by:

Very happy with this ball mount - provides just the amount of drop we required for a level tow of our GeoPro travel trailer by our RAM2500. Plus, the extra length not only allows a tighter turning radius, but also allows us to lower the truck tailgate without having to detach the trailer. Huge improvement on all accounts for us compared to our prior setup. The product is well built and I'm confident will provide us years of good use.



by:

Your packaging it's lousy, package arrived with a receiver size hole in the end of box . Guess what the box was empty . This is the second time I have had problems with your company !

Teresa, I am sorry that the ball mount arrived missing. I will have a replacement sent right out to you!



by:

Excellent service fron etrailers - but that is true of all my experiences! I would not hesitate to buy again anytime from this company. Plus lots of information on trailers and associated fittings, bike racks, etc. Thanks!



by:

This worked great. Enabled us to put the tailgate down on our truck without it hitting the trailer tongue jack. Changes the angle a bit for backing up, but we got used to it.



by:

Ordered this hitch and it worked perfect for what I needed just bought a teardrop trailer. Couldn't open up the tailgate on my Jeep so I ordered this extended hitch and I brought the ball out past my spare tire and the tailgate opens up now I have no problems. And I looked everywhere couldn't find one of this quality and at this price very reasonable the other ones hundreds of dollars didn't want to spend that much.



by:

This part is excellent and etrailer service is too…Nothing but good from these people.



by:

Installed on 2022 Bronco. Large spare tire was an issue for hauling boat trailer. Works perfectly.



by:

This is a huge difference maker for us. I can open the tailgate of our truck with the trailer still attached, and helps minimize any body damage if my backing up is not good.



by:

This was the longest hitch ball mount I could find anywhere. I used it with a short extension for my 2021 T G so that I could open the back doors without hitting the trailer wheel crank. With my new trailer, Intact Flyer Discover, I don't need the extension and can still open the doors. Works well.



by:

Works great. Range Rover dealer wanted to charge me over $800 for a solution. I don’t remember what I paid for this but it was less than $100 and works great.



by:

Needed to extend the hitch on my side by side. This did just the trick. Now I have room to crank the tongue jack on trailers I want to hook up to. As always, Etrailer did an outstanding job on getting the part to me in a timely manner.

Working just fine.Thanks for asking.



by:

I pull a 20 ft. Travel trailer and had jackknifed backing up twice. The truck taillight creased the trailer. So I bought the extra long drawbar and have not had any problems since. Now I can also open the tailgate without hitting the tounge Jack.



by:

This was a gift, the recipient was very excited to receive it, she will now be able to tow the ski boat behind her jeep, she couldn't before due to the spare tire interfering with her previous hitch.



by:

Always exactly what I ordered and prompt delivery. Will continue to order from trailer for quality service and parts.



by:

Great hitch ball mount!
Excellent construction,
easy to install
etrailer shipped the product very quickly and as promised



by:

Attaching the trailer was easy and provided me a higher comfort level when backing up to center the ball under the hitch because I had more room between the coupling and my Tundra. Additionally this product provided me the ability to open my Tundra bed door while my trailer is attached. Lastly it provides me a greater turning radius when backing up. I would recommend this product.



by:

If you have a trailer with a short tongue, like I do, this Hidden Hitch Extra Long Ball Mount is a big help! I bought a 2021 Nissan Frontier, which has a taller tailgate than the Tacoma I previously used, and found that when the tailgate was down so I could see to back my trailer to load my boat, that I only had about 2 to 2-1/2 inches of clearance between the tailgate and the winch mounting post, and I would damage the tailgate and/or winch post when making a tight turn. I went online to find a longer hitch mount, and found this one. Not only does it solve the problem, but the longer hitch mount actually makes the trailer easier to back than a regular mount! The only negative I have to say is that the hole drilled in the long mount for the pin to go through to secure it to the hitch receiver was drilled offcenter, and as a result it is not flush in the receiver and tilts the longer hitch mount at a slight sideways angle. This results in the trailer hitch catching on the ball when I go to raise it, and you it takes the force of continuing to raise the trailer to get the hitch off the ball.

After a year the Hidden Hitch Extra Long Ball Mount is still the best option for me. It also makes it easier to back the trailer into my garage. Originally I needed a longer ball mount due to tailgate being too close to winch post, but pleasantly found out the longer hitch makes backing up easier.



by:

This extended ball mount made it a lot easier to maneuver a 16 foot Airstream. The stock ball mount was pretty stubby and didn't allow for much wiggle room with backing up. And of course the added bonus is I can lower my truck tailgate while hitched to the camper that will come in handy when I install a truck tonneau cover.



by:


Just what I needed for my 2020 GMC
Sierra tailgate clearance. Worked out great.

