Gone are the days I need to carry three different hitches with different sized balls on them. Gone are the days when I, or others, walked around the back of my truck and cracked their shin on a protruding trailer hitch. I keep this folded up in front of the drop where it's not going to catch anyone by surprise. When I'm ready to use it, I simply pull two pins out which allows it to drop free and rotate out. I choose the height I need and install the two pins/clips. To rotate the balls, again simply pull the third pin and rotate to desired size. It was more than I wanted to spend at the time but since I'm glad I spent the money.



by:

Very impressed with it. It is a really solid hitch Probably overkill for my F150 and 10' utility trailer, but rather have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.



by:

Super convenient and well worth the money. All 3 of my trailers have a different ball size, and this is a breeze compared to constantly swapping tow hitches. Keep the pins well lubricated, and they slide well maintain their appearance.



by:

This has been one of the best hitches that I have owned. It is adjustable to change between my Jeep Wrangler and my Ford F-150 Limited. Both have different tow heights and tow needs based on trailer type and payload capacity. This hitch has worked great for those purposes!



by:

Super hitch. Best money spent for towing so far. Prompt shipping and a pleasure to buy from this vendor! Thrilled with my experience and will look here for all my trailer and towing needs.



by:

The last time I had to change out a hitch was over a year ago. It's been a great buy. The initial price shock has been long forgotten as it performs exactly as you need it to. I will always have one of these on any truck I own.



by:

I should not be rating this item. I am disappointed! I was led to believe that this would work on my 2022 GMC Elevation when my tailgate was down. It does not, in fact, it messed up my back up camera. I have never used it. I removed it and now it's in my garage. Is there something that you all can do?

I am not sure as to what may have happened however I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. The ball mount that will work with the tail gate would be part # BW49FR.



by:

This hitch setup is top notch! Very heavy duty. I went with this setup over cheaper similar options because those other 3 piece options that are similar just seemed clunky and held together by a lot pins with lose tolerances (IE recipe for wiggling and rattling), not to mention multiple stress points. This B&W unit is sleek and solid, no wiggling around, and tucks up out of the way nicely when not in use...which is more handy than you would think!

We are using this on a 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn with factory air suspension.

Tough as nails! Quiet, too!

Installation went well but with mine being an underslung trailer there were some challenges getting it set up. B&W had me text them photos and got an engineer on the phone with me. I can't say enough about their service, they are awesome. He looked at my picture and made some other suggestions to make the hitch work better with my trailer.

I took the trailer out for a test run for about 20 miles. We had very little wind, but the hitch overall performed really well. It was one hand on the steering wheel for me; a very enjoyable ride. I was able to pull into a gas station and make a few fine adjustments in the span of 5 minutes which is what I really love. With my other old-style hitch when I stopped to make adjustments, it took 30 minutes. This is a very well-made product, and I'm looking forward to camping with it soon! I'm running an F150 with a 2015 Jayco 29QBS.

Very well built product. Customer service has been excellent!!!!!

Most versatile hitch I have ever had. 10 of 10 recommend!

@David Awesome, great to hear that!


by:

Great. I switch from utility trailer to boat trailer to cargo hauler with just a quick rotate. If you work with all these ball sizes regularly, itā€™s fabulous. It is expensive though, so if I only rarely switched trailers, Iā€™d just get 2 standard hitches. After a year, I do notice some squeal on turns, so some maintenance is probably in order.



by:

Quick and easy!



by:

Great service a usual.



by:

It has worked well!



by:

Super fast shipping. Opened the box and noticed this was a great piece. Very well made. Looks awesome on the truck. Very convenient that it folds under and out if the way. . No shin buster here. Very easy to use.
I haven't t towed with it yet. But I'm sure it'll be great.



by:

This is an incredible hitch. Super strong construction. Just what I needed for towing multiple sized trailers.



by:

This is the handiest hitch Iā€™ve ever owned. It is completely out of the way when stowed. No more bruised shins! It also looks great and is nice to have all three balls on one hitch. I did add a noise reduction kit but honestly I donā€™t know if it was needed, I didnā€™t try it without it. I do recommend a locking pin system to keep it on your truck, protect your equipment.



by:

So far so good, easy install out of the box in "hidden mode", no assembly required.



by:

Easy installation and switching ball size is a breezeā€¦ stowing it is easy as well



by:

Great Product, excellent service, free delivery and track ability of your order



by:

This was a Christmas present for my husband. He has been wanting one for some time. He hauls his work trailer and golf cart trailer. This was the perfect gift for him



by:

It's made by B&W in the USA. What else do I need to say? HEADSUP: if you want to secure your hitch you will need 2 locking pins . One to secure the balls and one to secure the hitch in the receiver.

  • Recommended Adjustable Ball Mount for 2021 Jeep Gladiator
    It sounds like you are looking for an adjustable ball mount for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator. The best way to choose an adjustable ball mount is to know the maximum rise/drop you will need between the different trailers you will tow. This can be found by measuring the hitch height and subtracting the coupler height. For example, if you find that the maximum drop or rise you need is 5" then you could use the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10048B....

