How we researched this guide
We compared 6 Geteen products: 4 adjustable ball mounts and 2 vehicle-specific receiver hitches. We checked 3 maker manuals and 6 Amazon listing records for capacities, receiver sizes, ball sizes, materials, and warranty wording, and we reviewed the owner-facing documentation supplied with the products for installation and maintenance guidance.
Where a figure was not published for a model, we say so instead of borrowing another model’s number. Owner-review coverage for Geteen is thin in the sources we found, and each product section says so plainly rather than inventing owner quotes.
The 30-second answer
Most towers should start with the Geteen Tri-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount, because its three ball sizes cover nearly every coupler without swapping hardware. If you tow only two coupler sizes, the 2-inch Dual-Ball mount costs you nothing in versatility you will use. Trucks with a 2.5-inch receiver should step up to the 2.5-inch Dual-Ball mounts, and Telluride or Transit owners who still need a receiver should buy the vehicle-specific Geteen receiver made for their vehicle.

Ball mount calculator: match your trailer weight
Enter your loaded trailer weight in pounds. The calculator uses the gross trailer weight ratings of this guide’s own ball mounts and the 10 to 15 percent tongue-weight rule from the Geteen manuals. Your vehicle and receiver limits still apply, and the lowest rating in your towing system wins.
Calculator picks:
How to choose a Geteen trailer hitch
Receiver size first
Measure your receiver opening before anything else. A 2-inch shank will not fit a 2.5-inch receiver, and a 2.5-inch shank will not fit a 2-inch receiver. Four mounts in this guide are universal ball mounts, while the two receiver hitches are vehicle-specific, so receiver size alone narrows the field fast.
Gross trailer weight rating
Match the mount to your loaded trailer weight, not its empty weight. The Geteen manuals rate each ball size separately, and the 2.5-inch 7-inch-drop mount is the only one here rated to 15,000 lbs. Never let the mount be the weakest link in your towing system.
Ball size and coupler match
Your coupler size decides your ball size, and getting it wrong is not a minor detail. The tri-ball mount covers 1-7/8-inch, 2-inch, and 2-5/16-inch couplers, while the dual-ball mounts cover the two larger sizes. If you tow one trailer only, buy for that coupler.
Drop and rise for level towing
Measure from the ground to your receiver and to your trailer coupler, both level, and buy the drop that closes the gap. A trailer that tows nose-high or nose-low handles worse and wears unevenly. The 5-inch and 7-inch drops here cover most trucks and SUVs.
Tongue weight and vehicle limits
Tongue weight should sit at 10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight, per the Geteen manuals, and it counts against your vehicle’s payload. The hitch rating never overrides your vehicle’s tow rating, so the lowest number among vehicle, receiver, mount, and trailer always wins.
Finish, pins, and stowing
Geteen coats these mounts with an e-coat and black powder coat, and the manuals stress keeping pins clean, greased, and fully seated. The adjustable mounts stow by rotating the ball assembly inward, which keeps the mount out of your shins and your garage door.
Geteen trailer hitches by budget
| Tier | What you get | Example pick |
|---|---|---|
| Single-trailer value | One mount matched to one coupler size and one receiver size | Geteen Dual-Ball 2-inch mount |
| Multi-trailer value | Three ball sizes on one mount, so no hardware swaps between trailers | Geteen Tri-Ball mount |
| Heavy-duty | 2.5-inch receiver platform with the highest ratings in this guide | Geteen Dual-Ball 2.5-inch 7-inch drop mount |
| Vehicle-specific | Bolt-on receiver made for one vehicle, with no universal-fit compromise | Geteen Telluride or Transit receiver |
Types of Geteen trailer hitches
| Type | Pros | Cons | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adjustable ball mount | Height adjusts for level towing; ball sizes swap by rotating the assembly | Heavier than a fixed mount; pins need regular checks | Owners towing more than one trailer |
| Tri-ball mount | Covers three coupler sizes on one mount | Overkill if you tow a single trailer | Mixed fleets and borrowed trailers |
| Vehicle-specific receiver | Exact fitment; adds a 2-inch receiver where none exists | Fits only the listed vehicles | Telluride and Transit owners |

