OMT Adjustable Trailer Hitch 2.5-inch Receiver

When a trailer sits at a different height from your truck, a fixed ball mount can leave you with a poor match. This OMT adjustable trailer hitch is designed for a 2.5-inch receiver and lets you change the mount height and rotate between two ball sizes.

That flexibility can be useful when your towing setup changes between a camper, boat, horse trailer, or utility trailer. The hitch is aimed at Class V vehicles and heavier towing setups.

The main fit check is easy to overlook: the combined thickness of the coupler cover and front flange needs to be under 0.5 inches for the coupler to sit fully on the ball.

Key points

The dual-ball design includes a 2-inch ball rated for 8,000 lb. and a 2-5/16-inch ball rated for 18,500 lb. The balls rotate 360 degrees, so you can switch sizes without taking the mount apart. The ratings are listed according to the maker, they do not, by themselves, confirm the capacity of your entire towing setup.

The mount slides up or down 6 inches to help match the trailer’s height. Three locking pins secure the hitch components, and rubber washers are intended to reduce rattle and bumps. Those details make it more adaptable than a basic fixed-height mount, but the receiver size and coupler clearance still determine whether it works for your setup.

Size & fit

This hitch fits standard 2.5-inch receivers on Class V vehicles. Before choosing it, check the receiver on your vehicle and the coupler dimensions on your trailer. Keep in mind that the coupler cover and front flange together must measure under 0.5 inches, or the coupler may not sit fully on the ball.

For a practical example, if you move between a trailer with a 2-inch coupler and one using a 2-5/16-inch ball, the rotating mount lets you select the matching ball and adjust the height rather than keeping separate fixed mounts for each setup. It makes sense if you need that kind of flexibility and your vehicle has the specified receiver. It might not be a great match if you have a different receiver size or the coupler does not clear the mount.

Tips for day-to-day use

Before hitching, select the ball size that matches the trailer coupler, set the mount height, and secure it with the included pins. Confirm that the coupler is fully seated and that the pins are locked before towing. When changing trailers, recheck both the ball size and height rather than assuming the previous setup still applies.

The locking pins add a theft-deterrent feature, but they should not be treated as a substitute for checking that the connection is correctly secured. The rubber washers may help limit rattling, though they do not change the need to inspect the hitch and connection before use.

Questions before you buy

What receiver size does it fit? It is made for standard 2.5-inch receivers on Class V vehicles.

Which ball sizes are included? The rotating dual-ball mount has a 2-inch ball and a 2-5/16-inch ball, with separate listed ratings of 8,000 lb. and 18,500 lb.

How much height adjustment is available? The mount slides up or down 6 inches. Check your trailer’s coupler height and clearance before relying on that adjustment to level the setup.

Is it worth it?

This hitch is worth considering if you tow different trailers, need both common ball sizes, and want height adjustment in one mount. The rotating design can save you from swapping between separate fixed mounts, while the three locking pins and rubber washers address security and rattle concerns.

The trade-off is that this is a specific fit, not a universal upgrade: it requires a 2.5-inch receiver, and the coupler clearance limit is important. If your current setup uses one trailer and one fixed height, a simpler fixed mount may be all you need. Choose this one when its adjustability and dual-ball format solve a real change in your towing routine.
