Product Description
B&W Hitches Tow and Stow Adjustable Drop Hitch | 2.5" Receiver, 7" Drop, 7-1/2" Rise, Dual Ball 2-5/16" x 2" | GM MultiPro & MultiFlex Compatible | Adjustable Drop Hitch, Stowing Feature When Not In Use, Dual Ball For Multiple Towing Possibilities, 18,000 GTW, 1,800 VTW
The B&W TS20066BMP is an engineered heavy-duty towing solution specifically designed to accommodate the unique features of modern 3/4-ton and 1-ton GM trucks while offering significant extra reach. This adjustable drop hitch fits standard 2.5" Class V receivers and offers a 7" drop alongside a 7-1/2" rise, ensuring your trailer rides perfectly level even if your HD truck features a heavy suspension lift or oversized tires. With a massive towing capacity of 18,000 lbs Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and 1,800 lbs Vertical Tow Weight (VTW), it is fully equipped to handle demanding industrial hauling, heavy equipment trailers, and large campers.
Unlike standard hitches, the MultiPro/MultiFlex compatible Tow & Stow is cut differently to allow for safety and clearance on GM trucks equipped with two-stage deployment electronic tailgates. The TS20066BMP is engineered with precision-machined cutouts in the vertical adjustment block, providing the critical clearance needed when the hitch is stowed. This means you can fully lower your GMC MultiPro or Chevy MultiFlex tailgate's inner step without worrying about it smashing into the hitch, preventing dents, dings, and costly tailgate repairs.
A defining feature of the Tow & Stow line is its ability to get completely out of the way when you aren't towing. By pulling two stainless steel pins, the swing arm rotates and stows neatly underneath the bumper, protecting your shins from painful impacts and maintaining the clean appearance of your lifted truck. The TS20066BMP also features a dual ball configuration accommodating both 2" and 2-5/16" trailer couplers, eliminating the need to carry multiple heavy, loose ball mounts in your cab.
Security and durability are critical for premium towing accessories. The hitch is finished in an industry-leading, UV-resistant black powder coat to withstand harsh weather and prevent corrosion. To protect your heavy-duty investment, we highly recommend securing your hitch to your truck with a 3-1/2" span Trimax Locking Pin (#SXT5) designed specifically for 2.5" receivers.
Fitment Notes & Warnings: This specialty Tow & Stow IS specifically designed for GMC MultiPro and Chevy MultiFlex tailgates. Do not use this hitch with sway-bar or weight distribution systems, as their specialized attachment pieces are incompatible. To prevent the stainless steel pins from seizing over time, regular maintenance requires applying a thin coating of white lithium grease to the pins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a specific hitch for my MultiPro/MultiFlex tailgate?
The MultiPro (GMC) and MultiFlex (Chevy) tailgates feature a fold-down inner step. When this step is lowered, it will collide with a standard ball mount, causing severe damage. This hitch is engineered with machined cutouts to provide the necessary clearance to lower your tailgate step safely when the hitch is in the stowed position.
How do I know if the 7" drop is right for my HD truck?
While the 5" drop is standard for many modern factory HD trucks, the 7" drop is specifically designed for 3/4-ton and 1-ton pickup trucks with substantial suspension lifts or heavily oversized tires. You should measure the height difference between your 2.5" receiver tube and your trailer coupler when perfectly level to ensure the 7" drop meets your specific towing needs.
Can I use a sway-bar with the Tow & Stow?
No. Sway-bar systems and weight distribution systems utilize specialized attachment pieces that connect directly to the hitch receiver, which are not compatible with the Tow & Stow design.
What maintenance is required for this hitch?
To keep the hitch functioning smoothly, regularly clean the stainless steel pins and apply a thin coating of white lithium grease. Because metal parts are exposed to the elements, this regular maintenance is required to prevent the pins from seizing or rusting.
