Today we'll be taking a look at part number 63847. This is the Tow Ready hitch ball with the of 2 5/16 inch diameter and a medium shank, rated at 7500 pounds. The diameter of our shank is right at an inch, and the length of our shank is 2 1/8 long. This is going to fit ball mounts with a thickness of 3/8 of an inch to 7/8 of an inch. It has this nice strong finish which is going to help it stand up against the elements, and again it's rated at 7500 pounds. We'll go ahead and show you how it is installs. What you do is you take your ball mount and take your ball.
Slide it through the hole. Put on the lock washer and secure it with the knot. Now, you will want it to be sure to go and twerk it down to the manufacturer's recommendations. Once we would have that finger tight, what you do is you take your inch, secure it here at the holds. Take another inch and twerk it down to the specifications from the manufacturer.
Now, it's going to complete today's review of part number 63847, the hitch ball from Tow Ready. .

It's a hitch ball. If you are checking reviews for hitch balls I'm guessing you have had something catastrophic happen in your past. This did not have any such problems.
by: Mike R.05/19/2015
etrailer.com has the best customer service I have had the pleasure to work with in a very long time. Lets face it, everyone makes mistakes, but how you deal with those mistakes is what makes the difference. I have dealt with companies that did not take responsibility for their mistakes and it wound up costing me time and money. etrailer on the other hand quickly admitted their mistake and worked to correct the error with as little impact to me, the customer, as possible. I had a specific problem I was trying to address and I had been on several different sites looking for a solution. I was not finding what I needed. I saw some thing that may have worked for me on the etrailer site, but I needed more information then was available on their web site. So I called and got a Customer Service rep named Mike almost immediately. Mike took his time and answered my questions, and when it looked like the item I was looking at would not work for me, he looked though their inventory and found the exact item I needed to solve my problem. When I looked up the part # on the web, to view the part and see if it was what I was looking for, I found it was well documented and even had the one dimension that I needed to verify whether or not it would work for me, when most other sites did not provide that information. It was a great experience and I finally found what I needed. Thanks Mike! Then when my part arrived, I was impressed with the packaging. This heavy metal stuff was packaged better then a lot of fragile stuff I have received from other companies. I opened the package I found they had accidentally shipped one wrong part. The part number on the part did not match my order but it was basically the same part, but a slightly different size for the shank ( I can see where this would have been an easy mistake to make). I called and again had a great experience with their customer service (Katie). She answered the phone quickly and politely and when I explained that I got the wrong part, she apologized for the error and offered to make it right. They would send the correct part along with a prepaid label to return the wrong one. I am very pleased with all my dealings with etrailer and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. The ball mount and ball I got solved my problem by providing something I was not able to locate elsewhere, and the prices were good as well.

I am very satisfied with my purchases. They continue to perform as needed.

All three items were great I especially The locking pin.
by: Pen09/03/2015
I was so impressed with how easy it was to make the purchase of my trailer hitch and wiring kit, and it was so much cheaper than my local trailer hitch people were charging. The YouTube videos made the attachment process much easier. Because I was nervous about whether or not I was ordering all the right parts online, I called eTrailer, and a nice person went through my order with me. Turns out the ball I bought was 2" and I should have bought a 1-7/8 ball. That was really my fault, but I wish the sales clerk had mentioned I needed to check that. Still, for an absolute novice at this kind of stuff, the entire experience was great, and I can wholeheartedly recommend eTrailer to any other novices out there who want to add a hitch to their vehicles!
by: Dale08/03/2018
My trailer has cut through some of the chrome but the ball is holding up very well. We do not grease this one as we have with some in the past due to pulling it out and carrying it around a lot as we switch out sizes of hitches in the receiver for different trailers. Using a 10K hydraulic trailer on this ball and there are no signs of real wear on the ball itself.
by: Chuck03/24/2018
Recommendation by etrailer was perfect.
Easy to install
Trailer pulls with no sway, wandering
Or porpoising.
Take the recommendation and go with it.
They know what they are doing.

