I do have a couple options for you as the Pro Series Adjustable Pintle Hook Mounting Plate 63072 is only available for a 2" receiver with 14K weight capacity. We do have the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball # C45908. This is rated for up to 20,000lbs with either the ball or pintle mount and fits 2-1/2" or 3" lunette rings. The Lock Set # C23556 will allow you to secure this to your receiver.

If you prefer to have a more comfortable ride when towing you will want to use the Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount # 325-GH-1324. This adjustable ball mount uses rubber cords allowing some of the shock that is typically transferred from your trailer to the vehicle to be absorbed. It has a 2" ball rated for 16,000lbs and a 2-5/16" ball rated for 21,000lbs. The pintle hook lock can be used with the 2-5/16" ball and this also fits your 2-1/2" receiver without an adapter. The Lock Set # 34061651-D will allow you to secure this to your receiver.
