Tow up to 8,000 lbs with supreme safety and the convenience of an adjustable 10" drop and 11" rise with the Rapid Hitch ball mount system. Includes zinc-plated steel ball combo (1-7/8" and 2"). Fits 2" hitches.Very pleased with product, looks awesome on my lifted 01 Ford Superduty F-350. This 10 inch drop allowed me to keep my trailer level when hauling my 4 wheeler. Just in time for opening day.
Product looks and feels great. Only reason it got a 4/5 is because a truck driver friend of mine told me that he had one and the shank wore down from rubbing on steel bc of the aluminum on steel receiver contact. I might rig up a thin steel collar for it to prevent any degradation down the road. Works great on my truck with 7 inches of lift and 35" tires. Buy the Andersen Stainless steel locking pins for it so it doesn't walk off. New pins have better corrosion resistance and are less easily picked by thieves than standard barrel locks, plus they match the look.
Great quality Ball Mount Kit. I had read review about not being able to mount it upward on the RAM2500 because the bumper was out by 1/2" too much. In my case it's about 1/8" off but my truck is very high (That's why I got the 10" kit) and I can't imagine ever using it in the upward position anyway.
It does rattle a lot but I think I can fix that with some thin rubber strips.
It shines so much that now the hitch attracts attention more than the truck, make sure you get the lock pins if you don't want to get it stolen...
This hitch is fantastic. The universal size works well with any vehicle. It is solid, sturdy, there’s no “give” when towing. It doesn’t waiver in quality and craftsmanship. The fact that it has an interchangeable ball works out perfectly. I would recommend this hitch to everyone I know.
George at etrailer got my order shipped the same day it was placed and I placed it in the late evening after dinner. The order arrived, on time, as scheduled. I am very pleased with my Andersen 10-inch drop trailer hitch, and want everyone to know what an "OUTSTANDING" service etrailer provided to me. I will certainly do business with etrailer again in the future, and I highly recommend etrailer for your towing needs.
Have not towed yet so can't speak about performance however hitch appears very solid. I can say that its very trick. Who doesn't love machined billet aluminum. I sprung for the locks as well since it's not exactly cheap. I will say that etrailer had the best price I could find on the web. Shipping was fast and free with great communication.
I really like the product!
I only wish I would have ordered the locking pins for it.
Really like the hitch still after 1 year, just wish I had purchased the locking bolts with it. Make me feel more secure
J have had more then tow hitch but this one is by far the best one.
Customer service was outstanding. The young lady on the phone was, quick, knowledgeable and answered all my questions.
So far so good, works great
just as described... would recommend to anyone...
I pay to receive the product in good condition, my hitch ended up being damaged, I don't know what type of packaging this was, they are supposedly a waoooo site, I ask for my return label and my refund, I
Sooooo....you sent me a product that was somehow put together backwards and I cannot take them apart somehow the ballhitch is stuck on the male portion backwards and defies gravity and doesn’t need a pin to stay on(becaue thier is no where to put the pin in cause it’s backwards
Works flawlessly. I was very excited the day I got home and my Rapid hitch was on the front porch. It came in nice box and was packaged very well. I opened it up and unpacked my rapid hitch and I was very impressed with the quality and precision of this hitch. All of the machining was PERFECT and everything fit together right. I put it in my truck right away. Going down the road with the trailer on and off there is absolutely no rattles, clunks, or jolts. I also love how everything is aluminum or stainless steel, NO RUST. I wish I could've gotten the greaseless model but my boat is too heavy. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with locking pins. With a hitch this expensive I really wish it came with them. Do yourself a favor and order them with your rapid hitch so you don't have to pay for shipping in the future. Other than that great product and I believe it will outlast me.
This is a really nice hitch if you tow a variety of trailers or need to get your ball up high as I need to do on my 1999 F450. I needed the ball up high to level my Jeep tow bar, so this is just the ticket for me. This hitch is made in the USA, which is great too. eTrailer.com service is excellent and their communication perfect. They obviously care about their customers and the product.
Only 2 things prevent a 5 star rating for this very pricey hitch. IMO, for the money, the manufacturer should also include: 1. a lock pin for the adjustable hitch ball. 2: an anti-rattle attachment.
I ordered my AM3405 and was amazed how quickly the etrailer team responded with not only my order confirmation but the fantastic follow up when it was shipped and delivered. I highly recommend etrailer and will order from them again.
The product showed up in great shape and I am very happy with the quality. One recommendation would be to order two of the locking pins. One for the receiver and one to lock the ball mount to the unit. You will see by my picture I resolved that issue with a pad lock but the locking pin would have been better.
What do i like about this hitch…i tow trailers requiring both size balls andmits easy to flip this around and adjust tow height. Its lightweight and easy to take on and off when needed. The built in locks keep the hitch on my truck. I like it and recommend it.
I really like this hitch. Very good quality. Only short fall is that it should include the locks due you can't buy them in any store due to the length is longer than the normal pin lock. I recommend that should be sold as a combo. picture has the locks required
I purchased this to replace a Fastway Flash E Series Ball mount that I purchased and returned from another online seller that did not provide enough clearance from my rear bumper in the rise position. My vehicle really needed the extra 5/8ths of an inch of length on the shank of the Rapid Hitch. Clearance was not a problem in the drop position; but with a receiver that's 18-inches off the ground, I need to use the rise position more frequently than many. The other thing I noticed is that this ball mount is feels more substantial than the one from Fastway.
In use, I prefer this to the Andersen EZ hitch I had been borrowing. It looks really cool. It has 5 adjustment positions rather than four and bit more adjustability in either direction. Plus, it still fits in easily in the storage area underneath the floor of my SUV. And did I say it looks really cool. I hated to put grease on the ball before I went to hook up the trailer. Also, I plan to get the lock set. It's looks great on my SUV and seems likely to disappear overnight and look great on someone else's vehicle.
Fast, helpful, prompt service on great and helpful trailering products.
Thank You
Haven't pulled anything with it yet, but overall it appears to be a quality product. There is over .0500 play in the hitch when mounted in the receiver. That will probably make a lot of noise. The adjustment part of the hitch seems pretty good.
Very pleased with hitch. Only issue was some cosmetic damage to hitch shank likely caused during shipping resulting in a small dent in the shank. Damage doesn't affect operation or durability but is unfortunately visible on top of shank. Packaging should be better due to weight of item and potential for shipping damage.
Hello The hitch works great as viewed in the enclosed pictures. If inverted it hits the bumper, of my Dodge 2500. The section that goes into the receiver is about 1/2" too short and hits the bumper. I have not tried it on my other vehicle to see if this is a problem. Kind Regards Leon D
A VERY nice piece that will set your mind at ease. Easy to adjust height.
The ONLY thing I wish is there was an option to have different sized ball combinations. I mainly use 2" and NEVER use a 2 5/16"(or whatever the larger size is) and would prefer to have a 1 7/8" on the other side.
Do you have a question about this Trailer Hitch Ball Mount?

After a year of use I love it. I hear too many problems from friends with other hitches and Im very satisfied with this purchase. It has stayed clean and shiny with just normal car washing and it still adjusts up and down smoothly. Still plenty sturdy and no more wiggle on the shaft then it had when I got it. Highly recommend getting the upgraded stainless steel locking pins from Andersen. Both locks are matching for each pin and far more secure than the standard barrel locks.
