About This Product

The TowSmart X-mount Ball Mount is a patented X-mount design that channels away moisture to minimize seizing within the aperture of the receiver hitch. The X-mount design also includes a lockrail system that allows you to torque the hitch ball with a single wrench. The lockrail functions as a built-in wrench preventing the hitch ball rotation during installation or removal from the X-mount Ball Mount. Make sure to select the correct class for your towing application. Each X-mount can be used in either the drop or rise position depending on your requirement when towing. It is important to know the total weight of the trailer (GTW) you are towing and the maximum towing capacity determined by the vehicle manufacturer.

          Yes, you'll need an adapter for a 250/2500 though.

              Thank you for your interest in this Class III TowSmart X-Mount Starter Kit.  This item is not application specific and can fit any vehicle with a 2 inch hitch box receiver.    It is important to check the tow vehicle's towing weight capacity (determined by the vehicle manufacturer), to ensure that capacity is not being exceeded while towing.

              By|Feb 4, 2021

                Yes, any standard receiver

                By|Jun 1, 2022

                  It should fit any standard 2” receiver. Mine was installed by U-Haul and it fits perfectly.

                    Can I flip it over and put the ball on the other side?

                    Answer This Question

                    Yes, in order to level the ride of my trailer I flipped the hitch over. It’s made for use on both sides.

                    By|Jul 17, 2021

                      Regarding the TowSmart receiver hitch - Yes, you can mount the ball on the other side of the hitch plate. You must, however, make sure that the hitch is at the correct height for the trailer you are towing. There are different receiver hitch models with differing heights - make sure you get the right one.

                              Tow hitch is easy to install. After about an hour and half of towing, got some wear on the hitch. It does have a little wiggle room on up/down and left/right so it made some divots in the paint. It’s just regular spray paint and not powder coated. The next time I tow, I will use some shims to keep the hitch from wobbling in place. As for the welds, they look to be very well done. The paint could have been done better but I think I’ll just wire brush it off and respray some black gloss paint.
