B&W Tow & Stow TS20037B – Adjustable Height, Dual Hitch Balls and Under-Bumper Storage

Built-In Anti-Theft Design

The Tow & Stow incorporates a retention design that helps prevent removal of the adjustable ball platform when the shank is properly secured in the receiver.

When used with a compatible locking receiver pin, the design adds a measure of theft resistance.

A locking hitch pin is a separate security consideration; the anti-theft design does not mean the complete ball mount is automatically locked to the vehicle.

High-Strength American-Made Steel

The TS20037B is constructed from steel and manufactured in the United States.

B&W designs the Tow & Stow for demanding towing applications where durability, adjustability, and convenient operation matter.

The hitch features a protective e-coat beneath a black powder-coated exterior, providing two layers of corrosion protection.

Chrome-finished hitch balls complete the assembly.

Regular inspection and maintenance remain important, especially after exposure to moisture, road salt, and heavy use.

Designed for Trucks with 2.5-Inch Receivers

The TS20037B features a 2.5-inch shank intended for a matching 2.5-inch receiver.

This size is commonly found on appropriately equipped heavy-duty pickup trucks.

Do not install the ball mount in a 2-inch receiver or assume that a 3-inch receiver adapter is acceptable without manufacturer approval.

Also verify rear bumper, tailgate, and ground clearance.

B&W specifically cautions that standard Tow & Stow models are not intended for certain GMC MultiPro and Chevrolet MultiFlex tailgate configurations. Those trucks may require a specialized Tow & Stow model.

Why Choose the B&W Tow & Stow Over a Fixed Ball Mount?

For truck owners who regularly switch between trailers, the adjustable height and dual-ball configuration can reduce the need to keep multiple ball mounts on hand.

How to Select the Correct Drop or Rise

Choosing the correct ball height helps keep the trailer level.

1. Park the tow vehicle and trailer on level ground.
2. Measure from the ground to the top of the truck’s receiver opening.
3. Measure from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is level.
4. Compare the measurements to determine the approximate drop or rise required.
5. Adjust the Tow & Stow and verify the final trailer attitude when connected and loaded.

A trailer that sits excessively nose-high or nose-low can negatively affect handling and load distribution.

If the required adjustment exceeds the TS20037B’s range, choose a different Tow & Stow configuration rather than improvising an extension.

Installation and Maintenance

The B&W Tow & Stow installs into a compatible 2.5-inch receiver without modifying the vehicle.

Insert the shank, align the appropriate receiver pin hole, and secure it using a correctly rated hitch pin or locking pin.

Set the ball platform to the required height and confirm that every adjustment pin and retaining clip is fully installed.

Before towing, verify that the selected ball matches the trailer coupler and that the coupler is properly latched.

For routine maintenance, B&W recommends keeping the stainless steel pins clean and applying white lithium grease to help prevent seizing.

Inspect the assembly for corrosion, damaged pins, deformation, and coating wear.
