Video Transcript for Curt 1-7/8 Inch Stainless Steel Hitch Ball Review
What's up, everybody out of here with Etrailer today, we're gonna be taking a look at the CURT Trailer Ball. When it comes to trailer balls, there's a couple of things we need to make sure of, to make sure it's gonna work. One, this is an 1-7/8 size, so make sure to check your coupler, make sure that it is the right size, and also keep in mind the weight that you're working with. It's gonna have a 2000 pound weight limit, and with that, that's just gonna make sure that the ball's in the right size, and it's gonna be able to handle some of the weight that you have on your trailer. And then another thing that really matters is the ball mount. So we are gonna have to pick one out, and one thing we need to make sure of is of course, we wanna pair it up with the weight rating of the ball to make sure that the ball mount is not gonna be limiting us at all, and also with the plate that amounts to, it needs to be in between 3-7/8 inch to 7-7/8 inch thick, anything more than that it's not gonna work, anything less isn't gonna work either.
The shank is about two and eight inches long, and the diameter is three quarters of an inch. With the diameter, that's just gonna be the hole on your ball mount, and we wanna make sure that that is the correct size, anything bigger than that there's gonna be a lot of play and anything smaller than that, it's just not gonna fit. With this, we really wanna piece this together kind of carefully just, to make sure everything's gonna be safe on the road. So once you figure out capacities, once you figure out the right size, and then of course just make sure that the ball mount works with it, you're pretty much ready to go. It's made of stainless steel, so it is gonna resist against that rust and corrosion pretty well.
If you we're to upgrade, there are some that are machined out of one piece of metal. So those are gonna be coated as well, so that is gonna be an upgraded version of this, but when it comes to trailer balls, it just gets the job done. Pretty much, that's all there really is to know about the CURT 1-7/8 trailer ball..

As expected, delivery was quick

I'm so very glad I found etrailer, I purchased this hitch and a ball mount and was easily able to have it installed onto the car without the need to trim my vehicle's heat-shield. It looks as great as it is functional and adds a good bit of versatility to the vehicle as well as a nice cosmetic look when not in use. The hitch tucks nicely under the vehicle and supports weight well. I drive a Fiesta ST with already low clearance on the suspension, but am still able to tow a small trailer which is really nice to be able to do with a smaller vehicle. Excellent product and e-trailer was great to work with an answered any questions I had!

Fits my Polaris perfectly and allow a level pull of my weed sprayer.

Both the wiring harness and hitch receiver were very easy to put on. The hardest part was separating the wiring clips from the rear lights to put the new adapter in. You have to be kind of physical with it to get it apart. Then the new ones just snapped right in. 20 minute job. The hitch receiver went right on in the pre-drilled/threaded holes in the chassis. This was on a 2006 Toyota Corolla S.

I keep this ball in the trunk of my car next to the spare tire when not in use. It has not corroded at all and looks brand new after 1 year. Mounting the ball is a cinch and only requires an adjustable wrench. No problems with the product so far.
by: Alexandros P.10/15/2017
I got a Curt trailer hitch for my 2013 Civic Si. The product was delivered really fast and with everything as promised. The guys from etrailer included detailed step-by-step instructions for installation for my vehicle. I was able to install it by myself with one more person helping out. Very happy with my purchase.
by: Ron 07/31/2017
A good product! This is the second hitch I have installed using etrailer and it went as well as the first. Not being a super skilled Tech it took longer than expected, but for me it was a project that needed to be done, and I enjoy a good project when it comes together, no matter if it took a little longer due to an average person's tool inventory and simple jack stands and floor jacks. The instruction videos are the best I have seen as of yet. If you enjoy working with your hands, I recommend etrailer products!
by: Vernon08/28/2017
I highly recommend etrailer hitch and wiring harness They were both easy to install. The Prius pull the motorcycle camping trailer very well. You would not even know it was hooked to the car
by: Richard06/02/2018
While visiting family in Brooklyn, N.Y. my trailer hitch was stolen. What can you expect it was Crookland, oops I mean Brooklyn. This was an exact replacement. Fast service, nothing bad to say all is good except my feelings for Brooklyn.
by: Chas.08/20/2016
Over priced. Found for $14 at local RV parts store. Good otherwise. It's a big piece of metal, what could go wrong. Unless you know what size you'll need get the 3500lb ball, more likely to be what you need.
by: Joe F11/21/2014
We ordered Class II drawbar and two hitch balls. We appreciated the completeness of the online website and the ease for placing the order. We are very satisfied with the high quality of the products and speed of receiving our order.
by: Frederick08/28/2021
The hitch ball is a very solid product as well, but I think I ordered the wrong size for the trailer that I will be getting this Sunday. The trailer I will get has a 2" ball hitch.
by: Tom 07/24/2021
Would have been nice to receive the tracking number sooner and the 3 day shipping actually took 5 days

Here in Florida, we quickly learn the value of stainless hardware. This hitch ball should last until the end of time.