This ball fit perfectly on the hitch. The camper hooks up to it very easily.
by: Eric B.07/23/2011
I recently ordered a new Curt receiver hitch, ball, and a 4 inch drop receiver to put on a 2001 Gmc Sierra 1500. The truck had an old hitch on it for the last 10 years and couldn`t even get the receiver out. It had a closed end which always got rusted up so I went for a new receiver hitch. The worst part was getting the old hitch off. The new one bolted right up perfectly and shipping was a day earlier than expected. Great company, great service, great price, need I say anymore. If you need trailer hitch parts this is the place to go.
by: Roland P04/03/2019
I just bought a new trailer that is 7 feet longer than my last and heavier and I now have a truck instead of an SUV so I needed to get a new weight distribution hinge with sway control. etrailer had all the best brands at the best price and delivery was fast. Unfortunately that's all I can comment on so far. I'm not picking up the new trailer till mid April, so I can't comment on how well it works or show pictures. I'll update later.
by: Donald C.01/11/2016
After purchasing a trailer hitch for my Nissan Xterra, I found finding the right ball at local shops difficult. I returned to etrailer's site, found the balls and hitch pin I needed, and received everything in just five days.
by: Evan04/21/2023
Thank you for handling/completing this order
by: Dennis04/10/2013
Ordering on line was a breeze -- everything was explained in the descriptions and the photos were clear. I received the product quickly and I appreciated the post-sale communication to let me know the status of my order. I was impressed by the smooth welds and the finish on both the ball and the mount. I expect they will give me many years of care-free use. Thanks!
PS No photos yet -- we pick up our trailer next week and I'll snap a few then and get one off to you!

when I needed to supply my Tow Trucks with hitch balls I turned to etrailer because locally I could not get this price and the amount I needed in a timely fashion.
by: Dave 11/21/2019
Well made and the finish is very nice. The threads are smooth and there are wrench flats on the ball side, makes tightening the nut easier. It should be noted that the load rating on this one is 7500 lbs, due to the one inch shank. A good value at Etrailer.
by: Richard 04/01/2023
Item is exactly as it is describe and in good condition when I received it.

- Recommended Weight Distribution System for 2016 Flagstaff 425D Travel TrailerWhen looking for a weight distribution system you want to take the loaded tongue weight as well as any cargo behind the rear axle and have that total tongue weight ideally fall in the middle of the range for the WD system. My recommendation for your weight distribution system is the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion # RP66558. This system uses friction material similar to automotive brake pads to assist with controlling trailer sway. Then you will...
view full answer... - Can Weight Distribution be Used With a 2006 Honda PilotAs long as the trailer hitch on your 2006 Honda Pilot is rated for weight distribution (WD), like the etrailer.com # e98851, then you can use it. We just have to make sure that you choose one that is best rated for your towing application. When looking into purchasing a WD system you want to find one with a Tongue Weight (TW) range that the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your towing setup falls in the middle of. To find the TTW of your towing setup you will need to add the TW of your fully...

The frame brackets on the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System part # 66557 can be positioned between 25" - 32" back from center of coupler. This will then allow a minimum of 3" between the end of the friction pad and the end of the spring bar which will be needed to ensure that the spring bar does not fall out when turning. If you take a look at the attached install instructions this will then give you all of the info that you need...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution and Brake Controller for Towing Pop-Up Camper with 2006 GMC EnvoyThere are a few primary rules of thumb to determine if a weight distribution (W/D) system is necessary. If the fully loaded and ready to tow weight of the camper is more than half the weight of the tow vehicle of if the rear of the vehicle squats more than a few inches when the camper is hitched to your Envoy, using a weight distribution system would be highly recommended. Also, take a look at the hitch on your vehicle. The hitch will typically have a sticker stating the towing and the...
view full answer... - The Best Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Brake Controller for a 2013 Honda CR-VIf you will be towing any trailers that have electric brakes then you will need to add a 7-Way trailer connector and a brake controller in order to activate the brakes. Starting with a trailer hitch we have Class I, II, and III hitches available for your 2013 Honda CR-V. The most popular option is the Curt Class III hitch # C13119. But, even though this hitch is rated for 350 pounds tongue weight and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight, you will need to consult the vehicle owners manual...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Receiver for 2015 Ford Escape to Allow Use of Lift-Gate SensorThe Curt Class III hitch # C13186 as well as all others that fit your 2015 Ford Escape will block the central lift gate sensors, leaving active only the sensors to either side of vehicle near the exhaust pipes. No hitch for your Escape avoids this and we do not have a relocation kit for the sensors. At least one hitch maker is investigating this possibility but no products/kits are available yet. You'll still be able to operate the auto lift gate by triggering one of the side sensors. To...

Please refer to the linked photo. This item has 500-lbs tongue weight capacity for the receiver and 750-lbs for the ball mount part you'll use to tow. Please note that when mounting an accessory in this receiver, your hitch's tongue weight capacity will be reduced by 50 percent. For a hitch ball you can use # 19260 for a 1-7/8-inch, # 63845 for a 2-inch or # 63847 for a...

