This compact towing starter kit is built for drivers who need a durable, ready-to-install hitch solution for Class III and IV 2" x 2" receivers. The assembly combines a welded steel ball mount finished in weather-resistant black powder coat with a solid forged, chrome-plated 2" hitch ball and a 5/8" pin and clip. Designed to resist rust and handle routine heavy-duty use, the kit gives you a straightforward way to tow trailers, utility equipment, or cargo carriers while maintaining a modest profile behind your vehicle.

How does this kit fit my vehicle and trailer?

The MaxxHaul 50547 is made for standard 2" x 2" hitch receivers found on Class III and IV vehicles. The ball mount measures 8" overall and provides a maximum 2" drop or a 3/4" rise, so it adapts to common trailer tongue heights without requiring additional shims or adapters. The included components meet usual industry dimensions for quick, secure installation.

• Fits 2" x 2" Class III and IV hitch receivers
• 8" ball mount with 2" maximum drop and 3/4" maximum rise
• 2" diameter hitch ball with 1" shank to match trailer couplers

What are the strength and durability specs?

This kit is engineered for everyday towing demands up to a gross towing weight of 7,500 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 700 lbs. The ball mount is heavy-duty welded steel with a rust-resistant powder coat, and the hitch ball is solid forged with a chrome polish to withstand wear. Those features help ensure long-term performance under typical hauling conditions.

How easy is it to install and use?

Installation is straightforward and requires no drilling or special tools beyond a standard wrench for tightening the ball nut and a hammer or mallet to seat the pin if needed. The bolt-on ball and simple pin-and-clip retention make swapping setups or removing the mount fast when you’re done towing. It’s a practical option for owners who want a reliable, no-fuss hitch kit ready out of the box.

• Includes ball mount, 2" hitch ball with 1" shank, and 5/8" pin with clip
• No-drill installation into existing 2" receiver
• Quick-change pin and clip for fast attach/detach
• Standard wrench required for ball nut torque

What maintenance keeps this hitch performing?

Routine inspections and light upkeep extend the life of this towing kit. Keep the chrome ball clean and lightly lubricated to prevent wear on the trailer coupler, and check the powder coat for chips that could expose bare metal. Tighten fasteners before each trip and replace the pin or clip at the first sign of excessive wear or deformation.

• Inspect pin, clip, and ball nut before each use
• Wipe and lubricate the hitch ball to reduce friction
• Touch up the powder coat if scratches expose metal
• Store indoors when not in use to slow corrosion

Who this is for: The MaxxHaul 50547 kit is ideal for pickup and SUV owners who tow small-to-medium trailers, utility racks, or light equipment and want a rugged, ready-to-use 2" receiver solution. It suits DIYers, rental fleet operators, landscapers, and weekend haulers who need dependable towing hardware without complicated installations or specialized adapters. If you require heavier towing capacities or custom rise/drop combinations, consider a modular hitch or adjustable mount designed for larger loads.
