Video Transcript for Draw-Tite 2-5/16 inch Chrome Hitch Ball Review
Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Draw-Tite trailer hitch ball. So with the hitch balls, one, we wanna make sure it's gonna work with our trailer. So look on your coupler and it's usually gonna tell you what size it is. So this one is 2 5/16, it's made of steel, has a nice chrome finish to it. One thing I would definitely add to this is grab a little bit of grease. We have it here at etrailer.
It's just gonna keep this thing from heating up and also starting to chip away at everything. So we want to keep it looking as nice as we can for as long as we can, and that grease is gonna help. So just add that to your cart. Also, this is gonna have a capacity of 7,500 pounds. So you wanna match it up with the correct ball mount, as you can see, 7,500 pounds, might as well piece them all together so we're not limiting ourselves from the start.
But another thing to think about is you're gonna need to get a ball mount. So the shank of this is gonna have a diameter of one inch, so you wanna find a ball mount that's gonna have that diameter of one inch, and this is about 2 1/8 inches long, meaning the shank. And what you need to know about that is just make sure that the plate that it's mounted to is gonna be in between 3/8 of an inch to 7/8 of an inch thick. We just wanna make sure that they're gonna get along, but these two right here are literally perfect for each other. There really isn't a whole lot when it comes to hitch balls, pretty much, if you wanted to upgrade, you can get one that's just made out of a solid machine steel, or if you needed to get a rise out of your ball mount, but you don't feel like grabbing a new one, there are also some that are a little bit taller, so the ball will give you an extra inch or two rise.
So that's something to kind of think about, but at the end of the day, I don't really need anything fancy. I don't even see it. It just gets underneath our coupler and we bring our trailers on our way, this gets the job done. And I think it's gonna be a great choice for you. And that'll do it for a look at the Draw-Tite 2 5/16 inch trailer ball..

This ball fit perfectly on the hitch. The camper hooks up to it very easily.

Easy to order , great product, fast shipping!
I have ordered several time and always the same great service

etrailer.com has the best customer service I have had the pleasure to work with in a very long time. Lets face it, everyone makes mistakes, but how you deal with those mistakes is what makes the difference. I have dealt with companies that did not take responsibility for their mistakes and it wound up costing me time and money. etrailer on the other hand quickly admitted their mistake and worked to correct the error with as little impact to me, the customer, as possible. I had a specific problem I was trying to address and I had been on several different sites looking for a solution. I was not finding what I needed. I saw some thing that may have worked for me on the etrailer site, but I needed more information then was available on their web site. So I called and got a Customer Service rep named Mike almost immediately. Mike took his time and answered my questions, and when it looked like the item I was looking at would not work for me, he looked though their inventory and found the exact item I needed to solve my problem. When I looked up the part # on the web, to view the part and see if it was what I was looking for, I found it was well documented and even had the one dimension that I needed to verify whether or not it would work for me, when most other sites did not provide that information. It was a great experience and I finally found what I needed. Thanks Mike! Then when my part arrived, I was impressed with the packaging. This heavy metal stuff was packaged better then a lot of fragile stuff I have received from other companies. I opened the package I found they had accidentally shipped one wrong part. The part number on the part did not match my order but it was basically the same part, but a slightly different size for the shank ( I can see where this would have been an easy mistake to make). I called and again had a great experience with their customer service (Katie). She answered the phone quickly and politely and when I explained that I got the wrong part, she apologized for the error and offered to make it right. They would send the correct part along with a prepaid label to return the wrong one. I am very pleased with all my dealings with etrailer and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. The ball mount and ball I got solved my problem by providing something I was not able to locate elsewhere, and the prices were good as well.

