Why not have two hitch receivers and have the ball already mounted on each? So simple to switch between the two. We do that at work all the time, as our van tows a 2 axle trailer with electric brakes most of the time and 2-5/16" ball, while the smaller single axle trailer has a 2" ball mount. Two heights too.

Fred, that is what I do now, but each time I get rust on my hands because the hitch bars and the balls are not SS and coated with rust. In addition, one of the hitches sticks out too far so that I can't close my garage door so I have to remove it just to close the door.
Now, to those who recommend the Anderson, that is exactly the hitch I was talking about. Talk about "immediate answers"! In addition, I posted this just before going to church today and as luck would have it, one of the trucks in the parking lot had this same hitch. What a coincidence. Great forum and thanks to all who responded.
