The B&W Tow & Stow is the last hitch you'll ever need to buy — an adjustable, dual-ball, stowable ball mount that replaces a whole drawer of fixed ball mounts. This version fits a 2" receiver, gives you a 3" drop or 3.5" rise, and carries both a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball so you're ready for nearly any bumper-pull trailer. Pull two pins to set the height for a level tow, rotate the swing arm to pick your ball size, and when you're done, fold it behind the bumper so it's not barking your shins or catching the garage door.

It's ideal for anyone who tows more than one trailer or with more than one setup — the weekend boater who also hauls a utility trailer, the homeowner with a camper and a dump trailer, the pro moving equipment all week. The 3" drop is B&W's recommendation for most standard-height vehicles (if you run a lifted truck or oversized tires, you'll likely want a deeper 5", 7", or 9" drop instead). The payoff is convenience, safety, and longevity in one American-made package: adjustable level towing, two ball sizes on demand, a tuck-away design, an anti-theft ball setup, and a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Key Features

• Adjustable height for level towing – Pull two pins to raise or lower the mount in 1" increments (3" drop or 3.5" rise by inverting it), so your trailer rides level and tows straight.
• Dual ball — 2" and 2-5/16" – Both common ball sizes in one unit; pull the front pin and rotate to the size your trailer coupler needs, no separate ball mounts required.
• Stows behind the bumper – Fold it down and out of the way when not towing to protect your shins, garage door, and bumper.
• Anti-theft, secure design – With the hitch locked in your receiver, a slide pin keeps the swing arm and balls attached so they can't just be pulled off (add a hitch lock to fully secure the shank).

One Hitch That Does It All
The Tow & Stow earns its "only hitch you'll ever need" reputation through adjustability and convenience working together. Height: pulling two stainless pins lets you move the mount in one-inch increments, and inverting it in the receiver gives you the 3.5" rise position — the key to keeping any trailer level, which is what keeps it towing straight and braking safely. Ball size: the dual-ball swing arm carries both a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball, covering the vast majority of bumper-pull trailer couplers. Stowability: when you're done, it folds behind the bumper instead of jutting out.

Material quality is where B&W separates itself. This Tow & Stow is built from high-strength American-made steel with in-house welds, then protected by a genuine two-step finish — an E-coat base under a black powder coat — that guards against corrosion inside and out and keeps the hitch looking sharp against your truck. Every Tow & Stow is tested for strength and endurance to SAE J684, the current bumper-pull hitch standard, and B&W builds them start-to-finish in Humboldt, USA — one of the last remaining American hitch makers.

A note on capacity, because it matters on a dual-ball hitch. This 2" receiver model carries a Gross Trailer Weight rating of 10,000 lbs and a Tongue Weight rating of 1,000 lbs — but the two balls are rated individually: the 2-5/16" ball carries the full rating, while the 2" ball is rated lower (7,500 lbs). Always tow within the rating of the specific ball you're using, and remember your true limit is the lowest-rated link in the chain — the hitch, that ball, your vehicle's receiver, and your vehicle's tow rating. A pintle hitch option is available separately for heavier or pintle-style needs.

Installation & Use
There's really no installation — the Tow & Stow uses your existing factory receiver.

• Setup: Slide the shank into your 2" receiver, insert your hitch pin (a locking pin is recommended), and you're ready.
• Tools required: None for basic use; adjustments are made by hand by pulling the stainless pins.
• Adjusting height: Pull the two pins, set the swing arm to the height that levels your loaded trailer, and reinsert the pins.
• Changing ball size: Pull the front pin, rotate to the ball you need, and reinsert the pin.
• Stowing: When not towing, fold the arm down behind the bumper.
• Compatibility note: The Tow & Stow is not compatible with weight-distribution or sway-bar systems, which use specialized attachment pieces that don't work with this hitch.

Always confirm your trailer sits level and all pins are fully seated before towing.

A hitch pin lock for the receiver shank (e.g., B&W's locking pin) is recommended and sold separately.

Care & Maintenance
The Tow & Stow is famously low-maintenance, but one step keeps it working smoothly for life:

• Lubricate the pins: Apply white lithium grease to all three stainless steel pins, and keep them clean and greased so they never seize. This is the single most important maintenance item.
• Keep it clean: Rinse off road salt, mud, and grime periodically — especially after winter or coastal driving — to protect the finish.
• Grease the balls: Lightly grease the ball in use to reduce coupler wear.
• Inspect before towing: Confirm the pins are fully seated and the slide pin is engaged, and periodically check the welds and finish for damage.
• Storage: Simply stow it behind the bumper, or remove and keep it somewhere dry; keep the shank clean so it slides in and out easily.

Warranty
This Tow & Stow is backed by B&W's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

• Covered: B&W stands behind the Tow & Stow against design and quality/manufacturing defects for the life of the product — if it doesn't live up to their standards, they'll make it right.
• Accident/misuse: Damage from accidents or misuse isn't a defect claim.
• Registration: No registration required — keep your proof of purchase.

This is a summary; refer to B&W's full Limited Lifetime Warranty statement for complete terms.

Terms to Know

• Ball mount / drawbar: The removable piece that slides into your receiver and holds the hitch ball your trailer couples to.
• Drop: How far the ball sits below the receiver opening — needed when your truck's receiver is higher than the trailer coupler. B&W recommends a 3" drop for most standard vehicles; lifted trucks or big tires may need 5", 7", or 9".
• Rise: The ball positioned above the receiver, achieved by inverting the Tow & Stow (3.5" rise on this model).
•  Dual ball: A swing arm carrying two ball sizes (here 2" and 2-5/16") so one hitch fits most couplers.
•  GTW (Gross Trailer Weight): The maximum total loaded trailer weight the hitch is rated to pull — 10,000 lbs on this model (on the 2-5/16" ball; the 2" ball is rated 7,500 lbs).
•  VTW / TW (Vertical/Tongue Weight): The downward weight the trailer places on the ball — 1,000 lbs here. To measure: weigh your loaded rig, then subtract the vehicle-only weight with the tongue weight removed.
• E-coat: An electrocoat primer applied under the powder coat for extra corrosion protection — a genuine two-layer finish here.
• UV-resistant powder coat: A tough, baked-on finish treated to resist fading and breakdown from sun.
• SAE J684: The industry test standard for strength and endurance of bumper-pull hitches; every Tow & Stow is tested to it.
• Weight-distribution / sway-bar system: Add-on systems that spread tongue weight or resist sway. Not compatible with the Tow & Stow.