- How To Carry 300lbs Of Cargo With Trailer Hitch Receiver On 2015 Mini CooperI may have another option for you, but there is not a 2" trailer hitch receiver made for your 2015 Mini Cooper at this time. Since you do not have an S or John Cooper Works Model the hitch with the highest tongue weight rating is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11417 which has a 200lb tongue weight rating and 2000lb trailer weight rating. If you have a spare tire located under your vehicle you will need to remove it to install the # C11417. To be able to carry 300lbs with your Mini...

I've also attached a video of this installation to further assist. For a ball mount on this hitch, I recommend the Curt # C45521 with hitch ball # A-82 or # A-80 along with hitch pin # F-4. Finally for trailer wiring I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118646....

For trailer wiring the best option is the Curt Wire Harness # C56030 which is very easy to install with plug-in connectors that match your tail light connectors. For a hitch ball you'd need just the part # A-80 and you'd be set.

We have a trailer hitch available for your Elantra if you have an SE model that is not a sport. The trailer hitch receiver I recommend is the Curt hitch # C11424 for an Elantra SE. This hitch has a gross towing weight of 2,000 pounds. However, this doesn't mean the car will be able to tow 2,000 pounds. You will be limited by the lowest...

If you have an 'H' in the 8th position of the VIN, the hitch I recommend is part # C11010. This is also a Class l hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. None of these trailer hitches come with...

- Fit of Curt Class I C11412 Hitch on 2015 Volkswagen Golf TSiAccording to the Curt website, if you run the # C11412 through their part search and application information on the product page, it's stated that the # C11412 Class I hitch is a fit for all models of the 2015 VW Golf and GTI. If you'll be doing light duty towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118646 unless you have a GTI or R model, in which case you'd use # 119250KIT. You'll also need a ball mount like # C45521, a hitch pin like # PC2 and either an #...

We don't carry any scooter carriers with ramps for this hitch size but if you have found one elsewhere it could work possibly. Your best option would be to tow a small trailer which would require you to also get trailer wiring like part # HM11141120. Then for a ball mount you'd need the # C45521 and...
view full answer... - Best Way of Carrying Motorcycle on 2015 Subaru ImprezaThe only hitches available for a 2015 Subaru Impreza are a Class I, which would lack the tongue weight capacity to handle the weight of your bike plus a hitch mounted carrier. Typically this happens when it's determined that the under body structure of the vehicle isn't capable of handling weight in excess of 200 lbs. Your best bet would be to install a hitch and use a small trailer. For the 5 door wagon with a single exhaust, I'd recommend the Curt # C11286 and the Tekonsha # 118573 wiring...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2013 Volkswagen BeetleYou want the Curt, part # C11354, for your convertible 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. The other hitch you mentioned, part # C11260, fits the coupe model but not your convertible. If you plan to use the hitch to carry a cargo carrier, bike rack, or some other non-trailer accessory you also need to use a support strap, part # 18050, in order to be compliant with Curt's warranty. If instead you'll be towing a trailer with your Beetle, you don't need the strap but do need the recommend ball mount,...
view full answer... - Can Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11453 Be Used for Towing The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11453 that you referenced does feature a 1,000 pound towing weight capacity so the hitch itself is capable of towing a trailer as long as it doesn't exceed this limit. With that being said you will still want to check the towing limits of your Nissan Micra as stated in the owner's manual. Because you will always be limited by your weakest component, you will need to adhere to whichever limit is lower, the vehicle's or the hitch's. If you do find that...

The Curt trailer hitch comes with a limited lifetime warranty and is assembled in the USA, and the T-Connector is the corresponding wiring kit for your 2019 Subaru WRX. I have attached install videos and a few pictures of this hitch installed for you to reference. To complete a towing setup you...

Whenever the choice is available, I'll always recommend going with the 2 inch receiver, as there are many more hitch mounted accessories available. For a 4-pole trailer wiring harness, I'd recommend the Tekonsha # 118494. You'll also need a ball mount and a trailer ball. If you go with the Class II # 36408,...

As noted in the linked installation video at the 18-second mark, the top of the receiver opening will be approximately 10-3/4-inches above the ground once installed. With this hitch you will need to use one of the ball mounts recommended by Curt. If you want to use a standard ball mount that allows you to select your own hitch ball you can order part # C45521....

Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. This is a Class ll hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.

Great! All componenents were installed in a 2015 Chevy Spark. Pulled a 4×8 U-haul trailer from Colorado Springs to South Florida and it managed without a problem.
