Video Transcript for Draw-Tite 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball Review
What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out this Draw-Tite Ball Mount ball. So this is gonna go onto your ball mount. It's gonna be a two and 5/16-inch. Let's check it out. All right, so you've already bought your ball mount, you're gonna have to get a ball separately in most cases.
So make sure you check your coupler on your trailer. It's gonna be a two and 5/16-inch ball, so that's gonna line up with the trailer we want to use. Now, you'll also want to check out and make sure you get the right diameter here on the shank. This is gonna be a one-inch diameter on the ball mount we're using today. So it's gonna fit in there just fine.
We drop that in place. It's gonna come with the lock nut, and the regular nut. Got the flat side, so it's easy to help tight down. Now I'm just gonna do it by hand today, because you wanna make sure that you torque this down the right specifications when you set yours up. But this also has the flats on the side for a wrench to help get this really tight.
Because you don't want it to go anywhere when you're going tow a trailer. The ball's gonna being made out of stainless steel, so you don't have to worry about leaving it out. If you leave it on the hitch all the time, the elements aren't gonna bother it. It will get scratched up a little bit when you put it in a coupler, but that's just usually what happens as you use these. With that being said, that's about it.
It's gonna be a good choice, if that's the size ball and the shank diameter you need for your ball mount and your trailer set up, it's gonna work great. I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out, and hope this helped.

The products look wonderful and the price, service on the phone when ordering was exceptional. I tried a local trailer guy on Grand Rapids and got no place and wasted 15 minutes on the phone.

This stainless ball will not rust and the trailer hitches up smoothly. I'm very happy with it

Awesome and will never rust! As described and looks good mounted on my Diversitec aluminum receiver! Fast shipping. If you have a custom truck. Stainless is the way to go!

Ball was great hitch was well made but very sloppy on the receiver
by: Brad H.07/11/2013
Finally, no more rusty pant legs after I accidentally bump into the hitch ball! Definitely worth the extra $$ for a stainless version.
by: Ralph Draffen10/26/2013
Ordering this product was easy and described perfectly. As of yet, I have not installed the ball. I must find the proper torque for use. I do find your product smooth and well made. I am sure I will have no problem with the ball.

Kimberly was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the product I was interested in purchasing. She patiently answered all of my questions and followed to let me know my item had shipped. Actually came 2 days earlier than expected b/c I making preparations for a race which helped tremendously!!!
by: David 11/27/2023
Fit great on 2020 Hyundai Sonata, had to make long cut in muffler heat shield, & panel on other side of trunk. Took about an hour to install & retrofit panels. Wiring the lights took a little longer, didn't want to mess up the interior. But with that said, this is my 4th hitch I've bought from this company. 2011 Camaro convertible, 2008 Cobalt, just don't stick your finger in a hole that is too small. LOL

by: Mark 10/10/2023
Everything that I have ordered and received from etrailer.com has been spot on excellent, and has lasted so far great. My new tow ball is pulling 3000 lbs of trailer with 6000 lbs of Kubota and done well.
by: Richard C.07/28/2016
I went from having a package delivered to my front doorstep, to hauling gear in no time with my latest order placed with etrailer.com.
Before I could go out and purchase a new kayak trailer, first I needed to obtain several products which were absolutely essential in regards to allowing me to actually go out and follow through with my impending buy. From etrailer.com, I purchased a Curt T-Connecter Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Flat Trailer Connection for my 2015 Subaru Forester, a 2" Curt Ball Mount, and a 1-7/8" Diameter and Medium Shank Hitch Ball.
I found ordering online from etrailer.com to be a breeze, with relatively minimum effort having to be put forth when doing so. Everything I needed was simple and easy to find, which overall made my shopping experience all the more better. Surprisingly after ordering, I was notified that my shipping option chosen had been upgraded, and that I would be receiving my goods sooner, rather than later. This was unexpected, though great news indeed!
Within days as promised, my package arrived and I was eager to get to work installing all three parts. The Ball Mount & Hitch Ball required the smallest amount of effort obviously which was good, especially more so, since I was really looking forward to the tackling the wiring harness installation foremost. Online, the specific product page for the wiring harness, featured a short video detailing the complete job from start-to-finish for those doing the work themselves. The video was clear, concise, and done in such a simple manner that success was pretty much guaranteed. I opted myself to Velcro the wiring harness converter to inside rear panel, instead of using the included two-sided adhesive. When finished, you would not believe how clean the entire job looked when completed. As though it was done by a true automotive professional!
Before I knew it, I was on the road, and with trailer in tow behind me off looking for some adventurous fun. Thanks etrailer.com!
I couldn't be more happy, and satisfied with my recent purchases from etrailer.com, than what I am. Dealing with the company has been a real pleasure from top to bottom. I would most certainly recommend them and their products to anyone I know.

