Today we're going to be taking a look at part number C45151. This is Curt fusion ball mount for 2 inch hitches. It's going to offer a gross towing weight of 5,000 lb with a maximum tongue weight of 500 lb. The ball mount is going to have the permanently attached 1 7/8 inch ball that's going to let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank portion is going to be the portion that slides into the receiver tube of your hitch and then your hitch ball is going to provide a good connection point for your trailer's coupler. The neat thing about the fusion is that the hitch ball is actually welded to the ball mount platform so there's no need to torque it. It's going to be set and ready to go straight out of the box.
You can also see here that we do not have anything hanging below the ball platform so that's a nice smooth, steel surface at this portion right here. The neat think about the fusion is that it's going to prevent theft of the hitch ball. It's also going to eliminate the possibility of your hitch ball being able to loosen up. It's always going to be able to provide a nice, strong and secure towing setup. It's made from a sturdy steel construction. We're going to have a nice black powder coat finish on the actual ball mount with a chrome plated hitch ball. You can see right here that you are going to get a standard 5/8 inch pin and clip.
If you need a hitch pin and lock to lock this to your vehicle that's going to be sold separately. You can find that with part number 7683, but it does come with a hitch pin and clip to get it secured in your hitch. It is designed for 2 inch by 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. It's going to have a nice hollow shank here on the backside. Again, you're going to have a 1 7/8 inch hitch ball. A few measurements that I want to go over with you real quick.
The first one being the distance that we have from the center of the hitch pinhole to the center of the hitch ball. That's going to give us a measurement of about 8 1/8 of an inch. The distance that we have from the center of the hitch pinhole to the back of the shank is going to measure about 2 1/5 inches. This can only be used in the drop position. I measured from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform.
It's going to give us a drop of 3 1/2 inches. You're going to notice here that on the Curt sticker, they put a 4 inch drop measurement on here. That's an approximate or an estimate or a rounded number, but the exact drop is going to be 3 1/2 inches. Again, that's from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform. Curt's also going to cover this with a limited lifetime warranty. I'm going to go ahead and show you how it installs inside your hitch. All you have to do is take the shank, slide it into the receiver tube until you get your pinholes to line up with one another and then you simply just insert the included hitch pin and clip. That's going to do it for our review of part number C45151. This is the Curt fusion ball mount for 2 inch hitches with a 5,000 lb gross towing weight capacity. .

Ball mount can be used in the drop position only. Fits 2" hitches.Just received the hitch, receiver, and harness. All in excellent condition.
Hitch is now installed.
I'll have to do the harness Saturday, since the lights on my trailer don't work anyway, lol.
Thanks for all your help.
My experience with etrailer.com was positive all the way around. I received my product before the date that I was given. Once I received the product is was top of the line. I will for sure be ordering from etrailer.com again and again.
Quick transaction - great quality.
Well made hitch. Just the right drop for my Polaris Ranger and trailer.
Pretty simple did what it was supposed to
Great product the only downside was it was out of stock when ordered and I was not notified at checkout. They did however have this item delivered within a two weeks so it did not create an issue for me.
Purchased for a 2006 Jeep liberty. the only issue I have is that it connects right below the spare tire, making trailer attachment more difficult that it should be. If I had gotten a slightly longer hitch, wouldn't have been an issue. It's not a deal breaker, and the hitch itself has works perfectly.
I haul a 5.5x10 open trailer w/ a 900 lb. ZTR, a push mower, and a handful of other tools 3 days a week. It is what it is. It does the job, no problem.
A little finish wear and rust on the ball, but nothing major. I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD, which is probably responsible for the wear.
Nice solid (not hollow) and WELDED hitch. Have logged about 5,000 miles this year with no problems. I had many problems with bolted on balls, welded hitches are the way to go.
Exactly what I needed for my new Subaru hitch and quick delivery. Fusion ball mount nice feature..no need to remember to tighten before each use.
It works. I WOULD order from etrailer.com again.
Etrailer exceeded my expectations again! They upgraded my shipping and I received my order earlier than expected.
All of the products I've have bought for my trailer project from etrailer have been great. My go-to place for anything trailer related!
The ball on this hitch is not spherical. If you clamp it into a trailer hitch, it rattles up and down (though not side-to-side). Other ball hitches in my arsenal (from different tow vehicles) are held snugly and don't rattle in any direction. Although not a safety issue, I don't like hearing the rattle on bumpy roads.
Works fine, but it's a little loose in the receiver which makes it annoyingly loud at times. It will rattle up and down particularly when pulling a trailer with a light load or low tongue weight. It's bad enough I've tried shimming it which did help. Functionally it's fine. It's just annoying.
Solid product. Very clear and accurate installation instructions customized exactly to my specific vehicle year and model.
Haven't set this up yet but quality feels good. User error on my part as this is not a ball I can replace but the flat bed I plan on buying for my motorcycle is a 2" so not a big deal and the price was a decent buy.
This was the right set up for my 2018 4Runner. Works great. As a footnote, I now have a second vehicle for towing (2019 Tundra 4X4). Using the measuring process provided by etrailer folks, I found the same ball works great on the Tundra.
Thanks!
Perfect drop and keeps our RV trailer level. Good quality and shows no sign of wear.
This is the second time I have ordered a trailer hitch, wiring harness, and ball mount. Once again, the installation instructions, especially the videos, were excellent, and everything was a perfect fit for my vehicle. Thanks very much!
Exactly as advertised! Good quality bitch ball. I need a couple of inches lift. My car sits a little low, for towing a trailer. I plan on buying a light kayak trailer. I have a 2019 VW Tiguan. This one looks like it will work perfectly.