I am very satisfied with my purchases. They continue to perform as needed.
Mike R - 06/07/2016by: Pen09/03/2015
I was so impressed with how easy it was to make the purchase of my trailer hitch and wiring kit, and it was so much cheaper than my local trailer hitch people were charging. The YouTube videos made the attachment process much easier. Because I was nervous about whether or not I was ordering all the right parts online, I called eTrailer, and a nice person went through my order with me. Turns out the ball I bought was 2" and I should have bought a 1-7/8 ball. That was really my fault, but I wish the sales clerk had mentioned I needed to check that. Still, for an absolute novice at this kind of stuff, the entire experience was great, and I can wholeheartedly recommend eTrailer to any other novices out there who want to add a hitch to their vehicles!
by: Dale08/03/2018
My trailer has cut through some of the chrome but the ball is holding up very well. We do not grease this one as we have with some in the past due to pulling it out and carrying it around a lot as we switch out sizes of hitches in the receiver for different trailers. Using a 10K hydraulic trailer on this ball and there are no signs of real wear on the ball itself.
by: Chuck03/24/2018
Recommendation by etrailer was perfect.
Easy to install
Trailer pulls with no sway, wandering
Or porpoising.
Take the recommendation and go with it.
They know what they are doing.

Chuck C - 03/25/2019by: Eric B.07/23/2011
I recently ordered a new Curt receiver hitch, ball, and a 4 inch drop receiver to put on a 2001 Gmc Sierra 1500. The truck had an old hitch on it for the last 10 years and couldn`t even get the receiver out. It had a closed end which always got rusted up so I went for a new receiver hitch. The worst part was getting the old hitch off. The new one bolted right up perfectly and shipping was a day earlier than expected. Great company, great service, great price, need I say anymore. If you need trailer hitch parts this is the place to go.
by: Roland P04/03/2019
I just bought a new trailer that is 7 feet longer than my last and heavier and I now have a truck instead of an SUV so I needed to get a new weight distribution hinge with sway control. etrailer had all the best brands at the best price and delivery was fast. Unfortunately that's all I can comment on so far. I'm not picking up the new trailer till mid April, so I can't comment on how well it works or show pictures. I'll update later.

After purchasing a trailer hitch for my Nissan Xterra, I found finding the right ball at local shops difficult. I returned to etrailer's site, found the balls and hitch pin I needed, and received everything in just five days.

Perfect fit easy to jnstall
by: Paul 01/23/2022
Exactly what it says on the tin. Started rusting after use where the chrome rubbed off, but that's what you have to expect with plated wear surfaces.

Worked great just what I needed to pull my big trailer.
by: Bob06/09/2016
when I needed to supply my Tow Trucks with hitch balls I turned to etrailer because locally I could not get this price and the amount I needed in a timely fashion.
by: Dave 11/21/2019
Well made and the finish is very nice. The threads are smooth and there are wrench flats on the ball side, makes tightening the nut easier. It should be noted that the load rating on this one is 7500 lbs, due to the one inch shank. A good value at Etrailer.
by: Dennis04/10/2013
Ordering on line was a breeze -- everything was explained in the descriptions and the photos were clear. I received the product quickly and I appreciated the post-sale communication to let me know the status of my order. I was impressed by the smooth welds and the finish on both the ball and the mount. I expect they will give me many years of care-free use. Thanks!
PS No photos yet -- we pick up our trailer next week and I'll snap a few then and get one off to you!

view full answer... - Do I Need a Weight Distribution System for a Small Travel Trailer with Tongue Weight of 170 PoundsIf the rear of the vehicle settles or squats more than an inch or so when the trailer is coupled, I would recommend using a weight distribution system. If you are not experiencing any squat in the rear of the vehicle, you should be fine without using weight distribution. For such a low tongue weight you can use Reese light duty system, # 66557. You will just need to add a ball to this system using # 63845 for a 2 inch or # 63847 for a 2-5/16 inch. I have included links to are helpful...

This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. For your tongue weight that would...

