Aluminum Ball Mount Tips (Canada)

Pickup towing a travel trailer on a Canadian highway
Towing

Aluminum ball mounts cut carry weight when you pull the mount after every trip. They still need the correct drop, ball size, and rating. Treat aluminum with the same torque and inspection habits you use on steel.

Where aluminum helps

Frequent on-and-off use is the main reason to choose aluminum. The lighter shank is easier to carry to a fourth-floor locker. Capacity still has to cover the trailer. Do not buy aluminum only because it looks nicer in the tube.

Care

Avoid galvanic surprises by following the product hardware guidance. Rinse salt. Inspect the ball hole and pin holes for elongation. Torque the ball nut to spec the same way you would on steel.
