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.

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.

Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at the B and W tow and stow two ball mount. This is designed for a 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver. The ball mount with the built in hitch balls lets you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. So the shank portion slides into the receiver tube of your hitch and then the hitch balls provide the connection point for your trailer's coupler. One of the neatest features about this unit is the stowable design. It actually lets you store the ball and mounting platform underneath the receiver tube of your hitch on the reverse of the adjustable shank.
So it's a really neat design and to move it to the stowed position, I always like to pull the pin and clip here for the ball and rotate it to this position. Then you need to pull the clips out from this side. Pull the pins as well. Then that whole platform reverses. It can be stowed on this side of the ball mount.So at the back of vehicle when you're not towing, you can move it to this position and it creates a really nice flush look at the back of the vehicle and moved the balls and the platform out of the way.
So if you're walking around the back of the vehicle, you don't have to worry about running into that and getting hurt. The unit is fully adjustable so you can slide this up and down the adjustment portion of the mount. So the adjustable design allows you to tow trailers of different heights using the same vehicle and using the same mount. Really helps ensure that the ball height matches the trailer coupler height for a nice level towing setup. Once you find the height you need for your application, just line up the holes and secure it in place by reinstalling the pins and clips.
Then again, it does come with two differently sized hitch balls. It comes with a 2" and a 2 5/16 and you just pull the pin and clip and then you can rotate to whatever one that you need to use for your application.Always be sure to reinsert the pins and clip. Really nice design. It's made from a durable steel construction with high yield tubing for superior strength, dual processed chrome plating provides excellent rust and corrosion resistance. It uses stainless steel pins to create sturdy, rust-proof connections.
Now you will need a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock to secure the unit inside the receiver tube of your hitch. Those items are sold separately and available at etrailer.com. The pin hole on this unit will accept a standard 5/8" diameter pin. When it comes to the gross towing weight, for the 2" ball, it's 7500 pounds. For the 2 5/16" ball, it's 10,000 pounds. Then the maximum tongue weight for the unit is 1000 pounds. It can be used in either the drop or rise positions. So if you have this at the lowest setting in the drop position, you're gonna have a maximum drop of around 7". If you flip it over to the rise position and have it at the highest setting, it's gonna give you a maximum rise of around 7 1/2".Then the adjustment holes are separated on center by 1", so that's your incremental height adjustment. Also on the shank, it has two pin hole locations, so you can just choose whatever one works best for your application. I did take a measurement from the center of each pinhole to the center of the hitch balls. From this one, it measured 9 1/4" and from this one, it measured 10 3/8". The product is made in the USA and it's covered with a limited lifetime warranty. That's gonna do it for today's look at the B and W tow and stow two ball mount for 2" hitches.

Delivered fast and was just what I need ed.
This is by far the best hitch if have ever had. Sturdy design with no give or wiggle when accelerating and breaking when pulling a heavy load. Easily tucks under when not in use. Great overall design. etrailer is a fantastic company and has outstanding customer service. I will for sure be a repeat customer.
Love this hitch. It’s super easy to switch and since I have trailers with different size balls this is super handy as I don’t have to carry around extra hitches. Plus the chrome looks great on my truck, a nice added shine
Best hitch out!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
Super beefy and very well made. Packed well too. Some careful thought and enginnering went into this piece and you can tell. Im old enough to remember being able to buy high quality, locally made stuff for a reasonable price. Seems like those days are mostly gone. It was fun to inbox this hitch and appreciative the solid craftsmanship. Doesn’t happen too much anymore.
Best hitch I've ever bought. This thing is amazing. It works for every trailer I've ever towed and looks great on the back of the truck unlike other manufacturers hitches. It has not rusted but I do wash the truck including this hitch every week. I live in the Salt band so that says alot. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a solid 1 time buy set up.
Went with the B&W due to the length of the shaft going into the receiver. My 2024 Ram's receiver is recessed under the bumper. This hitch is long enough to accept my Towtector product. Similar to Rock Tamers. Also, Brittany in customer service was awesome to work with as she guided me towards the product that worked for my application.
I looked at so many options before deciding on the B&W hitch, but I have no regrets buying it. There is nothing that my car is suitable for towing that this thing can’t accommodate. I even use it on the front hitch of my mower to move trailers around the yard! Adjusts very easily and stows nicely (though on my Ford Edge it rides lower than I like when stowed).
Great hitch. I bought the 3 ball with 8" drop hitch. My utility trailer needs it almost all the way down. My boat trailer needs it almost all the way up on my Chevy 2500HD. The only time I have removed it was to install a Pintle hitch one day to haul a trailer for a tractor. Tip: Use silicone spray on the adjustable pins. Use of lithium grease fouls them up so it's difficult to remove and reinstall them (collects dirt, dust). Also lubricate your hitch lock monthly, or you won't be able to open it if you ever want to remove the hitch.
