Video Transcript for Curt 2-5/16" Chrome Hitch Ball Review
What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out this CURT hitch ball. This is gonna be going on a ball mount platform, so you can hook up your coupler to it. Let's check it out. It's gonna be a two and 5/16-inch ball. It's gonna have an inch-thick shank diameter here, so you just drop that through the platform to attach it.
You got the lock nut and the regular nut right at the bottom. Now I'm just gonna do it hand-tighten right now. When you get this, you're gonna wanna make sure this is torqued to the specifications required. You can't just leave it loose in here and tow your trailer. You want to make sure it's really tight and torqued down before you hook up to go.
So we'll get this tightened down by hand. Now you can either do it this way or upside-down, depending on if you want to rise or drop. Either way, it's gonna work the same way. It's gonna have a weight capacity or a trailer weight rating of 10,000 pounds. It's gonna have a tongue weight rating of 1,000 pounds.
So just keep that in mind with what you're wanting to haul. Looking closer at the base here, you'll see these flat sides on the side of the ball. That's gonna be good for putting your wrench there. So when you go to torque down the bottom here, you can know you get a nice hold on it to get it really tight, to get to the specification you need to. It's gonna have a chrome-plated finish with a nickel alloy coating on the outside.
So when you leave it on the back of your vehicle all the time, the elements aren't gonna bother it. Overall, this is gonna be a good hitch ball to add to your ball mount. Just make sure that you get that shank diameter right so it's gonna fit in there, and check your trailer coupler to make sure you need that two and 5/16-inch ball. Well, here that does it. Thanks for hanging out and hope this helps.

It is as described on etrailer and looks to be of good quality. Dealing with etrailer was, as always, pleasant. Kelly, was very helpful!

Works as it should
by: Ryan P.12/06/2013
Needed a 12" drop hitch for my truck since it has quite a bit of lift. Not only did etrailer have the highest rated 12" drop hitch I could find but also the cheapest! I also ordered a 2 & 5/16ths ball that also rated at 10,000lbs. My boat and trailer loaded up is about 6500/7000 so this will def cover the pay load and then some. Shipping was very fast and everything was well boxed together. Would def recommend this company to anyone I knew.
by: Jerome05/12/2019
This trailer ball is well made, the threads are cut nicely, and it fits the trailer hitch tightly. I gave it 4 start out of 5 because it does not have a terribly heavy trailer rating considering it is a 2 5/16 ball. I understood this when I ordered it, as my trailer isn't that big, and I needed a ball with a 1 inch shank. I received very good help from the salesperson on the phone, in getting my order together. All in all a good experience.
PS Quality wise, for a 10,000# ball, this should probably be 5 start, but I gave it 4 stars because most 2 5/16 hitches are rated for far more than that, and for a bigger trailer, I wouldn't want the ball to be the weak link.
by: Ralph B.01/23/2017
The ball, ball mount and pin and clip all function nicely. The Brake controller along with the wiring harness were very easy to install. Controller applies trailer brakes smoother and more effectively than any I've ever had. Order process was easy and shipping was prompt. Very Satisfied.
by: Larry 12/05/2020
Used it with maxx tow adjustable height ball mount hitch also ordered from etrailer. It worked well with no issues. Came in very handy when needed. Free shipping was a big plus.
by: Brad B.11/12/2013
Received my 12" drop and ball about two weeks ago, the shipping was phenomenal ! They got it to me in two days on standard shipping. The drop works great with my 8" lift on my f250. Town straight as a arrow, and the cushion mount Smith's out any trailer slam I have felt with in the past.
by: Nathan01/02/2018
Used it to tow an empty 2500lb utility trailer with my Subaru Outback from CO springs to New Mexico. Worked great on the 380 mile trip, no problems, very heavy duty construction.
by: James11/21/2019
I purchased these items one week before a Thanksgiving camping trip. I recently bought a new camper and forgot that I needed a 2 and 5/16 ball with a hitch that supports my trailer sway system. I picked 5 to 7 day shipping (foolish) and was pleased when my order was upgraded to 3 to 5 day express shipping FREE. Everything arrived 3 days before our trip and worked perfectly.
Great products and great customer service. Happy Thanksgiving to all ...
by: Peter B.06/17/2013
I needed a 2 5/8" hitch ball with a 1" shank to fit my truck and trailer. None of the local stores carried this combination. Your store had just what I wanted and the price with shipping was no more than picking one up in the store. Your on line order process was simple and I had my equipment in just a few days! I will shop here again if I have a need.

