Orion Motor Tech 2" Trailer Hitch Ball Mount, 2" Receiver — 4" Drop (Reversible), 8,000 lb Rated

The Orion Motor Tech trailer hitch ball mount is a pre-assembled, 2" receiver hitch with a 4" drop (reversible to a 2.75" rise) rated for up to 8,000 lb GTW.

Designed for drivers who tow boats, campers, ATVs, and utility trailers, this Class III ball mount combines a standard 2" receiver with a 2" hitch ball to make hooking up simple and secure. Built-to-last materials and factory-tested strength mean you get dependable towing without guesswork: the unit meets SAE J684 testing and includes a zinc-plated 40Cr steel ball plus a powder-coated arm to resist corrosion and road wear.

How does the reversible drop/rise feature help with trailer alignment?

Flipping the mount lets you change the hitch height quickly so the trailer tongue rides level with your tow vehicle. Level towing reduces stress on the coupler and suspension and improves handling while towing.

• 4" drop for lower trailers and utility beds
• 2.75" rise when a higher hitch height is needed
• No additional adapters required—just invert the shank
• Simplifies matching many trailer tongue heights to your vehicle

Yes. The Orion Motor Tech ball mount is a Class III receiver rated for 8,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW), suitable for common heavy loads when used with appropriate vehicle and trailer setups. It has been tested to SAE J684 standards to ensure consistent performance under load.

What materials and finishes protect the hitch from corrosion?

The ball mount combines a powder-coated steel arm with a zinc-plated 40Cr steel ball to resist rust and abrasion from road salt, water, and debris. Regular cleaning keeps the finishes performing longer in coastal or winter conditions.

• Powder-coated arm for long-term chip and rust resistance
• Zinc-plated 40Cr steel ball for corrosion-resistant contact surface
• Solid construction that withstands frequent use

How easy is it to install and remove the mount?
