Specs:
This unique mount from Gen-Y Hitch includes a ball mount that can be easily positioned in one of the 5 stacked receivers that sits along the vertical shank of the unit. This dual-ball mount lets you tow a trailer with a 2" ball coupler or a 2-5/16" ball coupler.
Also included is a pintle lock, which can be inserted into the receiver directly above the ball mount to create a pintle hitch for hooking up a trailer with a lunette ring. Unlike other adjustable pintle hooks on the market, there are no nuts and bolts to remove and retorque when you change the positioning of this hitch. Just move the ball mount and pintle lock up or down to get the proper height and secure them in place with the included pins.
With the 5 stacked receivers, not only do you have the ability to adjust the height of the included ball mount, but you also have the ability to add various other hitch-mounted accessories.

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Gen-Y adjustable two-ball mount with the pintle lock. Has a nine inch drop and rise and it's for a 2 1/2 inch hitch. And this has a 32,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this is an adjustable ball mount that'll let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle.
Basically, the shank portion right here is what'll slide into your 2 1/2 inch hitch receiver on your vehicle. And then up front, you can use either this 2 5/16 diameter ball or this two inch ball. Those will provide the connection points for your trailer coupler. Also on this part, they do include this pintle lock accessory. When this accessory is paired with the larger 2 5/16 ball, it'll provide a nice connection point for a lunette ring coupler.
And a lunette ring coupler is used on a lot of heavy-duty trailers. Just a large ring that'll drop over the ball. Basically, I wanna pop up an insert. That picture, if you look, will show you a lunette ring over this ball. And then you can see the pintle lock accessory sliding out to hold it into place.
Basically, to install that, all you have to do is take out your pin and clip, slide the accessory back out of the way. Go ahead and hook up your lunette ring to the ball. Once it gets down on there, slide this over the lunette ring, line up your pin with the hole, clip it into place, and then that'll lock it into place. Keeps that lunette ring from coming off the ball. Now, if you happen to not be using a lunette ring coupler, just a regular trailer coupler, you can actually store this lock out of the way.
Just slide it back. There's a second hole. And then clip that into place. And it'll store this pintle lock accessory into the shank and you can use this for a regular trailer coupler. Now, the capacity on this ball mount will be determined by the ball size you used. So, if you use this larger 2 5/16 diameter ball, gross towing weight capacity is 32,000 pounds. Tongue weight capacity of 3,500 pounds. If you flip it over and use the two inch diameter ball, gross towing weight capacity of 16,000 pounds. Tongue weight capacity of 1,500 pounds. If you notice, this shank has a five stacked 2 1/2 inch size receivers. These will accept the included ball mount and pintle lock we mentioned as well as other hitch mounted accessories. It does come with these two 3/4 inch diameter stainless steel pins and clips. Those are included to secure the ball mount to the shank and the pintle lock to the shank. And one thing I wanted to mention, talk about is this twist lock or this twist clip design. It's a really nice feature cause usually those clips are just straight. And when you try to put them on, sometimes it's hard to push them on or hard to get them off. On these, you just twist it. And as you twist it, you can see it pops right off. Slide out your pin. And then when you go to install it, put your pin in and then you just push them into place. And when you push it, it'll clip into place. It's twisting goes into place. So, those clips are very easy to use. Now, this does give you adjustable height. It'll let you tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. Works well if you have a lifted truck. Basically, this ball mount can be put in any one of these receiver openings to get you the correct height you need for your application. Maximum drop, in other words, if you install this shank just like this and put this in the lowest position, it'll get you a maximum drop of nine inches. If you take this shank and flip it over into the rise position and put that in the highest position, it'll get you a maximum rise of nine inches. Now, this is a heavy-duty steel construction. Has a zinc primer and a black powder coat finish on the two-ball mount and the pintle lock accessory. On the shank itself, it uses a nice primer and then a durable silver vein epoxy powder coat to resist corrosion. Now, when you do install this into your hitch receiver, it will require a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock for securing it to the receiver. Those items are not included. We do sell those separately on our website. And they give you two different size hitch pin hole diameters here. It's got a 5/8 inch diameter on the smaller one, 3/4 inch on the larger one. This part is SAE J684 certified. It is made in the USA. Application, again, this fits a 2 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch hitch receiver. And one last note I do wanna mention on this, this ball mount does have many different dimensions to it. So, I do recommend for you to go to the product page of this part number to verify any dimension that may be needed for your application. But that should do it for the review on the Gen-Y adjustable two-ball mount with the pintle lock accessory, and it has a nine inch drop or rise for a 2 1/2 inch hitch..