Fit the Brophy class IV 10” drop hitch I ordered with it perfectly.
by: mark Hays05/10/2015
This is actually the second order I have placed and normally I don't do surveys or reviews but the quality of the parts is outstanding and both orders were delivered with in in three days. I am a first time trailer owner and picked up my trailer yesterday all of the parts fit perfect and look great. The thing I really appreciate are the step by step installation videos.
by: M. Harris02/12/2015
All of the products are High quality, what I expected them to be. But even better, they came with-in a 24 hour period, and that was the best part of it all, because I was not expecting the parts to arrive until at least 5 days. As I said on my earlier review, I had searched around my town where I live, and could not find an inexpensive towing ball in the size that I needed for the right price, nor the friction sway control kit, and one could just forget about finding a sway control bracket. Thanks, again etrailer for such great service, which I truly thought, didn't exist anymore.
by: Lyn C.05/24/2017
Perfect. Correct hitch ball for my horse trailer thanks to these guys. Thanks for making me feel I am towing my precious cargo as safely as possible.
by: Randy C10/27/2016
I received my order very quick and all items are just as advertised. I will defantly order from e-trailer again. Prices are ok too. I am impressed with the product lines they offer.
I'll be in the market for one or two trailer brake controllers very soon.
by: Jim N09/22/2015
One of the few hitch balls rated at 10,000lbs... and my new trailer weighs in at 9600. Mounted cleanly. We'll find out how it works when we pick up the trailer on Saturday.
by: JJ Vagabond02/19/2022
Landed on my doorstep less than 72 hours late w free shipping. Can't ask for much more and the Curt 2 5/16" ball replaces a 15 y/o ball so I'm good for another 15+. Can't go wrong with either Curt or etrailer. Thx again.
by: Steve L11/12/2012
The Curt chrome Hitch Ball 2-5/16 - 10,000 pounds with a 1 inch shaft fits perfectly in my current 10,000 pound receiver. I am towing a 8,500 pound load with an Atwood Coupler. The coupler and ball fit each other without any problems.
by: Rod W.09/04/2016
Using to move a dump trailer with my tractor to move firewood. Needed long enough shaft for a 1 1/4 drawbar. Works well for my application.
by: Dennis B04/01/2015
I purchased this ball to go with the AMSC 12 cushioned ball mount I purchased at the same time. I was tipped by other reviewers that this ball had a 1# shank and would be difficult to purchase elsewhere being a 2 5/16# ball rated at 10,000 lbs. I won't be using it for another month or so but glad I have it on hand so it will be there when I need it. Thanks to your other reviewer for this info

- Does Using Extra Long Ball Mount BM20 Reduce The Tongue Weight Capacity Of Trailer Hitch Receiver?The Brophy Ball Mount - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 15-3/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BM20 you were looking at has a 1,000lb tongue weight rating and 10,000lb trailer weight rating so you will have no issues using it with your camper that has 500lbs of tongue weight. Extended ball mounts do not reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch like a hitch extender does as the ball mount is one piece where the extender adds another connection in. This ball mount uses a 1" hitch ball so you will need...
view full answer... - Determining Rise Or Drop Of Ball Mount To Tow Level With Truck that Sits Up HighIt sounds like you need a ball mount with a drop to tow level with your trailer since your truck sits up higher. To figure out how much drop, you want to measure from the top of the receiver hitch on the truck to the ground. Then measure from the bottom of the coupler on the trailer to the ground. The difference between those two numbers is the amount of drop you need. Since I am not sure of the truck measurement I cannot tell you how much drop you need at this time. I have attached a helpful...
view full answer... - Hitch Ball Recommendation for Curt D-4 Trailer Hitch Ball MountYou will need a ball that matches your trailer coupler. The required ball size should be stamped into the top of the coupler. For a 1-7/8 inch ball you will want hitch ball # 19260. For a 2 inch ball you will want # 63849. For a 2-5/16 inch ball you will want # C40007. I have included a FAQ article on choosing hitch balls for you to check out.
view full answer... - Is Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount Overkill For Smaller TrailerHey Manny, Even with a smaller trailer, it is not overkill and you can absolutely benefit using the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # 325-GH-12001. A trailer, regardless of size, is still going to be rigid, bounce, and affect the ride of your tow vehicle and the trailer. So adding some cushioning like you get with the Glyder is definitely a good idea, and something I recommend. So if you do decide to go with the ball mount you'll also need a hitch ball, either...

