward-most attachment points and the bumper beam for its rear attachment...

    Yes, this Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75140 that you referenced would work on your 1987 Dodge B 250 Sportsman Van. I attached installation instructions for you to check out if you like also.

  • Recommended Receiver Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness for 2007 Ford E350 Van
    The highest rated hitch available for your 2007 E350 would have a 10000 lb towing capacity. With the use of a weight distribution system, the capacity can be increased to 12000 lbs. I would recommend the Curt Class IV Receiver, part # 14055, which will use existing holes in the van frame. We offer the wiring harness with trailer connector, draw bar and trailer balls to complete your towing system, but they are not sold as part of a package. I would recommend the following: Wiring Harness...

  • Can a 2006 Chevy/GMC Silverado or Sierra 1500 Tow a 19ft 1968 Forester Camper
    To determine the capacity of your 2006 Chevy/GMC Silverado or Sierra 1500 you will want to check the owners manual. Trucks can be configured in so many different ways with different motor and transmission options that the easy way to determine capacity is to check the manual. If the truck has a towing capacity greater than the gross trailer weight of the 1968 Forester Camper then you will be good to go with the proper equipment. For a Trailer hitch you can get up to a 16k capacity hitch,...

  • Replacement Hitch Ball to Increase Ball Height
    It is always important to keep your trailer level when hitched to your tow vehicle and the two simplest ways to accomplish this are either a high-rise hitch ball such as the two you reviewed, parts # C40033 and # C40034, or a ball mount with the amount of rise you need. Either option will work. The hitch balls you referenced are shown in the linked photo; I have added the dimension above the mounting surface for each ball. If you have a 2-inch hitch receiver and want to use your existing...

  • 2-5/16 Hi-Rise Ball Options For Additional Height
    We have 2 high rise hitch balls that have the 2-5/16 inch diameter, and they both have the 1-1/4 inch shank. We have the 2 inch rise # C40034 and the 1 inch rise # C40033. There is not a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball that has a 1 inch shank. If you want a ball mount that will work with this, I recommend the B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount - 1" Rise, 2" Drop - 8-1/2" Long - 16,000 lbs # BWBMHD30010.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 1970 Ford F-100 Styleside with Standard Bumper
    Modification and/or relocation of the spare tire mounting bracket is going to be a possibility for any of the trailer hitches for your 1970 Ford F-100 styleside with standard bumper. The spare would have to be positioned further forward on the vehicle if it has to be moved at all. The only way to know for sure is to begin the installation process. There are no specific instructions if the spare does have to move. The most popular hitch option for your truck is # BWHDRH25122. I have included...

  • Square Corner Ball Mounts Will Not Fit in Factory Trailer Hitch to 1993 Ford F-250 Diesel
    What you are describing is a common problem with some factory hitches. You are correct, you do not want to grind away any of the metal of a ball mount to get it to fit. Removing some of the powder coat is acceptable provided you do not also remove any metal. What I recommend is looking for a ball mount with the more rounded corners. A ball mount like # BM20 has more rounded corners but it is rated for 10,000 pounds whereas the mount you referenced is rated for 16K. Cushioned ball mount...

  • Thickness of Hitch Ball Platform of B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount
    The thickness of the platform the hitch ball sits on is 1 inch for the B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount # BWBMHD30011. This ball mount has a 16,000 lb capacity and 1,600 lb tongue weight capacity while giving you either a 1 inch rise or 2 inch drop. To secure it to your hitch you'll need Pin & Clip # PC3. For a hitch ball, depending on the size you need, I recommend either 2" Hitch Ball # C69FR or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40008. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well...

  • Will Spare Tire Interfere with Trailer Hitch Installation on a 1978 GMC C/K Series Pickup Truck
    The Curt trailer hitch # C14082 is designed to attach to the bottom of a 34 inch wide frame on a cab and chassis model 1978 Chevy C/K series pickup. If the spare tire fits between the frame rails then it will not be a problem, otherwise it would need to be relocated or the mount modified. If you do not have a cab and chassis model truck this hitch will not fit. I have linked the instructions for you to view.

But there is a diagram in the instructions, linked for you, that shows the hitch installed in the proper position. The pin hole is nearly flush with the rear bumper. If you plan on doing some towing, the most popular ball mount for this hitch is # BWBMHD30010 and you can use pin and clip # PC3. For a 2 inch ball use # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball use # 19286.

    Yes, the B and W Heavy Duty trailer hitch part # BWHDRH25132 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 6 foot bed that has either a standard or step bumper. For a heavy duty hitch with as much capacity as this hitch has you really aren't going to find a better deal. For a ball mount you would want the part # BWBMHD30010 and then for a 2-5/16 inch ball part # BWHB94004.

This hitch is economically priced and can tow up to 6,000 pounds or 10,000 pounds with a proper weight distribution system, if your van has sufficient towing capacity.

The spare tire will need to be temporarily removed to install the hitch and then put back in place, or further forward if needed, after installation. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. Because your van has a step bumper, you may need a longer ball mount.

    The Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2-5/16" Ball part # C45041 is not made in the USA but we do have options that are like the B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount part # BWBMHD30010. This is not a complete kit though so you'd also need to add the 2-5/16" Hitch Bal part # BWHB94050 and Gen-Y Hitch Pin and Clip for 2" Hitches part # 325-GH-096. This setup is over twice the price of the one you picked out and requires you to still torque the hitch ball but it's made up of all USA components.

Part # BWBMHD30010 offers a 1 inch rise or 2 inch drop, part # 40331 has a 3 inch rise or 4 inch drop, and part # 40332 features a 5 inch rise or a 6 inch drop.
