Perfect fit for hitch I bought this for. Weld looks good. Dimensions are accurate.



by:

Quality seems good even though it’s made in China. Welds are perfect. I love these Zinc plated drawbars with the solid shank. In New England the cheap painted steel ones with tube shank rust out from the inside. Hopefully the plating holds up as long as the older US made ones we have.



by:

As always with etrailer, the product I ordered (12,000 lb ball mount) is exactly what I ordered and arrived sooner than the original promised date. These folks are awesome to deal with and prices are always competetive. Thanks to the staff at etrailer!



by:

Needed a ball mount and ball to tow 7500#, these items exceeded my expectations. They are well made, finishes are great. I am very pleased with this ball mount and ball combination. If anyone needs to tow up to 10,000# this is the combo to go with.



by:

Perfect! Exactly what we needed for our new cargo trailer.

Solid ball mount. Quick delivery

If you would like to provide more information about your experience I am more than happy to assist you in getting your review updated.



by:

Everything was great .trying to figure out how to get 450ft lbs of torgue was interesting.



by:

If I had realized this item has a solid shank I would have purchased the one piece forged unit (40330). The forged unit costs less and has a higher capacity.



by:

Solid product. Would recommend.

Works as expected.



by:

Excellent hitch! Needed the extended length as our bumper isn't notched for towing. With a tongue weight of 1100#, there aren't many hitches that offer the extension with weight rating. This one fits perfect! Thanks



by:

This hitch is solid - literally! Super heavy duty.



by:

I ordered all the wrong Parts but the salesperson was able to quickly get me on the right path with what I needed thanks a lot



by:

Very rugged ball mount and is longer than the typical length. Great option if you need a Class IV level mount with a little extra bumper clearance length.



by:

This is definitely a sturdy hitch. The quality of the product is undeniable and I'm looking forward to putting my first big load on it. The extra length is just what I needed to get my trailer winch back far enough to lower my truck's tailgate while hooked up.

Customer service has been outstanding. Product arrived neatly packaged 3 days earlier than it was supposed to and a follow up email asking if anything was wrong was sent not even a day after receiving delivery.



by:

The ball mount, p/n 4284, fit perfectly on my 2007 Range Rover. It extends out from under the vehicle far enough to safely attach my utility trailer without damaging the rear of the Range Rover. I recommend this ball mount to anyone needing this application. Thanks for a great product.



by:

The product was everything that was advertised. It fit perfect and was a perfect length. I needed 3 inches and this ball mount got me 4 inches. Perfect. Thanks P.S. The 2-5/16" ball was perfect too !!



by:

WOW ... I WAS POSITIVELY AMAZED AT EVERY STAGE OF THE ORDER and/or DELIVERY CYCLE ... EVEN THE BOX THAT THIS "WEIGHTY" ORDER CAME IN HAD CUTOUT HANDHOLDS TO MAKE THE LIFTING and/or CARRYING PROCESS OF THE BOX FROM MY FRONT DOOR TO THE GARAGE EASIER.

I DEFINITELY PLAN ON ORDERING FROM eTRAILER AGAIN !!!

See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Ball Mount

  • Options for Long Ball Mount for a 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
    You have two options, neither are ideal though. To get an extension 13 inches or more you are going to need to use a Titan Extension like part # RP45292. Only issue here is the minimum this extension this product can give is 24 inches, which may be too much. Then for a ball mount to go along with this extension you would want part # 4280 as this has a 2 inch drop like you requested. The other option you have would be a ball mount like part # AMSCV-2 which will fit your 2-1/2 inch hitch...

  • Parts Needed to Install Reese # 83660 On Travel Trailer
    If your TT has an A-frame type tongue, you can certainly use the # 83660 Reese Friction Sway Control. I'm not entirely sure what you mean when you said your hitch was straight. I'll assume that you're speaking of a straight ball mount with no rise/drop, kind of like # 4280, is that correct? If that's the case, you can use the # RP26003 adapter which installs between the trailer ball and the ball mount. All the rest of the necessary hardware is included with the friction sway unit. I've...

  • Fit and Compatibility of Alumistinger Ball Mount and Recommended Ball for Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    The Andersen Aluminstinger # AM3503 has a towing capacity of 8,000lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 800lbs. If your boat trailer and cargo are below this weight then the Andersen Alumistinger Ball Mount will perform great. Typically tongue weight is 10-15% of the trailer, so for your 5,000lb boat would be anywhere from 500-750lbs. If you are planning on upgrading your boat then I would recommend a higher capacity ball mount like the Draw-Tite # 4280. This ball mount also has the 1...

  • Selecting A Ball Mount When Trailer And Coupler Are Same Height
    When towing, the trailer should always be as level as possible. A level trailer will put less strain on the connection between the trailer and hitch. It will also help the trailer stay in line behind the vehicle. I have attached a couple of helpful articles that you can check out that explains towing and how to measure to make certain you get the correct ball mount. After you have taken your measurements you can check out the attached link for the ball mounts we offer. Use the menu on...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for a Truck and Trailer that Sit Perfectly Level
    Since your hitch height is the exact same as your coupler height your best option would be to go with a ball mount with a 1 inch rise since that is the closest to a zero rise/drop ball mount we offer. The tongue weight of your trailer will cause the rear of your truck to sag slightly which will put your setup at very close to perfectly level. The ball mounts part numbers # 4280 and # 4284 both would work well for you. The # 4284 is just a longer version of the # 4280.

  • Dimensions of Draw-Tite Heavy Duty Ball Mount part # 4280
    The platform that the ball mounts to is 3 inches wide by 7/8 inches thick. The shank that s into the hitch is 2X2 inches square. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the ball platform is 3-5/16 inches. If the Thule rack you have is designed to clamp around the ball mount and has a maximum clamp of 2-5/8x2-5/8 inches, it should fit around this ball mount, but you need to measure your hitch. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your hitch to the face...

  • Looking for Ball Mount with 3/4 Inch Rise or Drop
    I'm guessing you're needing a ball mount, is that correct? Were you needing a rise or a drop? If you're needing a 3/4 inch rise, the # D-4 ball mount would provide that. If you flip the # D-4 to the drop position, you'd have a 2 inch drop, which is as close as we can get to a 3/4 inch drop. As long as the trailer ball places the trailer within 2 inches of level, you'll be just fine. The ball mount has a 7500 lb capacity. For a Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3, and a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball,...