This receiver is completely hidden by removing the receiver tube that is for carrying hitch mounted accessories.

view full answer... - Ball Mount Closest to 8 Inches of Rise for 2 Inch Trailer Hitch ReceiverWe do have a ball mount option that will work for you, and since you measured your trailer coupler to be about 18-1/2 inches off the ground and the top of your hitch receiver to be about 10-1/2 inches off the ground you will need a ball mount with close to 8 inches of rise, and the closest option to that is the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 8-3/4" Rise # AMSC10. So long as you are within about an inch you will still be level, so the 3/4 inch difference in rise is going to...

To figure out the correct rise or drop you need with your 2004 Honda Pilot measure from the ground to the inside top of the trailer hitches opening with the vehicle parked on level ground. Then measure from the ground to the underside of the trailer's coupler with it level as well. The difference between the two tells you how much of a rise (the trailer is higher than the vehicle) or a drop (the vehicle is higher than the trailer)...

Since you do not want to purchase the wiring harness what you can do is get the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH27FR and purchase the ball mount separately Item # 391BMU5S. There's no hitch that checks all of your boxes and if you don't want to mess with your ground clearance and block the trunk sensor you'll need to go with one that has a removable...
view full answer... - How To Extend Trailer Hitch For 10,000lb Boat Trailer On 2020 Ram 3500 Dually With Bed CamperA hitch extender, such as the Brophy Hitch Extender # ST18, will work with your 6,000lb boat trailer if used with a weight distribution hitch. This is because the # ST18 has a max towing capacity of 3,500lbs and tongue weight of 350lbs, but when used in combination with a weight distribution system, this extender can handle up to 7,000lbs and 700lb tongue weight. You can look through our weight distribution hitches and find one based on your tongue weight of your trailer (which is roughly...
view full answer... - Recommendation to Reduce Chucking on Lightweight Tandem Cargo TrailerUsing a weight distribution system would be your best option if you don't have an aluminum frame. If you have a steel frame, I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion # FA92-00-0450 along with the 2 inch hitch ball # 40038 and thin walled socket # ALL643216. If you have an aluminum frame you will need to check with the manufacturer about WD system use. Since the biggest issue is when you are towing empty, I recommend using a brake controller...
view full answer... - Will the Reese Swat Control Bracket Work With Curt Ball Mounts.Yes the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts part # RP26003 will work perfectly with the Curt Dual Length Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45230. To combine them you need to use a 1" shank ball. If you do not already have one then use the 2" Hitch Ball part # 63845 or the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball part # C40007 these both offer a longer shank to ensure it will have threads long enough with adding the additional space with the plate. If you do not have your sway control yet the Reese...
view full answer... - Availability of Convert a Ball Ball Mount # AMSC10 and Hole Diameter for Ball Hole PlatformYes, we still offer the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC10 that you referenced. The ball hole diameter is 1 inch. For a 2 inch ball you'd want the part # 40038 or for a 2-5/16 inch ball you'd want part # C40007.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution for Riverside Whitewater Retro 179 SEThe Blue Ox Weight Distribution system part # BLU36FR is a great option for a weight distribution system for your 179SE based on the weights you mentioned. But to use a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball you'd have to swap out what comes with it and go with the part # C40008 which will fit in place and is the size you want. For this tongue weight range of weight distribution they are not available with the larger ball size as a kit.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for 300 Lbs Total Tongue WeightIn order to choose the correct weight distribution system, you will need to find the total tongue weight (TTW) of your towing setup by adding the tongue weight (TW) of both your loaded ready to tow trailer and any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. An easy way to find this would involve using a tongue weight scale like the etrailer Trailer Tongue Weight Scale part # e99044. When choosing a weight distribution system, you will want your TTW to fall in the middle of the...
view full answer... - Determining Correct Ball Mount for 2007 Honda Odyssey to Tow Pop Up CamperThe way to determine the correct amount of rise (or drop) needed to tow a trailer level there are a couple of measurements needed. First you would measure from the ground up to the top of the receiver opening on the trailer hitch. Then, with the trailer level, measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the trailer is higher the difference is the amount of rise you will need. And if the vehicle is higher the difference is the amount of drop you would need. On the 2007 Honda...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Ball for Brophy Ball Mount BM20The Brophy Ball Mount part # BM20 has a 1" diameter ball hole so you will need to use a hitch ball with 1" diameter shank, the Curt Hitch Ball part # 40038 for 2" or part # C40007 for 2-5/16".