Detailed reviews of Geteen trailer hitches
Each review below follows the same order: why it is our pick, key specs from the maker manual or listing record, fitment, pros and watch-outs, what owners report, who should not buy it, and what to pair it with.
Top pick: Geteen Tri-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver)
Top pick
Why the Geteen Tri-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver) is our pick
Three coupler sizes on a single mount is the most practical answer to the most common towing annoyance: borrowing or buying a second trailer and discovering the ball does not match. This mount rotates between 1-7/8-inch, 2-inch, and 2-5/16-inch balls, so one mount covers most couplers. Its 10,000 lbs gross trailer weight rating covers the great majority of bumper-pull towing behind trucks and SUVs, and the 5-inch drop suits most rigs.

- Receiver size: 2 inches

Geteen Tri-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver): fits and best for
This mount fits any vehicle with a 2-inch receiver, which covers most half-ton trucks, full-size SUVs, and many crossovers with a factory or aftermarket receiver. It is best for owners who tow more than one trailer, or who regularly borrow trailers, because the ball size can change in seconds by rotating the assembly. It is not a receiver itself: your vehicle must already have one.
Geteen Tri-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver) pros and watch-outs
- Three ball sizes on one mount
- 10,000 lbs gross trailer weight rating
- Universal 2-inch receiver fit
- Alloy steel with powder coat finish
- 5-inch drop suits most trucks and SUVs
- Heavier than a fixed ball mount at 31.5 lbs
- Tongue weight not published in the listing record
- Needs an existing 2-inch receiver
- Pins must be checked before every tow
Geteen Tri-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver): what owners report
Owner-review coverage for this mount is thin in the sources found during this research, so this section reports the documentation rather than inventing owner quotes. The listing record and the shared Geteen manual family confirm the tri-ball design, the 5-inch drop, and the 10,000 lbs rating, and the manual’s maintenance guidance stresses keeping pins clean and greased. See the Amazon listing record for the full specification table.
Geteen Tri-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver): who should not buy
Do not buy this mount if your receiver is 2.5 inches, or if your trailer exceeds 10,000 lbs loaded. The 2.5-inch Dual-Ball mounts in this guide are the correct step up, and a trailer above this rating needs a heavier system, not a bigger ball.
Geteen Tri-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver): pair it with
Pair it with a locking hitch pin and a coupler lock, plus grease for the balls and pins.

Tip: measure receiver height and coupler height on level ground before ordering, and read our car trailer sizing guide before matching a trailer to your truck.
Best dual-ball for most trucks: Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver)
Best dual-ball for most trucks
Why the Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver) is our pick
Two ball sizes cover the two couplers most towers actually own, and this mount adds the two features that make an adjustable mount pleasant to live with: a stowable arm that rotates out of the way when you are not towing, and an anti-theft design that resists removal of the adjustable arm once locked into most receivers. The maker manual rates it at 7,500 lbs with the 2-inch ball and 10,000 lbs with the 2-5/16-inch ball, which is an honest, ball-by-ball rating rather than a single headline number.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver) key specs
- Part number: GTH-722005-2B
- Receiver size: 2 inches
- Ball sizes: 2 in, 2-5/16 in
- Drop and rise: 5 inches
- GTW, 2-inch ball: 7,500 lbs
- GTW, 2-5/16-inch ball: 10,000 lbs
- Material: steel alloy
- Finish: powder coated
- Stowable: yes, rotates under the vehicle
- Anti-theft: yes, arm resists removal when locked
- Item weight: 29.9 lbs
- Dimensions: 15.16 x 11 x 7.87 inches
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver): fits and best for
This mount fits any 2-inch receiver and is best for owners towing utility trailers, boat trailers, and car trailers with 2-inch or 2-5/16-inch couplers. It suits daily-driven trucks because the stowable arm tucks away between trips instead of threatening shins and garage doors. It is not the pick for 1-7/8-inch couplers, which need the tri-ball mount, or for 2.5-inch receivers, which need the larger mounts below.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver) pros and watch-outs
- Two most common ball sizes on one mount
- Ball-by-ball GTW ratings in the manual
- Stowable arm for everyday driving
- Anti-theft arm design
- Stainless adjustment pins
- No 1-7/8-inch ball included
- Tongue-weight split not published in the manual excerpt
- Heavier than a fixed mount
- Adjustment holes need cleaning in muddy use
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver): what owners report
Owner-review coverage for this mount is thin in the sources found during this research, so we report the manual rather than paraphrasing reviews we did not find. The maker manual confirms the parts list, the setup steps, the stowable design, and the 7,500 and 10,000 lbs ratings. That documentation is the reliable evidence base for this mount.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver): who should not buy
Do not buy this mount if you tow a 1-7/8-inch coupler trailer, or if your loaded trailer tops 10,000 lbs. The tri-ball mount covers the smaller coupler, and the 2.5-inch mounts cover heavier trailers.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2-Inch Receiver): pair it with
Pair it with a locking hitch pin and a receiver tube cover. Grease keeps adjustment smooth.

