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 21,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball.
Features:
Specs:
Note: To avoid the Tow & Stow hitting steep driveways or curbs, we recommend at least 11" of clearance between the ground and the lowest point of the drop hitch, as seen above.
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.

About the hitch I think it is wonderful. Here in California we have a stupid law that doesnt allow you to leave your hitch ball in when not in service.About etrailer the service is great and the staff is very helpfull.
Best hitch I ever pull with
Best hitch you can possibly buy! Solid
Fast shipping and great customer service. Product is well built and perfect for serious towing.
etrailer shocked me with their customer service. The B & W trailer hitch I ordered was out of stock. Within 10 minutes of placing my order at 10:00PM an employee contacted me to make sure I knew it wouldn’t be back in stock until the following week. And also took the time to add links to two different B & W hitches that are similar in case I needed it immediately. Unfortunately that kind of customer service isn’t expected anymore, it really made me feel good. I run several trailers for my business and they earned my business from now on.
As for the product itself, exactly as expected. Price was right. And no more swapping between 2” and 2 5/16” hitches. My shines will also appreciate this hitch when walking behind my pickup in the dark!
I received the mount yesterday, greased the pins and installed on my 2017 F350 Powerstroke FX4. The quality is certainly impressive and the powdercoating is pristine. Even the stickers are stuck on straight! I am very happy with the overall fit and finish - this is how I would want my product to look if I was B&W. The thought of installing/uninstalling a ball mount every time I needed to pull a trailer loses its appeal when they are rarely where you need them or where you think they are. I researched a number of options - cushion mounts, etc. - and there are only a handful of 3" ball mounts out there right now. I didn't want to have to worry about the factory adapter sleaves in my receiver either. This addresses all of those concerns perfectly. It's out of the way when I am not using it and right there if I need it. Frankly, I cannot imagine a better solution to the problem. Yeah, it's a big hitch despite being the smallest offering in the 3" category, but I don't anticipate handling it too often. The only downside I see is that there are no drawbar mounts or silencers offered for the 3" version and there do not seem to be any locking pin options to replace the 3 stainless pins that are just held on with pin clips. I am hopeful no one uses my mount to scavenge for missing parts on their own mount. The locking pins would need to be 5/8" diameter with a span of no less than 4 5/8".
Fast shipping product as described! Hitch seems to be well built.
Very positive experience from start to delivery!
Thanx
This is the second B&W I have purchased. I use it to haul a lot of different equipment. It is very easy to use, and it shows no signs of wear.
I owned a high end machine shop for my whole life and was impressed with the hitch you sent. Is well made and design is very good. Glad I found you online and the service was excellent.
Hitch arrived as scheduled. Excellent product, exactly as advertised. Normally tow a fifth wheel and had great confidence in B&W. Need to tow a utility trailer and this is perfect!
I needed a ball mount for my 3" reciever. I found what I needed at etrailer and for the best price! Thanks.
Looks great in any position! Hopefully get an update after hooking up my trailer.
I needed a drop hitch and I wanted to get rid of the two sleeves that rattled and made it hard to line up the pin holes. This took care of both, and I have a heavy-duty ball mount that I will never wear out. I run all B&W products, it is top of the line equipment and E-tailer is a great company to deal with.
Best hitch I have purchased
As always etrailer came thru with a great product, outstanding customer service, timely shipping with great pricing. They are my go to for trailer parts.
Just received the hitch. So far, so good! Will tow with it next week!
As with any B&W product it’s great. Also think it’s great that etrailer reached out after a year for a review and not the next week when you have no clue how something truly performs.
This hitch is very heavy duty and provides great pulling for all of our different trailers no matter the load.
Extremely disappointed. This is supposed to be a top notch ball mount and the packaging was HORRIBLE! I had to clean the thing up from top to bottom before I even thought about mounting it to my 2021 E450 Super Duty. I chose black to match my blacked out truck and now I need to paint the thing.

You mentioned you needed to clean the ball mount and I wanted to ask a few questions. Would you be able to send pictures of the ball mount? What was on the ball mount that it needed to cleaned?

Unfortunately I could not stand it and cleaned it immediately. The whole contraption was covered in dust as if it had been on a shelf for years. I didnt get it spotless but I doubt pictures would pick up whats left. Thank you for caring.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you.
Best hitch you can buy for the 2017+ F350’s. No more sleeves, no more rattling hitch. Best hitch I’ve had.
Great hitch with the added feature of storing when not in use. This storing feature allows the hitch to serve as a bump stop to keeps cars from going under your truck (when they are texting and driving).
Fast shipping, exactly as described.
I have been purchasing from Etrailer for years. From small parts to axels and tires, Always polite and courteous on the phone if I call with a question.
The hitch is just as sleek as advertised when folded back. And with a 21K tow capacity its hard to believe it can be so compact from the heavy hitches I used to have.
This is the second item I have ordered from etrailer. The first was a FW hitch. Both times, the process has been smooth and easy and the delivery was fast! Great online sales experience. Will buy here again!
