Today we'll be reviewing part number 63059. This is the Pintle Hook Mount from Tow-Ready. The Pintle Hook Mount slides into a 2-inch by 2-inch trailer hitch receiver to provide a good mounting location for a Pintle hook. It's going to feature a nice solid shank for added strength. This is made from a steel construction with a powder-coat finish, so it is going to stand up really well against rust and corrosion. This portion here is going to be the portion that slides into your 2-inch by 2-inch hitch. You're going to slide it in until your pin holes align up with one another and then you'll need to install the hitch pin and clip or a hitch pin and lock, and those items are going to be sold separately.
This is going to offer a capacity of 12,000 pounds with a maximum tounge weight of 1,200 pounds. It is designed to fit a 2-inch by 2-inch trailer hitch receiver. If we take a measurement of the shank length, measuring from the center of the hitch pin hole to the front of the mounting plate, that's going to give us a measurement of 11 and 3/8 of an inch. If we measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of our shank, that's going to give us a measurement of 3 and 1/4 of an inch. Here at the front, our plate is going to measure 7 1/2 inches tall by 5 inches wide. If we measure the whole spacing horizontally from center on center, it's going to give us a measurement of 3 and 3/8 of an inch and then vertically, center on center, it's going to measure an inch and 3/4. You're going to have four sets of holes.
The hole diameters are going to measure 17/32 of an inch. Another measurement, real quick, is from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the brace, and I'm going to measure to the bottom of the weld, and that measurement's going to give us about 7 inches to this point here. You can use this in either position, whether it's with the brace on top or if you need to install it in this position, either one would be fine. It's really simple to attach a Pintle hook to. All you have to do is take your Pintle hook, and these are going to be sold separately, and then you just have to line it up with the set of holes that you want to use, place all your hardware through and then secure it with the lock washer and the nut on the back of the bolt. It's also a really simple installation into the hitch. The shank is going to slide in and then you've just got to line up your pin holes.
Then you'll need to secure it using the hitch pin and clip or a hitch pin and lock. For our demonstration today I'm using the standard 5/8-inch pin and clip. It's going to found on our website using part number PC3. Once you have it secured inside your hitch, all you need to do is make your connection and you'll be set to go. That's going to do it for our review of part number 63059. This is the Pintle Hook Mount from Tow-Ready.

Great ball mount
It worked out great would definitely buy fro you guys for all my trailer needs.
Can't get a more heavy duty receiver hitch. SOLID !!!! Fast delivery also.
No complaints with product or Etrailer.
Strong and sturdy has worked well so far
Excellent product
good
Everything it was advertised to be
Bought this for my 2014 Jeep Rubicon to tow an M416 military trailer. The hitch gave me the exact platform I needed to clear the spare tire (with 1" of vertical space to spare) . . . and keep my trailer level. Also added the Curt Pintle Hook - Bolt On - 10,000 lbs - C48205 and again, the hitch allows the top of the pintle (when closed) to clear the tire. Both items I bought came expertly packaged in a stout box, quickly and with free shipping. etrailer rocked it!
The ball mount as arrived, did not fit my receiver in the truck. Yes, it is 2x2 inch but the corners are not rounded like they should be. I had to use the file and to file 4 corners of the shank section which slides into my truck hitch receiver. It did not take much time to do it but it would be nice if the Etrailer contacts the manufacturer so that they can make required minor change.
I am very happy with a quick shipment of these items and great packaging of these heavy items. I would highly recommend the Etrailer to anybody who needs good parts for the trailer at a good price and for a very quick deliver.
The drop hitch mount is a well built strong unit with the dimensions that we needed. The dimensions between the pin hole and the back brace allowed us to use it in the up position if need. The adjustable mount holes allows for leveling on different trailers with pintle ring, no problem. The video was extremely helpful in deciding if this unit was what we were after. Will share pictures after Santa comes! Thanks.
I received my trailer hitch pintle hook mount as ordered. Although I have not used it yet, it appears to be very well constructed and finished. etrailer.com shipped it very quickly and maintained e-mail contact with me through delivery. I am extremely impressed with their focus on customer service and I will be ordering from them again.
Pintle Hitch PartseTrailer had the best selection, and pricing that I could find for this extra long pintle hitch mount & hook. Works great on my Explorer. With free shipping, it cost less to order it from them than buying it at a local retailer. And delivery was blazing fast. I ordered on Tuesday, and had my hitch on Thursday.
Patrick, I would like to thank your team once again for recieving the adjustable hitch earlier than expected. She will be working on a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 cummins. What a thing of beauty? paired with the pintle combo. The packaging was excellent for the given weight of pintle combo, adjustable solid hitch and Bulldog stainless hitch lock, great combination. Your staff is second to none. Period. We will be doing buisness in near future again.
Nice quality and works perfect to adjust the height of a pintle hook.
This was a great buy, no complaints here. I used it to pull out a stuck food truck, the welds we’re done right
Quality welds. Good paint. Accurate hol es.
Works great, solid mounting.
This is a high quality product that I purchased for my former military trailer. The trailer has a pintle/lunette arrangement and sits higher than my trailer hitch. My present pintle hitch could not be adjusted to compensate for that change so I purchased this mount. I just unbolted by pintle and bolted it on this mount. It works great and I'm very happy with it. Very rugged.
Great hitch! Put it right to work. Awsome fast shipping. Will order again.
Your Co. made it easy to order. Web site was great showed pictures and info was helpful. You had just what I needed and order was here at my site on time. Customer follow up good and helped track my order.
Product is exactly what is shown, solid shank pintle hook mount. 7-5/8" shank lenght was perfect for my 1-ton pickup, other's I've bought in the past were unnecessarily longer.
Good product. Now need one like this that is a reciever for a 2" ball. Needed to replace the pintel hitch that came on the utility body ,bolt on to body as the p hitch was!
This is a VERY heavy duty, well-built item. Everything is solid steel including the square receiver tube. I bought it to use in the upright position to raise my pintle hitch a bit higher so my M105A2 military trailer rides more level. Works great!
