Orion Motor Tech's pre-assembled trailer hitch ball mount fits a 2" receiver, uses a 2-5/16" ball, and is rated for up to 8,000 lb GTW.

This compact, ready-to-use ball mount is designed to simplify towing for pickup trucks, SUVs, and work vehicles. It combines a Class III 2" receiver shank with a 2-5/16" tow ball secured to a durable arm, offering a reversible profile to achieve either a 2" drop or a 3/4" rise. Built with corrosion-resistant finishes and delivered with a pin and clip, it removes installation guesswork so you can hitch and go.

How does this ball mount make hitching faster and easier?

The unit is pre-assembled so there’s no need to bolt a ball to the mount or hunt for extra hardware. The included pin and clip slip through the receiver and lock the mount in place, letting you attach your trailer in seconds. Its common 2" receiver size fits most Class III hitches, making it broadly compatible across vehicles and trailers.

  • Pre-attached 2-5/16" ball eliminates separate assembly
  • Included pin and clip for tool-free installation
  • Standard 2" shank fits popular receivers

What towing capacity and safety standards does it meet?

This ball mount is rated at an 8,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW), suitable for many medium-duty towing needs. The component materials and testing meet SAE J684 guidelines, providing a dependable connection under load. Use proper hitching procedures and verify your vehicle and trailer's tongue weight to stay within safe limits.

  • 8,000 lb GTW rating for typical trucks and large trailers
  • SAE J684-tested for standardized safety assurance
  • Designed for use with vehicles and trailers rated for Class III towing

Can the mount match different trailer heights and reduce sag?

The reversible design lets you flip the mount to select either a 2" drop or a 3/4" rise, so you can nearly match the trailer coupler height to your vehicle's hitch. Correct height alignment helps keep the trailer level and reduces strain on the tow vehicle. Adjusting the mount is quick—simply remove the pin, invert the shank, and re-pin.

  • Reversible shank for 2" drop or 3/4" rise
  • Improves tongue weight distribution and towing stability
  • Tool-free height change with the included pin and clip

How does the finish resist weather and wear?

The ball mount arm is powder-coated while the 40Cr steel ball receives a zinc plating to block rust and corrosion. Those finishes stand up to rain, snow, and road salt, and are simple to maintain—clean and rinse after salty or muddy trips. Regular inspections and light cleaning extend service life and preserve appearance.

  • Powder-coated steel arm for durable surface protection
  • Zinc-plated 40Cr steel ball to resist corrosion
  • Easy maintenance: rinse and wipe to restore finish

Who is this for? This Orion Motor Tech ball mount is ideal for owners of mid-size and full-size trucks, SUVs, and work vehicles who need a reliable, ready-to-use towing solution. If you tow boats, campers, utility trailers, or similar loads and want a straightforward, corrosion-resistant mount that fits standard 2" receivers and supports up to 8,000 lb, this product is a practical, low-fuss choice.
