Weigh Safe Drop Hitch with Built-In Scale & Keyed-Alike Locking Pin

The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch is the original adjustable trailer hitch with a built-in tongue weight scale, giving you an easy way to check your trailer's tongue weight every time you hook up.

Instead of using a separate tongue weight scale or making a trip to a weigh station, simply couple your trailer to the Weigh Safe ball mount. The trailer pushes down on the hitch ball, which transfers pressure through an internal hydraulic piston to the built-in gauge, giving you an immediate tongue weight reading.

Every hitch includes both a 2" and 2-5/16" stainless steel hitch ball, allowing you to switch between two of the most common trailer coupler sizes. A keyed-alike hitch locking pin and dual-pin lock assembly are also included, so the locking components can be operated with the same key.

Built-In Tongue Weight Scale

  • Integrated tongue weight scale helps you properly balance your trailer
  • Provides a tongue weight reading each time you couple your trailer
  • Helps you determine whether cargo should be repositioned before towing
  • Eliminates the need for a separate tongue weight scale

Billet Aluminum Construction

The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch is built from 6061-T6 billet aluminum for an excellent combination of strength, durability, and reduced weight.

  • Solid-block aluminum construction
  • Lightweight compared with many steel adjustable hitches
  • Rustproof aluminum construction
  • Designed for long-term towing use

Includes Both 2" and 2-5/16" Stainless Steel Hitch Balls

No need to choose between ball sizes. Every hitch includes both a 2" and 2-5/16" stainless steel hitch ball, giving you flexibility for different trailers and coupler sizes.

Keyed-Alike Locking System Included

The hitch includes a keyed-alike hitch locking pin and dual-pin lock assembly. The locking components use the same key, helping simplify your setup while securing both the hitch to the receiver and the adjustable slider assembly.

Why Tongue Weight Matters

Too little tongue weight can contribute to trailer sway, while excessive tongue weight can negatively affect the way your tow vehicle handles, steers, and brakes. The built-in Weigh Safe scale gives you a convenient way to check tongue weight before heading down the road and determine whether your load should be repositioned.
