Nilight 1-7/8" Welded Hitch Ball Mount for 2" Receiver, 2" Drop 5,000 lb Rated with Pin

This compact ball mount is built to fit standard 2" trailer receivers and is designed for routine towing tasks like small trailers, campers, motorcycles, and utility loads. A two-stage corrosion-resistant finish and a welded tow ball simplify setup and reduce the parts you need to manage. The unit’s modest 2" drop keeps coupler height close to many vehicle hitches while preserving a 5/8" pin hole for secure attachment.

How reliable is the Nilight ball mount for everyday towing?

The mount is engineered for consistent, everyday use and carries a 5,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity with a 500 lb tongue weight (TW), suitable for light- to medium-duty loads. The welded ball eliminates the chance of loose ball hardware under load, and the included 5/8" hitch pin and clip secure the shank in your receiver.

• 5,000 lb GTW and 500 lb TW rating for common towing tasks
• Welded 1-7/8" tow ball for permanent, low-maintenance coupling
• Included 5/8" hitch pin and clip for immediate mounting
• 2" x 2" shank fits industry-standard receivers

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

Yes — the Nilight Weled ball mount features a 2" x 2" shank designed for standard 2" hitch receivers. The 2" drop positions the ball close to the receiver height, which helps match common trailer coupler heights without additional risers or shims.

• 2" shank compatible with most SUVs, trucks, and crossovers
• 2" drop suits many small trailers and campers for level towing
• 5/8" pin hole matches the included hitch pin and most receiver hardware

How does the finish hold up against weather and road conditions?

The mount uses a two-stage protection system — an E-Coat pre-coating followed by a textured black powder coat — to resist corrosion from moisture, salt, and grime. That finish extends the service life and keeps the mount looking functional with minimal upkeep.

• E-Coat pre-coating provides initial corrosion barrier
• Durable textured powder coat resists chips and abrasion
• Low maintenance: wipe clean and inspect periodically

How simple is installation and setup for first-time users?

Installation is straightforward: slide the 2" shank into your receiver, align the 5/8" hole, and secure it with the supplied hitch pin and clip. The welded ball means no separate ball tightening, and the rounded shank helps the mount slide in smoothly.

• Slide-in 2" shank for quick insertion
• Included 5/8" hitch pin and clip for secure fastening
• Welded ball removes the need for torqueing separate ball hardware

Who is this for: This Nilight Weled 1-7/8" Hitch Ball Mount is aimed at drivers who tow light- to medium-duty loads and want a low-fuss, ready-to-use solution.