- Class III Trailer Hitch Availability for 2016 Volvo XC90The 2016 Volvo XC90 is part of the car's second generation, along with the 2014 and 2015 model years. For this vehicle we offer Curt Class III hitch # C13233. If used for non-trailer loads like a bike rack the hitch must be supported with a strap # 18050 per Curt warranty requirements. For a ball mount you can use # C45030 and either 2-inch hitch ball # 63845 or 2-5/16-inch ball # 63847. For a hitch lock use part # e98880. For a wiring harness you can use # C56285 from Curt.

view full answer... - Is Weight Distribution Recommended for a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Towing a Jay Feather HybridWeight distribution is recommended any time a trailer exceeds 50 percent of the tow vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or if your vehicle sags. Sway control would be a good idea as well, but may not be necessary if you are not experiencing sway issues. Before choosing a weight distribution system, be sure to check your trailer hitch to make sure it is rated for use with weight distribution system. If it is a factory hitch, the information should be listed in the owners manual,...

The capacity only goes up to 400 pounds when towing a trailer and using weight distribution. So for hitch mounted accessories the hitch tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds it what you will need to go by. If the combined weight of the bike and carrier is over 350 pounds then you will not be able to carry the bike on the Jeep with a hitch mounted carrier. You would instead need to put...

- How Much of a Trailer Hitch Will Be Visible on a 2010 Hyundai Santa FeFor any of the available trailer hitches for a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe, including Draw-Tite Hitch, # 75684, the receiver opening and part of the cross tubing will be visible beneath the vehicle. This is because the required attachment points on the vehicle require that type of design. I have included a link to the installation details for this hitch. If you plan on doing some towing, the recommended ball mount is # C45010 along with a pin and clip # PC3 for use with ball # 19260 (1-7/8 inch...

- W/D System for 16 Ft 2003 Sun Valley Roadrunner Travel Trailer Towed by 2001 Nissan FrontierIdeally, the tongue weight of your trailer would fall into the center of the effective range of the weight distribution system you choose. Instead of using the dry weight, we use the fully-loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer to determine which W/D system to use. The weight of anything carried in the truck bed behind the rear axle also needs to be considered as tongue weight. You can use a scale at a truck stop to determine your actual tongue weight by following the procedures...

An install video and article with installation tips are included for you. The recommended ball mount for use with your hitch is # C45030 and with it you can use hitch lock # e98880 to secure it.

The only thing to consider is the depth of your bumper is greater than the typical step bumper. I've attached a photo to assist. This will put your trailer hitch receiver under your bumper, so I recommend an extended length ball mount like # BM20. Then you can use a 2 inch ball like # A-90 or 2-5/16 inch ball like...

However, it has not been tested so I cannot guarantee that it will fit. It is also not listed in the vehicle fits in the instructions which I have linked for you.

view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for Triple Axle Toy Hauler with 1,700 Lb Tongue WeightThe Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW2000 is what I recommend for a toy hauler trailer with 1,700 lb tongue weight. That said, this system does utilize a 2-1/2" shank which will be needed due to the heavy tongue weight. The Blue Ox SwayPro is an excellent system, one of the best on the market with integrated sway control. Please note, you'll also need the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball part # 63847.

With this carrier there is a chance of contact between the carrier and the boat when making turns. The carrier will stick out from the back of the vehicle and could interfere. I...
view full answer... - Recommended Fixed Ball Mount With 4 to 4-3/4 Inch Rise With At Least 7500 lb CapacityFor your fixed ball mount with at 4 to 4-3/4 inch rise, I recommend the Curt Dual Length Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 4-1/2" Rise, 5-3/4" Drop - 7,500 lbs # C45240. This ball mount will also need a hitch ball like # 63845 for a 2 inch option or # 63847 for a 2-5/16 inch option. I've linked a page to your option for 7500 lbs with that 4 inch or more rise.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount For 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver With 2-5/16 Inch Hitch BallYour best option will be to get the Curt Dual Length Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2-3/8" Rise, 3-5/8" Drop - 7,500 lbs, # C45230, and the # PC3, and have a local shop help you install the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball # 63847. I don't have anything that fits all of those requirements exactly that is pre-installed except for an adjustable ball mount like the Curt Adjustable Ball Mount, # C45900. We have some options in that category I've linked for you.

For your ball mount, I recommend the MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount # MT70068 to give you the bumper clearance and then recommend hitch ball # 63845 for a 2 inch ball or # 63847 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.