Robert

Still working out great



by:

feels solid, just what I wanted. quick and at a fair price



by:

Ball mount appears well constructed I believe it will do the job.



by:

I have a 2004 RAV 4 and I was trying to get my ball away from the spare tire carrier. I think I probably would have been fine with the next size (shorter) ball mount and still got the job done. The good news is that with the 2 inch drop, I can open the rear door and it just rubs the seal at the bottom of the door a little bit, but I can still easily open the door. I did not want to drop the ball any lower, So this works out well for my rig.



by:

This is exactly the product I needed to extend the hitch on my tent trailer. Now I can open the tailgate without unhitching the trailer.



by:

Some pictures of the hitch in place. Works very well. Hauled a few trailers already with no issues. Very strong ball mount regarding its long length.



by:

This mount was just long enough for my bike rack to mount to and not interfere with the trailer wheel crank. The service from etrailer.com was excellent. Got the mount to me in record time and packaged to avoid any possible damage. I will definitely return for my other trailer needs to etrailer.com.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System or Extended Ball Mount for Clearing a Tail Gate
    Yeah, there are no TorkLift SuperHitches available for a 2023 Jeep Gladiator or any Jeep. Those are the heaviest duty bumper pull hitches and are reserved for large trucks with the highest towing capacities. You'll want to look into a weight distribution system with an extended shank if your Gladiator's hitch is rated for one. If you have a hitch that mounts underneath your frame like the Curt item # C74DR you can use a weight distribution system. For a 550 lbs tongue weight, I recommend...

  • How to Carry a Bike Rack and Tow a Trailer At the Back of a Tow Vehicle
    What you're wanting to do can be accomplished, but we'll need to get you some different equipment because you never want to use 2 adapters, and from my experience all of the dual receiver options using the style you're showing in your diagram, similar to the Malone # MPG544, will actually reduce the weight ratings by 50% instead of 25%. (plus each accessory that reduces the weight rating will be reducing the original weight rating of the hitch - not the "new" weight rating achieved by using...

  • Recommended Extended Ball Mount for a Boat Trailer
    Sounds like you need an extended ball mount. The Hidden Hitch Ball Mount item # 80232 you were looking at would definitely give you plenty of turning clearance. It measures 15-3/4" from center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole and has a 6,000 lbs capacity. Depending on your coupler size you will either need a 2" Hitch Ball item # 63845 or a 2-5/16" hitch ball item # 63847.

    The Hidden Hitch ball mount part # 80232 is a longer ball mount that fits 2 inch hitches. It is 15-3/4 inches from the pin hole to the ball hole center. This is a Class III ball mount but there aren't any in Class IV.

  • Extra Long Ball Mount Recommendation for 2" Hitch Receiver and 2-5/16" Hitch Ball
    It sounds like you're needing a longer ball mount like the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount # 80232. This measures 15-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hole where the hitch ball is installed which should be pretty close to 12" longer than a standard ball mount. This can be used as a 3/4" rise or 2" drop depending on what you're needing. For a ball mount you can use the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # 63847 and then I also recommend using an anti-rattle hitch pin like the Let's...

  • How Can Longer Ball Mount Not Reduce Hitch Weight Capacity
    Technically any additional length is going to increase leverage on the trailer hitch. But there isn't an exact standard length ball mount so going super technical on how much the force multiplied when the ball mount is beyond a certain length is just not something our manufacturers do. So when you combine that with fact that most ball mounts are not that much longer than others the tongue weight capacity of a vehicle is not reduced when using a longer ball mount like the part # 80232....

  • Can I Use an Extended Ball Mount w/ a Hitch Extender?
    Yes, you can use the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount item # 80232 with the Draw-Tite Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 18" Long item # HE18. Using this hitch extender will however reduce the capacity of the hitch on your 1999 F-350 by 50%. I recommend using the Buyers Products Hitch Extender w/ Step - 2" Hitch - 18" Long item # 3371804017. It is the same length of 18" but will only reduce your hitches capacity by 1/3.

  • Can Patriot Hitches Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Be Used With Hitch Extender
    I do have a solution, but I would not recommend using a hitch extender with the Patriot Hitches Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver # PH67SR. This receiver won't reduce the capacity of your hitch, but an extender will reduce the capacity by 50%. You're also going to be adding 3 parts to your hitch when you include the ball mount. Doing so will likely give you a lot of unwanted movement and a less than pleasant towing experience. Instead, I recommend using an extended ball mount like the Hidden...

    It would be too dangerous to use the Curt Extender # C45796 with a dual receiver like that as it would put too much movement on all of the different parts and extenders like this cut your tongue weight in half so your Tacoma would be overloaded.

    I have a possible option for you, but due to adding another point an extension will reduce your vehicle's capacities by 50%, so you'd only be able to towing something with no more than 250lbs of tongue weight. Instead your only option would be using an extra long ball mount such as the # 80232 which measures 15-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole, which should be quite a bit longer than your current ball mount.

This is typically around 7-8" longer than most ball mounts.

This will help to distribute the weight more evenly across your 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe as well as help you keep the trailer tracking straight with the addition of sway control. This particular hitch is rated for 200-600lbs of tongue weight and a trailer up to 6,000lbs. The Extended Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600 will help to move the hitch back...

    I can certainly point you in the right direction. Unfortunately they do not list the coupler height of your trailer online. The hitch on your 2019 GMC Canyon should be right at 19" provided everything is stock. Most trailers have a coupler height around 17", so a 2" drop ball mount like the # 80232 should get you pretty close to level. The best way is to go to the trailer, and with the trailer sitting level, measure from the center of the coupler to the ground. While we do want to be perfectly...
