This is my second pintle mount from Conver-A-Ball I bent the first one when my pintle hook bound on the ring of my trailer. The first lasted for many years, and hopefully this replacement will too.

The website is very easy to use and very descriptive of all the products. The shipment was super fast, the mount arrived at my door three days after purchase. The cushion feature of the mount makes for very gentle stops with my 16' enclosed trailer and my dump trailer. Excellent product and excellent service all around.
Thanks George!
I will definitely use this site again for future purchases...

Product's shaft edges are so rounded it slaps around in my receiver quite a bit, I hope it works better with a trailer attached.

Good product and was everything I dreamed it would be. Couldn't be be more happy I'm towing stuff all over the place.
by: Thomas08/18/2020
Seems to be adequate. Gave it a lower grade because it does not have a permanent marking/stamp listing weight limit, just a sticker, which will eventually fall off...

I absolutely love this hitch!!! I regularly tow 9-10,000lbs total load (tractor and trailer). Pintle are great but noisy and tend to slam and transfer that shock to the truck. I ran a ball style of this hitch years ago and noticed a difference with that so figured I would give this a shot. I don't notice or feel any more slamming while coming to a stop or taking off! What a major comfort improvement over the rigid hitch. My only complaint, seeing as I live in New England with salty roads is that the actual sliding block inside the hitch is bare metal. It's rusting up and froze my pin inside it. Got the pin out with a air hammer and patience but now am going to soak it down. I've only owned this for a year and that's the only complaint I have

Not only was the online ordering extremely easy, but etrailer reps provided outstanding follow up sending me updates on the status of my order. I received a message thanking me and a projected shipping date. Then a very rare thing occurred...they not only shipped it earlier than initially thought but they took it upon themselves to upgrade my delivery option at no cost to me! My order arrived in perfect shape, exactly what I ordered, and 5 days early. You simply do not see that kind of service anymore. Consider me a very happy customer who will always look to etrailer first on future orders! Many thanks!

See what our Experts say about this Convert-A-Ball Pintle Hitch
- What Amount of Drop is Provided by Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Pintle Mount for 2-Inch Hitches # AMPC3My contact at Convert-A-Ball advises that their 10-Hole Cushioned Pintle Mounting Bar for 2-inch hitches, part # AMPC3, will provide you with your required 6 inches of drop. Their 8-hole version, part # AMPC2, will provide only 4 to 5 inches of drop. You can use the AMPC3 mounting bar with the Convert-A-Ball Pintle Hook Combo, part # PH1. This combo kit includes a pintle hitch and three interchangeable hitch balls, 1-7/8-inch, 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch. A set of 4 bolts, nuts and washers...

view full answer... - Is it Safe to Flip the 10 Hole Cushioned Pintle Mounting Bar and Use The Top Set Of Holes To TowYes, it is okay to use the 10 hole Cushioned Pintle Mounting Bar, part number AMPC3, in the rise position and use the top four holes to mount your ring, as long as you stay within the weight rating of the ring, mounting bar, hitch and towing vehicle, whichever is the lowest capacity.
view full answer... - Convert-a-Ball Cushioned Pintle Mounting Bar MeasurementsThe center of the pin hole is 5-1/2 inches from the back of the mounting plate on the Cushioned Pintle Mounting Bar, part # AMPC3.

view full answer... - Ball Mount with Pintle Attachment, 2 Inch Ball, and 2-5/16 Inch BallI have a great solution for you. Take a look at the Convert-A-Ball Pintle Hook Combo with 3 Stainless Steel Balls # PH1. It comes with a pintle attachment and all 3 common ball sizes. The only other part needed is a shank such as # AMPC3, # AMPC2, or # AMPC1; all of which are cushioned.
view full answer... - Pintle and Hitch Ball Combo Hook RecommendationThe best option we have is the part # PH1 this is a combination pintle hook with all three common hitch ball sizes. 1-7/8, 2 and 2-5/16 inch. The pintle section has a 25k capacity but the balls have a considerable lower capacity at 10k for the two larger ball sizes and 3,500 for the smallest. You would also need the adjustable mounting plate # AMPC3.
view full answer... - Mounting Plate Available For a Pintle Hook Which Can Be Used In The Rise Position The Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # C48341 was only designed and engineered by Curt to be used in the drop position. I recommend using the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned, Adjustable Pintle Mounting Bar # AMPC3 if you need a mounting plate for use in the rise position. This mount has a cushion built into the hitch to help reduce shock transferred from the trailer to your tow vehicle.

view full answer... - Availability of a Pintle Hook Mounting Plate Rated for 10,000 PoundsThe capacity of the Pintle Hook Mount, # 63058, is 8,000 pounds maximum no matter how it is mounted. Any more weight on it than that could cause the unit to fail and would void the warranty. We have a cushioned mount with 10 holes rated for 10,000 pounds, # AMPC3. I have included a link to a video review for you. There is also a 7-1/2 inch tall Tow Ready model, # 63059, rated for 12,000 pounds. These 2 options are going to get you the closest to the height of the 8K model with the capacity...
