What components are included and what are their key specs?

The kit includes an 8" long powder-coated ball mount, a chrome-plated 2" hitch ball with a 1" shank, and a 5/8" pin with clip. The ball mount provides a maximum 2" drop and a 3/4" rise to fit a range of trailer coupler heights.

How durable is the construction and how does it resist corrosion?

MAXXHAUL builds this kit from heavy-duty welded steel and applies a black powder coat that protects against rust and abrasion. The hitch ball itself is solid forged and chrome-plated to resist surface corrosion while preserving a smooth contact area for the trailer coupler.

• Welded steel for high structural strength
• Weather-resistant black powder coat on ball mount
• Solid forged hitch ball with chrome polish finish
• Pin and clip designed for secure, long-lasting connection

Will this fit my vehicle and trailer setup?

This kit fits standard 2" x 2" Class III and IV hitch receivers commonly installed on trucks, SUVs, and some vans. Because tongue weight and GTW are limited by both the vehicle and trailer, confirm both manufacturers' ratings before towing.

• Fits 2" x 2" hitch receivers (Class III & IV)
• Verify vehicle and trailer towing capacities first
• Adjust ball mount drop/rise to match coupler height
• Secure pin and clip through receiver for safe towing
