Nilight Forged Trailer Hitch Mount with 2-5/16" Ball — 2" Receiver, 4" Drop, 15,000 lb Capacity

Nilight's forged trailer hitch mount with a 2-5/16" ball fits a 2" receiver and delivers up to 15,000 lbs gross trailer weight with a durable gloss black finish.

This heavy-duty ball mount is built for towing larger trailers, campers, motorcycles and ATVs from a standard 2" receiver. Forged construction and a two-stage corrosion-resistant finish combine strength with weather protection, while the included 5/8" pin and clip make it ready to install. The 4" drop and 8-1/2" overall length suit many tow setups that require a lower ball height without adapters.

How strong is this Nilight hitch for towing heavy trailers?

The forged design supports a gross trailer weight rating of up to 15,000 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of 1,500 pounds when used with the ball installed. These capacities are governed by the mount's construction and the installed hardware, but always verify your vehicle and trailer ratings before towing.

• Gross trailer weight: up to 15,000 lbs
• Tongue weight: up to 1,500 lbs (with ball in place)
• Forged steel body for improved fatigue resistance
• Designed for heavy trailers, campers, motorcycles and ATVs

Will this ball mount fit my vehicle and trailer ball?

The shank measures 2" x 2" to fit any standard 2-inch receiver tube, and the ball is 2-5/16" in diameter, which is a common size for larger trailers. The 5/8" hitch pin hole accepts the included hitch pin and clip for secure attachment.

• Shank size: 2" x 2" standard receiver fit
• Trailer ball diameter: 2-5/16" for larger couplers
• Pin hole: 5/8" with pin and clip included
• Overall length: 8-1/2" and 4" drop for lowered ball height

How durable is the finish and will it resist corrosion?

Nilight applies a two-stage protective process: an E-coat pre-coating followed by a high-grade textured black powder coat to protect the steel from rust and abrasion. The trailer ball itself is chrome plated for additional corrosion resistance where metal meets coupler contact.

• E-coat base layer for uniform corrosion protection
• Textured black powder coat for abrasion resistance
• Polished chrome-plated trailer ball to resist rust
• Finish helps longevity in wet and road-salt environments

Is installation straightforward and are any accessories included?

Yes — installation is simple: slide the 2" shank into your vehicle's receiver, align the 5/8" hole, and secure with the supplied pin and clip. No extra hardware is required for basic mounting, and the rounded shank eases insertion into the receiver tube.

• Insert 2" shank into receiver and align pin hole
• Use included 5/8" pin and clip for a secure fit
• Rounded shank eases alignment and insertion
• No additional adapters needed for standard 2" receivers

Who is this for: This Nilight forged hitch ball mount is aimed at vehicle owners who tow medium to heavy loads and need a robust, corrosion-resistant mount that fits a standard 2" receiver. It suits RV owners lowering a trailer tongue, contractors hauling heavy trailers, and outdoor enthusiasts transporting motorcycles or ATVs who prefer a ready-to-install, heavy-duty solution.
