Specs:
This unique mount from Gen-Y Hitch includes a ball mount that can be easily positioned in one of the 4 stacked receivers that sits along the vertical shank of the unit. This dual-ball mount lets you tow a trailer with a 2" ball coupler or a 2-5/16" ball coupler.
Also included is a pintle lock, which can be inserted into the receiver directly above the ball mount to create a pintle hitch for hooking up a trailer with a lunette ring. Unlike other adjustable pintle hooks on the market, there are no nuts and bolts to remove and retorque when you change the positioning of this hitch. Just move the ball mount and pintle lock up or down to get the proper height and secure them in place with the included pins.
With the 4 stacked receivers, not only do you have the ability to adjust the height of the included ball mount, but you also have the ability to add various other hitch-mounted accessories. Insert a bike rack or cargo carrier. Mount a spare tire carrier. Use a tow bar to flat tow your vehicle. Or just add a fun hitch cover.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Gen-Y Adjustable Two Ball Mount with the pintle lock, has a five inch drop or rise for a two inch hitch. This does have a 10,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this is an adjustable ball mount that'll let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The solid shank right here is what'll slide into your two inch hitch receiver on your vehicle, and then up front here, you have either a 2 5/16 diameter hitch ball, or if you flip it over, you can use a two inch diameter hitch ball, and that'll provide the connection points for your trailer coupler. Now, on this part, it does also include this pintle lock accessory right here, and when this is paired with the larger 2 5/16 ball, it'll provide a connection point for a lunette ring coupler.
And if you're not familiar with the lunette ring coupler, what that is is some of the larger trailers have a large lunette ring on the coupler, and it's designed to drop over the ball and be able to tow that way, and the main thing, is you want that lunette ring to stay on the ball, and that's where this pintle lock will come into play. Basically, what you'll do is go ahead and remove the clip and the pin, slide that out of the way, and then you can drop your lunette ring over the ball. Once it gets completely over the ball, then just slide your pintle lock all the way forward, match the hole up to the pin, slide it through, and then clip it, and once you do that, it'll lock that into place, and your lunette ring will be underneath there to be able to stay on it, won't come undetached from the ball. And then when you're not using it, if you're just gonna tow with a regular coupler, not a lunette ring coupler, you just push this out of the way, and there's a second hole that this will go through, and then clip it there, and that'll lock it in the out of the way stored position, now, you can use it for just a regular trailer coupler. If you noticed, it has the four stacked receivers here.
These are two inch size receivers that'll accept the included ball mount and pintle lock as well as other hitch-mounted accessories. Does come with the two 5/8 diameter stainless steel pins and clips, these are included to secure the ball mount to the shank, the pintle lock to the shank. And what's really unique about this, I like these twist clips they use, 'cause they're so much easier than a standard clip on a pin. These, you just twist them, they'll come right off, and then when you go to install them, you just put push it and they'll twist on and lock into place, so makes it very simple and easy to remove the clips from the pins. If you noticed up front here, has an adjustable height that'll let you tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle, works well if you have a lifted truck, so this ball mount basically can be lowered or raised to match your application.
Now, if you put the ball mount in the lowest position like this is in the drop position now, if you drop it all the way to the very bottom, it'll give you a maximum drop of five inches. If you flip the shank over into the rise position and then put that shank in the highest position, that'll get you a maximum rise of five inches. But basically, to show you how you do that is you just pop this clip off, pop this pin out, and then you'll see you'll be able to slide out your dual ball mount just like that, and then again, we mentioned, you can put it in whatever height you need, and again, if you need to flip it over to the two inch size, just turn it over just like that, slide it back in, line the hole up, put your pin through, go ahead and clip it, and just like that, gives you the two inch hitch ball. So very simple to flip it over to what ball size you need and to what height you need. This is a heavy-duty steel construction, has a nice zinc primer and then they coat it with a durable silver vein epoxy powder coat to help resist corrosion.
Now, when you do install this into your hitch receiver, you can notice there's two hitch holes here, hitch pin holes, the hitch pin and clip or the hitch lock, those are not included, those we do sell separately, and those are used to secure this to the hitch receiver. Now, these two hitch pin holes, the diameter on there is 5/8 of an inch. This is SAE J684 certified, it is named the USA. Again, the application, fits two inch by two inch trailer hitch receivers, gross towing weight capacity is 10,000 pounds, tongue weight capacity, 1,500 pounds. And the last thing I do wanna mention is this ball mount has many different dimensions on it, so I do recommend for you to go to the product page of this part number, and what you'll see is a picture of this part and it'll have all the dimensions laid out for you, so that you can verify any dimension that you might need for your application. But that should do it for the review on this Gen-Y Adjustable Two Ball Mount with the pintle lock, the five inch drop or rise for a two inch inch, and has a 10,000 pound gross towing weight capacity..

