I consulted further with B and W. Ideally you would want the end of the receiver to go into the indentation in the back of the hitch. Use of a reducer sleeve will cause the MultiPro tailgate to contact the ball mount. If the ball mount cannot slide further in then going with ball mount part # BWTS20067BMP for a 2.5-inch hitch would be the way to go.



by:

Fits perfect on my 2024 GMC1500 AT4. At the lowest setting and showed it fully clears the multi Pro tailgate when lowered. The receiver hitch has about 10” of clearance from the ground, in rocky off road situations I would want to remove it if not towing.



by:

2nd one ive purchased i now have one on both of my trucks first one is going on 5 years and absolutely love the height adjustments and not having to swap out balls like on the old convert-a-ball.

Works great

Love the product work well for my 2021 GMC DENALI 1500. STOW AWAY



by:

Truly the last mount I’ll ever need. It fits perfect on my 2021 Sierra AT4 and even works with the multipro tailgate, which was an important fact for me in selecting a mount. etrailer is the best and from my personal experience ordering from them, they typically deliver FASTER than they estimate and provide excellent and friendly customer service every step of the way. This purchase was no exception.



by:

Excellent customer service with email correspondence as well. They kept in touch every step of the way.

I purchased this hitch for my 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 which has the multiple tailgate. The hitch was in the stow position but still damaged my tailgate when I had the tailgate fully down and used the step feature. it bent the metal and scratched the paint. So please be aware this hitch is not recommended for the 2024 GMC sierra 3500 with multiple tailgate.



by:

I love this hitch. With a locking pin, it stays on my truck all the time. Here’s why:

Height adjustment. This truck was tall when I bought it, so I needed the drop for my trailers to ride level.

3 balls. We have 3 trailers of different sizes and weights, so all 3 balls get used.

And a step! Even when not towing, I use this step to access the bed all the time.

Fits my 3” receiver without an adapter.

Spend the money and you will have no regrets down the road.



by:

Was shipped on time.B&W hitch was fine just missing one pin clip.Box had several holes where pin clip could have fallen out. Looks like it had a rough trip.

I purchased the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 3" Drop, 3-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black and am extremely happy with it. It was $100 cheaper than anywhere else I shopped. Was delivered quickly and was an easy install. I used it to haul a trailer full of wood that I cut up and it got the job done! It is very heavy duty and takes the place of multiple single hitches. It’s nice to have all the options in one.



by:

Bought to pull my boat with my Yukon and needed a drop hitch to level out the trailer. I wanted to buy a quality hitch, and let me tell you the B&W does not disappoint. Well engineered. It’s it heavy but when installed it is pretty easy to adjust height and ball size. Also supporting an American company is a plus!



by:

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:

I wish I would have bought one of these years ago. It would have saved me from buying 4 different height hitch receivers. I have a boat trailer that requires me to mount this hitch upside down to get about 2.5in of rise. On the flip side is my utility trailer that requires a 2 inch drop. The kicker is that when I load the truck down with gear and people or load the utility trailer up really heavy, this hitch allows me to kick the ball up or down a notch to keep the trailer level. Also if you ever rent heavy equipment most of the trailers they use will have 2 5/16 ball, so I just flip the ball and I'm in business. Build quality and finish is excellent. I don't keep the mount on all year long but with some judicious use of grease this thing hasn't shown any rust over the past year of use. I am currently using this on a stock GMC Sierra 1500 and I really could have gone with one size down on the hitch drop/rise, but I figured if I ever bought a 3/4 ton truck or a friend with one ever needed to borrow the hitch it would have enough drop to work with that application as well. As it stands the 5in drop isn't too long to cause clearance issues with a half ton GM truck.

For those of you who are wondering about thieves making off with the ball mount - the design of the tow and stow is such that with all the pins removed and the hitch installed on the vehicle, it is not possible to rotate the ball mount off the receiver. Especially if you mount the receiver using the inner most mounting hole. All that is needed is a locking hitch pin and the whole setup is secure.

