Uh oh. When did you order? I received a tracking number already and should have mine by Friday; ordered Sunday. I need it so I can pull a Bobcat on Saturday; bit of a problem if it doesn't show up. I bet there's a run on these with a lot of trucks coming to market with 2.5" hitches.

BTW, I also received a UPS tracking number but after 2 day of "Billing info received", I emailed the company back and an hour later got the scoop. I work all weekend anyways but if I don't have it next week I am going to be a little steamed

I may as well include the email
"Thanks again for your recent order. The special order ball mount you ordered has been rescheduled and will be shipped direct from the manufacturer by 11/02/10. Once it has shipped you should receive an update on your UPS tracking info.
Sorry for this unexpected production delay from the manufacturer."
I love all of the blame on the manufacturer at the end. The price to pay for a company that drop ships.

Well crudola, that is not good. I bought an adapter as a back up as I have a fortune in 2" solid drop hitches, but still a bummer. I don't get home until Friday so I'll be curious to see if it arrives. It doesn't sound promising.

Update. After 3 promised "it will be shipped out by the end of the day" emails, I have had it. I cannot believe this company still does not have the hitches. I sent an email to them stating to cancel my order and of course it went unanswered. I called and had to leave a message for a return call. There is a relate a few hours away that has them in stock. This is the same dealer I bought from the first time. I suppose this is what I get fir trying to save $20!

I too learned I had a 2.5" receiver when I went to hook up my 2" to my camper I was shocked. Went to local 4x4 shop. For the sleeve. It was to tight. They grinded it down
and painted it for me. So that
was cool. I was do to leave
the next day with the camper. Glad I checked it the night before

After calling them and having to leave a message due to them being "busy". I had to call back an 2 hours later demanding a refund which just happened. Never again would I buy from them.

I run a Pintle hitch on my truck and I had to get the Reese Titan mounting plate and has 4 holes on each side to I could get the correct drop for whatever trailer that I tow and when I inserted the Titan into the ginourmous 2.5" hole it only went in about 1/4 of an inch...they had put so much powercoating on it that it was now too big for the hold....so I whipped out the ole dremmel with the grinding stone and grinded away the poweder coating on all four edge and it slipped right in.
