50 mm Ball Hitch 2-Inch Support 5000 lbs

50 mm ball coupler: the complete kit for towing without improvisation

A 50 mm ball coupler is not a part to be jerry-rigged. This tongue support slides into a 2-inch receiver and comes ready to use: the ball is mounted, the pin is included, all you have to do is insert it and secure it with a clip. Designed for a rated tow capacity of 5000 lbs, or approximately 2,268 kg, it transforms a bare receiver into a functional trailer coupler in less than a minute.

A 2-inch offset ball mount, and why this offset matters

The bar is angled with a 2-inch downward offset. This detail makes all the difference in use: it compensates for the height difference between the vehicle's receiver and the trailer tongue, leveling the whole assembly. A trailer that drives crooked wears out its tires, wanders during braking, and strains the trailer ball mount. With the right offset, the tongue remains horizontal and the vehicle's straight-line handling returns to neutral.

The black finish covers the steel along its entire length, down to the base of the ball. This is the area exposed to rain, winter salt, and road spray: on a car trailer coupler, this is always where corrosion begins. The ball head itself remains smooth to allow the trailer tongue socket to pivot freely.

• 50 mm or 2-inch ball coupler — two diameters to choose from depending on your trailer tongue.
• Maximum load 5000 lbs — approximately 2,268 kg as rated by the manufacturer.
• 5/8-inch trailer pin included — nothing else to buy to lock the mount in place.
• 2-inch downward offset — to level the tongue horizontally.
• Mounts in a 2-inch receiver — the most common standard on cargo trailers.
• Ready-to-use kit — bar, ball, and pin delivered together.

Mounting this ball mount on your trailer receiver

The principle is straightforward: insert the bar into the 2-inch square receiver tube, align the holes, insert the 5/8 pin, and secure it with the clip. No drilling, no welding. Before the first trip, check that the chosen ball diameter matches your trailer tongue socket: a 50 mm ball coupler and a 2-inch ball (50.8 mm) are not interchangeable without play. Compatibility with your vehicle depends on the installed receiver — check this before installation.

50 mm or 2 inches: which ball coupler should you choose?

In Europe, almost all trailers, motorcycle trailers, and caravans use a 50 mm tow ball. The 2-inch size, or 50.8 mm, comes from the North American market and is found on imported equipment. The best method: measure your trailer tongue socket or read the stamped marking on it, then choose the corresponding version. A half-millimeter difference creates play that clunks with every start-up, and over time wears out the ball coupler head.

Order your coupler from Becquet Voiture, in French and without any guesswork

Towing is one of those areas where precision takes precedence over sales talk: diameter, offset, receiver size, rated load. We detail every dimension so you can compare it with your equipment before confirming, and our car towing accessories are described using only the data confirmed by the manufacturer. No made-up promises, just figures.

Measure your tongue, choose 50 mm or 2 inches, and get back on the road with a coupler ready to tow.
