Default black tow ball
Do they make a black tow ball? (Not the black chrome) Im beginning to black out my truck and cant seem to find a single 2" ball in black. I can find the triples all day long. Any one got any leads on one?

This. And if you ever use it you will need to do it again.

If you prep and paint the ball your trailer lights will not work.

If your trailer lights are wire up like they are supposed to be, Your lights should work perfect. If you have to hitch the truck to make the lights work, you have a ground issue.. And will bite you in the *** someday.

It aint all black but is half black. Its a hardened Teflon with a lifetime warranty. Its made by Andersen, the same people that make the Rapid Hitch. I been having one since i bought my truck and have towed with no issues.

Do y'all keep grease on your hitch ball? I always just spray a little wd-40 on mine before I use it but I don't know if that helps anything or not.
