Ball Mount to Tow Trailer With Clevis Hitch
Question:
Could you use a clevis hitch where the ball hitch goes or thats not what its made for?
asked by: Robert A
Helpful Expert Reply:
We do have some options for you to tow a trailer with a clevis mount but the Buyers Products Adjustable Tri-Ball Mount # 3371802225 that you referenced doesn't have provisions for that.
Instead you can either use the Convert-A-Ball # CAB-6W which comes with 3 different hitch ball sizes plus the clevis or the Curt # C45008 which has 2 hitch balls and the clevis but you need a shank like part # C17100 to mount it to for adjustability.
Attached are some review videos for you to check out.
