GusHill 2" Ball Mount for 2" Receiver — GH45070 6" Drop, 6,500 lb Capacity, Powder-Coated

The GusHill GH45070 is a heavy-duty, adjustable ball mount engineered for 2" hitch receivers that provides a 6" drop and a 6,500 lb towing capacity.

If you tow trailers, campers, or utility gear with a vehicle that accepts a standard 2-inch hitch, this ball mount is a straightforward, dependable option. Built for universal fit and everyday use, the GH45070 combines a durable black powder-coat finish with a simple shank design and a 1" ball hole to accept common trailer balls (ball sold separately). It’s designed to make hitching fast while resisting rust and wear from road exposure.

How much weight can this GusHill ball mount handle?

The GH45070 supports up to 6,500 pounds of towing capacity when used within the match-rated limits of your hitch, ball, and vehicle. Always confirm the weakest component’s rating—usually the trailer ball, receiver, or vehicle tongue weight restriction—before towing.

• Maximum towing capacity: 6,500 lb
• Match with appropriate-rated trailer ball and hitch pin
• Verify vehicle tongue weight and receiver capacity first

Will this ball mount fit my 2" receiver and trailer ball?

The GH45070 is built with a standard shank that slides into any 2" hitch receiver and locks in place with the included hitch pin. The 1" hole accepts trailer balls that use a 1" diameter shank, making it compatible with common ball sizes, though the trailer ball itself is not included.

• Shank designed for 2" x 2" receivers (standard fit)
• 1" hole accommodates 1" shank trailer balls (sold separately)
• Comes with hitch pin for secure installation

How does the finish and construction protect against weather and wear?

GusHill finished the GH45070 in a black powder coat that resists corrosion, chips, and surface rust from road salt and moisture. The robust coating plus welded steel construction helps maintain strength and appearance through repeated use.

• Durable black powder-coat finish for corrosion resistance
• Solid steel construction for long-term durability
• Designed for regular exposure to road and weather conditions

How simple is installation and removal for everyday towing?

Installation is quick: slide the round shank into the vehicle’s 2" receiver, align the hitch pin hole, and insert the supplied hitch pin to lock it. The rounded shank profile eases positioning and makes swapping mounts fast when you change trailers or need different drop/rise heights.

• Rounded shank eases insertion and alignment
• Included hitch pin secures mount to receiver
• Remove and store easily when not in use

Who this is for: The GusHill GH45070 ball mount is ideal for drivers with midsize trucks, SUVs, or crossover vehicles that require a 6" drop and up to 6,500 lb towing capacity. It suits weekend campers, landscape contractors, and homeowners who tow small to medium trailers and want a reliable, weather-resistant mount that installs quickly and fits standard 2" receivers.
