Adjustable 2.5ft Receiver Trailer Hitch with 10ft Drop - Built-In

Our review of this adjustable trailer hitch finds it best suited for drivers who tow varying loads and need a single, reliable ball mount that handles heavy trailers while measuring tongue weight. The standout feature is the integrated tongue weight scale that lets users verify load balance on the fly, combined with a broad 18,500 lb GTW rating for larger tow jobs. For someone switching between trailers or running commercial and recreational towing, this unit delivers a practical balance of strength, convenience, and corrosion-resistant components.

Key Features

• Adjustable height: The 10' drop and 11' rise with 1' increments make it easy to match trailer tongue height for safer, level towing.
• Built-in tongue scale: The integrated scale helps confirm tongue weight before hitting the road, reducing sway risk and improving towing safety.
• High towing capacity: Rated for 18,500 lb GTW, it covers heavy-duty trailers and larger loads encountered in work or leisure use.
• Dual stainless balls: The included 2' and 2-5/16' stainless steel tow balls provide versatility to connect multiple trailer couplers without swapping hardware.
• Security lock set: A one-piece lock set is supplied to protect the hitch from theft and keep the adjustable pin secured during travel.
• Aluminum construction: The aluminum body gives a strong yet corrosion-resistant platform that reduces weight compared with heavier steel units.

Who It's For

This hitch is aimed at truck owners who regularly tow different trailers or change trailer heights, including landscapers, horse trailer owners, and recreational users who switch between utility, boat, or enclosed trailers. The integrated scale and dual balls appeal to those who want quick verification of tongue weight and the ability to accept common coupler sizes without tools.

It is less appropriate for drivers who never change trailer height or coupler size and prefer a dedicated fixed ball mount, or for very light-duty users who do not need an 18,500 lb GTW capacity and might prefer a smaller, less costly option.

Pros & Cons
