The B&W Hitches Tow & Stow line is the gold standard for adjustable ball mounts among serious towers -- and the TS10063BMP is built for the heaviest-duty 2.5-inch receiver applications. Its pivoting shank folds away when not in use, eliminating the shin-busting, bumper-clearing hazard of a fixed ball mount sticking out the back of your truck or RV. Set your rise or drop once, lock it in, and tow with confidence knowing your balls are at the right height every time.
If you tow a fifth wheel, gooseneck, or a heavy travel trailer, you already know that getting ball height right is critical -- too high and your trailer pitches nose-up, too low and you stress every component in the system. The TS10063BMP solves that with multiple height-adjustment positions on a stout forged steel shank, letting you dial in the exact drop or rise your trailer needs.
What sets B&W's Tow & Stow apart from a standard adjustable mount is the patented pivoting design. When you're done towing, the shank rotates up and out of the way -- no removing the mount, no leaving a steel spike hanging off your hitch, no liability in a parking lot. This is especially valuable for RV owners and full-timers who leave a receiver-equipped truck or motorhome hitched up at a campsite for days at a time.
Shank rotates up and locks away when not towing -- eliminates the hazard of a fixed ball mount protruding from your hitch at shin and bumper height.
Adjustable drop and rise settings let you match ball height precisely to your trailer coupler -- no guessing, no shimming, no bent tongue.
B&W forges the shank and head from high-strength steel for a superior grain structure compared to cast alternatives -- rated for the loads your 2.5-inch receiver was designed to pull.
Black powder coat resists chipping, rust, and road grime -- holds up to the UV exposure, salt spray, and gravel that come with trailering season after season.
B&W offers the Tow & Stow series across multiple receiver sizes (1.25-inch, 2-inch, and 2.5-inch) and ball configurations (single ball, dual ball, and tri-ball). The TS10063BMP is designed specifically for 2.5-inch receivers -- the heavy-duty receivers found on one-ton trucks (Ram 3500, Ford F-450, Chevy Silverado 3500HD), commercial chassis RVs, and Class A diesel pushers equipped with a supplemental tow hitch.
The "BMP" suffix designates the Black Powder Coat finish with a specific ball/drop configuration. Other TS-series variants differ in finish (chrome), ball diameter, or receiver size -- so confirm the TS10063BMP matches your receiver opening before ordering.
The TS10063BMP inserts into a standard 2.5-inch square receiver tube. Verify your hitch receiver opening before purchase -- 2-inch and 2.5-inch openings look similar but are NOT interchangeable. A 2.5-inch mount will not seat securely in a 2-inch receiver.
Compatible platforms include:
Measure from the ground to the center of your trailer coupler, then measure from the ground to the center of your hitch receiver tube. The difference is your required drop or rise. B&W's multiple hole positions let you fine-tune from there. A level trailer -- checked side to side and front to back -- is the goal. Most travel trailers and fifth wheels tow best when the trailer frame is within 1 inch of level.
Installation is straightforward -- slide the shank into your 2.5-inch receiver tube, align the pin hole, insert the provided hitch pin (or your own 5/8-inch locking hitch pin), and secure with the clip or lock. Adjust the ball head to your required height position and torque the adjustment hardware to B&W's specified values. No drilling, no welding, no modification to your vehicle required.
