i picked this up from walmart, i think harbor frieght has it also

only need the 2in as your max tow is only rated at 6000 lbs and the 2in ball is rated up to 7500

i went this one as the lock mechanism for the ball is recessed inside the adjustable piece for security (you have to slide the adjustable part out to access the ball lock channel)

and no i am not in chicago, thats the vpn location reporting

edit : also the lock pins for the hitch are long enough for the new 4runner hitch reciever. using one to lock my back up light currently from diode dyanmics

I have the TRD Pro and use Rhino USA 2.0 hitch with a U-Haul motorcycle trailer.

This keeps the trailer level on the TRD Pro.

is it just painted or ???

What I have done is set the trailer on level ground, get the trailer frame as close to horizontal as possible back the truck to the trailer hitch take some measurements.
Not sure of your bike trailer configuration but the top of the frame is a good reference point to the ground. That dimension is also the pretty close to the distance the top of the ball will seat on the trailer hitch.
Measure the truck receiver and compare to get the rise or drop.

I have the black one. It does not look like paint, more like it’s been anodized. In any case, scratches show raw metal.
