Weigh Safe Adjustable Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - Heavy Duty 18,500 GTW

In this review the Weigh Safe Adjustable Trailer Hitch Ball Mount is evaluated for drivers who tow varying trailers and need a single, secure solution. The standout reason to consider this ball mount is its combination of heavy-duty construction and flexible height adjustment, offering a reliable 6" adjustable drop or 7" rise with both 2" and 2-5/16" chrome plated tow balls. The package also includes a keyed-alike four piece lock set, which is a decisive benefit for anyone concerned about theft or swapping components between trailers.

Key Features

• Adjustable drop and rise: The mount adjusts in 1" increments to match trailer height whether you need a 6" drop or a 7" rise, reducing sway and making hookup easier.
• Dual tow ball sizes: Includes a turnover ball with chrome plated 2" and 2-5/16" balls to work with the most common coupler sizes without changing mounts.
• High towing capacity: Rated to an industry-leading 18,500 GTW, the design suits heavy trailers when paired with a proper hitch and vehicle.
• Anti-theft keyed alike set: Comes with a keyed-alike dual pin lock, receiver pin lock, coupler lock and padlock so all locks use the same key for convenience and security.
• Quality materials: Made in the USA from aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel components for corrosion resistance and a lighter weight than steel alternatives.

Who It's For

This ball mount is best for owners of trucks or SUVs with a 2.5" receiver who tow different trailers and need quick height changes and the option to swap ball sizes. It fits owners hauling equipment, livestock trailers, car haulers or heavy utility trailers who value a high GTW rating and built-in lock security.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers with a 2" or 3" receiver (this product is for 2.5" receivers only) and people who prefer a permanently welded fixed ball mount rather than an adjustable system. If chrome wear is a major concern, consider comparing finish options or maintenance plans, as a few users noted cosmetic wear over time.
