Perfectly as described, Box was a heavy hitch and the box must have been damaged in shipping so it was a little delayed. You can't mess up a forged hitch it still is in excellent condition.

This simple ball mount will get the job done. It's a solid casting so it weighs a lot.
by: Artur B03/31/2015
I bought this to use it for the 3 inch rise it provided.
I have a lowered truck and towing my car carrier would prove to be difficult at times. The 3 inch raised that this provided made the trailer stay in a more manageable position.
The heavy solid metal construction is of extremely high-quality. I would not have any hesitation towing something at the rated 16,000 pound capacity.

Great ball mount. I've had another like it in service for 8 years. Still like
new/no wear. I'm getting another, because new truck hitch receiver is higher. A+++

Great product, exactly as advertised in their website. Etrailer is the go to company for towing accessories. Even shipped with the ball was cheaper than I found it locally for just the receiver portion. Great customer service. Thanks,

Still the best solution for your towing needs.

This trailer ball mount is very beefy, fits tightly into the hitch receiver and it has the right amount of rise for my boat trailer. Very pleased with this product.

The Draw-Tite Ball Mount that I purchased came exactly as described, and works great. Great product, very nice people doing a good job !
by: Big G01/09/2020
I own a 31ft Cabin Cruiser boat that weighs around 10,000lbs and the trailer itself weighs over 2000lbs. Every time I would pull the boat out of the water the back of my truck would squat a little and the trailer jack would occasionally scrape the ground. So I purchased this Hitch Ball and mounted it upside down so that the ball is higher than the bumper of the truck and now the trailer is level when cruising down the interstate fully loaded.
This Hitch ball is very heavy and completlely solid! I dont hear any noises coming from the hitch at all.
Etrailer had the best price around and will always contine shopping with them anytime I need any trailer parts
by: Lambo5409/12/2013
A heavy brute, a little loose, but that can be remedied with electrical tape, this will haul anything I will ever need and then some.

Everything is working perfectly and if needed in the future, I will return, thank you
by: Scott S.10/03/2013
As always etrailer shipped a great product on time. I planned on using the hitch to haul 5-6 facecords of wood on a 16 ft car trailer. I have used the hitch 6 or 7 times now and it works great along with the hitch and i ball i also ordered from etrailer.
by: Tim M.09/26/2014
I found the etrailer website to be incredibly helpful as I was needing some education on trailer hitches and towing in general. I picked out my hitch assembly, placed the order, then was contacted by etrailer immediately that my order was received, processed, and being shipped. Outstanding service!
I am also impressed with how available they are for questions and help with orders.
I plan on doing a lot of business with etrailer. Not often does a company makes it customers feel valued.
by: Kate07/13/2013
This ball mount is exactly what we needed to tow our pop-up camper with our minivan. We have an after market hitch that is very low. We needed a ball mount to raise the towing height and this fits the bill.
by: Andy M08/05/2014
Ordered hitch and ball from etrailers and received on time. Customer service rep was excellent. I placed the hitch on my 94 2500 series GMC In 30 minutes using a 3/4 ratchet. I would suggest asking a fiend to assist because it weighs about 45 pounds.
by: James N.12/02/2014
This is the second one I have purchased this year from etrailer.
These heavy duty ball mounts are the way to go.
The drop slope makes it easy to hook or unhook a trailer regardless of tow truck tilt angle. This is a problem we had with square drops.
You can use 2-inch and 2-5/16 with this unit.
All of our ball mounts will be changed to this type.
by: Norm V.02/17/2011
We pull a Car Hauler Trailer with valuable cars inside and didn't want to take chances any longer with a lower rated Trailer Hitch Ball Mount or the Hitch Ball. If you look at what the rating is on the Ball Mount and Hitch Ball that you are using on your Trailer Hitch I think you will be shocked and then will order one of these 16,000 lbs. GTW rated Forged Ball Mounts and probably a new 12,000 # rated Hitch Ball also! If the Hitch Ball Mount or the Hitch Ball you are using breaks - what will happen to your trailer and what is on it or inside as the case may be?
by: John08/11/2020
Perfect fit and perfect height for my application. This unit is in my opinion extra heavy duty !

