The B&W Tow & Stow adjustable ball mount lets you tow a variety of trailers with different tongue heights. Having a 1-7/8" ball, 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.

The function of the hitch seems to have everything that I have needed after over a year of service. It even still looks good after daily use.
by: Dwayne 01/15/2024
Versatile, heavy duty hitch. I love the ability for it to change from one need to the next without a bunch of fuse. And, then when not needed it will fold out of the way.
by: John12/11/2022
Would probably rate higher but I have not needed to use either tow package yet. Seems good, looks great, pretty straight forward to install.
by: Tawnya04/26/2023
This hitch is amazing !I tow trailers for friends and family alot ,and now I only have to carry one hitch .Being able to leave the hitch in and not smash my knees ,is a really cool feature .

Best in the business!

Heavy duty hitch. Only issue was it is a very tight fit into the receiver.

Looks very sturdy and adjusts easily. Also made in USA

Fantastic Hitch! Very well designed. Super Strong and Easy to Adjust with Excellent anti theft Features. Love this Hitch!! Highly recommend it!!
by: Martin09/22/2022
Order arrived quickly and etrailer communication was great. The only small niggle I have is that the box was open as the heavy duty copper box staples were detached, so I must have received a unit that somebody else had returned. However, all pieces are present and the unit is in good condition, so I’ve already mounted it to the truck and it looks great. Hopefully it will deter people from rear-ending me - which was one of my motivations for getting it!
by: Blake 02/09/2021
I love the product and have owned a few B &W hitches. The only negative about this one was my wife bought it for me and didnt know the difference but purchased one that fits a 3/4 ton truck and not my half ton truck. Even with this I will be buying more B & W hitches, only I will be purchasing them myself.
by: Chip01/09/2019
Nice hitch, a little sloppy tolerances. Definitely pinch points when adjusting the ball height and stowing. Count your fingers before and after.
The fastway hitch locks will work on the receiver, but not long enough to replace the pins on the ball adjustment.
by: J.D.05/14/2023
Excellent product. Hot just right.
by: Thomas 10/19/2021
Fast shipping and well packaged.B&W hitches are top notch. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

by: Robert 04/08/2021
I have had this for over a year now and use it on a regular basis with the F350. It stands up to its reputation and is as sturdy and reliable as I could have hoped for. Highly recommended!!
by: SDM02/20/2022
I have a F250, and the 4 1/2 inch drop works fine.
by: Joshua06/25/2019
With so many companies online selling hitches, I never know which company to pick! Rest assure that etrailer is the real deal!!! For sure will do business again with no hesitation.
by: Mark 03/19/2020

- Does B and W Tow N Stow Adjustable Ball Mount have WarrantyThe ball mounts we offer do have warranties on them. For example, the B and W Tow N Stow Adjustable Ball Mount part # BWTS30048B that you referenced has a limited lifetime warranty.

The gross towing weight for the ball mount is as follows: When used with the 1-7/8 inch ball - 3,500 pounds When used with the 2 inch ball - 7,500 pounds When used with the 2-5/16 inch ball - 21,000 pounds The # BWTS30048B has a maximum drop of 4-1/2 inches and has a maximum rise of 4 inches....
view full answer... - Will the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount fit 2020 Ford F-250 Super DutyThe B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 3" Hitch - 4-1/2" Drop, 4" Rise # BWTS30048B will fit your 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty as long as you have a 3" hitch. This also has a maximum drop of 4-1/2" and requires 11" from ground to the lowest point on the Tow & Stow. Without the minimum 11" clearance the hitch may hit the ground or other objects such as steep driveways or curbs. I have attached a review video for your reference.
view full answer... - Is There a 3-Ball Ball Mount For 3 Inch Hitch With 5 Inch DropHi Tommy; that's correct there isn't a 3-ball ball mount for a 3 inch hitch with exactly a 5 inch drop. The closest is a 4-1/2 inch drop like you said with the 21,000 lb max capacity B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS30048B. There is another option with a bit closer to the drop you want - 5-1/4 inches - but it's a 2-ball mount. I know you asked for the tri-ball but I did want to just throw this out there as an option. For that you would need the 22,000 lb max capacity BulletProof Hitches...
view full answer... - Which B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount Do I Need for a 2006 Ford F-250The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS30048B is designed for a 3" receiver tube opening therefore if this is what you have on your 2006 Ford F-250 then yes, it will work for you. However, if I had to guess I would say that you have a 2" receiver tube opening on your F-250 therefore for a similar same ball mount with a 2" receiver tube opening you will need the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10048B which offers a 5" drop and has the three hitch balls you are looking for (1-7/8",...
view full answer... - Tongue Weight Capacity for B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount part # BWTS30048BThe tongue weight (TW) capacity of the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount part # BWTS30048B will be 10% of the gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity for the respective hitch ball. So when you use the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball you'd have a TW capacity of 2,100 lb, when using the 2 inch ball 750 lbs, and when using 1-7/8 inch ball 350 lbs.
view full answer... - Locking Hitch Pin Kit Recommendation for B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 3" HitchThe locking hitch pin kit I recommend for your B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 3" Hitch # BWTS30048B is part # IR29FR which is rated for 21K and gives you matching locks for the hitch receiver, ball mount platform, and the hitch ball itself. This was you can lock all of the parts of your Tow & Stow using the same key.
view full answer... - Does B and W Tow&Stow Adjustable Ball Mount Affect Turning RadiusThe B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS30048B that you referenced does not affect your turning radius. The balls that are on either side would be too low to cause any interference.

view full answer... - Which B and W Tow & Stow Adjustable Ball Mount for 2021 Ford F-350 with 3 inch HitchFor the 3 inch hitch of your 2021 Ford F-350 to determine if you need the 4-1/2 inch drop Tow and Stow part # BWTS30048B or the 7-1/2 inch drop part # BWTS30049B will be based largely on the trailers you plan to tow and how tall the coupler sits from the ground when level. The exact way to determine this would be to measure from the top of your hitch opening down to the ground compared to the distance from the bottom of the coupler lip to the ground when trailer is sitting level. If that...
view full answer... - Will the Hitch Pin Hole On B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount Fit a 2021 Ford F-250 with 3" HitchThe trailer hitch pin hole on a 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty should be the standard 5/8" diameter. Since you have the truck, I recommend measuring to confirm. Therefore, the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS30048B would be a great option since it also uses a 5/8" diameter hitch pin hole.
view full answer... - Best B&W Tow and Stow Ball Mount for a 2022 Ford F-350I would be happy to help you find the right ball mount for your husbands birthday. You are gong to need to measure the receiver on the end of his F-350 to determine the correct ball mount you need. You will want to measure the inside of the square. It should be 3' x 3" or 2.5" x 2.5". The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount item # BWTS30048B you were looking at fits a 3" hitch. Which means it would need a receiver that measures 3" x 3".
