    I am looking at the B&W Stow and Go hitch balls. My 2019 Taco Sport is stock and I don't plan lifting it. The stow and go's come in a 3" drop and a 5" drop. Any input or experienced suggestions?

    Whatever it takes to get the trailer as level as possible. I have several hitch mounts for different trailers.
    Trailer tire size also effects the drop, your boat trailer with 15" tires require less drop than a yard trailer with 8" tires.
    I would back the truck to the trailer, then use trailer jack and level to see how much below the hitch you are.

    I appreciate that, I have not bought a utility trailer yet so I was just hoping some guys had a little impute and I could get a common opinion. I may have to go grab my buddies trailer and see how it measures out. Thanks!!

    Can’t speak to your 3rd gen, but I have a 2015 DCSB OR with stock suspension. I have a 3.25” drop ball mount that is perfect for my single axle 10’ utility trailer. Unless you’re pulling a really small trailer the 5” drop will likely be too low.