2nd ball mount I've purchased from etrailer.com and it is great. 1st one is still working great on my old truck, bought this one for the new truck. Fast shipping (less than 2 days for standard shipping) good price and quality product, can't ask for much more!! Hitch ball & mount fit perfectly on my 2014 F-150 and work great for towing my 22ft trailer.
by: Sam Z.08/15/2014
This bad boy is one solid piece of security. I like to think that the one piece of equipment keeping my trailer securely behind the truck and not skidding past me down the freeway can handle the challenge ... the Forged Ball Mount can handle anything. Thanks etrailer.com!
by: Danny R.07/19/2011
Solid 1 piece ball mount...heavy, this thing weighs about 20 lbs. It is a little loose fitting in the reciever but that may be the reciever and not the ball mount. A few wraps of electrical tape keeps it from rattling.
by: Stanley05/03/2019
Bought a trailer hitch receiver ..... received promptly and in perfect condition. Installation instructions were right on and it was easily installed! Great product, just as expected!
by: John e12/18/2011
Nice finish, hopefully will hold up over time. Unfortunately it is rather loose inside the 2" hitch hole, I don't understand how hard it is to get a tighter tolerance. We used some electrical tape as others suggested, but I would expect more from this brand.
by: John S.02/13/2012
Seems well made; truly is forged and its fairly heavy. I particularly liked eTrailer's putting all the pertinent info in their website description; many places don't do that. I was confident I was getting the proper sized balls and mount.

- Can I Keep My Spare Tire Mounted With The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 14001 On 1997 Ford F-250I contacted our representative at Curt and he informed me that you will be able to keep your spare tire on your 1997 Ford F-250 extended cab long bed with rear full tank, with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 14001. When installing part # 14001, you will need to lower the spare tire to install the Curt Hitch. After installation you will just need to raise the spare tire and position it into place.

In order to reduce your hitch down to a 2 inch diameter opening on your new Ford F-350 Super Duty you would need to purchase a Curt Reducer Sleeve 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch, part # C45405.

view full answer... - Recommended Extended Ball Mount With Rise To Keep Trailer From Hitting The GroundIt sounds like you need a new ball mount. We do have ball mounts that have a rise, which would lift the coupler of your trailer and possibly give you the clearance you need. If you have a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver opening and need about 3-1/8 inches of additional clearance I recommend part # C45522. This measures 11-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball mount hole which should give you plenty of additional room to keep from mashing your hand. If you have...

It is possible that a long ball mount will have the length needed to provide clearance for towing the trailer. Ball mount # 40331 measures 9-1/4 inches from the center of the pin hole to the center of the ball hole. It is rated for 16,000 pounds gross trailer weight and it has a 3 inch rise or 4 inch drop. Another ball mount to consider is the Buyers Products # 3371802225. This ball mount will provide you 16 inches from center...

I checked with one of my contacts at Draw-Tite, who tells me that this hitch will work with the 34-1/4 frame measurement. That 1/4 inch is within acceptable tolerances, so the hitch should fit just fine for you. You might also need the following: Ball Mount with 3 inch rise or 4 inch drop, part # 40331 2 inch trailer ball, part # A-90 2-5/16...
view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendations for a 2012 Ford Expedition Towing a Pontoon Boat or Seadoo TrailerYou have a couple of options. First, you can buy two ball mounts, one with the correct rise for the pontoon boat and one for the Seadoo trailer. Or, you can get one ball mount that use a 2-1/2 inch rise, # AMSC2HD, and that would be fine for both trailers. If you wanted to go with separate ball mounts, for a 3 inch, use # 40331. You do not have to use that extra sway control bracket welded to it. Another option is to use an adjustable ball mount like # TK5007. It has a max rise of 9 inches...

