Nilight Trailer Hitch Ball Mount for 2" Receiver with 2-5/16" Ball — 2" Drop, 7,500 lb Capacity

Nilight’s trailer hitch ball mount is a heavy-duty towing accessory that fits a standard 2" receiver, features a 2-5/16" hitch ball, and offers a 2" drop with a 7,500 lb gross trailer weight capacity.

This ball mount is built for everyday towing: campers, utility trailers, ATVs and motorcycles. It’s a one-piece, industry-standard shank designed to slide into any 2" receiver tube and lock in place with the included pin and clip. The mount combines a durable two-stage corrosion protection with a beefy 2-5/16" ball and a 5/8" pin hole so you can hitch and haul with confidence.

How much weight can this Nilight ball mount safely tow?

The Nilight ball mount is rated for up to 7,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 750 pounds of tongue weight when used with the correct hitch and vehicle. These ratings are typical for medium-duty towing tasks but always confirm the tow capacity of your trailer, hitch, and vehicle first.

• Gross Trailer Weight (GTW): up to 7,500 lbs
• Tongue Weight (TW): up to 750 lbs
• Use within the lowest-rated component (vehicle, hitch, ball, mount)

Will this mount fit my vehicle's hitch receiver?

The mount is manufactured with a 2-5/16" x 2-5/16" shank designed specifically for standard 2" receiver tubes. The 5/8" pin hole aligns with commonly sized hitch pins for secure installation. Measure your receiver and compare ratings if in doubt.

• Shank size: 2-5/16" x 2-5/16" to fit 2" receivers
• Pin hole diameter: 5/8" to accept standard hitch pins
• Drop height: 2" to help achieve a level towing stance

What protective finishes and hardware are included?

The mount uses a two-stage corrosion-resistance system — an E-coat pre-coating followed by a textured black powder coat finish — to resist rust and abrasion. Nilight supplies the hitch ball already mounted and includes the matching pin and clip so you can install it right away.

• Finish: E-coat plus textured powder coat for long-term protection
• Hardware: included ball, hitch pin, and clip for immediate use
• Ball size: 2-5/16" diameter for medium-duty trailers

How simple is the installation and daily use?

Installation is straightforward: slide the shank into a compatible 2" receiver, align the pin holes, and secure with the included hitch pin and clip. The rounded shank design eases insertion and removal, and the compact 2" drop keeps the assembly low-profile when not towing.

• Install: insert shank into 2" receiver and secure with pin and clip
• Design: rounded shank for easy alignment and handling
• Maintenance: wipe clean and inspect finish periodically for wear

Who is this for: The Nilight 2-5/16" ball mount is suited to drivers who tow medium-weight trailers, recreational vehicles, ATVs, and utility loads and who need a ready-to-install, corrosion-resistant mount that fits standard 2" receivers. It’s ideal for owners who value a solid, no-frills towing setup with included hardware and a 2" drop to help level trailers without adapters. Always check vehicle and trailer ratings before towing and match components to the lowest-rated item in the chain.
