Orion Motor Tech 2" Receiver Trailer Hitch Ball Mount — 2-5/16" Ball, 8,000 lb Capacity, Reversible Shank

This heavy-duty ball mount is engineered for drivers who need a simple, durable, and ready-to-use towing solution. Built to Class III specs and SAE J684 tested, the unit combines a reversible shank for rise or drop, corrosion-resistant finishes, and a ready-to-install pin and clip so you can hitch up quickly. It’s intended for pickups, SUVs, and vehicles with a standard 2" receiver that tow boats, campers, utility trailers, and other heavy loads.

How does this hitch make towing easier?

The ball mount arrives fully assembled with the ball attached and includes a pin and clip, so there’s no disassembly or extra tools required. Its reversible design quickly adapts to different trailer heights, reducing the setup time at the trailhead, marina, or campsite.

• Pre-installed 2-5/16" zinc-plated ball ready to use
• Pin and clip included for immediate installation
• Reversible shank gives a 2" drop or 3/4" rise without modifications
• Compatible with standard 2" receiver tubes

Is it strong enough for heavy loads and long trips?

Yes — this Class III mount is rated to 8,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) and meets SAE J684 testing standards for towing performance. The construction and finishes are selected to resist wear and maintain strength across repeated use and long-distance hauling.

• 8,000 lb GTW rating for a wide range of trailers
• 40Cr steel ball provides high tensile strength
• Powder-coated mount resists chipping and corrosion
• Designed for sustained towing and frequent hookups

How does it stand up to weather and salt exposure?

Components are treated for corrosion resistance: the mount receives a durable powder-coat while the ball is zinc-plated to handle moisture, road grime, and coastal environments. Routine cleaning helps preserve the finish and reduces the need for replacement in harsh conditions.

• Powder-coated arm minimizes rust and surface damage
• Zinc-plated 40Cr steel ball for added corrosion protection
• Simple rinse-off maintenance after salt or mud exposure
• Finish engineered for seasonal storage and outdoor use