If you are unsure what drop you would need to tow your trailer level check out the FAQ article I attached to the right. To unhitch your trailer you will have to remove the bike rack from the receiver opening. Even if you could get the coupler disconnected and away from the ball it would be such a headache with the limited clearance due to the bike rack that it would be easier to just...
view full answer... - 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball Recommendation for the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210You will need to go to a 2-5/16 inch ball with a 1 inch diameter shank like the Hitch Ball with 2-5/16" Diameter # 63847 to be able to use a 2-5/16 inch ball with the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210. You would not be able to install a 1-1/4 inch shank hitch ball into the # D210.
view full answer... - Best Weight Distribution for 2007 Honda Odyssey and Coleman Tacoma Pop Up Camper TrailerSince the owners manual for your 2007 Honda Odyssey says to use weight distribution for a trailer weighing over 1,800 pounds, you will want to use one with your Coleman pup. But Reese has discontinued the Mini-Lite systems, including the one made specifically for Coleman campers. In its place they have light duty system # 66557. This system is rated for up to 400 pounds tongue weight. When choosing a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up....
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System Recommended for 2008 Kia Sedona Towing R-Pod 178 TrailerFirst, I recommend checking your owner's manual to ensure that your 2008 Kia Sedona is capable of towing the R-Pod 178. If you determine your Sedona is capable of towing the trailer, I recommend using a weight distribution system with sway control. Based on your unloaded tongue weight, I recommend the Reese Light Duty Weight Distribution System with Sway Control # 66557. This system is rated for tongue weights between 250 - 400 pounds, and has a gross towing weight of 4,000 pounds. The...

First, consult your vehicles owners manual for the towing capacities and recommendations, and to make sure you are not exceeding those capacities. Next, there is a formula you can use to determine the best place for your axles. If your tongue weight is less than 10 percent of the gross trailer weight you will first determine what 10 percent of the tongue weight is. 180 pounds is what you will need. Subtract the actual...

The frame brackets on the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System part # 66557 can be positioned between 25" - 32" back from center of coupler. This will then allow a minimum of 3" between the end of the friction pad and the end of the spring bar which will be needed to ensure that the spring bar does not fall out when turning. If you take a look at the attached install instructions this will then give you all of the info that you need...
view full answer... - 2-5/16 inch Ball Recommendation with Curt Ball Mount # C45070For a 2-5/16 inch ball to fit the Curt ball mount part # C45070 that you referenced you would want the part # 63847 along with the ball mount. We can't mount them here though.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for Race Trailer with Loaded Weight 13,000 to 14,000 lbsFor your race trailer with weight between 13,000 and 14,000 lbs, the total tongue weight is normally between 10 and 15 percent of that when fully loaded and including cargo behind the rear axle of your truck. My recommendation is the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW2000 which is rated for tongue weights between 1,500 and 2,000 lbs. Then you will use hitch ball # 63847 to work with your trailer coupler. This system has brackets that are utilized for sway control....

The Curt Ball Mount # D-26 is 12-5/8 inches long and has a 7,500 lbs Gross Towing Weight (GTW) and 750 lbs Tongue Weight (TW). This ball mount also has a 3/4 inch Rise and the 2 inch Drop that you are looking for. This ball mount uses hitch balls with a shank diameter of 1 inch, like the Tow Read # 63847.

Since aluminum is not as heavy duty as steel some trailer manufacturers prohibit the use of a WD system as it could damage the trailer frame. If you are okay to use a WD system on your trailer then you will want to choose a WD system with a Tongue Weight (TW) range that the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your towing setup falls in the middle of. To find the TTW of your towing...

It has 2-1/4 inch rise, a 7,500 lb capacity and fits a 2 inch hitch. For a 2-5/16 inch ball you'd then want the part # 63847 which has a 10k capacity.
view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendation for 2016 Toyota 4Runner with 4 inches of RiseWhat you need is a ball mount that has a 4 inch rise based on the dimensions you listed. For that you'd want the Curt ball mount part # D-28 and then for a 2-5/16 inch ball you'd want the part # 63847 which would fit and work well.

view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for Triple Axle Toy Hauler with 1,700 Lb Tongue WeightThe Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW2000 is what I recommend for a toy hauler trailer with 1,700 lb tongue weight. That said, this system does utilize a 2-1/2" shank which will be needed due to the heavy tongue weight. The Blue Ox SwayPro is an excellent system, one of the best on the market with integrated sway control. Please note, you'll also need the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball part # 63847.

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...
