B&W Trailer HitchesTow & Stow Adjustable Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - Fits 2.5" Receiver, Tri-Ball (1-7/8" x 2" x 2-5/16"), 7" Drop, 18,000 GTW - TS20049B

I have a 5th gen ram 2500. I wanted to find a hitch that will take care of pretty much every towing scenario i would run into. I ended up buying the 7” drop tri-ball and it was the best choice i could’ve made. It is machined and built very well. I just got the hitch, so haven’t had a chance to tow anything with it yet, but did the math. Also figuring level towing vs other drop hitches I’ve previously used and amount of squat from previous experience during towing.My truck is all stock and still wearing the 33” tires it came with. The measurement to the top inside of the receiver is 25.5”. Base of the frame on this hitch ends up at 15.5” of ground clearance when attached. When I have this set at the lowest setting, with the 2-5/16” ball up, the 2” ball has 14” of ground clearance. With the 2” ball up, the 2-5/16” ball has 13-3/4” of ground clearance. The 1-7/8” doesn't have a ball on the opposite side, so its base is flush with the bottom of the frame at 15-1/2” at the lowest setting.I tow a travel trailer thats around 8000 lbs, a dump trailer that varies, and an enclosed 10’ utility trailer on occasion. My truck will squat 2” to 2.5” with the travel trailer attached. It’s about the same with the dump trailer loaded pretty good. Both of those would need the 2-5/16” ball up higher than the lowest setting to level the trailer. With the ball up from the lowest setting it is 15.5” of ground clearance minus the 2-2.5” squat, so should still have 13.5-13” ground clearance from the hitch frame with that. Even at the lowest setting, it would have 12-11.5” ground clearance, but I wouldn’t tow them on the lowest setting as neither trailer would be level. The utility trailer using the 2” ball needs a lower setting than the travel trailer and dump, but i think the lowest to level it will be one notch above the lowest setting and I would have to really load it pretty crazy to get 2” of squat. With no squat and at the lowest setting, you should have 13-3/4” of ground clearance. The least amount of ground clearance at the lowest setting would be 11-1/4 and that would require to be loaded so much as to make it squat 2.5 inches. That would most likely be overweight for the trailer and the 2” ball, so doubt i will see that much squat ever with this trailer.I don’t have a trailer that uses the 1-7/8” ball, but even at the lowest setting you will be at 15.5” of ground clearance. I’m thinking this ball would be used for a very small trailer like for towing a john boat. It would be the ball most likely to have to be on the lowest setting for towing. The weight associated with a trailer using the 1-7/8” ball would likely not cause any squat and stay around the 15.5” ground clearance mark.

You can’t go wrong with this setup. I have been using this for 2 years and you can tell it’s MADE IN AMERICA. Not a single complaint.

I spent a lot of time researching the best hitch for my use . I think the B&W Stow n Go is the best. It’s extremely well made , its functionality is amazing So easy to use , change ball sizes and stow out of the way . Very happy with my purchase

Extremely heavy duty and works great. Highly recommend.

This is a great hitch and AMERICAN MADE (not just American assembled 🙄)

Excellent quality.

This hitch system is by far the best on the market today. The quality of the steel and the construction is by far the best. This has three balls for choices and the positioning of the levels is great. I was worried that the hitch ball could be stolen from the hitch but B&W hit it just right with locking it in so that it could not be removed. I love how this can be hidden when not in use. It’s worth the money. I have gone through REESE, CURT, Haul Master and others and having one that con do all three and store away without removing is a win. Don’t think about it… just get one.

Great product. Alittle pricy but pleased.
