Ball Mount Recommendation?

Drop hitch ball mount?
Fixed ball mount?
1-ball?
2-ball?
3-ball?

What do you recommend for a ball mount? This is to tow a blueboy waste tank tote to the dump station, or maybe tow a utility trailer, or a boat trailer.

My 2007.5 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually 4WD has the rear end sitting up pretty high (no, it's not lifted), so I was thinking a drop hitch or height adjustable hitch would be a good idea if I need to tow a waste tank tote to the dump station -- this is the immediate primary purpose for me to get a ball mount.

What ball mount and ball size make and model do you recommend?

Thanks

I have a 12’ utility trailer and like it to set close to level. I use a 6” drop hitch with a 2” ball on my F350 4x4. Been many many years since I needed a 1 7/8” ball and never a 2 5/16” ball.

I have the B&W system, very efficient, and has the two balls, 2 5/16th, and the 2" balls. When not in use it is foldable, out of the way. Has several different hight levels. I must admit I very please with the B&W systems, I have many B&W 5th wheel hitches..


Happy Trails.
