I use this hitch when I pull my horse trailer to make the stop/start transitions as smooth as possible for the horses in the back. It works great. I also love that its a category IV hitch. Really heavy duty. My truck sits pretty high, and the amount of drop - 8" is perfect. I never worry about hitch failure travelling with my horses - they're a heavy load, and any failure would be a disaster.
E Trailer provided excellent service, and their shipping to Canada was prompt and hassle free. Way to go guys, keep up the great work!

I have a 2012 GMC Sierra HD with a 12" suspension lift. I recently purchased a ball mount hitch with 8" inch drop for our 36' RV trailer and it worked great. It took 3 days for the hitch to get to me. Great service from e-trailer.

After having trouble finding the right drop height and weight rating receiver for my new Ford Expedition Max, I called etrailer and Ashley was awesome in helping me as I needed something quickly. I've just travelled 1200 miles interstate with the "Convert-A-Ball" unit and I'm thrilled with it. The mount cushions the movement and had zero jolts or tugging with the trailer. Great product so far and at this stage I wouldn't use anything else!

This has been truly amazing and I wouldn’t use anything else towing these days. I’ve recommended the mount to a lot of people who tow who have never heard of it or seen it before. Great job!



by:

Excellent quality. Ordering was easy and delivery was fast. Looks like the perfect amount of drop for my jeep to keep trailers level.



by:

I have a 2011 Dodge diesel 3500. I tow a large horse trailer and haul heavy loads of hay on a flat bed trailer...I need a hitch with large towing capacity and strong tongue weight...I looked locally and was not able to find one with an 8 inch drop. My truck is 4 x 4 and has air bags in the rear...I needed an 8 inch drop to keep my trailer level... The hitch I got from Etrailer is just what I was looking for and gives me assurance that I will not be over loading my hitch..

The 8 inch deop cushoned ball hitch I got is working just great. I have had no problems at all and am very happy with it.. Thanks, Al M



by:

A well made product, works as expected. The anti vibration is a great addition.



by:

I wanted my truck and cargo trailer to ride level. This drop down hitch worked perfect. The cushioned trailer hitch receiver was an added benefit. The UPS tracking feature was fun to watch as the package traveled from town to town. I will give you folks an A+++ for quality and service. Thanks for the personal touch in your E-mail inquiry. Awesome Possum



by:

I love this hitch!
It took 100% of the
annoying trailer bumping and tugging that you feel when pulling a trailer. I have a 2012 tahoe and pull a 1000 pound trailer frequently, after getting this hitch I sometimes forget im pulling a trailer.



by:

Bought a new 4X4 pickup and old ball mount was too high. This cushioned ball mount was just what I needed. I measured the drop per e-trailers guide and it came out perfect. The new ball had a 1" shank that fits tightly in the ball mount and the new pin allows any alignment of the clip which is real handy. The pin was about 1" longer than it needed to be but makes it easy to slide my breakaway cable on it. I tow two different trailers, 1500 & 2700 pounds, so I have lots of margin with this mount and ball.



by:

Nothing complicated here. Ball mount works as advertised. Good price, fast delivery.



by:

This ball mount was EXACTLY what i have been searching for! I was searching for months to find something with this big of drop and the right weight ratio and was not been able to find it until i found it on this website and i COULDNT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER! Exactly what i needed to pull my horse trailer. Very accurate discription and fast shipping!
thanks so much Etrailer.com!

Excellent product. Basically eliminates any shock and hitch rattle when towing my boat.

A year has passed and the hitch is still performing as new. Buy it and solve your problem once and for all.



by:

I needed a 10,000 lb. rated hitch with an 8" drop to tow my car trailer and this hitch fit the bill. I LOVE the cushioned mount system! Another winner from etrailer.com.



by:

I have been looking for an 8 inch drop Class IV draw bar for my motor home to get my car trailer to pull level during a 1500 mile trip to Oshkosh, WI. None could be found with the weight rating required. Andrea C. at etrailer.com was very helpful, ordered exactly what I needed and the parts were delivered to a campground where I was staying safe and complete. My order was delivered in 2 days, the order was complete and in perfect condition. I would suggest you go on-line or give them a call for any trailer parts or accessories you might need. Thumbs up!



by:

This ball mount is a beast. It may be a little overkill for my little trailer, but better safe than sorry. Hooking a small camper to a Nissan Pathfinder required an 8" drop and this fit the bill perfectly.
Extremely sturdy unit and the shipping was fast. Ordered it Friday and received it the following Tuesday. Not impressive until you add the fact that I'm In Calgary AB and it came from MO. That's fast.
I've ordered many things from etrailer and the service has always been exceptional.