Insert this heavy-duty mount into your 2-1/2" hitch to get 5 stacked 2-1/2" receivers for mounting the included 2" ball, 2-5/16" ball, pintle hook, or other hitch-mounted accessory.Packaging could be better. Brand new expensive hitch and because it’s packaged poorly there are dings and scrapes and missing coatings on the flats where it’s been banged around. There again this is a bad ass hitch and extremely sturdy and well built. This is a tool and meant to work so the dings aren’t a big deal really if you’re going to use it as such but if you’re wanting show truck sparkle this didn’t suffice. I know these spots where the hitch has been dinged will rust.
Great product. Very stout, but also very heavy. Only complaint is the weight, particularly because I am not a full time trailer “tower” so I install/remove frequently. Definitely peace of mind in terms of not having to worry about ball mount issues with 2500#+ tongue weight.
The hitch is great except for one problem. The ramp in front of the 2 5/16 ball that is for a pintle hitch is cracking at the weld.
This hitch is solid. It u is very heavy. I will never need something different. I have towed thousands of miles with three different trailers. I like the flexibility. Works very well for me.
Hitch Came Quickly and Looks To Be Of Great Quality!!
Thank You Kim !!
Looks fantastic.
I had to return and get a 6" drop because this 9" drop hangs too low for my 2019 silverado 3500 SRW.
Its stout and pulls my 7X16 foot enclosed trailer, fully loaded with 8,000 pounds, without any issue. I don't even know that its back there. I have a diesel Ram 2500 with an 8 inch lift and the hitch drops level with the trailer. 5 stars!!
Product is pretty awesome. very well built. We use in the marine shop for towing 42-50ft 25k+ boats. This is the first product to withstand the requirments. The pintle is so simple and keeps the shop truck from having to swap a standard ball and P-hook between different trailer applications. Highly recommend for the serious user. Its HEAVY so handling the product is a chore but reliability is definatly there. if you buy locking pin for hitch, buy the strongest you can find. We damaged one with this product.
This hitch has been used with both balls in every height position. Hitch is durable and high quality. It has not been off my truck since I purchased it and is used frequently to tow 10-20K trailers.
This is great. Heavy duty, quality product. will use to tow my toad behind my RV & bike rack for bikes above tow bar
Awesome heavy duty hitch, ordered some locking pins for just incase someone felt strong enough to to take it.
This hitch is the last one I should ever have to buy. It is well worth the money and should last a long time. I pull 10,000lb trailers and it works out well. No rattling or clanking with this hitch.
By far the most heavy duty hitch I have ever purchased. Could tell whwn I picked up the box it was well built! Just got it on when I got home from work and haven't used it yet, but it will definitely get tested tomorrow. I will post pics later. If you are on the fence, get it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Simpliflies the work of switching between ball sizes. And will minimize damage from others if struck in the rear.
Haven't used it yet but it looks great! 19 f250 with 8" lift and 37's. The 12 drop is perfect
This is a well built long lasting hitch.
the product looks great. Everything was as described and it looks very durable. The color looks better in person than in the photos.
I have both ball and pintle hitch Trailers. That is why I bought this hitch. The hitch it self is well built but the Paint job is not that great . I have had it a year and most of the paint on the Shank ( another reason I bought it for the 3" shank to fit my receiver on my ford Superduty) is pretty much gone. The hitch it self still clanks around in the receiver .I wish there was an adaptor to fit over the Larger ball so that my pintle eye would not move around so much.
Nice hitch need a set of locking pins please send me what’s available
