[@HandyGuy2016]

Seems like it

[@mikelieberman27]

Ordered a 7” for my stock 2020 chevy 2500. Returned for a 5”. Had 11.5” clearence without a load so too tight on threshold for clearence on the 7” so 5 works for all my trailers. Is a tri ball too

[@woofman4796]

i've had my 7 inch drop tri ball b & w hitch for 6 years now, today i ordered a 5 inch pin mount drop , i'm going to swap out my 7 inch drop, pulling our cargo trailer with our atv, plus all our camping gear, water barrels for cooking/showers, my suspension squats more then i thought it would. i could've got the 5 inch years ago and swapped it,, but as you know, life gets in the way sometimes, so today i finally said to hell with it and called b & w , they are shiping it out tomorrow, i'm in west central florida, so hopefully by saturday,, anyway,, in my humble opinion, they are the absolute best hitch you can buy,

[@HandyGuy2016]

Awesome 😎

[@woofman4796]

@@HandyGuy2016 hopefully my post made sense, i have a 2016 silverado 1500 z71 off road edition, the rear suspension is stiff-ish, but it still squats with 3 barrels of water in the bed, a 1000 lb atv in the trailer etc, i didn't think of all that when i bought mine,, so that's why i finally called them today and bought the 5 inch drop, the tri ball assembly will come off, that's what that notch is for just under the receiver tube,, anyway,, stay safe ,,

[@HandyGuy2016]

I can picture that, you stay safe as well.

[@trevizolawncare7871]

Nice! Ive been looking for a new hitch.

[@HandyGuy2016]

I'm really liking it so far.

[@msyotaboy]

Did your B&W hitch come standard with the Locking pin? Mine did not. I wonder if I got screwed

[@HandyGuy2016]

I purchased the locking pin separately, mine did not come with it.

[@dougmead7669]

What is the drop distance between the ball and hitch? Or as level as you can be? I just got a BassPro bass boat and trailer and have a U Haul hitch and it is a major BCH! to keep straight when backing up! One video I watched said if the hitch is too high or low, it can have a major effect on towing. I have watched a billion U2 videos on backing up a trailor, blah, blah, blah. I did notice when backing out of my drive, I had to be dead on straight to get my trailer to pivot the way I wanted it to go. Am I missing something here?

[@HandyGuy2016]

Hitch height should be adjusted so that your trailer is even front to back or just slightly higher in the front. Slightly meaning an inch higher if not even.

[@connorbarnett7494]

After a year would you recommend this htich? I also have a lawn care business I tow a 5x12 trailer stock f150

[@HandyGuy2016]

Definitely, I am very happy with it. I tow an 8x20 enclosed lawn care trailer and a 7x16 dump trailer with no issues.

[@connorbarnett7494]

@@HandyGuy2016 awesome thanks man, I’ll definitely be purchasing now

[@jacksondaniels8169]

How did you determine your rise and drop size?

[@HandyGuy2016]

Park by your trailer hitch, with the trailer setting level and measure from the hitch on the truck up or down to your trailer hitch.

[@DamonDowning1]

2018 F250 all factory here and I have a 7” drop. 👌

[@fordtruck4x4fx4]

Currently fighting a bent pin on the ball flip.. driving it out isn’t working so great

[@HandyGuy2016]

That sucks 😔

[@fordtruck4x4fx4]

@@HandyGuy2016 all I needed always a bigger hammer. 8 pound sledge moved it. Now just need to pick up a new one. I figure a hitch pin from the farm store should work fine.

[@alexchilders3325]

Is your truck lifted or all stock?

[@HandyGuy2016]

Stock

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey I like it but like other comment was you need lock pins so no one steals it.

[@HandyGuy2016]

Agree 💯

[@doncherney8649]

Someone is going to walk off with your pins. Need locking ones.

[@HandyGuy2016]

Agree 💯

[@braysonrich123]

Is this the 3” drop or 5” drop?

[@HandyGuy2016]

5"

[@lb7wade518]

Need locks on all the pins!!!

[@HandyGuy2016]

I agree 💯

[@bertbrigham5973]

Why?

[@sputnik9708]

Your wife called, she wants her gloves back.

[@HandyGuy2016]

The 90's called, they want their joke back 😂

[@Starch-Wreck]

@@HandyGuy2016 Of course they called. They couldn’t text in the 90s.

[@davidbeau6715]

looks easy for thieves to take

[@HandyGuy2016]

It would be, I recommend locking pins. Not an issue in my area, but I know it is in other places.
