The B&W Tow & Stow with a 9" drop is the adjustable hitch for the tallest trucks on the road. It's an adjustable, dual-ball, stowable ball mount that replaces a whole drawer of fixed ball mounts with a single unit — and its maximum 9" drop is made specifically for big lift kits and high-riding HD trucks that would otherwise leave a trailer sitting badly nose-up. It fits a 2" receiver, delivers a 9" drop or 9.5" 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 choose your ball size, and when you're done, fold it behind the bumper so it's out of the way of your shins and garage door.

It's ideal for owners of seriously lifted and big-tire trucks who tow more than one trailer — the weekend boater who also hauls a utility trailer, the homeowner with a camper and a dump trailer, the pro moving equipment all week. On a tall truck, the deep drop is exactly what keeps a trailer level, and level towing is what keeps the rig tracking straight and braking properly. 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

• Maximum 9" drop / 9.5" rise – The deepest drop in the 2" Tow & Stow line, built to level your trailer behind tall lift kits and the highest-riding trucks.
• Dual ball — 2" and 2-5/16" – Both common ball sizes in one unit; pull the front pin and rotate to the size your coupler needs, no separate ball mounts required.
• Adjustable height for level towing – Pull two pins to raise or lower the mount in 1" increments, dialing in a level tow for your specific truck-and-trailer combination.
• 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 — for the Tallest Trucks
The Tow & Stow's whole idea is one hitch that does the job of many, and this version takes that to the top of the height range. Height: pulling two stainless pins lets you move the mount in one-inch increments, and inverting it in the receiver gives you the 9.5" rise position — this deep range is the entire reason to choose the 9", letting you level a trailer that would sit far nose-up behind a big-lift truck with a shallower mount. Ball size: the dual-ball swing arm carries both a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball, covering the vast majority of bumper-pull 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 an ironclad black powder coat — that guards against corrosion inside and out and keeps the hitch looking sharp. This model is Class IV rated and, like every Tow & Stow, tested for strength and endurance to SAE J684, the current bumper-pull hitch standard. B&W builds them start-to-finish in Humboldt, Kansas — 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 10,000 lbs, while the 2" ball is rated 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 (it has two pin-hole positions for length adjustment — sliding it in as far as possible is best for strength and theft resistance), 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.
• Ground clearance: With the deep 9" drop, pay close attention to ground clearance — striking curbs, steep driveways, or obstacles can damage the hitch and affect its integrity.
• 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.

What's Included

• (1) B&W Tow & Stow adjustable ball mount, 2" shank, 9" drop / 9.5" rise, black finish (part TS10043B)
• (3) Sets of stainless steel pins and clips, including the securing slide pin

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 — especially given the deep drop's exposure to ground strikes.
• 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.
• Accident/misuse: Damage from accidents or misuse isn't a defect claim.

Terms to Know

• Drop: How far the ball sits *below the receiver opening — needed when your truck's receiver is higher than the trailer coupler. A 9" drop is the deepest offering, for tall lift kits; most standard vehicles use 3", with 5" and 7" for progressively taller trucks.
• Rise: The ball positioned *above the receiver, achieved by inverting the Tow & Stow (9.5" rise on this model).
• 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.
  
• SAE J684: The industry test standard for strength and endurance of bumper-pull hitches; every Tow & Stow is tested to it.
