Class III Ball Mount 6000 lbs. GTW

The REESE Class III Ball Mount 6000 lbs. GTW is a heavy-duty hitch ball mount engineered for serious towing applications. Built to handle 6,000-pound gross towing weight, this mount features a 1-inch hitch receiver opening and delivers a 2-inch drop configuration, making it ideal for aligning ball height with trailers of varying coupler heights. The 16-inch length provides optimal weight distribution and clearance for off-road recovery, boat launches, equipment hauling, and commercial transport scenarios.

Constructed from high-strength steel with a black powder-coat finish, this ball mount resists corrosion and UV degradation in harsh outdoor environments. The specified 6,000-pound capacity rating reflects the maximum safe tongue weight and dynamic load the mount is rated to handle during towing. The 2-inch drop accommodates the geometry differences between receiver-height couplers and standard 2-inch ball mounts, reducing strain on both the towing vehicle and trailer frame. At 8.59 pounds, the mount is substantial enough to support serious payload without excessive flexing under load.

This Class III ball mount serves truck owners, fleet operators, and off-road enthusiasts who regularly tow utility trailers, equipment carts, fishing boats, or recovery loads. The drop configuration is particularly valuable for trucks with integrated receiver boxes, overland platforms, or lifted suspensions where standard ball mounts create unsafe trailer angles. Proper ball mount selection prevents trailer sway, hitch noise, and premature frame wear—making this REESE component a critical safety component for any serious towing operation.
