Weigh Safe Fixed Height Ball Mount | Designed for use with 2" Receiver Hitch
Upgrade your towing equipment in your Diesel truck with the Weigh Safe Fixed Height Ball Mount Hitch. This hitch provides a 1,500 lbs max tongue weight and an overall GTW of 10,000 lbs and is constructed with solid bar aircraft grade aluminum alloy. The Weigh Safe Fixed Height Ball Mount is designed to function with all standard 2” receivers (as well as the 2. 5” and 3” hitch receivers with sleeve inserts/ receiver reducers installed).
WHAT IS TONGUE WEIGHT AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? - Tongue weight (TW) refers to the weight that the fully loaded trailer exerts downward on the hitch ball of the tow vehicle. Tongue weight is typically 10 percent - and should not exceed 15 percent - of your gross trailer weight. For example, a 10,000-lb trailer should have a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. You can adjust the tongue weight of your trailer by removing or adding cargo, or redistributing the load on the trailer. The tongue weight should not exceed the capacity of your tow vehicle, your hitch, or any of your towing components.
Simply put, too little tongue weight can cause trailer sway and too much tongue weight can cause the tow vehicle to perform poorly. You may have difficulty steering, gaining traction, or braking when driving a setup that has too much weight pushing down on the rear of the vehicle. Ultimately, towing with an improper tongue weight can cause you to lose control of your vehicle or cause your trailer to separate from the vehicle.
