An illustration shows the eleven inch clearance level needed between the ground and B and W Tow and Stow hitch.

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.


Easily Adjusts and Stows

B&W Tow & Stow Ball Mount Operation

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.


Single Dimensions

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.

Buying process was easy and secure. Shipping was SUPER quick. Packaging was perfect. Love everything about this hitch. Well worth the money!!!!!

Love it. I’m a landscaper and wouldn’t want to operate without one. It’s super convenient when swapping my trailers out and the pins and swivel is heavy duty. Worth every penny.



by:

7" drop keeps my smaller trailers riding level on my 2022 Silverado 3500 (stock suspension). Very easy to change settings for different trailers & loads. Well built.

This is a great product and very well b uilt



by:

Awesome product and manufacturing quality control. Perfect for my needs.



by:

The service and delivery time was top notch and excellent.......only a couple of days to delivery. This hitch is something else.........total quality and extremely well made. It is for my 2019 Ford F250 Superduty. I looked at both the standard black hitch and this chrome hitch. For the small price difference it was a great buy. The chrome is top notch and all the important metal surfaces are polished extremely well. With the ball tucked away under the hitch, it looks and works great.

Thanks etrailer for your service

Only issue is the bar (vertical) could be put in higher position when not being used, if hit low spot it could hit or drag

See what our Experts say about this B and W Trailer Hitch Ball Mount

  • Will Brophy Ball Mount Tongue Fit B&W Tow & Stow for Clevis Attachment
    The 10K Ball Mount Tongue for Brophy Adjustable Drop Hitch # RTB1 won't fit on a B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount like part # BWTS20040C because the brackets where it mounts are too narrow. The Tow & Stow opens up wider than the shank where the Brophy part has an opening the same size as the shank (which is for a 2"). The Clevis Adapter for B&W Tow & Stow 2-1/2" Ball Mounts # BWTS35200B will do just fine for most towing as the hole is only 1-1/8" in diameter. If you plan on traveling at higher...

  • What Size B and W Tow and Stow Ball Mount Can Fit TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension
    The hitch opening at the end of the TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension # TLE1636 is a 2-1/2 inch hitch with an optional sleeve reducer that brings it down to 2 inch. Basically all hitch extenders like this take and reduce the hitch size down to the next smallest size so while there isn't a solution that's exactly what you are looking for you could go with a 2.5 inch hitch Tow and Stow like part # BWTS20040C and you'd be set.

  • Tongue Weight Ratings of the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20040C
    The tongue weight ratings of the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20040C are 10% of the towing weights. So for the 2" ball with the 7,500 lb towing weight it is 750 lbs and with the 2-5/16" ball with the 18,000 lb towing weight it is 1,800 lbs. I do recommend using the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # C23025 with this to discourage someone from running off with it. The ball mount part is actually in a channel so when the shank is locked in your hitch receiver the ball mount part can't be removed.

  • Locking Pins for B&W Tow & Stow 18K 2-Ball Mount
    It is true that the InfiniteRule Locking Pins for B & W Tow and Stow Ball Mounts # 34061775-D are only listed for the 10K and 14.5K. However, we have confirmed that these will also work for the 18K models like the # BWTS20040C so this is the correct locking pin set for your ball mount.

    Yes, you can use Clevis Adapter # BWTS35200B with your B&W Adjustable 2-1/2-Inch ball mount # BWTS20040B. The clevis has a 1-1/8-inch hole diameter. This adapter also work with the chrome-finish version of your ball mount, part # BWTS20040C.

  • American-Made Adjustable Ball Mount for 2-1/2-Inch Hitch
    B&W offers both black powder-coat and chrome-finish adjustable Class IV ball mounts that are made in the USA. Both are intended for a 2-1/2-inch hitch receiver and include two hitch balls, a 2-inch rated for 7500-lbs and a 2-5/16-inch rated for 18,000-lbs. For the black order part # BWTS20040B or for the chrome-finish order part # BWTS20040C. You can use lock # C23025 with either ball mount to secure it to your hitch. These B&W ball mounts are fabricated and assembled in B&W's Kansas...

  • Weight Capacity of B&W Adjustable 2-1/2-Inch Ball Mounts BWTS20040B & BWTS20040C
    With a multi-ball adjustable ball mount like the B&W # BWTS20040B and the similar chrome-finish model # BWTS20040C, both intended for 2-1/2-inch hitches, the weight rating depends on which of the hitch balls is in use. As you might expect, the larger ball will have a higher weight rating. The 2-inch hitch ball is rated for 7500-lbs towing and the 2-5/16-inch ball is rated for 18,000-lbs. Either ball mount can be used along with a locking pin # C23025.

  • How To Choose Between 5" and 7" Drop B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount for 2.5" Hitches
    I 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...
