B and W Ball Mounts Review - 2012 Ford F-150- Video

B and W  Ball Mounts Review - 2012 Ford F-150

Today on this 2012 Ford F-150 we're going to be test-fitting the B & W Tow & Stow, 3-ball ball mount for 2" hitches with a 7" drop and a 7-1/2" rise, rated for 10,000 pounds, part number BWTS10049B. We already have this installed on our vehicle, and the first thing I'd like to point out is this pin and clip that we have attached to the 2" hitch with, does not come with the ball mount. You can find it on our website though, it's part number PC3. Obviously, one of the advantages to this product is the fact that we can use three different ball mounts to accommodate different loads and different trailers that you may have. To do this, you can switch it out by pulling the pin and clip here. Right now we have it in the 2" ball position. Pull the pin and clip, you simply rotate it, and at this point we'll be at the 1-7/8" ball. more
