Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Draw-Tite 2 5/16 diameter chrome hitch ball, has a 14,000 pound weight capacity. Now, this hitch ball provides a connection point for your trailer's coupler. They do use the fine threads on this to provide an exceptionally tight, strong grip, and it is a durable steel construction. You can see it has a nice corrosion resistant chrome finish to it, and also, if you noticed, the flat sides here, these are built-in wrench flats that make it very easy to hold the ball in place while you're torquing the nut down. Does include the lock washer and the nut, it's all included.
Basically, when you go to install this, you'll put on your lock washer, put on your nut, and then torque it down to the correct specs. Again, the ball diameter is 2 5/16 inches, which is stamped on the top. The weight capacity is 14,000 pounds, which again is stamped on the top. Give you a few dimensions on this, we're gonna measure the shank. Now, this is designed to fit ball mount platforms that are 3/4 of an inch to 1 1/4 inch thick.
So the shank length is gonna be right at 2 3/4 quarter inches long, and the shank diameter is right at 1 1/4 inches. But that should do it for the review on this Draw-Tite 2 5/16 inch chrome hitch ball with the 14,000 pound capacity..

Durable steel ball has a 1-1/4" diameter x 2-3/4" long shank. Built-in wrench flats ease installation. Chrome finish resists corrosion. Fine threads provide strong grip. Lock washer and nut included.Very helpful! Immediately notified me that the ball I had ordered was out of stock. E-trailer suggested an alternative, and expedited the order to me after I accepted.
Great product, excellent service from etrailer! Thank you guys!
It's a hitch ball and does the job. Nothing glamorous to report. Retired the previous hitch ball due to its age (25 years).
The hitch ball is exactly what I was looking for. It has the wrench flats I wanted to be able to keep the ball from rotating while tightening or loosening the ball. It also has a gross tow rating of 14,000 lbs which was on the higher end of hitch balls with wrench flats. As usual, etrailer was easy to deal with.
It's a hitch ball. Simple. But you do need a 1 7/8" socket to install it. And the ability to torque it to 450ft lbs.
I just received my ball mount receiver and ball. Great looking product. I'm excited to see how the cushion works. Torqueing the ball to 450ft lbs. was fun!!!
My order of hitch ball, ball mount and pin was delivered on time.
Well made, works like it should
Very substantial ball, washer, and bolt. I wish it came with more detailed installation instruction as I wasn't quite sure where the washer needed to go.
I purchased this ball for my 10k lb trailer project. Although I haven't been able to use this ball yet, the quality looks to be very nice.
Very solid and fit perfectly in the hitch that I had. Haven't used it to pull the trailer, yet, but will be doing that within the next week or so. I think it will be just perfect.
Thank you for a great site with "how-to's" and for your easy ordering, conscientious follow-up, and quick processing.
Good fit. You'll need 2 - 2" wrenches and a big 3ft pipe to crank to 600 ft lbs. Best done when draw bar and head are mounted on vehicle.
Hitch ball...does what its suppose to.
fast service! good products !!! would buy from etrailer again.
Great ball!!!

working great....
Wonderful product! Most importantly their customer service was beyond exceptional. I ordered incompatible items and instead of just shipping them they reached out to better understand my need, and get me the right items. Every person I worked with was phenomenal! Huge shout out to Tyra F she saved my life with this move!
Appears well built and "feels like an A." (Back to School)
Says it's good for 14,000 lbs.
I'm pulling 12,000 lbs.
I hope I don't have to retract my 5 star rating - ever.
Just as shown, good quality, fits well. Not: Requires a 2" wrench or socket and the ability to tighten to 425 ft lbs.
So far so good!
No Problems
nice ball, works well, needed to have a pro tighten it to the recommended foot lbs of torque(450#). most of us do not own tools this big....that cost me $5.00
Worked great. Built well
we received exceptional & professional service on this (our first) order
this is a great product ! you always have what i need. i will be shopping with you again. thanks
