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.
Easily Adjusts and Stows
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.
Built-In Anti-Theft System
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.

I received my B&W hitch today and immediately put it to the test. The hitch is extremely well made and is exactly what I expected from a product made in the USA. Great job!!!!
by: Chris 03/06/2024
It's great having the hitch always attached to the truck. It's just there when you want it, stowed and out of the way when you don't.
I wish they had a one-ball version as I haven't needed both, yet.
by: Gerald 04/30/2024
Works great for getting all of my trailers level for transport.
by: Jeff Skeele11/01/2023
Mike B was excellent! I had ordered the wrong size hitch, thinking my new truck was a 3",in fact I needed a 2.5". Mike worked me thru ordering the correct hitch and sent me all the information and return label for the wrong size hitch. Very smooth process and the follow up was fantastic. What a great customer service experience. I will be recommending friends and employees.
by: Brad 10/27/2023
Shipping was amazingly fast and the hitch is exactly as described, very well built strong and great looking. Etrailer always ships fast with great prices and awesome customer service. If you tow with your truck you will like this hitch.
by: Brian 07/13/2023
I have used the B&W Stow and Go for a year now and have to say this is the best hitch I have ever used. When it is stowed, you barely know it's there and you can't accidentally run into it. I have the 2" and 2 5/16" balls on the hitch and have used them both. I have a 2 5/16" Bulldog coupler on my travel trailer and this mates with it perfectly but when I rent equipment from the local rental shop, their trailer has a 2" ball, makes life easy.
Also, I upgraded the hitch to the 2 1/2" shank to fit my Ford SuperDuty, no wobble, no noise, overall GREAT hitch!
by: Kelly 02/27/2024
Best hitch ever. works perfect.
by: R09/14/2023
Haven’t used it yet but seems to be top quality. Glad to support a made in the USA product. Received in record time. Thank you. My only complaint is that you would think for the money this ball mount costs it would come with a pin to lock into the hitch. Had to run out and buy one. Looking forward to using it.
by: X. Vang06/22/2017
I did not expect the product to be this great. The material are good to go. I really like the fact that the tow hitch set has some pretty serious weight to it. Knowing that gives me a peace of mind when I tow. This product was build to last. You will get what you paid for and every dime was worth it! Highly recommend.

One year has passed and the tow hitch stands strong. The quality of this hitch is still worth every penny out fourth. Thank You for such a great product. Highly recommend.

Great heavy duty hitch, hopefully the last one I will ever buy and will definitely never lend out, so well worth the money!

Best hitch ever!! I bought when I was 42 and Im convinced this will be the last hitch I ever own!
by: Tom 05/20/2023
Not Multiflex friendly. If you have a multiflex tailgate B&W makes a specific stow away hitch that won’t hit the tailgate. Otherwise the stow away is the best adjustable hitch I have ever seen or used in 20+ years of towing trailers.
by: Dave P.08/03/2016
This B & W hitch along with etrailer should be setting the standard for the rest of the manufacturing and e-commerce societies. The quality, craftsmanship and engineering behind this hitch are second to none. The product is not made cheaply therefore it is not priced cheap. You truly get what you pay for and this is no exception. As seen in the attached photo of the new hitch tucked nicely under my 2015 GMC 2500HD I changed the included pins to lynch pins.
by: Frank05/01/2022
Awesome product & service. We have B & W adjustable hitches installed on all of our trucks. As we tow various trailers with various trucks these hitches are the ticket, best ever made & excellent quality.
Awesome job on etrailers service, wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you

Nicely built should last for ever. I will never have to be concerned about hitch when towing.

