Specs:
This unique mount from Gen-Y Hitch includes a ball mount that can be easily positioned in one of the 4 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.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount with the pintle lock, has a nine inch drop or rise, and it's for a three inch hitch, has a 32,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this is an adjustable ball mount, this will let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank right here is what'll slide into your three inch hitch receiver on your vehicle, and then upfront here, you have either a 2 5/16 diameter ball or a two inch diameter ball, which will provide the connection points for your trailer coupler. If you noticed on this one, it also includes this pintle lock accessory. When this is paired with the larger 2 5/16 ball, it'll provide a connection point for a lunette ring coupler.
And just to demonstrate what happens on the lunette ring, on some of your large trailers, they'll have a large ring on the front and it's a lunette ring, it's designed to drop over the ball. So what you'll do is pop open, take off this pin and clip, push the pintle lock back out of the way, and then you'll make your connection to your lunette ring, so you'll drop your lunette ring over the ball, and to keep it attached to the ball so it doesn't unhook, that's where you slide this pintle lock up over that, and then your lunette ring will stay underneath there, and then you'll secure it in place with the pin and the clip, and that'll hold that lunette ring in place. If you're not gonna use it with the lunette ring coupler, you can actually just slide this back out of the way, and there's a second pin that you can slide that through, and it'll hold it in the closed position if you're not using it. Now, if you noticed on this, it has four stacked 2 1/2 inch receiver openings, it'll accept the included ball mount and pintle lock as well as other hitch-mounted accessories. It does have the two 3/4 inch diameter stainless steel pins and clips, and that's to secure the ball mount to the shank and the pintle lock to the shank.
And what's nice is on the clips, they use a twist lock design, which I really like, makes it very easy to remove and install your clips. All you do is twist it, and as you twist the clip, it'll just pop right out just like that, and you'll do the same on the bottom, just like that, and then you can remove your pin, you can remove your pintle lock if you want. What I wanna do is just show you how we're gonna remove this one from a ball mount, and this has got the 2 5/16 up. Now, if you wanna flip it over to the two inch, all you have to do is slide this ball mount out, rotate it just like that, and slide it right back into place. Now, I'm putting it back in the same hole, but you have this whole range that you can put the ball mount up or down.
The adjustable height will let you tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle, works well if you have a lifted truck. So as I mentioned, you can move this ball mount higher or lower to match your application. If you put it in the lowest position, it'll get you a maximum drop of nine inches, if you install the shank, reverse it into the rise position, and then put this ball mount in the highest point, it'll get you a maximum rise of nine inches. So we're just gonna slip the two inch application back in place, put the pin through there. And again, with this push clip, you just push it, it'll twist right onto place, you don't have to force it.
Just like that, you're all ready to go. Now, this is a nice heavy-duty steel construction, they do use a nice zinc primer and then they coat it with a durable silver vein epoxy powder coat to resist corrosion. Now, when you do install this into your three inch hitch receiver, it will require a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock for securing it to your hitch receiver, those items we do sell separately in our website. They do offer two hitch pin hole diameters, the smaller one is a 5/8 inch, the large one is a 3/4 inch diameter. This is SAE J684 certified, it is made in the USA. Again, the application, this will fit a three inch by three inch trailer hitch receiver opening. Now, the weight capacities will just depend on the ball size you use, so if you use the smallest two inch ball diameter, you'll have a gross towing weight capacity of 16,000 pounds, maximum tongue weight of 1,500 pounds. If you flip it over and use the larger 2 5/16 diameter ball, you'll have a gross towing weight capacity of 32,000 pounds, maximum tongue weight of 3,500 pounds. Now, this ball mount does have many different dimensions, so what I do recommend for you to do is go to the product page of this part number, we have a picture of all this part with all the dimensions on it, so they'll let you verify any dimensions that you maybe needing for your application. But that should do it for the review on this Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount with the pintle lock, has a nine inch drop or rise, and it's for a three inch hitch..

Insert this heavy-duty mount into your 3" hitch to get 4 stacked 2-1/2" receivers for mounting the included 2" ball, 2-5/16" ball, pintle hook, or other hitch-mounted accessory. Tongue weight is 3,500 lbs.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 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.
Very heave duty built perfect for what I’m going to use it for
It was as advertised. Box was a bit beat up and the delivery fellow was not happy carrying it. We will be using it shortly.
Excellent quality. Above and beyond what I expected.
Excellent prompt service
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!!
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Nice hitch need a set of locking pins please send me what’s available
