Easily stow the ball and mounting platform on this heavy-duty, dual-ball ball mount beneath your hitch for a sleek look when you are done towing. Tow up to 7,500 lbs with the 2" ball or 10,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball.

Note:
The B&W Tow & Stow adjustable ball mount lets you tow a variety of trailers with different tongue heights. Having both a 2" ball and a 2-5/16" ball allows for even more versatility, making this the ultimate go-to ball mount if you own multiple trailers.
To switch the hitch ball, simply remove the pin holding the balls in place and rotate the entire block that the balls are mounted on until the ball you want to use is on top. Then replace the pin to secure the block in place.
Adjusting the height of the ball is just as easy. Remove the pins holding the ball mount platform in place and slide the platform up or down along the shank to the desired position. Once you have found the correct height, reinsert the pins and replace the clips.
When you're not towing, you can flip the ball mount platform around and stow it beneath your hitch so that you won't bang your shins. Just remove the pins to slide the ball platform down along the channel and up the back side so that the hitch balls face towards your vehicle. Then replace the pins.
The Tow & Stow ball mount features a channel that runs along both sides of the shank. This channel not only allows you to slide the ball mount platform up and down to adjust the ball height, but it also prevents removal of the platform when the ball mount is installed, which will help prevent theft of your trailer.
A slot is cut into the adjustment channel near the top of the shank. To remove the ball mount platform from the shank you will need to remove the entire ball mount from your hitch. Then remove the pins that hold the platform in place. Flip the platform around to the stowed position on the rear of the shank, and then slide it up until the center pin lines up with the slot in the shank. Pull the platform out towards the rear of the shank until the pin pops out of the adjustment channel.
When the Tow & Stow is secured in your hitch receiver, you will not be able to remove the ball mount platform. This is because the slot in the shank is positioned in such a way that the collar on your hitch will block the pin on the platform from being able to leave the channel. Even if the pins holding the ball mount platform in place are removed, the platform will still be confined to this channel. So, as long as a hitch lock is used to secure the entire ball mount in your hitch receiver, and a coupler lock is used to prevent your trailer's coupler from being disengaged from the ball, your trailer will be secure.

Easily stow the ball and mounting platform on this heavy-duty, dual-ball ball mount beneath your hitch for a sleek look when you are done towing. Tow up to 7,500 lbs with the 2" ball or 10,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball.Really well made. All parts are machined. The fit and finish is very nice. It easily transforms from the usable position to a tucked away position. It's more than what I though I purchased
With this hitch there is no excuse for not having your trailer attached correctly for towing. It is very easy to adjust to make sure your trailer tongue height is correct and your tow vehicle and trailer operate correctly. I have 2 trailers and this was a game changer. I see people everyday with trailers and many of them have the tongue to high or to low for trailering safely. If you tow a lot and tow more than one trailer this solves the height and ball size with just one hitch. They are made exceptionally well and worth the money. If you don't have one, you need one.
I purchased the B&W 3" drop hitch from trailer a couple of years ago, and have been very happy with it.
I just bought the 5.5 rise B & B to accommodate a new boat trailer and also a shorter utility trailer that I tow.
For the past year, the B&W Tow and Stow trailer hitch has worked great, and has the strength and durability to haul our equipment through the freeways and mountains of the California roadways with ease. I tow a trailer rig for pressure washing that consist of a 300-gal water tank, heater, and other accessories, for a total max weight of about 4,500lbs. The adjustable height feature is great and the dual ball features gives you more flexibility that will allow you to match up with several types of trailer configurations. A great investment for our business and I highly recommend it as a satisfied customer.
Service was fast, less than a week to get the hitch. Great looking hitch.
I dont have a question, but I do have some input that I discovered after I ordered the BandW Tow and Stow hitch. My original concern was that the hitchs ball head swing arm as BandW calls it could be removed from the shank. There is a review from another customer that said the hitchs ball head could not be removed, so I ordered it based off of their observation.
I saw the experts answer here: http://www.etrailer.com/question-112214.html, and it also eased some of my fears about the hitch being stolen.
Once I received the hitch I could tell that theft is not a concern. In the pamphlet that accompanied the hitch there is an advertisement for a Receiver Lock, which as we know, will lock the shank of the hitch to the receiver. However, it goes on to say that as long as the pin is in the first shank hole when the hitch is locked, the swing arm cannot be removed. This is because there is a channel on the back of the hitch that allows the swing arm to be removed is blocked when the hitch is flush with the receiver hitch see the attached picture.
