Default Best adjustable ball mount you have bought?

I am looking to get a nice stainless or aluminum adjustable ball mount for my truck. I have seen some that have lock mechanisms built in to them that are really nice. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have an F250 Harley towing a 9500# boat.

The thing that I found with most of these are that they are only rated for 10K max tow rating. I know you say you are at 9500lbs but that is close to max on moast all of these types of mounts.

Its not the cheapest one on the market but it works very well for me. I pull a 28 Donzi (about 8800 ILs).

I've used a Rapid Hitch for about 8 years years now with no issues. It might be a bit light for your application.

I had a Diversa Tech( I think that is what it was called) All aluminum and good for 12,000 to 15,000 lbs. I pulled my 38 Fountain Lightning with no issues.
