The Dual Ball Pintle Hitch combines the versatility of a pintle hook with the convenience of a ball mount. It’s designed for heavy-duty towing where you may need to switch between a standard trailer coupler and a lunette ring, making it ideal for work trucks, construction, agriculture, or anyone hauling a mix of equipment.
Built from high-strength steel and tested to meet SAE J684 standards, the Dual Ball Pintle hitch is made for serious towing. Depending on your receiver size, it’s rated up to 16,000 lbs. GTW (2" shank, 2-5/16" ball) or 21,000 lbs. GTW (2.5" shank, 2-5/16" ball), with corresponding VTW of 1,600 lbs. and 2,100 lbs. The 2" ball is rated for 10,000 lbs. GTW and 1,000 lbs. VTW on both shank sizes.
The pintle function is designed for use only with the 2-5/16" ball.
Always confirm your vehicle’s towing capacity before use.
Yes—our hitches are available in 2" and 2.5" shank sizes to fit most heavy-duty receiver hitches. Each model is adjustable for height, so you can level your trailer with your truck. Be sure to select the correct shank size for your receiver to ensure a safe and secure connection.
Apply white lithium grease to all three Tow & Stow stainless steel pins. Keep the pins clean and lubricated to prevent seizing.
The best way to prevent pins from seizing in place is to keep them clean and regularly apply a thin coating of white lithium grease. Keep in mind that metal parts in contact with each other and exposed to the elements can eventually corrode and rust. Regular maintenance is required.
The pin hole location on different makes of receivers can vary. The two holes in the Tow & Stow shank offer some adaptability. Under normal circumstances, it’s best to have the shank slid as far into the receiver as possible, both from a strength standpoint and because it makes theft of the hitch assembly more difficult, providing a locking pin is used in the receiver and shank.
No. Sway-bar systems, along with weight distribution systems, utilize specialized attachment pieces to connect to the hitch receiver that are not compatible with the Tow & Stow.
Replacement pins and clips can be purchased through a dealer or ordered through B&W.
Put the back tires of your vehicle on a scale with your trailer fully loaded and unloaded. Then, subtract your empty load from your full load to get your vertical tongue weight.
For most vehicles, the 3" drop is the appropriate Tow & Stow hitch. However, if you have a pickup truck with oversized tires, a lift kit, or a trailer that is not at the same relative height as your receiver, you may need a 5", 7", or 9" drop hitch. The following diagram depicts how to calculate what is commonly referred to as 'drop.'