- Is the Finish on the Tow Ready Trailer Hitch Ball # 63853 Shiny or DullI went out to the warehouse and pulled a Tow Ready Trailer Hitch Ball, # 63853, to check the finish on it. It is a polished stainless steel so it is shiny. I have added a picture I took of the ball so you can see. It is shiny enough to where if you look closely, you can see the reflection of the camera.

For that you will want to check out the help article that I attached that details how to do this. Once you figure out what you would need I attached a page that has all of the aluminum ball mounts we carry. You would want to select the amount of drop you would need from the filters and all of the correct ball mounts will be listed. You would want to use a stainless...

However, if you remove the tire, this hitch will work with your super charged edition. If you plan on doing some towing with your vehicle, I recommend adding a ball mount, hitch ball, and trailer wiring.

I have included a link to the installation details and a video installation below. You will also want to check your owners manual for your vehicle towing capacities. The...

I have included a link to the instructions below. Hitches do not come with a ball mount. So you might also be interested in Ball Mount # C45010, and a ball. For hitch balls you can use, # 19260 (1-7/8 inch diameter), # 63845 (2 inch diameter), or # 63853 (2-5/16 inch diameter) depending on your towing needs. I also recommend a Trailer...

All of the 2 inch hitches will require temporary lowering of the exhaust and the widening of a few holes on the frame using a drill (no new holes need to be drilled) to install the hitch.

view full answer... - Using a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Adapter Reduces Tongue Weight Capacity on a 2002 Mercury MountaineerThe use of any adapter or extension will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your 2002 Mercury Mountaineer by 50 percent. In this situation, you have to go with the lowest capacity, in this case it is the trailer hitch with the reduced tongue weight. Even if the adapter is rated for 6,000 pounds, you will only be able to tow as much as your hitch and vehicle will allow. To overcome this problem, I recommend installing a larger capacity hitch like the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75132....
view full answer... - Can a Trailer Hitch Be Detected by the Back Up Sensors on a 2009 Ford Escape HybridThe available hitches for your 2009 Ford Escape will all extend a little beyond the bumper, but not by much; only about 1 inch. What you can do to test the sensors ahead of time is to place something that extends about 1 inch from the bumper where the hitch would be. If the sensors pick it up, then there is a possibility they will sense the hitch. I would think it is unlikely since the distance is only 1 inch and a steep angle up to the sensors. Even if the hitch did trip the sensors...

The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # e98882 will work well because it is stainless steel to resist corrosion. The # DTBM5200 ball mount that you referenced has a ball hole shank diameter of 1-1/4", so you can use part # A-90 for a 2" ball or part # 63836 for a 2-5/16"...

First, you will need a hitch. There are several available but I recommend going with a Class III hitch rated for weight distribution because you never know what you might be towing in the future. I would go with Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75338. This is a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch, capable of 500 pounds tongue weight capacity and 5,000 pounds gross trailer weight.

Now, that does not necessarily mean something like a transmission cooler is a bad idea, as it will stop your Sienna from working quite so hard, but it is not necessary.
