2in Adjustable Shank Pintle

The 2in Adjustable Shank Pintle is a heavy-duty hitch mount engineered for serious towing applications where reliability and load capacity are non-negotiable. As a mechanic who has installed countless trailer systems, this component represents the backbone of any modern recovery, commercial, or recreational towing setup. Built for truck owners, fleet operators, and off-road enthusiasts who demand robust coupling hardware, the adjustable shank design accommodates varied trailer heights without sacrificing structural integrity or safety margins.

This pintle mount features a 2-inch hitch receiver connection and a 10-1/2 inch overall length, delivering a 20,000 pound towing capacity that handles full-size trailers, utility equipment, and industrial loads with confidence. The adjustable shank mechanism allows vertical height adjustment without tools or additional hardware—critical when matching trailers of different frame heights. Constructed from steel with a durable black powder-coat finish, the pintle resists corrosion and road salt degradation far better than bare or painted alternatives. The SecureLatch mechanism provides positive coupling engagement, preventing accidental disconnection during transit and ensuring repeatable, secure connections across multiple hookup cycles.

This pintle works best for operators managing multiple trailers or running variable-height equipment—construction crews, agricultural operations, and serious off-roaders will appreciate the rapid adjustment feature that eliminates the need for spacer plates or shim kits. Installation is straightforward: the 2-inch shank slides directly into any standard Class III or Class IV hitch receiver with a 2-inch opening. The 20-pound weight adds minimal unsprung mass while the compact footprint preserves rear-end clearance and departure angles on lifted or lowered trucks. Whether you're pulling a horse trailer, equipment hauler, or recovery rig, this adjustable shank pintle delivers the adjustability and strength professional towing demands.