  • How to Pick Out Correct Ball Mount Rise/Drop for 2017 GMC Canyon Duramax ATX
    I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount rise/drop. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground. Since I do not know what either of those dimensions are on...

  • Would B&W Tow & Stow Ball Mount Be Good Choice for 2016 GMC Canyon
    For the price it's pretty hard to beat the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B. It has all of the ball sizes you are going to ever need and it has height flexibility which means that you can basically tow most trailers level. 5 inches of drop would cover most trailer so this would be a great option. Smaller trailers like waverunner trailers will still have the 1-7/8 inch ball on occasion so it's not a waste by any means.

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring for a 2019 Lexus GX 460 Pulling Several Trailers
    For your 2019 Lexus GX 460, I do recommend a Class III hitch, like the Curt # C13043. This will have a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds and tongue weight of 500 pounds, which will definitely cover you. This will also bolt on very quickly and requires no drilling to get installed. The wiring is a bit more complicated, but the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat # 119250KIT will be my recommendation. Though you will need to run a line to the battery,...

  • How To Choose Between 5" or 7" B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount for Ground Clearance
    In regards to the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10048B for 5" or part # BWTS10049B for 7", the distance from the top of the shank to the bottom of the upright while the hitch balls are stowed away is 8.5" for the 5" drop version and 10.5" for the 7" drop version. If you were towing with the hitch balls in the lowest position that would reduce ground clearance by another .5". This should then help with your decision. I have attached a photo to clarify these on the 5" drop version.

  • Why Cant Curt Rebellion XD Shock Absorbing Adjustable Ball Mount be Used in Rise Position
    The Curt Rebellion XD Shock-Absorbing Adjustable Ball Mount # C45949 can't be used in the traditional rise position due to how the shock mechanism is designed. It needs to push down in the drop position for the cushioning to be effective. You'd need a more traditional style adjustable ball mount to be able to flip it over into the rise position like the B and W Tow and Stow part # BWTS10048B. This fits a 2 inch hitch and comes with all three standard hitch ball sizes as well. Or if you...

  • Is Curt Trailer Hitch 14108 a Fit for a 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD Classic 6-1/2 Bed
    Yes, I confirmed that the Curt 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14108 is a fit for your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD Classic with the 6-1/2' bed. If you need a wiring connector then I recommend the Hopkins # HM40975 which will be an exact replacement to fit in the bumper cutout (if that's what you have). If you don't have the bumper cutout then this can be attached to the trailer hitch using the mounting bracket # 18136. To complete your towing setup you also need a ball mount. For that I recommend...

  • Recommended Ball Mount for a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500
    The length of the ball mount is not really something that you need to make note of for towing in most cases unless you have a recessed hitch but you will need to note the rise/drop. That said, I can only imagine you may need to tow a different trailer at some point in time so the best option we can offer you is an adjustable ball mount with multiple hitch balls. I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10048B because it has a hidden hitch ball design that no other ball mount...

  • Adjustable Height Ball Mount Recommendation for 2000 Toyota Sienna for Towing Pop Up
    For a camper that weighs at 1,700 or less for your 2000 Toyota Sienna you wouldn't necessarily need a brake controller as that weight is less than half of the towing capacity for the Curt hitch part # C13511 that you have installed. There's a bit of variance in how tall the coupler will be on the trailer you end up with, but we do have the Tow and Stow # BWTS10048B which I can guarantee as a solution because it has an adjustable height to accomodate for various height trailers and because...

    It sounds like you are asking if you can use a ball mount with 2 or 3 balls and if this is the case, then yes you can. We have a wide variety of ball mounts that will work for you and the B&W Tow & Stow line is highly recommended. I have a 2 ball version and a 3 ball version listed below. Both of these will have the same 10,000 pound capacity as well as 5" of drop and 5-1/2" of rise. Both will also have a limited lifetime warranty and are American made.

  • Locking Pins for a B&W Tow & Stow
    The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B does not come with a keyed locking pin to secure the shank to the receiver. For that I recommend the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Trailer Hitches # 1480DAT. If you want a locking pin for the ball mount, you would need the longer of the two pins that comes with the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3492. I have added links to video reviews of each product for you.

The span of the # 1480DAT hitch pin lock is not long enough to secure the ball mount to the shank.

Please note that you do want to confirm the towing capacity of the vehicle first in your owner's manual before towing.

If you also need a wiring harness use the Hopkins # 40105 for a 4-way connector or the Draw-Tite # 20023 for a 7-way. You might like an adjustable ball mount.

You will be limited by the 50% hitch capacity or the capacity of the extender itself, whichever is lower. I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches # GY89SR. This measures 14" long which should be enough to clear your tire and is on the high end for extender capacity with a maximum gross...

    That would depend on the height of the trailers you plan to tow, but unless you plan to tow something unusually small and low the 5 inch drop B and W Tow n Stow part # BWTS10048B would be what I think would be the best match for your truck. But if you plan to tow a lower trailer the 7 inch drop part # BWTS10049B would be the better option. I attached a help article on how to pick out the best ball mount for a truck for you to check out as well.
