Today we're going to take a look at the Reese Titan Ball Mount for 2-1/2 Inch Receivers, number RP45322. This is a solid one piece forged construction.

Trailer hitch-heads up-it will not fit a Ford Super Duty factory installed trailer hitch so know that coming in.It has a three inch drop measurement from the top of the shank down to the top of the platform. Flip that over and that turns into a one and a half inch rise-same thing, top of the shank to top of the ball mount to get that measurement. The hitch ball size-right here is a one and a quarter inch diameter.Taking a look at some measurements; from the center of the pin hole to the center of the ball hole here that is ten inches. more
