Orion Motor Tech 2" Trailer Ball Mount, 2" Receiver — 6" Drop, 8,000 lb, Pre-assembled Reversible

Orion Motor Tech's pre-assembled 2" receiver ball mount delivers a 6" drop (or reversible rise), a 2" hitch ball, and an 8,000 lb towing capacity for reliable trailer hookups.

If you tow boats, campers, utility trailers or heavy equipment, the right ball mount can save time and reduce stress. This Orion Motor Tech mount fits standard 2" receivers, is rated to handle up to 8,000 lb gross trailer weight, and is finished to resist corrosion. It ships ready to install with a pin and clip so you can hitch up without tools.

How does this ball mount match different trailer heights?

The mount is reversible: install it one way for a 6" drop or invert it for a 4-3/4" rise. That simple flip lets you align the towing vehicle's hitch and the trailer coupler for level towing and safer handling. No extra shims or accessories are required for these two common height needs.

• 6" drop for low trailers like utility or some fishing trailers
• 4-3/4" rise when towing taller campers or taller-axle trailers
• Reversible design — flip and reinstall into the receiver
• Works with standard 2" ball and receiver spacing

Is this hitch strong enough for heavy loads and long trips?

This Class III ball mount is rated for an 8,000 lb gross trailer weight and meets SAE J684 testing for towing safety standards. That rating covers many full-size trucks and mid-size SUVs towing trailers within manufacturer limits. Always confirm your vehicle’s tongue weight and towing capacity before loading the trailer.

• 8,000 lb gross trailer weight capacity
• SAE J684-tested for standard safety compliance
• Designed for Class III receiver systems
• Suitable for long-distance towing when used within vehicle limits

What materials and finishes protect the mount from weather and wear?

The main arm receives a durable powder-coat finish while the 40Cr steel ball is zinc-plated, combining corrosion resistance with rugged strength. These finishes help resist rust from rain, road salt, and coastal air, and are simple to maintain with an occasional rinse and light inspection. The robust materials also resist deformation under rated loads.

• Powder-coated arm for chip and corrosion resistance
• Zinc-plated 40Cr steel hitch ball for durability
• Finishes designed for road and marine environments
• Regular rinsing preserves appearance and function

How quickly can I install and start towing?

Orion Motor Tech ships this mount pre-assembled with the hitch ball installed plus a pin and clip so installation requires no tools. Slide the shank into a 2" receiver, line up the hitch pin hole, insert the pin, and secure with the clip — typically under a minute. The simplicity reduces setup time at trailheads, docks, or home drives.

• Pre-assembled ball mount with ball already attached
• Includes hitch pin and clip — no tools needed
• Easy slide-in installation for quick hookups
• Portable and ready for spontaneous trips

Who is this for? This ball mount is aimed at drivers of trucks and SUVs who need a dependable, easy-to-use towing solution for mid-to-large trailers. It suits weekend boaters, RV enthusiasts, contractors hauling equipment, and anyone wanting a corrosion-resistant, pre-assembled hitch that fits standard 2" receivers. If you tow within an 8,000 lb limit and want fast, tool-free setup with reversible height options, this mount is a practical choice.
