Amazon Basics Trailer Hitch Ball Mount with Pre-Attached 2" Ball, 2" Drop — 6,000 lb Capacity, Black

Amazon Basics 2" Trailer Hitch Ball Mount kit is a ready-to-install tow solution that includes a pre-attached 2" ball, 2" shank, 2" drop and a hitch pin, rated up to 6,000 lbs.

This compact, all-welded steel ball mount is built for drivers who need a no-fuss way to attach a trailer or camper to a 2" receiver. Finished in a durable black powder coat, the mount resists chips and rust while providing a stable platform for towing light to medium loads. The package includes a 2" diameter trailer ball already mounted to the shank and a 5/8" hitch pin and clip so you can install it as soon as you unbox it.

What does the kit include and how is it ready to use?

The set arrives assembled with the trailer ball pre-attached to the mount, so minimal tools are required to get on the road. Everything needed for basic hitching is in the box.

• One ball mount with a 2" shank and 2" drop for correct trailer alignment
• Pre-installed 2" trailer ball — eliminates separate ball mounting
• 5/8" hitch pin and clip for secure attachment to a 2" receiver
• Black powder coat finish to guard against corrosion and wear

How much weight can this ball mount safely tow?

This Amazon Basics mount carries a maximum rated towing capacity of 6,000 lbs, suitable for many small trailers, utility loads, and light campers. Always confirm your vehicle and trailer ratings before towing.

• Maximum gross towing capacity: 6,000 pounds
• Designed for use with 2" receiver hitch systems
• Check vehicle tongue weight limits and trailer specifications before use
• Welded steel construction maintains strength under load

How does the 2" drop and shank affect trailer alignment?

The 2" drop between the shank and ball helps match trailer coupler height to vehicle hitch height, promoting level towing and more predictable handling. Choosing the correct drop keeps lights level and reduces sway.

• 2" drop lowers the trailer coupler relative to the vehicle hitch
• 2" shank fits standard 2" receiver openings without adapters
• Provides improved trailer leveling for common small trailers
• Helps maintain proper tongue weight distribution for safer towing

What materials and finish protect the mount over time?

The ball mount is constructed from solid, all-welded steel and finished with a black powder coat to resist surface damage and corrosion during regular use. The pre-attached ball is secured and torqued for a reliable connection.

• All-welded steel body for structural integrity
• Durable black powder coat reduces rust and flaking
• Pre-attached ball avoids separate hardware loosening over time
• Compact dimensions (approx. 11.8 x 2.5 x 4.7 in) for easy storage

Who is this for: Drivers with a 2" receiver who want a straightforward, ready-to-use towing solution for light to medium loads. This Amazon Basics ball mount is ideal for occasional tow owners, weekend campers, landscapers using small trailers, and anyone who prefers a pre-assembled, corrosion-resistant kit that installs quickly with the included pin and clip. Do not exceed vehicle or trailer ratings and always confirm tongue weight compatibility before towing.
