Slightly longer, so you can open your tailgate with a cargo trailer attached. Trailers with a tongue jack that is forward are problematic for tailgates...

I’m pleased with the product and how prompt the delivery was. However the packaging was insufficient and the packaging was torn open all over. Scuffing of the finish is a result and of little consequence due to the intended use. It’s a stinger w/ball for motorhome. May I suggest better packaging in the future



by:

I didn’t receive the ball mount. Only thing in the box was anti rattle device



by:

This is really nice. Beveled edges so it slips into receiver hitch so sweet. Beautiful welds heavy weight mount for my weigh safe ball. I bought a 10,000 lbs hitch and I wanted a draw bar with the same type rating. Now the only thing limiting my trailer capacity is my truck's ability to tow, not the hitch, bar or ball.



by:

I purchased a Ranch Hand rear bumper for my 2500HD but wanted to retain the use of a receiver hitch. The ball mount would need to extend 8" from the pin hole to even reach the edge of the bumper. This BM29 ball mount works out perfect. The welds look great and the finish is just fine. The only complaint I have is they gained a little length by moving the pin hole a little closer to the end shortening the insertion amount slightly. Not a big deal, it is just noticable next to the other mounts I have at the house.



by:

The products themselves I’m sure will do the job. I’m very disappointed in how they arrived. Poorly packaged, one piece of paper wrap did nothing. There was a hole in the box from the hitch not being wrapped up. There are chips in the powder coat.

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. I recommend touching up the affected areas with a rust resistant paint such as Rustoleum.



by:

Needed to extend my hitch due to tailgate needing to be open. E-Trailer had this one on hand for a very decent price. Easy order, and fast shipping. Thank YOu.



by:

Just bought a set of front steps for my boat, and needed some extra length on the ball mount.
This mount fits the bill at 13 1/4 long



by:

Perfect size for a 2004 Jeep Liberty with spare wheel on back. Very nice quality. I can now mount my trailer hassle free.



by:

BM20 Long Drawbar. Perfect for my 2005 Jeep Liberty. I no longer have to remove the spare to tow. Solved what was a major pain!



by:

Great for chassis cab trucks with long boxes.



by:

Gives me the extra 6" extension I need so that the rear liftgate on my van can open without hitting the trailer jack, or the spare tire which I carry on the trailer tongue.

This is a VERY solid piece, would easily handle far more than my 300lb tongue weight.
As usual etrailer delivered exactly as promised.

its been hung on the back for a year. I never take it off.All kinds of weather, including Hurricane Matthew, Totally bulletproof.I have only one complaint, I bang my shins into it once in a whilewhen loading stuff in the back. But thats me, not the hitch.In a year its pulled 3 different boats, 2 different trailersand, in a pinch, anchor point for the chain while felling a tree.

Great

This worked out perfectly. Had a flat bed put on one of our pickups, but the frame mounted hitch sat too far back from the new dock bumper. This ball mount moved it out just right so we didn't have to put a new receiver on the truck.

Holding up very well after a year.

I love this trailer hitch for my truck because it allows freedom to put tailgate up and down when we do equestrian camping. It has been a great purchase.

Great!



by:

This product allowed me to open my deck lid on the tow vehicle while hitched. I love it, was delivered promptly and is excellent quality, could not love it more!
Also increased capacity from 600/6000 to 1000/10000 lbs. while not needed I like the safety of the margin.

Could not be happier, great item.



by:

Excellent, heavy duty, well built. HOWEVER, the width of the lip where the ball mounts is over a 1/4" wider than standard. This means standard accessories such as stabilizers and backup guides will not be able to be used with this ball mount.

No change. I had to have a custom ball mount made because of the limitations of your product and the complete lack of anything else.



by:

Hard to find item. But extends trailer back enough to open tail gate without hitting jack crank. Was not available at Northern or other suppliers locally.

Product has worked out to exceed my expectations. In fact it makes my trailer easier to tow.



by:

I ordered the Dexter nev-er-adjust electric trailer brake and bearing kit's for my Aliner. The installation was easy thanks to your instructional video's. The delivery was fast and everything fit perfectly. I took one twelve hundred mile trip and had no issues. I also ordered the Brophy ball mount because it was long enough for me to drop my tailgate without hitting the hitch crank.

Thanks



by:

This was exactly what I was trying to find in various stores with no luck. Quality built, American made product. Gives me the little extra distance for turning and allows tailgate to drop without hitting trailer.

I love the hitch. However, the crime [chrome] has come off of the ball and it has rusted. The extended hitch has worked very well in towing and launching my boat.



by:

We got this so we could open our tailgate without having to unhitch the trailer. It works great! Product is good, service was fast... it made our trip to Alaska much happier (our dog needs the tailgate lowered so she can jump in and out for potty breaks). We still need to have the truck and trailer pretty much straight in line with each other... if there is too much angle left or right, we can't fully lower the tailgate. We drive a 2015 Ford F-150.



by:

I had never towed anything before and recently bought a small pop up camper. The Ball mount was to short for my 2011 Jeep Wrangler and I had to remove the spare tire each time to correctly hitch. This Ball mount is the perfect solution. Just the correct length to hitch up with out any more problems. Also better made and less expensive then the dealer sold me. By reading the questions asked by customers I was able to pick out the correct product. Great Web Site and Excellent service.



by:

Always have the products and ships immediately. Thank You



by:

This is exactly what I needed to get my hitch to extend past my spare tire on my Jeep Liberty. It could have been 2" longer, since the locking mechanism on the trailer is still tight to the spare. This was the best product that I could find to solve the problem.