view full answer... - Which B and W Adjustable Ball Mount for 2021 Ford F-250 Super DutyThe amount of drop you'd need from an adjustable B and W Tow and Stow ball mount for your 2021 Ford F-250 really depends on the the trailer you'd be towing but most likely if the trailer is larger you'd get by with the 5 inch drop version part # BWTS20037B but let's say it's a smaller camper with smaller wheels and tires you'd probably need the 7-1/2 inch drop part # BWTS20040B. I attached a help article on how to determine the correct amount of rise/drop you'd need to tow your trailer level.
view full answer... - Can the B&W BWTS20037B Be Stowed on a 2018 Chevy 3500HD?As the ball on the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS20037B can be turned parallel to the ground, you should not have an issue using the 5 inch drop. That being said, if you do need more drop, the 7 inch drop # BWTS20040B will be the better option.
view full answer... - How to Determine Drop of Adjustable Ball Mount NeededTo determine the amount of rise/drop you'll need, take a measurement from the inside top edge of the hitch receiver tube to the ground. Then, measure from the bottom of the trailer coupler to the ground. The difference between the two numbers will be the rise of drop you need. If the hitch sits taller than the trailer coupler, you'll need a drop. If the coupler sits taller, you'll need a ball mount with a rise. I'll link to a help article that shows exactly how to do this. Here's a couple...
view full answer... - How Tall Is The B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20040B To Maintain The Recommended 11" Clearance? I reached out to B&W to verify the height of the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20040B. They informed me from the top of the hitch to the lowest point will be 11.1" This would only give you approximately 10.4" of clearance. You will want to step down to the 5" Drop # BWTS20037B to maintain the 11" of clearance required when used in the lowest position unless you plan on lifting your 2022 Ford F-250.
view full answer... - Recommended Tow and Stow Dual-Ball Mount with 2.5 Inch ShankWe do carry the ball mount you are seeking. It is the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20037B. This is a fit for 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver openings and I recommend you protect this investment using a hitch lock like # e98881. We also have the ball mount in chrome # BWTS20037C. I've attached some videos of these products to assist.
view full answer... - How To Choose Between 5" and 7" Drop B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount for 2.5" HitchesI would love to help but I can't really tell you if you need the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount with 5" Drop part # BWTS20037B (part # BWTS20037C) or 7" Drop part # BWTS20040B (part # BWTS20040C) as it varies by application so you will need to measure for yourself. The measurement you're looking for is the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver on the truck minus the distance from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer while level. You'll then want...

This is the case for most ball mounts as well but if you let me know exactly which one you have then I can confirm this for you. Please note, you will want the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler to be equal or close to the distance from the ground to the top inside...
view full answer... - Best Adjustable Ball Mount for a Ram 2500 w/ a 2-1/2" Receiver Hitch Sounds like you are looking for a ball mount. It looks like the 2020 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4WD diesel comes with a 2-1/2" receiver from the factory. I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount item # BWTS20040B or item # BWTS20049B if you just want the 3-ball. This adjustable ball mount has a 18,000 lbs towing capacity with the 2-5/16" ball or a 7,500 lbs with the 2" ball. It has a maximum rise or drop of 7-1/2".

view full answer... - Can I Replace the Ball Mount of a 3 Inch B&W Tow and Stow for a 2-1/2 Inch Ball Mount?No, you can't. I contacted B&W this morning and was told they do not sell the components of their tow and stow ball mounts separately. While you are most likely correct and they are probably interchangeable, B&W wants you to buy a new one. It sounds like you have either item # BWTS30037B or item # BWTS30040B. The comparable 2-1/2" Tow and Stow two ball ball mounts are listed below: B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise item # BWTS20040B B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount...
view full answer... - Recommended Locking Pins for B&W Tow and Stow Ball Mount You make a great point and there is a set of locking pins that will secure every part of the B&W Tow & Stow item # BWTS20037B. It is the InfiniteRule Locking Pins for B & W Tow and Stow item # 34061775-D. These pins will secure your ball mount with the same key and not reduce its capacity. I have linked a review video below.

This is designed to fit into a 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver which is what your F-350 should be equipped with. If you are wondering if just using a standard ball mount like this is sufficient instead of going with a weight distribution system and adjustable shank, it will...

- What Locks are Needed to Deter Theft of the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20037BThe only locking part that you will need to secure the whole B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20037B is a locking hitch pin like part # e98881. The ball mount is designed so that you can only remove it by removing the shank of the hitch ball out of your hitch receiver first. After that you can flip the ball mount to the underside of the shank and remove it. If you have a locking hitch pin it will help deter theft of your ball mount. Please keep in mind that all locks can be mastered...
view full answer... - Adjustable Ball Mount for 2-1/2 Inch Hitches made in the USACurt trailer hitches are manufactured in the USA but not the supplemental parts like ball mount # C45902. For one that is made in the USA and is similar I recommend # BWTS20037B. But it maxes out at 18K with the 2-5/16 inch ball. The Curt model # C45902 is the only option we have in an adjustable ball mount for 2-1/2 inch hitches that can reach 20K. For a few dollars more you can get the tri-ball model # BWTS20048B. I have linked a video of it for you.

This double ball mount has a 7,500 lbs capacity with the 2" ball or a 18,000 lbs capacity with the 2-5/16" ball. I recommend using the InfiniteRule Locking Pins for B & W Tow and Stow item # 34061775-D. These pins will secure your ball mount with the same key and not reduce its capacity.

The Tow & Stow also comes with the same 2-inch and 2-5/15 inch balls as the Gen-Y. It also provides you with a 5-inch rise and enough weight capacity for your 13.5k trailer (when using the 2-15/16 inch ball). It is important to note that...