Insert this heavy-duty mount into your 2" hitch to get 4 stacked 2" receivers for mounting the included 2" ball, 2-5/16" ball, pintle hook, or other hitch-mounted accessory. Tongue weight is 1,500 lbs.
This is a very functional and versatile hitch. Incidentally, the extended horizontal length allows me to drop my tailgate and not hit my trailer jack. The only theoretical downside is the increased torque on the receiver because of the horizontal extension inherent with the hitch design, as well as the massive weight. these issues do not seem to be functionally relevant however. Pintle may come in handy someday. I would buy again.

After a year of hard use, 10 cross country trips from coast to coast towing everything from 40ft TT's to 16ft cargo haulers I am highly impressed and glad I purchased this hitch. I have had no failure from sheering pins, no sag or drooping at all. Handle the weight like a champ.

Review from a similar Versa-Ball Mount w Lock in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
This thing is a monster. I installed it on a chevy 2500 with a 6.5" lift and 37" tires. With 5 different height options I can not imagine any trailer i couldnt keep level. The best part is no more changing hitches just changing the hight. Also, the pintle adapter is an amazing addition too. It's so simple to use and works great. This hitch is expensive but totally worth it.

Great hitch, ball will loose the black paint. Need to apply lubricant before and after use for easy hitching.

I was looking at all the hitches on the market and after some comparisons I decided to go with Gen-Y. The reason being is their versatility 4in1 hitch. After receiving the hitch I can say it is very heavy duty and heavy!
Review from a similar Versa-Ball Mount w Lock in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I just installed the Gen-Y and its way better than my last one (much more stout). I put it on a 2011 f350 with a leveling kit on 35s and Im defiantly glad that I got one with the 7 inch drop. Im also going to be putting it on a Kubota M-120 to pull a 12ft box scraper.

No doubt it's "mega duty". Thing weighs 54 lbs. I don't know if its worth the money but I'd say its probably the best hitch you could get!

Bought this product from etrailer and was amazed at the high level of customer service and knowledge. The product arrived ahead of schedule and was packaged well. This product is made well and I’m glad it’s a product of the USA.
Review from a similar Versa-Ball Mount w Lock in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Its stout and the fit is good but it will rust as the coating flakes off easily.
Jenny N - 04/26/2022Review from a similar Versa-Ball Mount w Lock in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Received my hitch as described and within a reasonable amount of time.Have used it several times and it performs admirably. Recommend it for your towing needs. The only thing I would change is to have a cable attached to the clip and thru pin. I attached a stainless steel wire to prevent the two from being lost or misplaced. J

Industrial! The last hitch you'll ever need. I have owned it a year in Northern Michigan and the finish is still like new even with our road salt. I especially like the locking clips for the ball pin.

Heavy Duty and works very well
Review from a similar Versa-Ball Mount w Lock in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
WOW. That is pretty much the word that sums it up. WOW. Not only because it weighs roughly 60 pounds, but she is pretty to look at to boot. Aside from that - the construction on this thing in a monster. Overbuilt by Hercules to pull down a mountain kind of over built. Exactly how we expect anything truck related to be. You do not want failure at any point, ever. This takes your drop hitch to a whole new level. I have owned B&W and Bulletproof before - and while there is nothing wrong with them - I do not think I will ever use another brand again. This is as good as they come.
