At Truck Outfitters here in West Bend, we’re all about helping your truck do more. Tow more. Haul more. Look cooler while doing it. And if you’re like most folks around here, you don’t want to mess around with junky gear when it’s time to hitch up and roll out.
That’s why we hand-pick every hitch and accessory we carry. If it ain’t tough, it ain’t on our shelves. And this week, we’re shining the spotlight on a few hitch-related must-haves that’ll get the job done, and then some.
1. B&W Tow & Stow Adjustable Ball Mount
Starting at $239
This adjustable ball mount is built like a tank and flexes like a gymnast.
- Adjustable Height: Helps you keep your trailer level, even when switching vehicles or trailer sizes.
- Stowable Design: Flip it under the vehicle when not in use to avoid shin-busting and rust.
- Dual Ball Sizes: Comes with 2″ and 2-5/16″ ball sizes for fast trailer swaps.
- Heavy-Duty Capacity: Tows up to 18,000 lbs GTW and 1,800 lbs TW.
- Built Tough: Made from American steel with a black powder coat finish.
- Made in Kansas: Proudly built in the USA.
Why it matters: Adjustable mounts are a game changer when your trailer lineup isn’t all the same height. This mount gives you the flexibility to get level, which improves towing safety and reduces strain on your hitch, frame, and trailer tongue. A level trailer also means better control, less sway, and more even tire wear.
Who it’s best for: Contractors, boat owners, landscapers, or anyone pulling more than one trailer throughout the week.
2. CURT Ball Mount 2-Inch Drop
Starting at $50.95
A no-fuss, get-it-done kind of hitch.
- 2″ x 2″ Receiver Fit: Works with most standard hitch receivers.
- Drop and Rise Options: 2″ drop or 3/4″ rise to keep things level.
- Solid Build: Rated for up to 7,500 lbs GTW and 750 lbs TW.
- Pre-Torqued Ball: Comes ready to go with a 2″ trailer ball installed.
- Rust Protection: Gloss black powder coat for long-term durability.
- Easy Install: Includes hitch pin and clip.
Why it matters: Most folks don’t need a fancy hitch. They need something safe, solid, and simple. The CURT mount checks those boxes and gives everyday haulers a reliable tool they can trust.
Pro tip: Check the height of your receiver and your trailer coupler before buying. This mount works great for trailers that sit close to your truck’s height.
3. Rock Tamer Mud Flaps
Starting at $389.99
Big flaps. Big protection. Zero nonsense.
- Adjustable Width: Fits rigs 67 1/4″ to 96 3/4″ wide.
- Monster Flaps: 24″ x 24″ and can be trimmed if needed.
- Tough Construction: Forged aluminum hubs and steel rods.
- Easy to Mount: Attaches to any 2″ ball mount.
- Trailer Protection: Keeps rocks and road junk from peppering your gear.
- Matte Black Finish: Sleek, rugged, and UV-protected.
Why it matters: Towing kicks up debris. That debris chips paint, cracks headlights, and shortens the life of your trailer. Rock Tamers act like a shield. You wouldn’t drive a convertible through a hailstorm. Don’t drag your $30,000 bass boat down a gravel road without protection.
How to Choose the Right Hitch Setup
Every truck and trailer combo is different. Here’s how to make sure you get the right gear:
- Know Your Numbers: Find the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and Tongue Weight (TW) of what you’re towing. Never guess.
- Measure Receiver Height and Coupler Height: This tells you the drop or rise you need for level towing.
- Pick the Right Ball Size: 1-7/8″, 2″, and 2-5/16″ are most common. Match it exactly to your trailer coupler.
- Choose Fixed or Adjustable: If you haul one trailer, fixed is fine. If you swap trailers, adjustable saves you headaches.
- Don’t Skip Accessories: Pins, clips, locks, wiring harnesses, weight distribution systems… we’ve got ’em.
