Why Does B&W Not Include More Pins For Their Pintle/Ball Combo?
Question:
Why 4 holes in unit and supply only 3 pins?
asked by: Larry
Expert Reply:
On the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball - 2" Hitches - 10,000 lbs/16,000 lbs # BWTS10056, the 4 holes in the unit on the adjustable face give you the most secure options when adjusting. They could include 5 pins and give you that added security, but the 2 pins on the shank and one on the pintle hook portion is enough for the weight capacity and function of the ball mount/pintle.
You can get additional pins if you like. They are Replacement Stainless Steel Pin and Clip for B&W Tow & Stow Ballmounts # BWTS35010.
I recommend using a hitch lock like # BX8858 to secure your investment.
