Whether you tow a utility trailer on the weekend, a boat for summer adventures, or a camper for extended road trips, the B&W Tow & Stow Adjustable Ball Mount is designed to make towing safer, simpler, and more convenient. Engineered for 2" receiver hitches, this premium adjustable hitch features both 2" and 2-5/16" chrome hitch balls, allowing you to switch between the two most common trailer coupler sizes in seconds without changing ball mounts.
Unlike traditional fixed ball mounts, the Tow & Stow lets you quickly adjust the hitch height in 1" increments to keep your trailer level for improved towing stability and reduced trailer sway. When you're finished towing, the entire ball assembly rotates underneath the vehicle, keeping it tucked neatly behind the bumper to help prevent shin injuries, reduce garage clearance concerns, and maintain a cleaner appearance.
Manufactured in the USA from high-strength steel, finished with a durable chrome-plated dual-ball assembly and corrosion-resistant components, this premium towing accessory is built for years of dependable service. Whether you're an experienced tower or simply want one hitch that does it all, the B&W Tow & Stow is an outstanding performance upgrade for virtually any truck or SUV equipped with a 2" receiver.
Key Features
- Dual Chrome Hitch Balls – Easily switch between 2" and 2-5/16" trailer couplers without carrying multiple ball mounts
- Adjustable Height Design – Provides a 5" drop, 5.5" rise, and adjusts in 1" increments for level, safer towing
- Patented Stowable Design – Rotates underneath the bumper when not in use to improve clearance and reduce the chance of bumping into the hitch
- Premium American-Made Construction – Built from high-strength steel with corrosion-resistant chrome plating, stainless steel pins, and a limited lifetime warranty
Engineered for Maximum Versatility
The biggest advantage of the Tow & Stow system is flexibility. Instead of owning several different ball mounts for different trailers, this adjustable hitch adapts to nearly every towing situation.
Changing hitch height requires simply removing two stainless steel adjustment pins, sliding the ball platform into the desired position, and reinserting the pins. This allows you to quickly compensate for differences between trailers or vehicles, helping keep your trailer level for improved handling and safer towing.
When switching trailer coupler sizes, simply remove the front pin and rotate the dual-ball assembly to the appropriate ball size. The entire process takes only moments and eliminates the need to swap hitch balls.
Premium Materials Built to Last
B&W Trailer Hitches has earned a reputation for producing some of the industry's highest-quality towing equipment, and the Tow & Stow continues that tradition.
This model is manufactured from high-strength American steel to provide exceptional strength and durability under demanding towing conditions. The dual chrome-plated hitch balls receive a two-stage plating process that helps resist rust, corrosion, and wear while maintaining an attractive appearance.
Additional durability features include:
- Stainless steel adjustment pins for corrosion resistance
- Heavy-duty steel construction
- Precision-machined components
- Long-lasting chrome finish
- Made entirely in the USA
The result is a premium towing accessory designed to withstand years of frequent use in harsh weather conditions.
Adjustable Height for Safer, Level Towing
A properly leveled trailer tows more safely, distributes weight more evenly, and reduces unnecessary stress on both your tow vehicle and trailer.
The Tow & Stow provides:
- 5" maximum drop
- 5.5" maximum rise
- 1" adjustment increments
This flexibility makes it an excellent solution for owners who tow multiple trailers or use different tow vehicles throughout the year.
For many stock-height pickups and SUVs, a 3" drop is sufficient. However, lifted trucks, oversized tires, or trailers with taller couplers often require a 5" drop, making this model an excellent choice for those needing additional adjustability.
Innovative Stowable Design
One of the Tow & Stow's most popular features is built right into its name.
Instead of removing the hitch after every trip, simply rotate the ball assembly underneath the bumper when finished towing. This helps:
- Reduce shin injuries from exposed hitch balls
- Improve garage and parking clearance
- Keep the hitch out of the way when not towing
- Maintain a cleaner appearance on your vehicle
It's a simple innovation that quickly becomes one of the most appreciated features of the hitch.
Built-In Security Features
The Tow & Stow incorporates an intelligent anti-theft design.
A built-in slide pin keeps the swing arm and hitch balls attached to the adjustable mount—even if the adjustment pins are removed. Once the hitch is secured inside the receiver with a locking hitch pin (sold separately), the swing arm cannot be removed independently, adding another layer of security.