Tip: after any height change, pull-test both adjustment pins before hitching, and see our how to hook up towing gear guide for a careful hookup routine.
Best heavy-duty pick: Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 7-Inch Drop)
Best heavy-duty pick
Why the Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 7-Inch Drop) is our pick
This is the strongest mount in the guide, and the only one rated to 15,000 lbs gross trailer weight. That rating belongs to the 2-5/16-inch ball; the 2-inch ball is rated to 8,000 lbs, with tongue weights of 1,500 lbs and 800 lbs. The 7-inch drop answers the tallest trucks, where a 5-inch drop leaves the trailer nose-high, and the 2.5-inch shank suits heavy-duty trucks that come with the larger receiver from the factory.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 7-Inch Drop) key specs
- Part number: GTH-722507-2B
- Receiver size: 2.5 inches
- Ball sizes: 2 in, 2-5/16 in
- Drop: 7 inches
- GTW, 2-inch ball: 8,000 lbs
- Tongue weight, 2-inch ball: 800 lbs
- GTW, 2-5/16-inch ball: 15,000 lbs
- Tongue weight, 2-5/16-inch ball: 1,500 lbs
- Material: high-strength steel
- Finish: e-coat plus black powder coat
- Item weight: 32.1 lbs
- Dimensions: 15.16 x 11 x 7.87 inches
- Maker warranty: one year, per the manual
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 7-Inch Drop): fits and best for
This mount fits trucks with a 2.5-inch receiver, typically heavy-duty pickups, and is best for equipment trailers, large boat trailers, and car haulers in the 10,000 to 15,000 lbs range. The 7-inch drop suits lifted or tall trucks. It does not fit 2-inch receivers.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 7-Inch Drop) pros and watch-outs
- Highest GTW rating in this guide at 15,000 lbs
- Full tongue-weight figures published per ball
- 7-inch drop for tall trucks
- E-coat plus powder coat corrosion protection
- One-year maker warranty stated in the manual
- Fits 2.5-inch receivers only
- Heaviest adjustable mount here at 32.1 lbs
- No 1-7/8-inch ball included
- Overkill for light trailers
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 7-Inch Drop): what owners report
Owner-review coverage for this mount is thin in the sources found during this research, so this section rests on the manual. The maker manual confirms the 8,000 and 15,000 lbs ratings, the 800 and 1,500 lbs tongue weights, the 7-inch drop, and the one-year warranty, and it states the 10 to 15 percent tongue-weight rule used across this guide.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 7-Inch Drop): who should not buy
Do not buy this mount for a 2-inch receiver, and do not buy it for a trailer under about 5,000 lbs, where the 2-inch mounts are lighter and cheaper to live with. The rating only helps if the truck and receiver can use it.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 7-Inch Drop): pair it with
Pair it with a heavy-duty locking hitch pin rated for the receiver and a weight-distribution setup if your trailer and truck call for one.
We may earn a commission at no cost to you.
