180 Hitch 10in Drop w/ 2.5in Shank

The WEIGH SAFE 180 Hitch 10in Drop w/ 2.5in Shank is a heavy-duty ball mount hitch designed for serious hauling and towing applications where precision alignment and load capacity matter. Built for truck owners and equipment operators who demand reliability under extreme stress, this hitch accommodates both 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch ball couplers, making it compatible with a wide range of trailers and towing vehicles. The 180-degree design offers maximum flexibility in configuration, allowing you to position your towing setup exactly where you need it for optimal weight distribution and handling.

Engineered with a 10-inch drop measurement and a 2.5-inch shank, this mount delivers the geometry necessary for level towing on vehicles with varying ride heights—critical for maintaining stable trailer dynamics and preventing sway. The aluminum and stainless steel construction resists corrosion while keeping overall weight at a manageable 23.12 lbs, important for preserving your vehicle's payload capacity. With dual weight ratings of 8,000 lbs (vertical) and 18,500 lbs (combined), this hitch handles serious loads from utility trailers to car haulers. The keyed-alike security feature ensures your ball remains locked in place during transport, eliminating the risk of accidental separation—a standard you should never compromise on for safety-critical towing equipment.

This WEIGH SAFE hitch excels for mechanics, fleet operators, and dedicated truck enthusiasts who manage multiple trailers or frequently change towing configurations. Installation requires a standard 2.5-inch receiver tube, found on most modern full-size trucks and heavy-duty vehicles. The drop height is particularly valuable if your trailer coupler sits significantly higher or lower than your receiver height, ensuring you avoid the common pitfalls of improper tongue weight distribution. Proper setup with this hitch contributes directly to improved braking response, reduced sway, and extended tire life on both tow vehicle and trailer—making it an investment in both safety and longevity.