  • Recommended Ball Mount and 2 Inch Trailer Ball for 2015 Toyota Tundra
    Given the parameters you mentioned, it sounds like the Curt # C45030 would be ideal. The ball mount measures 7-5/8 inches long, measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hole where the ball would install. The ball mount is for a 2 inch receiver, offers 2-1/4 inches of drop or 1 inch of rise. For a 2 inch ball, I'd recommend the # 63845. If you need a pin and clip, use # PC3 or # e98882 for a stainless steel locking hitch pin.

  • Recommended Extra-Long Ball Mount That Works With 2013 Honda Odyssey
    I see by the records that you have the Draw-Tite, part # 75270 for your Odyssey. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole and the back of the rear bumper is 6-1/2 inches. We do offer extra long ball mounts that are designed to fit a 2 inch receiver opening like the Brophy # BM20 that is 13-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. I have attached a helpful article that explains how to select the right ball mount you can check out. I have...

  • Can Longer Ball Mount Be Used Without Reducing Trailer Hitch Capacity On 2011 Ford Escape
    A longer ball mount is always a better option that using an extender for the reason you mentioned. Using an adapter reduces trailer hitch capacity by fifty percent. A ball mount like part # BM20 will give you 13-1/4 inches distance from center of hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. For a shorter ball mount that has 8-1/2 inches from center of hitch pin hole to center of ball mount hole I recommend part # D-26.

  • Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount part # D210 Recommendation for a Cargo Carrier and Boat Trailer
    I would not recommend you use a hitch extender plus a dual hitch adapter. Every time you use an adapter you cut the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent due to the increased leverage on the hitch and increased movement. I found the cargo carrier you are looking to use and it has a great deal of rise in the shank so you would not have to worry about trailer interference as long as your boat trailer doesn't have any vertical obstructions after the coupler. I would recommend you use the Curt...

  • Should Truck with Camper in Bed Have Ball Mount Behind Rear of Camper or Under
    To answer your first question about whether or not the pivot point needs to be beyond the rear bumper/camper of the vehicle when flat towing the answer would be yes. This allows changes in elevation like you mentioned to not cause you to risk hitting the tow bar on the bottom of the camper. You also have to consider that when you add length to a ball mount the movement of the ball mount is exaggerated around corners as well which means the angle will become more severe which also affects...

  • Recommended Extended Ball Mount for a 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver
    I have a solution for you but we do not have any extended length fixed ball mounts for 2-1/2" hitches. They're all pretty standard length. We do have an adjustable ball mount for a 2-1/2" hitch that has a distance of 16" from the hitch pin to the hitch ball. It is the Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount item # 325-GH-1324. This ball mount has a 21,000 lbs capacity and includes a 2" and a 2-5/16" hitch ball. It will also provide you with up to a 6" drop. I have linked a dimensional diagram below...

  • How to Measure to Choose a Ball Mount with the Right Rise or Drop to Tow a Trailer Level
    I can help you out with choosing a ball mount. You do want the trailer to be level when you tow it so there are some measurements needed to determine the drop or rise needed to tow the trailer level. First, measure from level ground up to the top of the receiver opening on your 2011 Ford F-150. Then use the trailer jack to level the boat and measure from level ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the hitch is taller than the coupler the difference between the two measurements is the...

  • Super Extra Long Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2012 Toyota RAV4
    I believe the correct ball mount for you to use would be the Brophy Ball Mount # BM20. This ball mount has a distance of 13-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the nearest part of the ball mount platform, and since the hitch on your 2012 Toyota RAV4 has a distance of 9.5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest point of the bumper I believe this ball mount would work well for you. This ball mount also has a rise of 2-3/4 inches, and if you get a...

  • Recommended Hitch Extender to Gain 12 Inches Clearance Between Tow Vehicle and Trailer
    I'm a bit confused by your question, I guess I don't quite understand why you'd need to use an adapter to tow a trailer. If you need the 13 or 14 inches of extra clearance, use the Curt # C45795 hitch extender. It would install into your 2-inch receiver, and you'd install your 2-inch ball mount in the other end. This set up CAN be used to tow a trailer, but because you're extending the length between the load and the receiver on the vehicle, the tongue weight capacity of your hitch will...

  • Options for Long Ball Mount for a 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
    You have two options, neither are ideal though. To get an extension 13 inches or more you are going to need to use a Titan Extension like part # RP45292. Only issue here is the minimum this extension this product can give is 24 inches, which may be too much. Then for a ball mount to go along with this extension you would want part # 4280 as this has a 2 inch drop like you requested. The other option you have would be a ball mount like part # AMSCV-2 which will fit your 2-1/2 inch hitch...

