Towball Mount 160MM Drop 2500KG- In store

The Towball Mount 160MM Drop 2500KG from Hayman Reese (model 21168) is purpose-built for reliable, level towing when your vehicle sits higher than standard. With a robust 2,500 kg capacity and a precisely engineered 160 mm drop, this mount keeps your trailer aligned and tracking smoothly on the road—even on taller SUVs, lifted builds, or caravanning setups.

• Capacity: 2,500 kg gross trailer weight
• Drop: 160 mm
• Ball to Pin length: 217 mm
• Tow Ball Shank diameter: 7/8"
• TBM shank length: 200 mm
• Pin to Rear: 83 mm

Why a 160 mm drop matters

When your tow vehicle sits higher than the standard hitch, a shallower mount can place the trailer hitch nose high, leading to backward loading issues, uneven wear, and unpredictable handling. The 160 mm drop corrects the hitch geometry, delivering a level connection that improves stability during acceleration and braking and promotes consistent trailer tracking across varied road surfaces.

Who should consider this model

• Trailer owners with high-ride-height vehicles (tall SUVs, lifted builds) seeking dependable, level towing
• Caravans and larger trailers that require precise alignment for predictable handling
• Flow-through tow systems or setups where a specific ball-to-pin distance and shank fit matter for safe operation

This 21168 variant offers a compact, durable solution that provides steady performance under demanding towing conditions while staying practical for everyday use. The combination of a 217 mm ball-to-pin distance and a 7/8" shank ensures a secure connection and repeatable results, so you can tow with confidence on hills, winding roads, and highway currents alike.

How it compares to other drops

A higher hitch height can translate into a higher trailer hitch during travel, which, if uncorrected, may lead to reduced control and increased wear. The 160 mm drop minimizes these risks by delivering the right geometry for level towing, improved weight distribution, and enhanced stability across varied loads and terrains.

Practical tips for optimal results

• Verify compatibility with your hitch receiver and confirm you’re using a 7/8" tow ball for this drop variant.
• During installation, ensure the TBM shank (200 mm) seats fully in the receiver and the pin-to-rear clearance (83 mm) allows smooth operation without contact with the vehicle.
• After hookup, check the trailer coupler alignment to confirm level towing and adjust as needed for road conditions or load distribution.
• Regularly inspect the mount for wear or corrosion and service per the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines to preserve performance.
