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
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've been towing with this for a year and I love it. The convenience of being able to stow it away without taking it off is fantastic. The finish is holding up pretty well so far.

Best accessory you could purchase , love it , easy to use and still looks great today , thank you for a great product
by: Gary 09/15/2023
This is a serious hitch!! Well designed and built. Easy to install and change out. You only need a locking hitch pin on the receiver as the ball and carrier are machined into the hitch. Super fast delivery from etrailer. Great company and I buy from them for all my trailer and truck needs.
by: Jeff07/29/2022
What a great ball mount! This solidly built mount makes it so easy to switch between ball sizes, it conveniently saves time. When you’re not towing it tucks neatly out of the way.

After a year of using this hitch, I am completely satisfied! It is rugged, heavy duty, and is as easy as ever to use. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs more than one ball size.
by: David B06/27/2023
Love the fact that i can pull everything i need and adjust height to pull the correct height on the different trailers i have with 1 hitch. THANK YOU B&W for making a all in one item and building it the best from any competion.

One of the best drop shanks around
by: Stuart12/07/2022
I pull different trailers during the weeks and I am constantly changing heights and balls size. This hitch has been perfect. It is everything I expect a hitch to be. We bought one for each of our trucks. We replaced the pin clips with ones clips that have the rubber pull tab. They should come standard with this hitch. We are very pleased with the quality of this product.
by: gpsjake10/19/2022
What a beast of a hitch. Fun fact: I put this one my truck when I first received it to see how it looked. It’s a heavy, solid steel monster easily weighing 40+ lbs. i drove to the local hardware store in the Seattle area and it was stolen while I was in the store. I didn’t put a locking pin in yet because I didn’t expect to go to the store. Long story short, the thief posted it for sale online and I met up with him to…steal it back. So I have the hitch, locked to my truck, with thousands of miles on it now.
by: David07/12/2019
I bought this B&W hitch to be a exact fit for my truck. This is the second B&W that I have purchased. Both have been well built. Best adjustable hitches that I have ever owned. Very Happy With them
etrailer had the best price of anyone locally. Ordered Saturday, I received an Email Sunday that my order was Processed, and that it was ready for shipping. It arrived four days later. Thank You Will order from you again.

by: Jim03/19/2020
Ordered the incorrect shank diameter and drop length. Service representative was knowledgeable of the item I needed, placed the order for the new one, explained the return procedure to include emailing the return authorization, all done in a friendly, professional attitude. Received the correct receiver hitch within one day. Representative made a mistake on my part as painless as possible.

I love the hitch but the pins you use to raise and lower the hitch started rusting. I don't leave this hitch on my truck. It's actually rarely used and is kept in my garage.
by: Michael06/15/2022
Shipped promptly, packaged well, stout and heavy duty. Looking forward to many, many miles of towing
by: Rocky M06/26/2023
Arrived within days of ordering in excellent condition. Can already tell I'll have no issues and it will perform as advertised!
by: Adam02/17/2021
The only thing that was better than this B&D Tow and Stow Hitch from etrailer was the Customer Service that they provided. They checked on my purchase one year after I bought it to make sure we were still satisfied. Good Team. Keep it up guys.
by: Steve05/21/2022
I just received the Stow and Tow 3" two ball hitch yesterday so I haven't even had a chance to use it yet. Actually, I don't even have a trailer that I'll be using it with but wanted to be prepared should I have the need.
The five star rating reflects the customer service I received from etrailer. The pricing, the ordering process and the prompt shipping and tracking were absolutely first class. I've bought many things from them and each time I've been extremely pleased!
As for the Stow and Tow, my initial opinion is that it is as advertised and depicted in all of the etrailer photos and videos. Can't wait for the opportunity to put in action!
by: Clay 07/17/2021
When I was shopping for a multi size ball mount I only looked seriously at B&W. They make a high quality product that does exactly what it is supposed to do. I have a 5th wheel B&W hitch and am absolutely sold on the brand. Made in America.
by: William 05/24/2023
The entire process through entailed was simple fast and easy! The product arrived faster than expected and as described. It feels study and solid. I will use it this weekend for the first time. Thank you!
by: Terrence 10/27/2022
I've used B&W in the past. I love the ability to hide the hitch when not in use.

- Adjustable Ball Mount for 3 inch Hitch on GMC Sierra 3500For a 3 inch hitch that is 19-1/2 inches from the top of it down to the ground you'd want a ball mount with about 6-7 inches of drop like the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 3" Hitch -7-1/2" Drop, 7" Rise # BWTS30040B.

view full answer... - Can the Weigh Safe 3 180 2-Ball Mounts Be StowedI do have an option for you but the Weigh Safe 3" 180 2-Ball Mounts are not stowable, only the 2" and 2.5" models are. If you want stowable then you'll have to go with the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount part # BWTS30040B. The other main difference is that the Weigh Safe is made of aluminum and the B&W is made of steel which is stronger.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for 2017 Ford F-250 with 3 Inch Hitch ReceiverIn order to determine how much drop you need, you will measure from the top inside edge of your trailer hitch receiver on your 2017 Ford F-250 to the ground. Then you will measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer coupler when it is level. The difference between these measurements is the drop you need. I've attached an article to assist and have linked 3 inch ball mount options. I personally recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 3" Hitch -7-1/2" Drop, 7" Rise - 21K...

Part # BWTS30037B also includes a 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch ball and is adjustable up to a 4-1/2 drop or a 4 inch rise. I've linked to product description videos for both Tow & Stow ball mounts.

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...

The Tow & Stow will fit your 3" hitch and will give you a maximum drop of 7-1/2" and maximum rise of 7".

The hitch is also made in the USA and has a 2-1/2 inch hitch opening which is very common for heavy duty ball mounts like what you'd need.

- What Hitch Pin Diameter Does B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS30040B Use3 inch hitches like what the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS30040B was designed for use the same hitch pin diameter as the smaller 2 inch and 2.5 inch hitch size which is 5/8 inch diameter. For a locking hitch pin to use with this we have the Weigh Safe part # WS05 which would work great. I attached review videos for the hitch lock and the ball mount for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Availability of Keyed Alike Lock Set for B and W Tow and Stow Ball MountsFor the B and W Tow and Stow Ball Mounts like the part # BWTS30040B that you referenced we do have lock sets that lock the platform and the hitch pin and use all the same key with the part # 34061775-D. This fits the Tow and Stow models that fit 2 inch and 2-1/2 inch hitches.

The shank by itself is only 8 pounds. You are right that the aluminum shank allows it to weigh less than all steel options such as the B&W Tow and Stow # BWTS30040B that weighs closer to 40 pounds. I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well.

I checked directly with B&W to verify this for you. The 21k capacity is for the included 2-5/16" hitch ball, and if you were okay with that, you can choose from the following, depending on the maximum rise or drop you need: - Max 4-1/2" Drop, 4" Rise: B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 3" Hitch # BWTS30037B - Max 7-1/2" Drop, 7" Rise: B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 3" Hitch...

I believe you will be able to use the Fastway Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set for Flash E Series Ball Mounts # FA86-00-3660 for a locking combination. The hitch lock is 3-5/8 inches from inside to inside so as long as your 3 inch receiver is under that 3-5/8 at the outer edges you will be fine.
