Note:
The B&W Tow & Stow adjustable ball mount lets you tow a variety of trailers with different tongue heights. Having a 1-7/8" ball, 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.

Stow the ball and mounting platform on this tri-ball ball mount beneath your hitch for a sleek look when you are done towing. Tow up to 3,500 lbs with the 1-7/8" ball, 7,500 lbs with the 2" ball, or 10,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball.New buy but they seem to be well built. I like that the lock screws into the pin as opposed to the assembly that latches on (I’ve seen video where those can be forced off).
Las - 02/20/2022Item was described very well. Shipping was fast as well. The ease of changing the ball for the application i need, and stowing away when not needed make this hitch the only one I'll ever own.
Mark - 05/06/2021I bought this because I got tired of having to change hitches for my 3 trailers with 2 different size couplers. This hitch system appears to be very well made. It's got some weight to it and is very solid. Adjusting the height and ball size are both simple processes. Would highly recommend this.
Product arrived in a timely manner and was packaged as I expected. I’ve had B&W hitches in the past and this one is right in line with the ones I’ve had. It’s definitely worth it to spend the money on a B&W. It would be nice if they came up with a package to buy a locking hitch pin and dampener with it though.
I have owned this hitch for a little over 1 year now. It has never left my receiver on my F150. It has survived the IL winter without any rust forming or issues with the pins jamming. I do keep the pins well greased as well as a light coat on the tri-ball at all times. The adjustability is good for my applications and fits my 3 trailers great. I have little to no rattle from the hitch itself going down the road. Buy once, cry once when it comes to this hitch. You will not be disappointed. *One disclaimer, on this 3" drop, if you have an 2020 F150 like I do, you cannot rotate the ball when stowing to where the 1 7/8" ball isn't pointing towards the ground. There isn't enough space, even at the lowest setting, to get it to tuck up and not touch the frame. If ground clearance is an issue, I suggest going to a 5" drop to tuck the ball up.*
I definitely recommend this hitch I dont have to be switching hitches anymore for different high and ball size All I jave to do its rotete the ball and adjust the high easy to do And make my jod easier And Etrailer awsome customer service And fast shipping
Great product, but with the three-ball mount, when stowed, the center ball faces down. No issue, but it just looks a bit odd. A two-ball would eliminate that unless you really need all three.
Great set up! Stow away action is awesome, cleans up the back area of truck. Well built with minimal play in receiver hitch. Pins have almost not play which is great!
I was able to order my new BW Hitch and it fit perfect for my 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison. Very pleased with the ordering and delivery process and the price was cheaper than most places I checked. Thank you for your service and will order again in the future.
Its like a very heavy duty swiss army knife for towing. I had a straight tri-ball hitch that didn't allow height adjustment. I needed that ability, this hitch solved my problem. Great product, I wish I'd have caved in and bought this hitch years ago.
Love it. Very functional and productive for my needs.
Dwayne D - 01/06/2018Great quality and exactly as expected from B&W
Very satisfied with the b and w hitch and etrailer service.
Every ball on 1 hitch
The hitche is as convenient as I thought it would be. The pins fit nice and tight, no play whatsoever. The one thing I don't like is, I lose clearance on my back end. I actually bottomed out while leaving a customer's driveway.
My heavy order was packaged well and arrived not damage. I love the Tow and Stow hitch. It is compact, operates smoothly, and looks durable. I expect to get many years of use out of the hitch.
Fast shipment & good communication. The stow & tow hitch was exactly what I wanted for my truck. Really like the way you can flip it under & don’t bang your shins.
Perfect over all! I have had no problems so far. If you are looking at improving the product, the sleeve needs to be a bit thicker to fit tighter in the truck hitch.
I purchased the B&W from George at etrailer.com and after much research online I found the best deal. The shipping was super fast, and the product is absolutely top of the line. I have used this receiver a couple dozen times over the past year and I am impressed more and more every time I use it. From pulling a small 10' utility trailer to a 31' Center Console, this receiver makes it happen! Only downsize is I should have just gotten the 2 ball and not the Tri. I do not own anything that is 1 7/8" however if I ever need it I have it along with the 2" and 2 5/16". Great customer service and pleasure to do business with. I will buy more products form this company.
The product is fine, convenient, but, I live in Minnesota. I bought this one to replace the same hitch that I bought when I go the last truck. The stainless steel pins had corroded/rusted so tight to the hitch that even putting them into a 40T press could not break them loose. The stainless steel mushroomed, they did not break loose. Keep them lubricated or you will not be able to adjust up or down in a year or two. I replaced them on the new hitch with Grade 8 Hex Screws, and greased them on install. That way, if they get stuck, I can use an impact wrench to break them loose.
Excellent product. Solves so many problems for me with easy locking, folding storage to save the shins, and versatility with tongue height and trailer hitch ball size. After 40 years of hauling all types of trailers, this could be the last hitch I ever have to buy!!
Terry C - 09/16/2020Have not has any issues with this tow hitch. I have owned it for over a year and tow a concession trailer approx. 14 to 18 times a year. I would recommend this hitch to anyone looking for a great product that will stand up to the test of work & time. Also the height is adjustable so it makes it easy to raise an lower depending on what you are towing and if you scrap coming out of your driveway you can adjust it up to clear that as well.
Fantastic service
This is my second B&W. Need a bigger drop after lifting my truck. Love it as much as the first one I had for 5 years that my uncle is currently using now still. No pitting on the chrome or fading on the finish at all. I always spray WD40 on the ball I'm using before hooking up and wipe it clean after each use with some household de-greaser and a towel. I keep the pins greased so they function easier. The pin retainers though are loosing their finish but it doesn't bother me much.
1) because my needs are limited, the amount of drop available is fine for my needs. But, I think most people looking to spend this kind of money on a ball mount would be better off getting one of the models with more drop. 2) the ball mount is built like a brick shithouse (it weights a ton) and should provide years of outstanding performance. Everything is well built and tight tolerances are evident. Cons: the pins used to set the rise/drop and to switch balls are removable and easily stolen. Furthermore, the little cotter pins are fragile and likely to get lost. Simply put, there should be lockable pins available.