I have included a link to a video installation on a similar truck below. I also added a link to the installation instructions. I also recommend the Forged Ball Mount, # 40331, and ball # A-90 (2 inch diameter), or # 19286 (2-5/16 inch diameter). The wiring for your truck is the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, # C55317. Installation is easy. The...
view full answer... - Will The Curt Class IV 2 Inch Hitch # C14355 Fit A 2002 Ford F-150 With The 7700 PackageThe Curt Class IV 2 Inch Hitch # C14355 is listed to fit a 1997 to 2003 Ford F-150 and F-250 Light Duty. When the Super Duty line was released in 1999 the F-250 Light Duty became the 7700 package for the F-150 model. So the Curt hitch will fit your 2002 Ford F-150 known as the 7700 package. You might have to lower the spare tire to install the hitch, but you will not have to remove the spare tire. The hitch will not fit vehicles that have a 20 inch wheel and tire as a spare tire.

It would be very difficult to remove. I would recommend the Curt Class V 2 Inch Hitch, part # C15409. This hitch has 17000 lbs towing weight capacity and 2550 lbs tongue weight capacity. If you will be towing with the Curt hitch you will also need the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 40331, the part # PC3 Pin and Clip, and the hitch ball. Depending on the coupler size...

If your truck already has the factory hitch, you will need to go with the Draw-Tite Class IV, part # 41929. This hitch is designed to install so that the receiver sits below the factory receiver.

You'll need to measure the distance from the center of your hitch pin hole to the rear-most part of the bumper, to determine how much clearance you need. The Curt # D-28, for instance might work well for you. It offers a 4 inch rise, and has a 6000 lb capacity. If the measurement you took is less than 8-1/4 inches, this ball mount would work very well for you. The compatible 2-5/16 trailer ball would be part # 63847. For a 3 inch rise,...

For hitch ball you'd then want the Curt part # C40085 and you'd be set.

I'm not sure if you are looking for a rise or drop, but something like the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 3" Rise, 4" Drop - 9-1/4" Long - 16K # 40331 would work for both. You would also need a 2" ball like # A-90. Keep in mind, you want to be as close as possible to level but it doesn't have to be perfect. If you're off by an inch it won't hurt. I have attached a link...
view full answer... - Extra-Long 2-1/2-Inch Ball Mount Rated for at Least 15,000-lbsWe offer both fixed and adjustable ball mounts that will fit a 2-1/2-inch hitch like the one on your 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty and you can see them all on the linked page. We do offer an extra-long fixed ball mount rated for 16K, part # BWBMHD30214, that has either a rise or drop of 6-inches. This ball mount uses a 5/8-inch hitch pin or lock such as # C21510 or # e98881, and it takes a hitch ball with a 1-1/4-inch shank diameter such as # C40030.

A Class V hitch like the Curt # C15410 would be a less expensive option. For a ball mount, use the Draw-Tite # 40331 with the # 19286 2-5/16 inch trailer ball. Anytime the weight of what you're towing exceeds half the weight of the tow vehicle, weight distribution is recommended. To choose a weight distribution system, you'll need to first determine the...

Since your Tahoe is the 'new body style' produced on the newer GMT800 platform the Curt Class IV hitch you mentioned, part # 14080 would be a fit for your vehicle.

If you're wanting a 3-1/2 inch drop, going with the Draw-Tite # 40331 with a 4 inch drop would put you within 1/2 inch of level, which is certainly close enough.

- Recommendations for Towing a 2007 Infinity G35 Sedan on a Car Hauler with a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71My research shows that your 2007 Infinity G35 sedan weighs somewhere around 3,500 pounds and with fuel in it, 20 gallons times 6 pounds, 120 pounds, it would weigh about 3,620. Of course you will need to take into account the weight of the trailer that you rent, anything you load in the Infinity for your move and any other items normally loaded in the vehicle. This means that your 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 must be capable of towing somewhere around 6,700 pounds or more. Researching the...

Still good bought for the correct height and capacity as parts store ones dont have the capacity rating for todays trucks. A new 3500 can bumper pull over 20k. Depends on , extension, etc. you would be surprised reading capacity of some of the hitches out there and how low they are.
