Overview

Built for towing setups that need flexibility, this reversible ball mount can be used in either a rise or drop position to help match the trailer to the vehicle. It fits a 2" receiver and is rated for Class III use with a 5,000-lb. capacity, making it suitable for a range of hauling tasks. The patented X-Mount design is made to channel water away from the receiver opening, and the integrated lockrails allow hitch ball installation with a single wrench. It offers a straightforward, practical option for hunters and outdoorsmen who move gear, trailers, or equipment and want a mount that adapts to different towing heights.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • This is a hitch ball mount accessory rather than a complete towing setup, so it still requires a compatible 2" receiver and the appropriate trailer ball.
  • The reversible rise/drop design adds flexibility, but the usable height is limited to the stated 8" drop or 6.75" rise.
  • The 5,000-lb. capacity is specific to this Class III mount and should be matched carefully to the trailer and towing setup.
  • The patented X-Mount design is intended to channel water away from the receiver opening, but it does not eliminate the need for regular inspection and maintenance.