Tip: weigh the loaded trailer before trusting any rating, and read our car hauler winch guide if your hauler also needs a winch.
Best 2.5-inch 5-inch drop: Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 5-Inch Drop)
Best 2.5-inch 5-inch drop
Why the Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 5-Inch Drop) is our pick
Not every heavy-duty truck needs seven inches of drop, and this mount is the answer for the ones that do not. It keeps the 2.5-inch receiver platform and the 15,000 lbs gross trailer weight rating from the listing title, but with a 5-inch drop that suits trucks closer to stock height. The result is a shorter, tidier mount that still carries the heavy ratings, with less leverage hanging behind the bumper.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 5-Inch Drop) key specs
- Part number: GTH-722505-2B
- Receiver size: 2.5 inches
- Ball sizes: 2 in, 2-5/16 in
- Drop: 5 inches
- Maximum GTW: 15,000 lbs (listing title)
- Material: not stated in listing excerpt
- Fit type: universal fit for 2.5-inch receivers
- Item weight: 30.2 lbs
- Dimensions: 15.16 x 11 x 7.87 inches
- Per-ball GTW split: Not published
- Tongue weight: Not published
- Finish: powder coated per listing family
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 5-Inch Drop): fits and best for
This mount fits trucks with a 2.5-inch receiver at or near stock height, and is best for heavy utility, boat, and equipment trailers where five inches of drop levels the trailer. It is not for 2-inch receivers, and buyers who need the per-ball rating split in writing should choose the 7-inch-drop model, whose manual publishes both figures.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 5-Inch Drop) pros and watch-outs
- 2.5-inch heavy platform with a shorter drop
- 15,000 lbs GTW rating in the listing
- Lighter than the 7-inch-drop model
- Dual-ball versatility for two coupler sizes
- Same proven mount dimensions as the family
- Per-ball GTW split not published
- Tongue-weight figures not published
- Fits 2.5-inch receivers only
- No 1-7/8-inch ball included
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 5-Inch Drop): what owners report
Owner-review coverage for this mount is thin in the sources found during this research, and the listing excerpt publishes fewer figures than the 7-inch-drop model’s manual. This section therefore reports only what the Amazon listing record states, and marks the per-ball split and tongue weight as not published rather than importing them from the sibling model.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 5-Inch Drop): who should not buy
Do not buy this mount if you need published per-ball ratings, or if your receiver is 2 inches. The 7-inch-drop 2.5-inch mount has the fuller published spec set, and the 2-inch mounts fit the smaller receiver.
Geteen Dual-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount (2.5-Inch Receiver, 5-Inch Drop): pair it with
Pair it with a locking hitch pin and a tape measure session on level ground: drop is the whole reason to choose this model over its taller sibling.