I've attached a picture of the hitch installed on a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 for reference.



by:

It is exactly what I expected, fast delivery, extremely fine product. I also have a turnover ball from you that is also a B&W product. Thank You, Bob

  • Will The Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount for MultiPro BW49FR Hit The MultiPro Tailgate In Its Lowest Setting
    I reached out to B&W and they informed me that the Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount for MultiPro # BW49FR must be in the stowed/flipped position to clear the MultiPro tail gate on your 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited.

    The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - Compatible with GM MultiPro Tailgate - 2.5" Hitch part # BWTS20067BMP is only offered with a 7" drop which should give you a wide range of trailer options without reducing ground clearance too much. The only option for a 5" drop is the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - Compatible with GM MultiPro Tailgate - 2" Hitch part # BW49FR which would require the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve part # BWRHXA2182.

  • Is There a Hitch Step for the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro
    In regards to the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro part # BW49FR, there isn't any sort of step attachment. That said, if I were you and I needed some help getting in the bed I would simply rotate the hitch balls so that the side without a ball attached is facing up. This, combined with the ball platform section would provide a nice spot for your foot to rest. It's also height adjustable using the built-in rise/drop feature of the ball mount. If you're after a ball mount with an...

  • Recommended Drop Hitch For a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 Hauling a Boat Trailer
    The Curt Rebellion XD Shock Absorbing Adjustable Ball Mount # C83WR is a great option as it will provide cushioning between your boat trailer and your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4. It is adjustable with up to 6" of drop to level your trailer. I do recommend using the InfiniteRule Lock Set for Curt Rebellion XD Ball Mount # IR47FR to secure the hitch assembly to your Sierra.

  • Comparing Hitch Ball Heights For 2" B&W Tow & Stow 3- Ball Mount For MultiPro/MultiFlex GM Tailgates
    The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount 2-1/2" Drop # BW64FR and 4-1/2" Drop # BW49FR both adjust in 1" height increments. Both of these will have at least 1-1/2" of drop in the highest position when positioned in the drop position. So the 2-1/2" drop hitch can only be placed with 1-1/2" or 2-1/2" of drop. The 4-1/2" drop hitch can be placed with 1-1/2", 2-1/2", 3-1/2" or 4-1/2" of drop. For a stock height GMC Sierra 1500 Denali I recommend sticking with the 2-1/2" drop hitch. The 4-1/2" drop is...

  • Can You Get Just Retractable Ball Portion of B&W Tow & Stow For GMC
    Hi Troy, I believe when you say you have one of our hitches, you are referring to the B&W Tow & Stow? If so, the retractable portion is not something available separately, you would have to get a new ball mount. There is an option that is designed specifically to work with the GMC tailgates though, which are the following: - B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro - 2" Hitch - 4.5" Drop/5.5" Rise # BW49FR - B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - MultiPro - 2" Hitch - 4.5" Drop/5.5" Rise # BW29FR

  • B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount Fit for 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 with GM MultiPro Tailgate
    The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B is for standard tailgate systems. Since your 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 has the MultiPro Tailgate you'll want to use the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - MultiPro # BW49FR instead. This has the same specs aside from having a 4-1/2" rise as opposed to the 5" rise of the part you were looking at. The head piece is different though which is why it can fit with the newer tailgate design. I also recommend securing your investment with a hitch lock. You can...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation for a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited
    Thanks for reaching out! I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e79AR for your 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited because it has the durable matte black finish that not only looks better, but is also better protection against the elements and road debris than your standard glossy black finish we see on the other hitches. You should already have a wiring socket like the Hopkins # HM40975 installed into the bumper of your truck so to round out your towing setup I recommend checking...

    For a solid adjustable ball mount with the least amount of play I definitely recommend the Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount for MultiPro - 2" Hitch - 4-1/2" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K # BW49FR. The B&W is a solid, sturdy ball mount with a durable steel construction and stainless steel pins to keep it secure. The other great part about this ball mount is the stowable design which lets you store the ball under the vehicle. This gets it out of the way while providing a nice clean look. It comes with...