The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer hitch receiver # 391AUDQ518 you were looking at for your 2018 Audi SQ5 is not rated for towing and is only rated for carrying accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Using it to tow will void the warranty of the hitch. Since you do not need all of the wiring for towing your 17' boat then you can just purchase the Ball Mount for Stealth Hitches Hidden Receiver Hitch # 391BMU7S which can be used in place of the receiver...
view full answer... - Adding Sway Control to 2018 Land Rover Discovery without Weight Distribution HitchYou are correct in looking at the Curt Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tab for 2" Hitches # D320. The hitch rating on the trailer is a class IV rating as a maximum. The ball mount you see is still within the maximum weight of your Keystone Premier Ultra Bullet so you will be fine. This also will give you the closest possible fit for your tow ball height requirement by Land Rover. For the ball use 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter # C40007. It has the 1" diameter shank that you need for the ball...
view full answer... - 2 inch Rise Ball Mount Recommendation that is 10 inches from Ball Hole to Pin HoleThe part number # C45230 would be your best option. This ball mound will do 2-3/8 inches of rise which would be close enough for your setup most likely when you take into account a bit of sag from the weight of your trailer's tongue weight. The ball mount is 10-1/4 inches from the center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole as well. For a 2 inch ball the part # 40038 would be what you need and for a 2-5/16 inch ball part # C40007.

We have asked Curt before about lightweight trailers between 2k and 5k and they do agree there won't be enough tongue weight to compress the cushioned isolator so you would essentially be paying for something you can't use.

- Can You Use a Hitch Ball With a 1" Shank On The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch?Since the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA94-00-0600 has a 1-1/4" hole for a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6100 you will need a Hitch Ball Bushing # F-2 to use your 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40007 with a 1" shank. This will prevent the ball from moving around inside the larger opening on the hitch.
view full answer... - Best Solution for Reducing Sag on 2001 Nissan Xterra from Trailer Tongue WeightActually your best option is a weight distribution system. Not only does a WD system allow the vehicle's suspension to be more level, but since it does so by redistributing the tongue weight up to the front axle of the tow vehicle you end up with better handling and braking as well. The Fastway E2 kit part # FA92-00-0450 would be a great option that would work well, has a tongue weight range that would work well on your trailer, and uses smaller frame brackets that would fit your trailer...

This system is specifically designed for lighter weight trailers like yours. You don't want to use a higher capacity system because it will give you a stiff uncomfortable ride. This system works with tongue weights up to 450 lbs. Tongue weight is typically 10% -15% of your trailer's total weight so this will be perfect for yours. The Fastway e2 item # FA92-00-0450 has...