  • Extra Long Ball Mount Recommendation for a Jeep Liberty
    The brophy Ball Mount part # bm20 should work very well for you. This hitch measures 14-1/4 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole, will provide a 3/4 inch rise, and has a 10,000 lb total trailer weight and 1,00 lb tongue weight capacity.

  • Will the Brophy Ball Mount Part # BM20 Reduce Towing Capacity
    The Hidden Hitch Ball Mount part # BM20 has a 10,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) and 1,000 lb tongue weight (TW) rating. Your R-Pod trailer does not exceed either of these ratings therefore it will work well for you. The extended ball mount will be the weakest component in the system and will need to be the capacity you abide by. In regards to a weight distribution system, you would need to replace the shank that comes with the system for a longer option that will clear the tailgate...

  • Will the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch Fit With Limited Clearance Between Bumper and Hitch Receiver
    The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 is a great way to help stabilize the Brophy Ball Mount # BM20! If you have a limited amount of clearance between the bumper on your 2013 Ford F-150 Platinum and the top of your hitch receiver, then you can actually install the Quiet Hitch upside down so that the thicker material is on the underside. Since the U-Bolt is only 0.30" in diameter (about 5/16") this should be about the same as the collar on your trailer hitch. You can take some measurements...

  • Longer Ball Mount Needed to Prevent Trailer from Hitting Truck During Turns
    The only thing I can think of is to back the truck up to the trailer at the same angle as it was when it was hitting the trailer before. Then back up so that the trailer ball is 6 inches away from the coupler, and see if that is going to provide enough clearance. When using these extenders, keep in mind that your hitch capacity will be DECREASED BY 50 PERCENT, due to the additional leverage that will be exerted on the receiver by moving it out 6 inches. Perhaps a better solution would...

  • Will Adding a Longer Ball Mount to Towing Setup Make Trailer Easier to Back Up
    Going with a longer ball mount or a hitch extender will make backing up the trailer maybe slightly easier, but realistically it's not going to magically fix the issues you are having. The trailer will react a little bit slower when you turn the wheel of the vehicle as you are reversing it but probably not enough that you'll become considerably more confident backing up the trailer. Best advice is to try and line up the right angle you need to back up into while the vehicle is moving forward...

  • Will Extra Long Ball Mount Reduce Towing or Tongue Weight Capacity
    The Brophy # BM20 ball mount will not reduce your vehicle's towing capacity like an adapter or extender will. The ball mount's max towing capacity is 10,000 pounds and its max tongue weight is 1,000 pounds. You should check the capacity of your hitch and your 2005 Jeep Liberty for their max capacities because the lowest rated component will be what determines how much you can tow.

  • Ball Mount and Ball Recommendations for a 2010 Subaru Forester
    The recommended ball mount for your 2010 Subaru Forester is the Ball Mount # D-4, this is what I would recommend you get also. The Extra Long Ball Mount # BM20 that you referenced would most likely not be necessary, unless you have the need for a very long ball mount. You'll also need the Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3. Whichever ball mount you choose you should always stay under the towing capacities of the lowest rated component in your towing setup and go with the lowest rated component...

  • Choosing the Correct Ball Mount for a 2013 GMC Terrain to Tow a Small Utility Trailer
    When choosing a ball mount, the first thing to consider is the size of your trailer hitch receiver opening. Your Terrain will have either a 2 inch receiver opening or a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. You can find this by measuring the height and width of the receiver opening on your trailer hitch. After that, we will want to find the correct rise or drop needed to tow your trailer level. To do this, we will need two measurements. You will want to park your truck and trailer on level ground...

  • Using Extra-Long Ball Mount vs. Hitch Extension When Towing with Jeep That Has Rear Spare Tire
    When towing with a vehicle like your 2013 Jeep Wrangler that has a rear-door-mounted spare tire you will probably need either a hitch extension like the Curt # C45796 that you referenced, OR you may be able to use an extra-long ball mount, which is actually a preferable solution. There are a few advantages to using a long ball mount versus a separate hitch extension like # C45796. The first is towing capacity. Extensions cause a 50-percent loss in hitch weight capacity. The other advantage...

  • Weight Capacity of Brophy Ball Mount # BM20
    I cannot explain the contradictory information you found on the online retailer's site as the Brophy Ball Mount # BM20 that you referenced does indeed have the 10,000 lbs GTW and up to 1,000 lbs TW capacities as shown on the etrailer product page. I verified these specs with Brophy and they are also available on their website if you wish. With this ball mount you can use a hitch ball with a 1-inch shank diameter, such as the 2-5/16-inch Diameter # 63847 or the 1-7/8-inch Diameter # 19260.

    The # BM20 ballmount can be used in either the rise or drop position, whichever will place the ball at the proper height so your trailer is towed level.

On level ground with the trailer jacked up so that its level, measure from the bottom of the coupler to the ground. Then measure from the inside top of the receiver tube to the ground.