To summarize, you dont have to worry about the swing arm ball head being removed. A simple receiver lock will keep the hitch safe.
I LOVE this hitch. It makes my life noticeably easier and my shins love it as well.
ONE YEAR OUT>
This hitch is SOLID, easy to use and so far appears to be very well made. My only comment and not worth removing a star is the holes in the receiver do not align perfectly with my truck. A little wiggle and in the pin go's so it is all good.
Shipping cost was free and shipping timeline was great!! Ordered for a Christmas present and had within a week! B&W products have always been top of the line, I can’t imagine this one would be any different. Bonus I love supporting other company in the midwest!
Another great product from B&W. I have put this ball mount to work. Having two ball sizes is very convenient for towing different types of trailers. The 10000 lb capacity gives me a sense of safety and confidence for the loads I tow.
I pull several trailers, recently adding a 20 ft enclosed to the list. Finally decided to get this adjustable hitch so I don’t have to carry different drops, ball size, etc.
This hitch seems strong and well made. Haven’t hooked it to anything yet, but when I do, I’m sure it’s going to do exactly what I intended for it to do.
etrailer has always given good service, along with quality products!
Buy it. These hitches are great. etrailer is the best place for anything trailer related. Just get on their site and shop. They also have some of the best informational/tutorial videos and writen postings.
B&W just makes a great product no matter what it is. This is no different. I have two other tow and stow and love the ease of changing heights and ball configurations.
Really nice product. Well made. Great finish. Eliminates my need for 3 different receivers as well as the shin buster when I left them in. I didn’t need the 1-7/8” ball that many products offer with the triple ball and was pleased I could order only with the 2 and 2-5/16 ball. My boat trailer and my utility trailer are 2” but different drops and my car trailer is a 2-5/16”. Works great. Wish I had it years ago.
First, thanks for the fast shipping. Second, this hitch is just what i needed to tow my 24ft enclosed car hauler. It is stout weighing in at 26 pounds! I like that it folds back under the receiver when not in use.
Excellent product, this is my second one to buy. I’ve had a B&w hitch on my 2011 gmc z71 for 6 years and bought one for my wife’s 2017 GMC Yukon. I’ve never had a problem with these hitches at all.
Joanne K. of “etrailer Customer Service” exceeded my expectations making sure I received my new BWTow & Stow hitch quickly. “Thank you “”Joanne and to etrailer for going the extra mile providing the best customer service I have received in a long time.”
Excellent fit and finish. Unit is stout and veery well made. Still looks great one year out (truck lives in garage when not driven). Changing from one ball size to the next is easy and fast. Pin requires a small amount of lube every couple months to keep everything smooth and functions as good today as when new. Chrome finish on balls is holding up well.
I use the hitch couple times a week so I do not keep in the stowed position, however, the stowed position is very clean and would an excellent feature for those who tow infrequently.
Overall, very happy with this hitch. Much prefer this unit over storing and changing out the yoke as before.
The best thing since sliced bread. Love my B&W hitch.
It is a quality product. You get what you pay for.
I recently received this B&W Tow & Stow hitch, and it's one of the highest quality mechanical devices of this type I've ever seen. The components are all precision machined, welded and painted, and it fits and functions flawlessly. Also, I was quite impressed with the OEM packaging that fully protected it during shipment while being almost 100% recyclable. I needed a hitch that would work well with the EcoHitch hidden front bumper mount that I recently installed in my 2019 F250 to move our travel trailer out of and back into its tight parking space beside our garage, and this B&W unit fits perfectly with approximately 3/8” clearance from the front bumper face when installed. But I also wanted a hitch that would work (with a reducer) in the rear 2.5" receiver of my truck whenever I need to rent a small utility trailer. This adjustable hitch will definitely work great for these two jobs, as well as with the rear 2" receiver of our Jeep if I need to use it for similar duties at any time.
I really love the flexibility of this hitch. As a user of 3 different trailers that have different ball sizes and ride heights, this comes in very handy. With a pull of a few pins and a twist to change ball sizes, I'm off and running in no time at all. Thanks again for a quality hitch.
These are amazing...product and customer service are amazing. I would highly recommend a 5/8 hitch pin lock tho...we love etrailer
Seems very well made. Better design than I even expected. Very happy I purchased it.
Great product, quick delivery and a fair price... what more can ya ask for!?!
