Overview
Built for towing tasks that call for a 2" receiver setup, this reversible ball mount gives you the option of using either a rise or drop position to match the trailer and vehicle height. Its Class III rating and 5,000-lb. capacity make it a practical choice for hauling needs where a straightforward, no-frills hitch accessory is preferred. The X-Mount design is intended to direct moisture away from the receiver opening, helping reduce the chance of seizing and rust at the hitch point. Integrated lockrails also support single-wrench ball installation, adding convenience when setting up for the next tow.

- The 5,000-lb. capacity and Class III rating make it important to match this mount to the trailer and towing requirements, not just the hitch opening.
- Reversible rise/drop use adds flexibility, but you still need to choose the correct position for your specific trailer height and towing setup.
- The integrated lockrails are intended for single-wrench ball installation, which is convenient but still requires the appropriate ball and installation hardware.
