It adjusts on pins so every trailer tows level, it carries three ball sizes on a rotating swing arm so you are not carrying spare mounts, and when the trailer stays home the head swings up and stows behind the bumper instead of waiting there for your shins and your garage door. This TS10047C is the 2\" shank version with a 3\" drop, built for half-ton pickups, full-size SUVs and mid-size trucks. A 3\" drop is the shallow end of the range, and the right pick when your truck sits close to stock height and the trailer coupler lands within a couple of inches of your receiver. The swing arm carries three balls, 1-7\/8\", 2\" and 2-5\/16\", so the small utility and jet-ski trailers are covered alongside the heavy stuff without keeping a second mount in the toolbox. This is the chrome version, plated with B\u0026amp;W's dual-process finish rather than painted, for buyers who want the hitch to match a chrome bumper and chrome steps instead of disappearing behind them. Capacity follows the ball you are actually towing on, never a single headline number: 10,000 lb GTW and 1,000 lb tongue weight on the 2-5\/16\" ball; 7,500 lb GTW and 750 lb tongue weight on the 2\" ball; 3,500 lb GTW and 350 lb tongue weight on the 1-7\/8\" ball. Whichever number applies, your real limit is the lowest-rated part of the whole setup, which may well be the truck or the receiver rather than the hitch. Every Tow \u0026amp; Stow is tested for strength and endurance to SAE J-684, ships with B\u0026amp;W's stainless steel pins, and is built by B\u0026amp;W in Humboldt, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTow \u0026amp; Stow adjustable ball mount body with 2\" shank, dual-process chrome plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating swing arm with three balls fitted (1-7\/8\", 2\" and 2-5\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB\u0026amp;W stainless steel adjustment and swing-arm pins with clips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB\u0026amp;W Tow \u0026amp; Stow Owner's Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: hitch pin and clip or locking pin for securing the shank in the receiver, sold separately (see TS51230)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gmHU1EzpFtI\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight Adjusts on Two Pins, No Tools\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePull the two stainless adjustment pins, slide the head to the height that tows your trailer level, and put the pins back. That is the whole procedure, and it takes longer to walk around the truck than to do it. A level trailer tracks better, brakes better and wears its tires evenly, which is the real reason B\u0026amp;W built the adjustment in rather than selling you a stack of fixed-drop mounts. When you need the ball above the receiver instead of below it, invert the shank in the receiver and the same head works the other way up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated Per Ball, Not Per Hitch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2-5\/16\" ball is the one that carries the big numbers on this hitch: 10,000 lb gross trailer weight and 1,000 lb tongue weight. Rotate to a smaller ball and the rating comes down with it, to 7,500 lb on the 2\" ball; 3,500 lb on the 1-7\/8\" ball. B\u0026amp;W publishes capacity per ball rather than as one figure because the ball in use is what sets the limit, and it is worth knowing which number you are actually towing under.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3\" of Drop, and Why That Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 3\" drop is the one to reach for when the truck is close to stock height and the trailer is a boat, a small utility or a single-axle enclosed trailer whose coupler is only a little below the receiver. It is also the drop most likely to be right on an SUV. Buy deeper than you need and the trailer tows nose-down, which pushes load forward off the trailer axles and onto the hitch. B\u0026amp;W builds the same hitch in 5\" (TS10048C) and 7\" (TS10049C) if your measurement lands somewhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree Balls on One Rotating Swing Arm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePull the single swing-arm pin, rotate the ball you need into the towing position, and re-pin. The balls fitted here are 1-7\/8\", 2\" and 2-5\/16\". Nothing comes apart, nothing gets left in the driveway, and there is no second ball mount rolling around the back seat when the boat trailer and the equipment trailer use different couplers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStows Behind the Bumper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the trailer stays home, rotate the head up and stow it under the bumper. A stowed Tow \u0026amp; Stow is not sticking out at shin height in a parking lot, it is not the thing that stops the garage door closing, and it is not out there collecting the first hit when someone parks by feel. B\u0026amp;W's own advice is to stow it in whichever position gives you the most ground clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Swing Arm Cannot Be Removed While It Is Locked In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce the hitch is locked into your receiver, the adjustable arm cannot be pulled off, so locking the shank locks the whole hitch. A slide-pin retention system keeps the arm and balls attached even with the adjustment pins out. A handful of receiver designs leave enough clearance to defeat this, and for those B\u0026amp;W supplies an anti-theft plate through its customer service line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTested to SAE J-684\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSAE J-684 is the strength and endurance standard for bumper-pull hitches, and every Tow \u0026amp; Stow is tested to it. B\u0026amp;W's general habit is to over-test rather than test to the minimum: on its gooseneck and fifth wheel products it runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests instead of using a fresh sample for each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Process Chrome Plating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chrome Tow \u0026amp; Stow is plated rather than painted, using B\u0026amp;W's dual-process plating for corrosion resistance. It is the version to buy if the truck already wears chrome bumpers, steps or mirror caps and you would rather the hitch match than hide.

