Recommended Ball Mount for Level Trailer Towing with 2014 Honda Pilot
Question:
I have a 2014 Honda Pilot needing to tow a 2000 Yacht Club flatbed tilt trailer with 4foot X 8foot deck converted into a kayak trailer. What is the best ball mount to keep the trailer level when pulling?

Expert Reply:
If you have a 2 inch receiver on your 2014 Honda Pilot, then I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10038B. This ball mount has a 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball and is adjustable up to 10-1/2 inches total to ensure the proper fit for your trailer. You can use the mount either in the drop position which is most likely what you need, or you can invert it and put it in the rise position. The really nice aspect of this mount is not only the precision height adjustment to give you level trailer towing, but also the stowable ball that will give you a clean look and protect your shins when not in use. I've attached some videos to assist.
Finally, I also recommend the hitch lock # BX8858 to protect your investment by deterring theft.
There are also many fixed height options available if you prefer. I've attached an article to help you determine the height needed.
