The METOWARE Adjustable Drop Hitch delivers serious towing capability for trucks, SUVs, and off-road rigs. It fits standard 2-inch receivers and handles up to 14,000 LBS GTW. This aluminum drop hitch is a versatile, security-forward upgrade for any towing setup.

Like-new condition — no scratches or visible wear on the anodized aluminum body or chrome ball heads. Missing the User manual / instruction sheet — see product photos for all included hardware.

The adjustable shank is the heart of this hitch. It provides 8 inches of drop and 8 inches of rise. Increments are spaced exactly 1 inch apart. That means you can precisely level any trailer you haul. No need to own multiple hitch setups for different vehicles. One adjustable hitch handles them all. The shank slides smoothly into the receiver tube. Milled rounded corners make insertion effortless every time. The locking pin mechanism is tight and rattle-free. Height changes take seconds in the field. This level of adjustability is rare at this price point.

The dual-ball mount head is a standout feature of this towing system. Two chrome steel balls are mounted on opposite ends of the head. The larger 2-5/16-inch ball supports loads up to 12,500 lbs. The smaller 2-inch ball handles up to 8,000 lbs. You simply rotate or flip the head to select the correct ball. This dual-ball design eliminates the need for a separate ball mount entirely. Both balls have a polished chrome finish that resists corrosion. The head is machined from solid aluminum billet. It attaches securely to the shank with a stainless steel hitch pin. The integrated design keeps the overall assembly compact and lightweight.

Security is a top priority in this aluminum hitch system. Two stainless steel barrel locks are included in the kit. Both locks use the same key — a true keyed-alike convenience system. One lock secures the hitch shank to the vehicle receiver. The second lock secures the ball head height adjustment position. An additional safety R-clip pin provides redundant retention for the shank. Together, these three security points guard against theft and accidental disconnection. Stainless steel construction means the lock cylinders resist rust and weather. The one-key system means fewer keys on your ring. These security features make this hitch suitable for overnight parking and long hauls alike.

The aluminum construction sets this hitch apart from heavier steel competitors. Premium-grade aluminum with an advanced anodized finish is used throughout. The anodized surface resists rust, water, and corrosion in harsh environments. Compared to steel, the aluminum body saves significant weight on your receiver. Less tongue weight from the hitch itself means more payload capacity for your load. The finish holds up well against road grime, salt spray, and UV exposure. Milled rounded corners ensure smooth, burr-free insertion every time. The overall build quality is clearly evident in photos and in hand. This is not a stamped or cast product — precision machining is visible throughout.

Compatibility is extremely broad with this adjustable towing hitch. It fits any standard 2-inch receiver on trucks, SUVs, vans, and campers. Agricultural machines and off-road vehicles with 2-inch receivers are also supported. The 8-inch drop depth accommodates lifted trucks towing low trailers. The 8-inch rise height works for lowered vehicles towing taller trailers. Boat trailers, utility trailers, RV fifth-wheel setups, and horse trailers are all compatible load types. The 14,000 LBS GTW structural rating covers the vast majority of recreational and commercial towing scenarios. This hitch is designed to replace a drawer full of single-purpose ball mounts. One purchase solves nearly every towing height challenge you will encounter.

The included accessory kit is complete and accounted for in this listing. Stainless steel hitch lock pins, hitch pin clips (R-clips), rubber O-rings, and the dual keyed barrel locks are all present. Every item visible in the product photos is included with your purchase. The O-rings help reduce noise and vibration at the receiver connection point. R-clips serve as backup retention for the shank pins. All hardware is stainless or zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. The kit arrives ready to install — no additional hardware purchases are needed. Explore our Automotive Collection for more towing, hauling, and vehicle accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: What receiver size does this adjustable hitch fit?

Answer 1: This hitch is designed specifically for standard 2-inch receiver tubes. That is the most common receiver size found on full-size trucks, SUVs, minivans, and campers. It is not compatible with 1-1/4-inch or 2-1/2-inch receivers without an adapter sleeve.

Question 2: How much weight can this drop hitch safely tow?

Answer 2: The hitch has a structural Gross Trailer Weight rating of 14,000 LBS. The 2-5/16-inch ball is rated for up to 12,500 lbs of trailer weight. The 2-inch ball supports trailers up to 8,000 lbs — always match your ball size to your trailer coupler rating.

Question 3: Can this hitch provide both a drop and a rise position?

Answer 3: This adjustable hitch accommodates both drop and rise configurations using the same shank. The shank inserts in one orientation for up to 8 inches of drop, and reverses for up to 8 inches of rise. Adjustment is made in 1-inch increments across the full range, giving you precise trailer leveling flexibility for nearly any vehicle-trailer combination.

Question 4: Are both locks operated by the same key?

Answer 4: Both stainless steel barrel locks in this kit are keyed alike, meaning a single key operates them both. This is a deliberate convenience feature so you only need to manage one key for the entire hitch security system. The keyed-alike design makes it practical to lock both the receiver connection and the height adjustment without fumbling for multiple keys.

Question 5: Is the user manual included with this listing?

Answer 5: This specific unit is missing the User manual / instruction sheet — please refer to the product photos for a visual guide to the included hardware. Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with standard 2-inch receiver hitches. METOWARE's customer support and product documentation may also be accessible through the brand's official channels if needed.

The METOWARE adjustable drop hitch is an excellent choice for truck and SUV owners who tow multiple trailers. Whether you haul a boat on weekends or a utility trailer for work, this aluminum hitch adapts to every job. The 14,000 LBS GTW rating gives you confidence on demanding towing routes. Heavy-duty aluminum construction keeps the hitch light without sacrificing structural integrity.

Towing setups benefit enormously from an adjustable hitch over fixed-height alternatives. A properly leveled trailer improves fuel efficiency, tire wear, and brake performance. The 1-inch increment adjustment on this hitch makes it easy to dial in the perfect height. Both the drop and rise range are generous enough for lifted trucks and stock-height vehicles alike.

Security-minded towers will appreciate the dual keyed-alike stainless locks. Hitch theft is a real concern for anyone leaving a vehicle parked with a ball mount attached. The redundant locking system on this hitch addresses that risk directly. Stainless steel lock construction ensures reliable operation in rain, snow, and road salt environments.

This aluminum adjustable hitch is sold as-is in like-new condition at a significant discount from its original retail price. All functional hardware is included and ready for installation. It is an outstanding value for anyone seeking a premium towing solution without the full retail price tag.
