Today we'll be reviewing part number 63013. This is the pintle hook from Tow Ready. It's going to provide a gross towing weight of 10,000 pounds to a maximum ton weight of 2000 pounds. The pintle hook can be bolted to a pintle hitch mount or directly to a reinforced truck bumper. All the mounting hardware that you need is included. It's made from a steel construction with a powder coat finish, so it's going to stand up really well against rust and corrosion. If we take a look at the mount holes they're going to give us a diameter of 17/32 of an inch.
Measuring center on center this direction is going to measure 3 3/8 inch. Center on center up and down is going to measure 1 3/4 inch. To gain access to make a connection all you got to do is release the pin, lift up on the T handle and pull the hook back. Then you can connect here to the net 00:00:49 ring. If we take a measurement of the inside distance here it's going to give us an opening of 1 3/4 inch. The safety pin and clip is attached with a chain so we don't got to worry about losing it.
This system is also really easy to install. Today for our demonstration we're going to show you how to install it on a pintle hitch mount. All you have to do is place it up to the mount, line up the mount hole that you want to use, place the bolts through. For our demonstration I'm just going to do the top two. On the back side all you have to do is install your lock washer and secure it by tightening down the nuts.
Once you have all four bolts installed along with all the rest of the hardware you should be ready to make your connection point and get out on the road. That's going to do it for our review of part number 63013. This is the pintle hook from tow ready rated at 10,000 pounds. .

Very satisfied with the pintle hook.
However, the ball mount (63058), as arrived, did not fit my receiver in the truck. Yes, it is 2x2 inch but the corners are not rounded like they should be. I had to use the file and to file 4 corners of the shank section which slides into my truck hitch receiver. It did not take much time to do it but it would be nice if the Etrailer contacts the manufacturer so that they can make required minor change.
I am very happy with a quick shipment of these items and great packaging of these heavy items. I would highly recommend the Etrailer to anybody who needs good parts for the trailer at a good price and for a very quick deliver.
I sell only ETRAILER pintle hooks and pintle hook combos. At my shop. And word of mouth and the function of this pintle hook and the others I stock.Is why I use Etrailer for my customers needs. Thank You! Darlene P.

thank you for the follow up. I just love this product. I have alsobought other sizes. And I am so happy with those as well.I will never purchase any other brand of pintle hook combos.
works great
Just what I needed to tow my military surplus trailer behind my truck or FJ Cruiser! The safety pin is an added feature that gives one peace of mind while going off-road, especially.

Great! Still feeling good about that extra-security locking pin.
i would not think of stocking my shelves with anything but Etrailer products. I get 3 different PINTLE HOOK COMBOS and they are the best. I get nothing but compliments on this product. Some think they are pricey but after they try it,they come back every time. Thank you Etrailer.
I've been using this hitch with my custom built off road travel trailer, and it has been working perfectly. It's far beyond the weight of my trailer, but I notice no bumping or any annoyances when towing with it.
This product is great. Strong and simple. Does exactally what its supposed to do. Will buy this for all vehicles in my fleet.
Thank you etrailer for the great product! You guys also deserve a 5 star rating for you excellent customer care and service, great pricing, and fast shipping!

Great product.
Heavy duty equipment. Well made
Everything perfect Thank you
I needed a new pintle to haul my tractor. This one is perfect and heavy duty.
I have only used this hitch a few times, having recently purchased it. I like to see reviews after a product has seen some use. Pintle hitches are a simple mechanism, this one seems to be beefy and well made. There is a little lip at the top of the hook you can see in the listing photo if you look and already know it's there, If things are tight this is enough to catch on the loop when you are trying to unhook. If you are jacking up an already heavy trailer, this is a 30K lb hook, and can't get free of the truck it can be frustrating.
Easy lightweight and simple to use! The only issue I’ve had is the chain has come off the locking pin a couple of times, I think I’m going to get a locking pin to replace this one. I deliver motorhomes professionally and this has helped my pre and post trip times a lot, plus it’s so much easier to remove this and throw it in my vehicle when it’s raining than having to wrestle a whole hitch mounted towbar.
Works great and more than anything else, it makes me feel safe that the trailer cannot come loose from my vehicle.
Lots of stress lessened when towing.
These folks are great to work with and even helped me get one quicker than normal due to some uncontrollable circumstances I found myself in.
