Features
The Mega-Duty stands apart from its competition due to its adjustability. You can easily adjust the height of the attachment by removing the pin and moving the ball mount to the desired height. This hitch ball mount makes towing a breeze as it's fast and easy to use, and it also ensures that the trailer is being towed as level as possible.
This hitch is designed and tested for use in the drop or rise position, providing even greater versatility. Capable of being adapted to almost any bumper style trailer couplings, this hitch is a great option for those looking for the best way to tow.
GEN-Y Mega-Duty Adjustable Drop Hitches start at 10,000 lbs. towing capacity and go up to 32,000 lbs. towing capacity. There are also multiple drop options as well as shank sizes (2", 2.5", 3") depending on your trailer towing needs.
CONSIDERATION FOR CHOOSING THE CORRECT BALL MOUNT
Receiver (Shank) Size
Measure the inside dimensions of your truck receiver to determine the correct ball mount shank size you need.
How to Determine the Correct Rise/Drop
Selecting the proper rise/drop for your ball mount will help to keep your trailer level while towing. To find the correct rise/drop, while your vehicle is parked on level ground, measure from the ground to the top of the opening of the trailer hitch on the vehicle. Then, while the trailer is parked on level ground, measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler. The difference between these two measurements will tell you how much rise or drop you need in a ball mount. If the vehicle is higher than the trailer (most common), you will need a drop on the ball mount. If the trailer is higher than the vehicle, you will need a rise.
Receiver Height - Coupler Height = Rise/Drop
How to Determine the Correct Weight Capacity
To choose the correct weight rating for your ball mount, you need to know how much weight your vehicle will be towing.
If you pull multiple trailers, you can base the weight rating on your vehicle's towing capacity. For example, if your vehicle has a towing capacity of 7,500 lbs., a ball mount rated for 7,500 lbs. or higher would be sufficient no matter the trailer you're towing.
If you just tow one trailer, simply find the gross trailer weight rating, which is the most it can weigh when fully loaded, and be sure the ball mount's capacity exceeds it.
