 Reese interchangable ball kit #74309 Nov 02, 2009
Ease of changing ball size makes this a valuable tool. One suggestion for users is to put white lithium grease (available at most auto parts and hardware stores) on the retainers. This will make changing ball sizes much easier.
When used properly, this is a good buy. Aug 12, 2009
Some other reviewer complained that the max tow was only 8000 lbs, when he expected 10,000. Here's the thing -- if anyone's trying to tow upwards of 8000 lbs, you need a class IV hitch which requires a bigger ball shaft and is designed for higher tongue weights. I've seen too many unsafe trailer setups on my travels, so buy what you need and don't try to overload the design. That being said, this set is fine for me as I frequently need to change ball sizes for different loads. I couldn't find the 3 ball set anywhere locally, so Amazon was a good choice. The only thing preventing a 4-star rating is the "made in China" label. I'm just fed up with nearly everything we buy being made offshore. It looks well made, however, and should last a good long time.

After contacting Reese on this I would change it to a 1 Star if I could. They started passing the buck to the fact that this is a "TowPower" part not a Reese part and they have no control. The part number has been discontinued by Reese and it is now rated at 8,000 pounds even though the website and this listing state 10,000 pounds.
Be careful with this product and always make sure you have one ball attached to ensure that the retaining ball bearings to not fall out while it is in storage. I took a look at the other day and one of the ball bearings that acts as a retainer is missing. I will be contacting Reese for a replacement. The concerning thing is that I had not even used the hitch ball once when I noticed this problem.
Get This!! Jan 07, 2009
We have several different trailers (boat, jetskis, snowmobiles, etc) and I used to get so tired of having to get the pipe wrenches out to switch balls or having to have two or 3 stingers with different balls mounted on them just to have the right one when you need it.
I've seen many other multi-ball hitch systems, but this clever product works great, is well-built, all at a great price! Switching the balls is easy, and the unit is very tough and strong. One suggestion, when not in use it's a good idea to stow it inside your truck and/or keep it well lubricated. We live in Oregon (can you say RAIN....), and I left it on mounted on our truck last winter while we were down in Mexico. When we came back in the Spring, the push-button detent used to switch the balls was a little stiff as some corrosion had formed, but a quick couple of sprays with WD-40 took care of it and it works great once again.
This is a great product--wish we'd bought one years ago!!!

More than a hitch: scultped perfection! Dec 29, 2008
I purchased this hitch because it provides tool-free ball changes for all three sizes (1.875", 2" and 2.3125") and with the exception of the removable balls there are no parts that can be lost (pins). What I failed to anticipate was the aesthetic appeal of this hitch. Its simple and functional design is elegant. Its clean machined lines are beautiful. Only down side: I'm not sure my humble little fleet of trailers is worthy . . . ;-)
