Easily stow the ball and mounting platform on this heavy-duty, dual-ball ball mount beneath your hitch for a sleek look when you are done towing. Tow up to 7,500 lbs with the 2" ball or 10,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball.
Features:
Specs:
Note: To avoid the Tow & Stow hitting steep driveways or curbs, we recommend at least 11" of clearance between the ground and the lowest point of the drop hitch, as seen above.
The B&W Tow & Stow adjustable ball mount lets you tow a variety of trailers with different tongue heights. Having both a 2" ball and a 2-5/16" ball allows for even more versatility, making this the ultimate go-to ball mount if you own multiple trailers.
To switch the hitch ball, simply remove the pin holding the balls in place and rotate the entire block that the balls are mounted on until the ball you want to use is on top. Then replace the pin to secure the block in place.
Adjusting the height of the ball is just as easy. Remove the pins holding the ball mount platform in place and slide the platform up or down along the shank to the desired position. Once you have found the correct height, reinsert the pins and replace the clips.
When you're not towing, you can flip the ball mount platform around and stow it beneath your hitch so that you won't bang your shins. Just remove the pins to slide the ball platform down along the channel and up the back side so that the hitch balls face towards your vehicle. Then replace the pins.
The Tow & Stow ball mount features a channel that runs along both sides of the shank. This channel not only allows you to slide the ball mount platform up and down to adjust the ball height, but it also prevents removal of the platform when the ball mount is installed, which will help prevent theft of your trailer.
A slot is cut into the adjustment channel near the top of the shank. To remove the ball mount platform from the shank you will need to remove the entire ball mount from your hitch. Then remove the pins that hold the platform in place. Flip the platform around to the stowed position on the rear of the shank, and then slide it up until the center pin lines up with the slot in the shank. Pull the platform out towards the rear of the shank until the pin pops out of the adjustment channel.
When the Tow & Stow is secured in your hitch receiver, you will not be able to remove the ball mount platform. This is because the slot in the shank is positioned in such a way that the collar on your hitch will block the pin on the platform from being able to leave the channel. Even if the pins holding the ball mount platform in place are removed, the platform will still be confined to this channel. So, as long as a hitch lock is used to secure the entire ball mount in your hitch receiver, and a coupler lock is used to prevent your trailer's coupler from being disengaged from the ball, your trailer will be secure.

Easily stow the ball and mounting platform on this heavy-duty, dual-ball ball mount beneath your hitch for a sleek look when you are done towing. Tow up to 7,500 lbs with the 2" ball or 10,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball.The 3” drop is perfect for a stock 4x4 Silverado 1500. I can tow my small trailer as well as my full size tandem axle trailer without changing hitches/balls. Just what I wanted.
Love being able to have access to both 2" & 2-5/16" balls without having to haul around 2 hitche's and then the height may not be right.
When I'm not using I can leave it or stow it with very little effort.
Maybe add locking pins or somehow to lo ck
This is my second B&W hitch, I love them for their abilty to stow out of the way and they hold up great in our coastal enviroment.
Fantastic price on an item I shopped around for. On top of being priced well, the customer support was very good. My order was upgraded to faster shipping for free and the communication was great.
I would buy again and would recommend to friends.
It works. Really nice because over the last year I’ve changed the ride height of the truck and bought another trailer, so this was able to adjust and change with that.
I was hesitant to spend this much on the hitch but so glad I did. It's worth every penny!
etrailer went above and beyond. I had originally ordered a different item by mistake. I called in . They picked up right away. They cancelled the old order and placed a new order refunded my account within minutes and shipped the new order the same day. I received the new hitch with in two days. Excellent service. The also made sure everything was going to fit and it did, perfectly! Will definitely be ordering from etrailer next time.
Really happy with the adjustability on this sturdy hitch. I love how it tucks away. I bought some extra pins to throw in the glove box just in case. I paired this with a Bolt hitch lock.
Awesome heavy duty made in the USA hitch. Arrived in perfect condition and arrived in two days with free shipping.
Good price fast shipping
Super happy with it. BW is great quality
have several of these fine hitches. always a great addition to your towing package
My second B&W stowaway that I have bought, have them on both of my business trucks, absolutely love them, I think they are the best money can buy, MADE IN USA! No more changing hitches, fully adjustable for different trailer heights, great product!

My hitch is working the as the day I got it perfect!, Best that money can buy!
Best hitch available in my opinion I've towed with nearly all of them. This is the third B&W Stow & Go hitch I have owned. No slack or play transferring between truck & towed trailer. Rarely need to remove hitch from receiver in truck. Can flip it under bumper when I go thru auto wash between towing trailers (automatic wash rollers don't play well with ball hitches past bumpers). I Have learned that I must occasionally clean & lube the stainless steel pins or they will start to seize into carbon steel holes. That's the only improvement I might suggest (possibly Stainless sleeves in carbon holes). Other than that well built strong hitch.
Good price and quick shipping!
The B&W stow has been great. In fact a few friends and my son in law have made the purchase as well. Great product.
A perfect hitch!! I have two trailers with 2 different size hitch balls. This is the perfect hitch. And the hideaway feature is great. No more busted shins!!
I just received this but can tell very well built!
A great hitch. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for some height adjustment as well as the piece of mind that it is one piece (ie, the hitch does not fall apart when you pull the pins). High quality build. Its been in and out of water (towing a boat) and no rust. Great job B&W.
Excellent hitch and very well made! Fast shipping too!

After a year this has been the best hitch I have ever owned, well worth every penny!!!!
Wish it didnt have so play in it, it allows the trailer hitch to bounce more than standard drawbar does

We recommend using an anti-rattle setup like the part # 63232 which tightens the ball mount shank to the hitch tube and really takes out the movement. It also doubles as a hitch lock as well.
So far so good! Fit and finish are top notch and it works perfect for my purposes.
Purchased for 2011 Toyota Tundra crew max 4x4 all stock wheels and suspension. It’s the best match for my truck. I went with the 5” drop model initially, but after installing it I realized my error in never needing that big of a drop. When matched to my trailers I would never be lower than 2” and having that extra 3+” of shank length really creates the potential to snag it on a sloped drive or curb. Per BW guide, they suggest 11” clearance and I was at 9” and that was without any load on it. So just a word of advice to fellow Tundra owners, unless yours is lifted considerably.
So the 3” drop version, as well as the 5”, is manufactured beautifully. It looks great and it is a substantial piece of metal. Functional it is genius!
The pins for the ball mount have spring clip pins and that would be my only area I will likely change out to a locking system. Simply to avoid losing one of those clips.
I spoke with Sherry at e-trailer for my return and she was extremely helpful. As well, I talked with BW directly and they were equally as wonderful to speak to. I could not be happier with my purchase or the vendor or the manufacturer.
This is a versatile hitch. It could fit the receiver better…seems to be quite a bit of “slop”. I also wish it as a bit longer between the pin hole and the head. I run a Rock Tamer rock deflector and can’t install a clamp to tighten up the hitch to the receiver. I have installed the available B&W rubber gasket. It makes the hitch move less but due to its thickness, makes for difficult install and removal.

Bulletproof hitch. Still looks like new after multiple uses. Stow feature is an outstanding feature. Highly recommend. Would definitely buy again.