Tip: measure twice on level ground with the trailer loaded, and see our trailer winch guide if the trailer itself needs loading help.
Best vehicle-specific receiver: Geteen Class III Receiver Hitch for Kia Telluride (2020-2024)
Best vehicle-specific receiver
Why the Geteen Class III Receiver Hitch for Kia Telluride (2020-2024) is our pick
A ball mount is useless without a receiver, and many Telluride owners discover their SUV never had one. This vehicle-specific Class III hitch bolts on in place of a universal guess, giving the Telluride a standard 2-inch receiver that accepts ball mounts, cargo carriers, bike racks, and tow hooks. The listing rates it at 5,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight, with 6,000 lbs of weight-distribution capacity, which matches what a mid-size three-row SUV can sensibly tow. The double-layer anti-rust process resists corrosion at welds and inside the tube.
Geteen Class III Receiver Hitch for Kia Telluride (2020-2024) key specs
- Fitment: Kia Telluride 2020-2024
- Class: Class III
- Receiver: 2 in x 2 in

- Package dimensions: 44 x 22.5 x 7.5 inches
- Warranty: lifetime for quality issues, per listing
Geteen Class III Receiver Hitch for Kia Telluride (2020-2024): fits and best for
This hitch fits the Kia Telluride, model years 2020 through 2024, only. It is best for Telluride owners who tow a small boat, utility trailer, or camper within the 5,000 lbs rating, or who want a receiver for cargo and bike carriers. It does not raise the Telluride’s own tow rating.
Geteen Class III Receiver Hitch for Kia Telluride (2020-2024) pros and watch-outs
- Exact vehicle fitment, no universal compromise
- Standard 2-inch receiver for many accessories
- Double-layer anti-rust process
- Weight-distribution capacity published
- Lifetime warranty for quality issues per listing
- Telluride-only fitment
- 42.4 lbs before installation hardware
- Does not raise the vehicle’s own tow rating
- Professional installation may be needed
Geteen Class III Receiver Hitch for Kia Telluride (2020-2024): what owners report
Owner-review coverage for this receiver is thin in the sources found during this research, so this section reports the listing record. The Amazon listing record confirms the Telluride fitment years, the 5,000 lbs and 750 lbs ratings, the 6,000 lbs weight-distribution capacity, and the anti-rust process.
Geteen Class III Receiver Hitch for Kia Telluride (2020-2024): who should not buy
Do not buy this hitch for any vehicle other than a 2020-2024 Telluride, and do not buy it expecting to tow above 5,000 lbs. The Transit receiver below is the heavier vehicle-specific option, and only for Transits.

Best van receiver: Geteen Class 3 Receiver Hitch T11 for Ford Transit (2015-2023)
Best van receiver
Why the Geteen Class 3 Receiver Hitch T11 for Ford Transit (2015-2023) is our pick
Transit vans work for a living, and a receiver that cannot keep up with that work is a liability. The T11 is a Class 3 receiver built specifically for the Transit-150, Transit-250, and Transit-350 from 2015 to 2023, rated at 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 900 lbs tongue weight, with 8,000 lbs of weight-distribution capacity. The maker manual publishes them alongside installation and maintenance guidance. Its alloy carbon steel and double-layer powder coat suit a van that lives outdoors.

Geteen Class 3 Receiver Hitch T11 for Ford Transit (2015-2023): who should not buy
Do not buy this hitch for any vehicle other than a 2015-2023 Transit, and do not buy it to tow above 6,000 lbs or 900 lbs of tongue weight. The rating is the rating, and the van’s own limits still apply.

Installation and wiring basics
Ball mounts install in minutes: slide the shank into the receiver, align the pinholes, insert the hitch pin and clip, then pull the two stainless adjustment pins, set the height for level towing, and re-seat both pins fully. The Geteen manuals stress checking that every pin is fully engaged before hitching, and re-checking after the first few miles. Receiver hitches are a bigger job: the Telluride and Transit receivers bolt to the vehicle frame, and the T11 manual calls for re-torquing the mounting bolts annually or after significant towing. If you are not comfortable working under a vehicle, a shop install is the right call, and it is still cheaper than a receiver failure.
Useful companions: our hookup guide, our recovery kit guide, and our boat trailer winch guide.
Safety essentials
- Never exceed the lowest rating among vehicle, receiver, mount, ball, and trailer.
- Keep tongue weight at 10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight.
- Check every pin and clip before every tow, and re-check after the first miles.
- Grease balls and pins, and touch up coating chips before rust starts.
- Re-torque receiver bolts annually or after significant towing.
- Stow the adjustable arm when not towing so it cannot catch shins or doors.

