Winston Ball Mounts/Receivers

Winston TowSmart Ball Mounts & Receivers: Built-In Innovation for Every Tow

Winston Products has been a driving force in towing accessory innovation since its founding in 2004 in Cleveland, Ohio. Through its flagship towing brand, TowSmart, ball mounts and receivers aren't just off-the-shelf hardware — they're purpose-engineered solutions designed to eliminate the everyday frustrations that come with hitching up and hitting the road.

Founded with a mission to bring truly innovative product solutions to the tie-down and towing accessory markets, Winston Products channels that same ingenuity directly into its TowSmart ball mount lineup. All engineering is done in-house, which allows for out-of-the-box problem solving and quick adaptation to new market needs. The result is a line of ball mounts that address real-world towing problems with patented design features you won't find elsewhere.

The Patented X-Mount Advantage

What sets Winston's TowSmart ball mounts apart most distinctly is the patented X-Mount design. The patented X-Mount Ball Mount design channels away moisture to minimize seizing within your receiver hitch, and its unique shape allows less surface contact with your receiver hitch, further reducing the risk of seizing. For anyone who has ever wrestled a corroded ball mount out of a receiver hitch, this design difference is immediately meaningful.

Installation is just as thoughtfully addressed. All X-Mount Ball Mounts feature an exclusive lock rail system that allows you to torque the hitch ball with a single wrench — the lock rail functions as a built-in wrench, preventing the hitch ball from rotating during installation. This eliminates the need for a second tool and makes hitch ball changes far less of a hassle.

Adjustable & Multi-Ball Options for Versatile Towing

Winston's TowSmart lineup also includes adjustable and tri-ball configurations for drivers who tow a variety of trailers. The TowSmart Adjustable Tri-Ball Mount is engineered for heavy-duty towing needs, featuring three high-performance chrome hitch balls that eliminate the hassle of swapping mounts for different trailer sizes. This makes it an especially practical choice for boat owners, horse haulers, campers, or anyone managing a mixed fleet of trailers.

Security features are built into the design as well. Equipped with twist and lock push pins plus a dual barrel lock system with a single key, these mounts securely hold hitch balls and prevent theft or accidental detachment. For adjustable-height towing, the hollow steel design provides ultimate strength and can be used in either the drop or rise position depending on your towing requirements, while a durable black powder coat finish adds corrosion resistance against the elements.
