How much weight can this Nilight ball mount tow?

Rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 7,500 lb and a tongue weight up to 750 lb, the mount is suitable for many midsize towing needs. Always verify your vehicle and trailer capacities before towing.

Will this fit my vehicle’s receiver and trailer coupler?

The Nilight ball mount uses a 2" x 2" shank that slides into standard 2" receivers and includes a 2-5/16" diameter ball for couplers sized to that ball. The pin hole is 5/8" to accept common hitch pins or locking hitch pins.

• Shank: 2" x 2" to fit industry-standard receivers
• Ball size: 2-5/16" diameter for compatible couplers
• Drop: 2" drop to achieve proper trailer level
• Pin hole: 5/8" diameter; pin and clip included

How does the finish protect the hitch from rust and wear?

Nilight applies a two-stage finish—an E-Coat pre-coat followed by a textured black powder coat—designed to resist corrosion and surface wear in outdoor conditions. This layered protection helps extend service life even with exposure to road salt and weather.

• E-Coat base layer for thorough corrosion resistance
• Textured powder coat for abrasion and UV resistance
• Welds and joints coated to reduce susceptibility to rust
• Wipe down and inspect periodically for best longevity

How easy is it to install and what hardware is included?

Installation is straightforward: slide the 2" shank into your vehicle’s hitch receiver, align the pin hole and secure with the included pin and clip. The rounded shank and standard hole size let most users install the mount without specialty tools.

• Insert 2" shank into receiver and align holes
• Secure with included pin and retaining clip
• No extra hardware required for standard installations
• Check torque on hitch ball per vehicle/trailer guidance

Who this is for: Drivers who tow mid-range loads—such as small travel trailers, utility trailers, ATVs, or motorcycles—and who need a durable, ready-to-install hitch solution that fits a common 2" receiver. It’s a practical choice for weekend adventurers, light contractors and anyone seeking a corrosion-resistant, pre-assembled ball mount with a 2" drop and 2-5/16" ball.
