B&W Hitches 2.5" Receiver Triple Ball -- 1-7/8" / 2" / 2-5/16" B&W Tow & Stow TS20050B -- Adjustable Folding Ball Mount for 2.5" Receivers

Stop swapping ball mounts every time you hook up a different trailer. The B&W Tow & Stow TS20050B gives you all three common hitch ball sizes on a single adjustable, folding shank that disappears neatly under your bumper when you are not towing. Built for heavy-duty 2.5-inch receiver applications found on Class A motorhomes, large pickups, and HD tow vehicles.

One Mount, Every Trailer You Own

The Tow & Stow series is B&W's answer to the ball-mount juggling act that every RV owner knows too well -- camper trailer needs a 2-5/16" ball, the boat trailer needs a 2" ball, and the small utility trailer needs a 1-7/8" ball. The TS20050B solves all three without digging through the truck bed for the right mount.

Unlike a standard drop mount that sticks out and collects shin bruises, the Tow & Stow folds up against the receiver when unloaded. It also adjusts for both rise and drop, so you can level the tow vehicle-to-trailer connection regardless of your hitch height.

Three Balls, One Mount

Includes 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" forged steel hitch balls welded to a single rotating head -- no loose hardware to lose at the campground.

Folding Shank Design

The shank pivots up and locks flat when not towing, eliminating the dangerous protruding receiver stub that damages shins, bikes, and tow vehicles in parking lots.

Adjustable Rise and Drop

Multiple shank position settings let you dial in the correct ball height for a level trailer connection across a wide range of tow vehicle and trailer hitch heights.

Heavy-Duty 2.5" Receiver Fit

Sized for the 2.5-inch receiver tube found on Class A motorhomes, large HD pickups, and commercial tow vehicles where maximum tongue weight capacity is needed.

Who This Is Built For

The TS20050B is aimed squarely at Class A motorhome owners, fifth-wheel drivers who also tow a dinghy or utility trailer on a tow dolly, and heavy-duty pickup owners who regularly switch between multiple trailers. The 2.5-inch receiver is less common than the standard 2-inch, but it is the standard on most full-size Class A coaches and many HD truck packages.

If you tow a toad (dinghy vehicle) on a dolly that uses a 2-inch ball, then haul a boat or camper on a 2-5/16" coupler, this single mount handles both without any swaps.

Forged Steel Construction: B&W manufactures the Tow & Stow ball mount from forged steel -- not stamped or cast -- for maximum strength at the shank-to-head connection where stress concentrates during towing. The finish is a black powder coat over zinc plating for corrosion resistance in road-salt and rain conditions.

Adjustable Ball Height -- How It Works

The shank inserts into your 2.5-inch receiver tube and is secured with a standard hitch pin and clip (pin and clip are included). The mount head rotates to select the correct ball size, then locks in place. To fold, remove the hitch pin, pivot the shank upward, and re-pin in the stored position.

Rise and drop adjustment is achieved by flipping the shank to run either drop-down or rise-up depending on whether your trailer coupler sits below or above the receiver tube centerline. Consult the ball height markings on the shank to match your specific trailer-to-vehicle height differential.

Fitting the Right Ball to the Right Coupler:
  • 1-7/8" ball -- fits couplers rated up to approximately 3,500 lbs GTW, common on small utility and personal watercraft trailers
  • 2" ball -- fits couplers rated up to approximately 8,000 lbs GTW, common on mid-size boat trailers and tow dollies
  • 2-5/16" ball -- fits couplers rated up to 30,000 lbs GTW capacity couplers, standard on travel trailers, fifth-wheel conversion hitches, and large boat trailers

Where the TS20050B Fits in the Tow & Stow Lineup

B&W offers the Tow & Stow in multiple receiver sizes. The TS20050B is the 2.5-inch receiver version, which is the largest and highest-capacity model in the lineup. Comparable models for smaller receivers include:

  • Tow & Stow for 2" receiver -- fits standard Class C, Class B, and truck applications
  • Tow & Stow for 1-7/8" or 1-1/4" receivers -- fits lighter-duty applications

The TS20050B is specifically the black finish variant (the "B" suffix), matching most stock receiver tube finishes on coaches and dark-trimmed trucks.

Maintenance Tips:
  • Inspect the pivot pin and locking mechanism before every tow -- dirt and road debris can pack into the fold joint
  • Apply a light coat of grease to the hitch balls before each use to prevent coupler galling
  • Check for corrosion at the zinc-plated shank edges after winter storage or heavy salt exposure
  • Confirm the hitch pin is fully seated and clipped every time you switch ball positions or unfold the shank
Weight Rating Awareness: Tongue weight and gross trailer weight ratings depend on your specific vehicle's hitch receiver rating, NOT just the ball mount. Verify your tow vehicle's receiver rating before relying on the full capacity of this mount. The weakest link in the chain governs your legal and safe towing limit.

Important Information -- Read Before Installing
  • This mount requires a 2.5-inch (2-1/2") square receiver tube. It will NOT fit standard 2-inch receivers found on most light-duty trucks and Class C coaches without an adapter sleeve, and adapters are not recommended for maximum-capacity towing.
  • Always verify your tow vehicle's receiver tube rating, hitch rating, and GVWR before towing. The mount's capacity cannot exceed the lowest-rated component in the system.
  • The folding shank must be fully seated in the receiver and the hitch pin must be secured with the clip before towing. Never tow with the mount in the folded/stored position.
  • Confirm the correct hitch ball is locked and engaged before connecting your trailer coupler. An improperly engaged ball can disengage under load.
  • This product does not include weight distribution or sway control functionality. For trailers over 6,000 lbs GTW, a weight distribution system is strongly recommended by most hitch and vehicle manufacturers.
  • Product weight is 38.12 lbs -- use care when inserting and removing from the receiver, particularly at elevated receiver heights common on large motorhomes.
