Video Transcript for Draw-Tite 3 Inch Hitch Ball Mount Review
Hey, everybody out of here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the draw-tite trailer ball mount. So, this is going to be for our three inch hitch receiver. So, you want to make sure that it's going to be able to fit your hitch receiver that you have. And this is going to be a very, very heavy duty ball mount. It's made of forged steel, and it's going to give us a massive eight inch drop or a six inch rise so that all this comes into play on what you're really hauling.
But, you do have the option here. There's a couple of things we're going to have to get first, and we're going to need a hitch pin and clip. The diameter of the hole is about 5A seven inch. Instead of just getting a basic hitch pin and clip where you can just pull the pin, pull the clip, and you can take the ball mount out, grab one that's locking just because they make them for a reason and we just want to make sure that this thing's going to stay connected to our truck. So I would highly recommend doing it.
We have a bunch of them here. I just like this one right here, just because it is a pickles lock and we have crazy customizable keys that are going to be really, really hard to match. And, once we go like this and push it in, it's nice and solid and locked into place. So I like that. Also, another thing we're going to need is a trailer ball.
So you want to make sure it's going to match up with the coupler, just look at the top of your coupler. And that should tell you what size it is, if you don't already know. So, another thing is, we need to make sure that it's gonna, the ball that we pick is going to have a inch and a quarter diameter shank. Why Well, that is the size of the hole. We don't want anything bigger because it won't fit in and anything smaller, is going to have way too much play.
So see how it's kind of the same exact size Well, that's what we're looking for. Just because this thing is extremely heavy duty, we want to make sure that we match up everything nicely. The ball is about 20,000 pounds, the ones that we have right here. But, the ball mount goes up to 21,000 pounds. So if you wanna not limit your ball mount by a thousand pounds is get a ball that's going to be rated for at least 21,000 pounds and you should be good. It's going to have a tongue weight capacity of 2100 pounds. And again, when it comes to these bigger ball mounts, you just want in something strong, this is going to be extremely strong. There's not any adjustments to it, so you're kind of stuck with either the eight inch drop or the six inch rise. But another thing you can do is there's other type of trailer balls that will actually have a little bit longer of a plate here, whether it's an inch or two inches. So you're not really stuck with the rise and drop with a fixed ball mount like this. You can compensate that with a different type of ball. So an adjustable ball mount, yeah, they're nice, but typically you only have to adjust it one or two times, so you can just grab a ball to compensate for that extra riser, drop in what you get. All in all, this is going to be a very, very nice and strong option for you, whether you're just hauling around your fun toys or just doing crazy work on the construction site. It looks good, powder-coated finish, and again, it's just forged and very, very strong. A useful measurement is the distance between the center of your hitch pinhole to the center of the ball, and that's about ten and a half inches. So it's not going to be too close to your vehicle, but it's also not super far out from the vehicle. So, that's just going to prevent a lot of the contacting may get, if you have a toolbox or a bike rack on the front of your trailer. So that's always kind of nice thing to have and measure just to make sure not going to have any issues. That's pretty much it for a look at the draw-tite trailer ball mount..

Purchased for my 2019 F350 hard to find 3” receiver. Massive steel construction, powder coated with machined ball floor. Fits well in receiver. This ball mount is built to get the job done.

tl;dr good experience with warts. The etrailer-branded ball mount kit I ordered was back-ordered for a month, which was fine. Eventually Ashley E told me it would be a _second_ month. Not fine. She helped me configure a new order of third party parts. Shipped in one day. Great! Not great: Parts were just thrown in a box with no protection. UPS did their usual thing. Paint was chipped in a couple of places; would surely rust. I'll shoot these spots with some spray paint before installation. Hope that's a fix. I can't afford to diddle with a return.

the ball was missing in the package the rest was ok, delivered when expected but had to go fish out from UPS as the package was not accepted due to damaged container. all was ok but no ball on ball mount ?