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Height will not adjust | Pins not fully disengaged, or debris in holes | Clean and lubricate the holes, then re-seat the pins |
| Mount rattles | Pin or clip not fully seated | Re-seat all pins and clips, check receiver fit |
| Trailer tows nose-high | Drop too small for the rig | Move to a larger drop mount |
| Surface rust appears | Coating chipped, salt exposure | Clean, dry, and touch up with rust-inhibiting paint |
| Receiver bolts loosen | Torque not re-checked | Re-torque to specification, then annually |
| Ball feels loose in coupler | Wrong ball size for the coupler | Match the ball to the coupler stamping |
Who should NOT buy these
Owners without a receiver should not buy a ball mount first. A ball mount needs a receiver to slide into, so Telluride and Transit owners without one need the vehicle-specific receiver before any mount in this guide.
Heavy fifth-wheel and gooseneck towers should not shop here. These are bumper-pull ball mounts and receivers, not fifth-wheel hitches, and no mount here is rated for that job.
Buyers who need a published tongue weight for every model should pause. Three mounts here do not publish a tongue-weight figure, and borrowing a sibling model’s number would be guessing. The 2.5-inch 7-inch-drop mount and both receivers publish theirs.
Owners of vehicles outside the two fitment lists should skip the receivers. Vehicle-specific means vehicle-specific, and a Telluride hitch will not become a universal hitch by enthusiasm.

FAQ
What Geteen trailer hitch should most people buy?
The Tri-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount is the best starting point for most towers with a 2-inch receiver, because its three ball sizes cover nearly every coupler without swapping hardware. Its 10,000 lbs rating covers most bumper-pull trailers, and the 5-inch drop suits most trucks and SUVs. Measure your receiver and coupler first either way.
What is the difference between the 2-inch and 2.5-inch Geteen mounts?
The shank size must match your receiver opening: a 2-inch shank fits a 2-inch receiver, and a 2.5-inch shank fits a 2.5-inch receiver, with no interchange. The 2.5-inch mounts also carry the higher ratings in this guide, up to 15,000 lbs, while the 2-inch mounts top out at 10,000 lbs.
How do I choose the right drop for my Geteen ball mount?
Park truck and trailer on level ground, measure from the ground to the top of the receiver opening and to the bottom of the coupler, and buy the drop that closes the gap. The 5-inch mounts suit most stock-height rigs, while the 7-inch mount suits taller trucks. Level towing matters for handling and tire wear.
What tongue weight should my trailer have?
The Geteen manuals state tongue weight at 10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight. Too little tongue weight invites sway, and too much overloads the rear axle and steering. Weigh the loaded trailer, then check the tongue weight against both the mount rating and your vehicle’s payload limit.
Does Geteen make a receiver hitch for my vehicle?
This guide covers two vehicle-specific Geteen receivers: one for the Kia Telluride, model years 2020 to 2024, and the T11 for Ford Transit vans, model years 2015 to 2023. If your vehicle is not on those lists, buy a receiver made for your vehicle first, then pair it with a Geteen ball mount.
Can I use a weight-distribution hitch with a Geteen receiver?
Both vehicle-specific receivers in this guide publish weight-distribution capacities: 6,000 lbs for the Telluride receiver and 8,000 lbs for the Transit T11. Follow the weight-distribution system’s own instructions and your vehicle maker’s guidance, and never exceed the lowest rating in the system.
How do I maintain a Geteen trailer hitch?
Clean the mount and receiver tube after muddy or salty use, grease the balls and pins, touch up coating chips with rust-inhibiting paint, and check every pin before each tow. The T11 manual adds an annual bolt re-torque for receivers. Stow the adjustable arm when not towing to protect it and your shins.
What warranty does Geteen offer?
Warranty wording differs by product line, and this guide reports each as written. The 2.5-inch 7-inch-drop mount’s manual states a one-year warranty, while the Telluride receiver listing states a lifetime warranty for quality issues. Check the warranty statement for the exact model you buy before ordering.
Is the Geteen tri-ball mount better than the dual-ball mount?
It is better if you tow trailers with three different coupler sizes, since it covers 1-7/8-inch couplers the dual-ball mounts cannot. If you tow only 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch couplers, the dual-ball mount does the same job with one less ball to carry. Buy for the couplers you actually tow.
