Hi there, trailer owners. Today, we're going to be taking a look at Tow Ready's Interchangeable Ball Set. These sets are available in a three ball set like we're showing off here today with a 1 inch shank. You can also get the 1 inch shank in a two ball set with either the two smaller balls or the two larger balls. Three possible ball sizes you can get are 1-7/8 inch, 2 inch, or a 2-5/16 inch. Then, there's also a 3/4 inch shank available, but that one's only going to be available with the two smaller balls, the 2-5/16 ball is not compatible with the 3/4 inch shank.

But, if you're planning on maybe getting more trailers or maybe upgrading to a larger one, or just getting a small one to put some things around the house, and you had maybe the large two ball set, but now you need a small one. Or again, you get the larger trailer hitch you need later, you just get the three ball set and that way you've got everything covered that you could ever need for any bumper pull style trailer.Gave you some examples of how versatile this kit is. Our 7/8 inch ball here is going to be great for smaller trailers if you've got just maybe a little utility trailer or something like this. We've got a kayak trailer here we can load up with a couple of kayaks and hit the Lake for the weekend. Once we get back from the Lake, we can load up the horses and take them to show in our larger trailer with the 2-5/16 inch ball.Now it's time to get some work done.

I've put on the 2 inch ball and we're going to go ahead and hook up our utility trailer so we can make some bread. As you can see this ball's not only going to save you time. It's going to save you money and space in your truck because we only need to buy one set to be able to hook up to all these different trailers instead of having to buy multiple draw bars and multiple balls. Or, if you're trying to save a little money and you bought multiple balls, but just have one draw bar, you have to torque this ball each time. That's a lot of your time you're wasting.

With this, it's super quick to change out to another one.Issues that can arise with a system like this is that your trailers might be different heights, so you could have multiple draw bars. That's one option, but another great option is to get an adjustable draw bar and have an adjustable ball set. Then, you can hook up to just about anything quickly and easily, and you've only got these two components then that you can store in your truck without taking up a bunch of space with multiple balls and draw bars.Here you can see how the balls are held in place. The smaller balls here will extend out, locking the ball in. You can see right now they just press right in, and that allows the ball to slide right down on it nice and easy.

When you press down on the pin and it locks into place, the balls can no longer be pressed in, they're out. That engages into the groove that's down inside the ball, preventing it from coming off. We're going to go ahead and unlock it. We'll slide on the ball size that we need, and then just press it down. There is an actual little turn that occurs when you press it. It kind of does it automatically when you push it down and then just slightly clockwise, it turns and it locks into place. When you go to unlock it, it turns slightly counter-clockwise and it kind of does it by itself. It's pretty fluid. Every now and then I feel like I have to put just a little bit of motion with my hand in it.You'll notice there's also a slot here in the top, and that's nice in case you've been using your ball several times now with the same ball on it, you haven't really needed to switch out in a while. A lot of dirt and debris might've gotten down inside of here, and that might make it difficult to just push the button by hand. You can easily put a screwdriver in the slot, press down and twist it, so that way you can get your ball off and then you can clean out that gunk if you've had it on here for a really long time without swapping balls.We currently have the 1 inch shank, three ball kit installed. With the 1 inch shank, regardless of which ball you've got installed, you're going to have an 800 pound tongue weight, which is the force going down on top of your receiver here on top