I needed an extended ball mount for my new Jeep in order for my utility trailer tongue to clear the rear mounted spare tire. Item is as described on the web site and was received earlier than expected.
etrailer has great customer service and is my number one go to place for towing and trailer supplies.
by: Gary 04/26/2024
Sara R was helpful helping me find the right hitch for what I described as needing.
I was excited to see the hitch pin in my order details even though I didn't order it. Sadly, the picture gave me a false impression.
Overall, excellent customer service and product.
by: Dale 04/02/2024
Almost everything about this combo is great my only concern is the locking clip wraps around a notch in the pin instead of sliding through a hole in the pin., otherwise the insert and ball work well on my Subaru Wilderness.
by: Tim02/09/2024
I had previously purchased the etrailer hitch for my 2021 Ford Transit 150.
It was a little short in length and the bumper prevented my current ball mount from working. As always, etrailer had the perfect solution. The Draw-Tite is well made and will now remain permanently with the van to be handy whenever the need arises.
by: Kathryna02/08/2024
Delivery was fast and on time. Thanks to their installation video the install was a snap. I didn't even need to lift the van. I played a piece of card board on the ground used a couple of wood blocks to support one end while I fished and fastened the bolts. I thought it would be a lot more difficult, therefore I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely a quality product from a quality company. Thankyou ETRAILER.

Excellent quality, fast shipping. Finding a metric ball for our international application was a bit difficult. We knew etrailer was the place to go for all things "trailer" related. Very happy with the purchase!
by: Neil M08/07/2013
Overall, I have to say that I am satisfied although not particularily impressed. The finish on the ball mount is mediocre ... there are several spots where the paint is chipped off for instance. It was received today and installed today with no use yet the pictures show the areas in question. You can tell by the label installation that someone who really didn't care rushed the operation. It also fit considerably looser than the Reese bar that I removed. I had to apply several turns of duct tape around the tube to make it as snug as the original. As I said, it'll do fine, just not impressed.
by: Timothy E.03/01/2017
Great products and service. I was able to order everything I needed to add a tow hitch and ball to my 2006 Jeep liberty. Very fast shipping. They even called me to verify orders and availability. Clear and easy to follow installation instructions. I hauled an [retailer] trailer from Texas to Ohio without any issues. Even bought a trailer and use it frequently for hardware stoe runs.
by: Leo 03/25/2024
It's a drop hitch not much to say, exactly what i ordered, and fast shipping.

Working in the sand and grass of my driveway my wife and I installed our new etrailer receiver hitch. Great fit and finish! Went right on as described in the online guide. Hitch required a spacer washer on top back bolt attachment point. Taped it on so it would not move while lifting in place and it stayed right there! Used a car jack to raise up and hold the hitch into the underside of the trunk tighten the bolts and reattached the tail pipe done.
Now we can pull our Sunfish Sailboat any where the car will go.

Strong and seems to be well made and well finished. One-inch ball mounting hole. I used this for a Curt hitch mounted on a 2014 Forester and pulls a small Harbor Freight trailer. Perfect height and trailer is level. Warning - don't get their hitch pin, it does not have a hole for a cotter pin, only a weak clip that I would not trust.

This Draw-Tite Ball Mount with 2" Ball is high quality, as is all products that Etrailer carries. I will be using it to pull my 10' aluminum trailer with my new Durango RT.
by: Ken07/21/2021
Very nice, good quality ball mount. Will work great to tow my car trailer.
by: Nick J.04/17/2017
I am very pleased with the hitch, ball mount, and electrical package. All were easy to install if you follow the easy to understand directions. An added plus for putting one of these on a MINI is that the hitch can be hidden behind the "black plate/cover" that is on the rear bumper. It looks just like it came out of the factory except when to need to install the ball mount.
The service has been outstanding. This is the place to go.

- What 2-5/16 Inch Ball will Fit the 1-1/4 Inch Hole Diameter of the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 40702?For 2-5/16 inch a ball that fits the 1-1/4 inch ball hole diameter of the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 40702, I recommend the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1-1/4" Diameter x 2-5/8" Long Shank # C40085. Since this ball has a 1-1/4 inch diameter shank, it is compatible with the # 40702. If you happen to need a hitch pin with the ball mount, the # BD580412 not only provides a snug fit, but it also has a lock for theft-deterrence.
