Orion Motor Tech 2" Receiver Trailer Hitch Ball Mount — 2-5/16" Ball, Reversible 4" Drop, 8,000 lb Capacity

This heavy-duty ball mount is built for drivers who need a simple, reliable towing solution that installs in seconds. The unit arrives fully assembled with pin and clip, constructed from corrosion-resistant materials and tested to meet SAE J684 standards. Whether you're hauling boats, campers, or utility trailers, this mount is designed to reduce setup time and protect against weather and road salt.

How strong is this hitch and what trailers can I tow?

The mount is rated for an 8,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) and conforms to SAE J684 testing procedures for strength and safety. It works with most trailers that require a 2-5/16" ball and a Class III 2" receiver, making it suitable for many mid- to heavy-duty towing tasks.

• 8,000 lb GTW rating for heavier small trailers and many utility trailers.
• Compatible with 2-5/16" couplers common on boats, campers, and equipment trailers.
• Meets SAE J684 testing for industry-recognized reliability.

How do I adjust the mount for different trailer heights?

The ball mount is reversible so you can flip it to use either a 4" drop or a 2-3/4" rise, accommodating trailers that sit lower or higher than your vehicle's hitch. Swapping positions is a one-person task—remove the pin and clip, rotate the mount, and reinsert the pin.

• 4" drop for lower trailers and reduced tongue height.
• 2-3/4" rise when the trailer tongue sits above vehicle hitch height.
• Quick conversion with included pin and clip—no tools required.

What materials and finishes protect the mount from corrosion?

Orion Motor Tech built the mount using durable 40Cr steel for the ball and a powder-coated steel arm to resist chipping and rust. The ball itself receives a zinc plating for an extra layer of corrosion protection, so roadside salt and coastal air are less likely to cause premature wear.

• Powder-coated arm reduces surface rust and paint flaking.
• Zinc-plated 40Cr steel ball for long-lasting corrosion resistance.
• Designed for quick rinsing and low-maintenance care after exposure to salt or mud.

How fast is installation and what hardware is included?

This ball mount arrives pre-assembled so installation is simply sliding it into a 2" receiver and securing with the supplied pin and clip. Because it requires no assembly or extra parts, you can hitch up and go in under a minute on most vehicles.

• Pre-assembled: no separate tools or parts needed.
• Includes pin and clip sized for standard 2" receivers.
• Designed for quick hookup at home, the job site, or on the road.

Who is this for? This ball mount is ideal for drivers who tow regularly and want a fast, dependable solution without fuss. It suits owners of trucks, SUVs, and vans that accept a 2" receiver and trailers equipped with a 2-5/16" coupler—particularly those who need an all-weather, low-maintenance hitch for camping, boating, landscaping, or small equipment transport.
