Bulldog 2-5/16 in Chrome Hitch Ball, 14,000 lb - 7028500
Bulldog 2-5/16 in Chrome Hitch Ball, 14,000 lb - 7028500 — Product description
The Bulldog 2-5/16 inch chrome hitch ball handles a 14,000 pound gross trailer weight, making it the right pick for larger boat trailers, utility trailers, and car haulers. Its steel body and chrome finish stand up to weather and road salt, and the 1-1/4 inch shank drops into most heavy-duty ball mounts.
This is Bulldog's 2-5/16 inch chrome hitch ball, rated for a 14,000 pound gross trailer weight. If you're pulling a bigger boat trailer, a loaded utility trailer, or a car hauler, this is the ball size that class of coupler is built around. The steel body and chrome finish shrug off weather and road salt, which matters when your rig lives near the water.
The shank measures 1-1/4 inch in diameter and 2-3/4 inch long, so check that against your ball mount hole and thickness before you order. Bulldog builds towing gear the military and trailer makers trust, and this ball carries that same tough, no-nonsense build. It ships in a retail package. Match the ball to your coupler, torque it down to spec, and you're ready to hitch up and roll.

Frequently asked questions
What size coupler does this ball fit?
It's a 2-5/16 inch ball, so it matches couplers marked 2-5/16 inch. Always match the ball size stamped on your coupler exactly.
How much can this hitch ball tow?
It's rated for a 14,000 pound gross trailer weight. Your real towing limit is set by the lowest-rated part in your setup, so also check your ball mount, coupler, hitch receiver, and vehicle ratings.
What are the shank dimensions?
The shank is 1-1/4 inch in diameter and 2-3/4 inch long. Measure your ball mount hole diameter and thickness to be sure it fits before you install.
Will the chrome finish hold up near saltwater?
Chrome plating resists rust better than bare steel, but any hitch ball that lives near saltwater benefits from a rinse after use and a light coat of grease to keep it protected and turning smoothly.
