Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Brophy ball mount for two inch hitches. Has the 10 inch drop and a 7,500 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this is a nice, sturdy steel ball mount for two inch hitches, and it can be used in the drop position to fit your application. Total drop on this, which is measured from the ball platform to the top of the shank, you can see if we put a ruler on it, it's gonna be right at 10 inch drop.
Now, this ball mount will let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. And because this has such a large drop of 10 inches, it is designed for lifted trucks. This shank right here will slide into your vehicle's two inch hitch receiver. And the ball platform right up front here provides the mounting point for your hitch ball. Now, the hitch ball is not included.
That is sold separately. The ball hole diameter that the ball fits in is one inch. So, it is designed to work with hitch balls that have a one inch shank diameter, and the thickness of the ball platform is 3/4 of an inch. Now, this ball mount cannot be used in the rise position, and it cannot be use with hitch extenders. Also, one other note I do wanna mention, use of any ball mount like this that has a 10 inch drop does reduce the trailer hitch capacity by 1/3.
So, your towing capacity is limited to 2/3 of your lowest rated towing component, be it the vehicle, the hitch, the ball mount, or your hitch ball. This is a nice, sturdy steel construction. You can see it has the hollow shank. It is a corrosion resistant black powder coat finish. And when you do install this into your hitch receiver, it will require a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock to secure it.
Now, that is not included. We do sell those separately on our website, and they're usually listed on this product page as a related product. The pin hole diameter is 5/8 of an inch, so you do wanna make sure to use a pin and clip or hitch lock that is a 5/8 inch diameter pin. Now, the length, the length in a ball mount is always measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole. So, on this one, if we go from the center to the center of the ball hole, that is right at 11 1/8 inches. And then the distance from the center of this hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the gusset, you can see they put this gusset in there for extra support, so just to make sure you don't run into any fitment problems, the center to that, to the start of the gusset is about 3 3/4 inches. Now, this part is made in the USA. Again, the specs on this, it's designed to fit two inch by two inch trailer hitch receivers. Gross towing weight capacity is 7,500 pounds, and the tongue weight capacity is 750 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the Brophy ball mount for two inch hitches with the 10 inch drop and a 7,500 pound gross towing weight capacity..

Trailer Hitch Ball MountLove “etrailer” !! Always have what is ordered and send the item very timely. I always check with etrailer first as they are well stocked. Thank you etrailer.com!! Also George!
Great hitch. Just what I wanted. This will keep my utility trailer "on the level".
My 10 inch drop ball mount that I ordered was delivered on time and well packaged! I will order again from etrailer.com!
I ordered a 10 drop ball mount, a wheel chock to hold my motorcycle and a master lock ball lock to use when the trailer is parked. I am very happy with the purchase, the ball mount and the wheel chock have good looking welds and they are power coated, the security lock is polished stainless. I am real happy with my purchase. the sales person, ( Karen in this case ) was knowledgable on the products, I qualified for free shipping, was given an email and tracking number, so I knew at all times were my shipment was in route. The products were packages well with no damage and UPS did an outstanding job of meet their stated schedule for delivery, out standing. The purchase and delivery proves to me American Business can excel and they really did with my order.
The products I purchased are of good quality and the 10" drop ball mount was exactly as advertised. The only problem I have is with the amount of dimension information provided on your website for the sway control bracket that did not fit on the ball mount itself. Your website states that the ball mount is a class III mount and that the sway control bracket would fit on class III and class IV mounts when in fact it does not. Other than that I am satisfied with the quality, cost and delivery of my products.
This replaces an adjustable hitch that rattled, clattered, and banged so much it drove me crazy. I use this to pull small trailers with astronomical equipment in them, with the old hitch the trailers would swing side to side enough the items inside the trailer would shift position and rub on other items.
Got the help I needed (from Gwen) to identify and confirm my understanding of what I needed (receiver hitch with a 10 inch drop) and then placing the order. I was then very happy with the quick shipping and delivery. Although the estimated delivery was a week and a half later, I actually received the hitch only 2 days later.
I recently bought a new Subaru Ascent and it had a class three hitch and a high ground clearance as compared to my old Honda Pilot. I needed to drop the ball 10 inches to tow my boat. Found exactly what I needed at etrailer! The ball mount appears well made and sturdy, and quite a bit heavier than I expected. Looks like it will last forever!
Very impressed with etrailer. The product was in stock. They kept me informed every step of the way. When delivered (on time) the hitch and ball were in perfect condition. To top it off, etrailer sent me an email telling me the shipment was delivered on my porch. Best service I have gotten from internet shopping. This is the first review I have ever writtten - tells how impressed I was.
Great price and fast ship.Thanks
I have put this hitch through torture from pulling heavy loads to snatching and pulling friends out of bad situations . I can't bend or break this hitch , best money I ever spent .
Product is exactly what I ordered. If there is a concern about the gusset clearance to your hitch and the pin not lining up, mine clears with room to spare. Shipping was quick and another great eTrailer experience.
Shipped promptly and appears to be of excellent quality. Haven't towed with it yet but anticipate no problems. Got it to drop hitch 10" foot to tow a car dolly.
Etrailer had exactly what I needed and delivered shockingly fast. You've completely exceeded my expectations. I've already put in another order. Very well done!
Certainly a solid piece. The only class IV 10” drop there is out there.
Required for my low tilt up dolly on my class c Motorhome.
Product is great, and delivered exactly as described. etrailer.com did an excellent job with customer service. Communication was top notch. This was a customer service test for etrailer.com and they passed with flying colors. I will do business with them again.
Ball mount with 10 inch drop is great, but it arrived with half of it sticking out of the box. Just some minor scratches in the paint. Stronger packaging needed.
Product is just as advertised heavy duty, well made.Fast delivery and packaged well. Always great service from this outfit keep up the excellent service etrailer.
Product appears to be as advertised - very sturdy and well constructed. Also it arrived quickly with no delay to my doorstep. Packaged well. Will come back aftr I have had time to actually use this product but for now I am going with a review of 5 out of 5.
This 10" drop enables my 4WD Ram with 20 inch rims to hook up to my car hauler and have it be level. The order arrived on time.
Does exactly what I need it to. Have '06 explorer pulling a motor cycle trailer - have to keep it level and this did the trick
Great product. Very satisfied with purchase and delivery. Thank you for making shopping online a great experience.
I don't usually write reviews, but the people at etrailer were fast, professional, and caring. Thank you!
The hitch very good. But the packaging needs work it was falling out both ends of box