by:

This product and company is very good. Ask you would like and expect. On this particular ball mount; I couldn't attach my Anti-rattle bracket due to the triangular brace on the underside of it interferes. Using it in my 2004 F350. I'll try again to figure something out but an not willing to cut into it modify anything on this back mount which would compromise it.



by:

Owned for 1 year, it has been reliable and no issues. Happy about the availability of various drop sizes. I’m not sure that the cushion makes a huge difference on light trailers. I have one of these for my boat and I think it makes a bigger difference than for my light snowmobile trailer.



by:

After carefully considering all the options, I went with the cushioned ball mount. I was pleased with the excellent shipping and quality of the product - exactly as advertised. I am anxious to get this ball mount into use on my truck with a car hauler trailer. Thanks to etrailer for a great online shopping experience - I will be coming back for sure.



by:

Placed a 6 inch lift under my 350 Ford, found these 8 and 10 inch drop hitches to be of great quality and good value. The order shipped free and only took 3 days to receive. Great company that I will inform my friends of and use in the future. Thanks !



by:

Hitch fits and works great. Excellent price AND free shipping to boot. Good thing because this hitch is heavy duty. Tech support was also helpful when I needed them.



by:

Awesome product and great customer service. I received a notification every step of the way to let me know that the product I ordered was available and would be shipped shortly and again when it shipped. Received my mount a day ahead of schedule. Will definitely buy from etrailer.com again.



by:

Paula and etrailer are great! I needed a higher rise hitch and Paula was great to help me return the one I purchased and get the right one ordered!!!! Thank you!!!



by:

Excellent product, I cannot even feel the trailer under acceleration or braking. Before I could hear clunking and movement every now and then when hitting bumps - it's all gone. It definitely worth the extra coin. LOVE IT!



by:

perfect drop for my trailer. Good distance from truck and strong,

  • Which Would Provide More Cushioning a Curt Rockerball or a Convert a Ball Cushioned Ball Mount
    The Curt Rockerballs # C94CR will make a bigger improvement in ride quality over a Convert a Ball ball Mount like the part # AMSC8. The Rockerball allows quite a bit more movement than the ball mount which is why it does a better job.

    Thanks for reaching out and your purchase of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e93ZR for your 2022 Nissan Rogue! To choose the correct ball mount you'll need to figure out the difference between the height of your hitch receiver and your trailer coupler. To measure your hitch receiver height you'll measure from the ground to the top inside of your receiver. When we installed this on a 2021 Rogue we found this height to be 11-3/4".

  • Cushioned 8 inch Drop Ball Mount Recommendation
    I attached a help article on how to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount so that you can tow your trailer level. For an 8 inch drop ball mount Cushioned part # AMSC8 would be a great choice. The customers who have reviewed this ball mount all love it so I am confident you will too. For a 2 inch ball you would need the part # 40038, for a 2-5/16 inch ball part # C40007, and for a 1-7/8 inch ball part # 19260.

  • How to Pick Out Ball Mount for 2014 Toyota Sienna Towing Boat Trailer
    I wasn't able to find the coupler height of the trailer you are interested in so your best option would be to contact who you are buying it from and have them measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler lip with the trailer level. When we installed the Draw Tite # 76112 on a 2014 Toyota Sienna like yours we found that it measured 12 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch opening. If you compare that 12 inch figure to the coupler height you get for your trailer you'll be...

  • Towing a Vehicle on a Tow Dolly Behind a Motor Home and Carrying Bikes at the Same Time
    Curt offers dual hitch receiver # D-192 but it does not have a drop. It is rated for 3,500 pounds gross towing weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. But using it will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. I would normally recommend going with # D210 but it only has a 2-1/4 inch drop. Another option is to use a ball mount with 8 inch drop # AMSC8 with a bike carrier such as # Y36FR. But this may or may not work depending on how far it is from the face of the receiver...

  • Will Curt RockerBall Work With Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount With 8 Inch Drop
    Ok, let's start with the Curt RockerBall, which is actually not going to be compatible with a cushioned ball mount, which the Convert-A-Ball is - for stability, the RockerBall can only be used with a standard ball mount. You would normally take the added height of the RockerBall into account, yes, but there isn't a standard ball mount with the drop you need to use the RockerBall, so I recommend instead going with the cushioned Convert-A-Ball ball mount and standard hitch ball.

    The cushion inside of the Convert-A-Ball cushioned ball mount # AMSC4 would have only a slight affect on the surge coupler on your trailer. You may not even notice it.
