What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out this CURT hitch ball. We're gonna be putting it on our ball mount right here. It's gonna be a two and 5/16-inch size. Let's check it out. Hitch ball is gonna be an important part of your ball mount, so you're gonna make sure you get the right size for the coupler on your trailer, because it's what your trailer's gonna sit on.
So this is two and 5/16. And then the shank here is gonna be an inch diameter. So make sure that matches up with the ball mount you want to use. We'll drop that through. We got a lock nut and a regular nut that we'll put on there underneath.
Now I'm just gonna hand tighten it today. You're gonna want to make sure you torque it down to the right specifications when you get it. You can't just tow with a loose ball on the ball mount. So as you're tightening it down, you can see the flat sides on this, the base here of the ball. That's gonna be good for the wrench to get in there and hold that tight, so you can really tighten down the bottom to make sure it's torched.
This two and 5/16 hitch ball has a gross trailer weight rating of 7,500 pounds. It's gonna have a tongue weight rating of 750 pounds. So just keep that in mind with what you wanna haul. You want to go with the lowest common denominator in your setup. So the ball's rated at 7,500 gross trailer weight rating.
Your ball mount here is only rated at 6,000, and the hitch might be less than that. So whatever the smallest number is, go with that one, so you don't stress out your setup. The ball is gonna have a chrome-plated nickel finish on it. It's gonna hold up to the elements. If you leave it on the back of your vehicle all the time, it won't rust and corrode. Also, when you go to hook up to your coupler, it will scratch it up a little bit. That just comes with towing a trailer. That was a quick look at this two and 5/16-inch ball from CURT. Now just make sure you get those measurements on the ball mount you want to use it with, that shank being an inch diameter, and making sure your trailer is a coupler with a two and 5/16-inch ball that will work with it. I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and hope this helped.

Durable chrome ball has a 1" diameter x 2-1/8" long shank with fine threads for a superior grip. The nickel chrome finish provides corrosion-resistance.
Met all expectations. I wish it was packaged better with my other items. The ball was loose in the box and was smashing into my new chromed draw bar during shipping. The wrench flats were helpful installing this into the draw bar.
Looks like a good quality tow ball. I'll never be able to tell you though. I cut the shank off to build my own trailer coupler lock for cheaper than a purpose built coupler lock. This ball plus the e98883 coupler pin lock makes my trailers secure in my yard as well as anywhere we go. Trailer can't be towed away if there is already a hitch ball locked in the coupler and there a only enough shank left to grab the ball but not enough left to hook it to a new hitch reciever. And by buying enough keyed-alike coupler pin locks, one key fits all trailers unlike previous setups I tried where each coupler lock had its own key.
Looks great and appears to of high quality and thick chrome.
well made. This is the standard that I use for my hitches
It is a ball!
GREAT BALL
well made, strong
Does what is supposed to do
This is a 2-5/16” trailer ball. It’s the smaller shank diameter. All installed with no issues.
Trailer ball came exactly as described fast shipping was kept very informed of order status
Fit the hitch and trailer perfectly. Tightening down to the proper spec was a little difficult with hand tools, but managed to make it work.
The ball is mated perfectly (rating 7500 lbs) to the rest of my hitch system - Meriah found it for me looking thru her in stock products
