This TAG tow ball mount with a 254 mm overall length and 88 mm drop gets your trailer sitting level behind a lifted rig or loaded ute. The 50 mm square hitch section fits standard Aussie receiver towbars, so you can swap it in when your camper or box trailer needs that extra drop. The tongue sits roughly 114 mm forward from the bend to clear rear bars and trailer handbrakes.

The steel tongue is about 20 mm thick and rated for up to 350 kg tow ball download, so it handles typical camper and work trailer setups across corrugations. A 16.5 mm tow ball hole matches standard 50 mm balls, and the shank length of around 259 mm keeps the pin hole well supported inside the hitch. The black coated finish helps the steel stand up to stone spray, road grime and coastal air year after year.

Q: What size tow ball fits this TAG tow ball mount?

This mount suits a standard 50mm tow ball with a 16.5mm shank. The tongue plate is drilled with a 16.5mm diameter hole to match common 50mm balls sold in Australia. Just match your ball rating to your towbar and trailer ratings. Always torque the tow ball nut to the manufacturer specification and re-check after the first few tows.

Q: Can I use this tow ball mount in both drop and rise positions?

This mount can physically be inserted either way, but it is rated for use in the specified drop orientation with an 88mm offset. The geometry and stated 350kg down load are based on the drop setup shown in the diagram. Using it in rise may reduce bumper or door clearance. Always follow the towbar and vehicle manufacturer guidelines for orientation.

Q: What towing capacity does the 350kg down load rating relate to?

The 350kg figure is a maximum vertical tow ball down load rating, not the trailer ATM. Your actual towing capacity will be limited by the lowest rating across the towbar, vehicle, tow ball and trailer. For example, a vehicle rated to 2500kg towing and 250kg down load must stay within those numbers. Always check the compliance plate on your towbar and vehicle handbook.

Q: Does the black coating mean the mount is corrosion-proof?

The black coating offers added resistance to surface corrosion but does not make the mount completely corrosion-proof. Stone strikes, deep scratches and constant salt exposure can still allow rust to form over time. Rinsing with fresh water after beach work helps. Touching up damaged areas with suitable paint will also slow corrosion and extend service life.