B\u0026amp;W asks that you only use B\u0026amp;W pins in a Tow \u0026amp; Stow, and that you pull them occasionally, wipe them off and put a thin coat of white lithium grease on them so they keep sliding freely through years of road salt.

The two things to check before ordering are the receiver opening and the drop. Measure the receiver with any reducer sleeve pulled out, because a sleeve reduces the hitch's tow rating and adds rattle. For the drop, park the truck and the loaded trailer on level ground and measure from the ground to the top of the receiver opening and from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler: the difference is the drop you want, and B\u0026amp;W builds this line in several drops so you can land close. Remember the head can also be inverted in the receiver when you need the ball above the receiver instead of below it. B\u0026amp;W asks that you keep at least 11\" of clearance from the ground to the lowest part of the hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e Tow \u0026amp; Stow Adjustable Ball Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u0026amp;W Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e TS10047C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShank Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\", fits a 2\" square receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDrop:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Sizes:\u003c\/b\u003e 1-7\/8\", 2\", 2-5\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRating with the 2-5\/16\" Ball:\u003c\/b\u003e 10,000 lb GTW \/ 1,000 lb tongue weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRating with the 2\" Ball:\u003c\/b\u003e 7,500 lb GTW \/ 750 lb tongue weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRating with the 1-7\/8\" Ball:\u003c\/b\u003e 3,500 lb GTW \/ 350 lb tongue weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAdjustment:\u003c\/b\u003e Pin-and-hole height adjustment, no tools, and the head can be inverted in the receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePins:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W stainless steel pins with clips, included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Dual-process chrome plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTesting:\u003c\/b\u003e Tested for strength and endurance to SAE J-684, the standard for bumper-pull hitches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 28 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 843233000160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e USA, Humboldt, Kansas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Drop-in.

They got tired of the gooseneck ball welded permanently into the middle of a bed, so they designed one that turned over and stowed flush when the trailer stayed home. That was the Turnoverball, and it is still the product the company is best known for. A few years later the same under-bed mounting idea became the Companion fifth wheel hitch, and today B\u0026amp;W builds the Turnoverball, the Companion, the Tow \u0026amp; Stow and the Continuum weight distribution hitch in a plant in Humboldt that has grown past 490,000ft². Every hitch is still made in the United States from American steel, which B\u0026amp;W points out makes it one of the last remaining hitch makers in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2007 the company has been 100% employee-owned, with roughly 500 employee-owners in Kansas. That shows up in how the products get tested. B\u0026amp;W treats SAE J-2638 for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches as a floor rather than a finish line: instead of using a fresh hitch for each test, it puts a single hitch through all three of the 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and then the six static tests, so the part that passes has already lived a hard life. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested for strength and endurance to SAE J-684, the standard for bumper-pull hitches. Everything B\u0026amp;W builds is backed by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty, handled directly by B\u0026amp;W in Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.
