B&W Stow and Tow clearance with Multi Pro Tailgate

[paticus]

I watched a bunch of videos before buying this hitch. There were comments suggesting that the B&W hitch was pointless because you had to stow it in order to use the Multi Pro Tailgate. And if you're going to do that, then you might was well just remove it. 

 

However, I use it with the ball out and a trailer hooked up (dual axle, for 23 foot wakeboard boat) and it's good. I am 1 notch up from the bottom. It was pretty nice being able to use the multi pro tailgate after a day on the lake, for loading boat gear in the truck. Anyways just thought I would share my experience as an owner of the hitch. I'm 250 lbs and it doesn't come close to touching when I use the step.

 

Highly Recommend.

how tall is your ball from the ground?

I have a wake boat at well and I think my ball is at 23" to tow the boat level

~20". Next time I hook up the boat, I'm going to bump up 1 notch and check the clearance with the trailer on.
