Video Transcript for Review of Weigh Safe Built In Scale Hitch 2 Stainless Steel Balls 2 Inch Receiver - WS96ZR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Weigh Safe built-in scale hitch with two stainless steel balls for your two-inch hitch receiver. Now, this ball mount is going to slide into your two-inch hitch receiver, and it's going to give you a two inch and a 2 5/16 inch hitch ball, and they are going to be stainless steel. And this is going to give you a drop, a maximum drop in this orientation, of six inches. And then when you flip this over, you're gonna get a maximum rise of seven inches with incremental adjustment of one inch. So this is going to give you that adjustability so you can tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle.

Now, the gross towing weight when you're using the 5/16 inch hitch ball is going to be 12,500 pounds. When you use the two inch ball, it's gonna be 8,000 pounds. And the tongue weight is 1,500 pounds. Now, this does feature a tongue weight scale that's actually built into the ball mount platform, as you can see here. And this is gonna help you balance your trailer for safer towing.

This scale is going to let you know if your load needs to be adjusted before you tow, and it's very simple to use. This will automatically provide a measurement every time you couple your trailer. So this is going to be efficient and hassle-free. It's going to eliminate the need for separate or commercial scales. So it's a great feature that this hitch provides.

This also features a dual pin slider lock, which is going to make adjusting the height very simple. I'm gonna remove this included rubber cover here that's going to protect that key wave from dust and debris. You are going to get four keys here. They're all keyed alike, so one key will operate both the slider lock and the included hitch lock, which we'll talk about pretty soon here. But I'm gonna go ahead and insert one of these keys, turn it, and that's going to allow me to easily remove the dual pin here.

While I have this out, I wanted to point out that the pins are aluminum, the housing's aluminum, but our lock here is plated steel. So very durable, and it's gonna do a great job of resisting corrosion. So as you can see, this is going to slide right off just like that. And so adjusting this is going to be very easy. And then while I have this platform off, I do wanna show you how easy it is to swap the ball out as well. So I've got my two-inch ball right now, and inside here, there's a pin with a little ring. So I'm just gonna go ahead and pull this ring, and that's going to allow me to remove the pin just like that. And then all I need to do is pop out the two inch ball, slide in the 2 5/16 inch ball, and then make sure those holes are lined up there. And then that pin's gonna go right back in, and then you just wanna make sure that that ring is sitting flush. And then I'm gonna retrieve my shank here, and then I can just adjust this however I need it, and you'll be good to go with the 2 5/16 inch hitch ball. So I'm gonna slide this back in and lock that into place. And what I appreciate about this is it's very easy to adjust. So you're not gonna be struggling at the back of your truck trying to get this to adjust. It's not gonna be difficult, it's gonna be very easy, very simple. This hitch is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum, so this is going to give you superior strength and durability. The solid block construction is going to provide greater strength than some hollow steel options, but it's gonna maintain a light weight, and this is obviously going to be rust-proof for a clean finish that's going to stand the test of time. Now, I mentioned this locking hitch pin that's included, that's going to, of course, keep his mount securely attached to your vehicle, and this is gonna be very simple to use as well. So you got a cap here to protect that keyway. So I'm just gonna insert one of the keys here and unlock it just like that. Now, what I appreciate about this hitch lock is I don't need the key to lock this back into place. So I'm just gonna turn this again, remove the key, so the head is already locked. And so when I'm ready to lock this back up, all I have to do is push it in and then it's locked. So I really do like the convenience there. So again, you're gonna get four keys. All of them are keyed alike. They're gonna work interchangeably with the hitch pin lock or the dual pin slider lock. And just some measurements to give you, just so you have a good idea of the size, measuring from the center of the first hitch pin hole to the center of our ball, we're sitting right at about 8 1/2 inches. Moving over to the center of the second hitch pin hole, about 9 5/8 inches. And then from the center of the second hitch pin hole to the end of the shank, about 1 7/8 inches. This is V5 and J684 certified. And I think that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
