Video Transcript for Curt 3500lb Chrome Hitch Ball Review

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at the Curt 1 7/8 Inch Ball. Now this is with a One Inch Diameter Shank. Now this steel ball is gonna be a sturdy, great option for a trailer with a 1 7/8 inch coupler. Now it also has the one inch diameter. So when shopping for your ball mount, make sure that you are getting one with a one inch opening so it matches the diameter of the shank.

The shank length on this is 2 1/8 inch. So you also wanna make sure that it's going to have threads sticking out when you tighten up your ball to your ball mount. Speaking of tightening up the ball mount, it's gonna be important when you install this, which is pretty easy, to torque this to the proper specs. Now you can see this does include the nut and the lock washer here. You're simply going to put a wrench on this nice flat slotted part, and then tighten this down with a torque wrench to the proper specifications that the manufacturer recommends.

Now, it's very important to torque this down with the torque wrench. That way it's not too tight or too loose when towing. So if you don't have a torque wrench, we'll sell those here at etrailer, or you can rent one at an auto parts store, generally. But it's very important that you have this torqued properly And that way you know, that this isn't going to wobble loose when you're towing something. Now the steel construction has a nice chrome finish on it.

So it looks really good. Now, sometimes when you hook up to your trailer, it's good to put a little bit of grease here, and that's going to maintain that chrome appearance for a long time. Now, as far as the weight rating goes, this is good for 3,500 pounds, which is a decent amount of weight. So before hooking up to your trailer and towing, you're also gonna wanna make sure that the rest of components are up to snuff with that weight rating. And that includes your ball mount, your hitch, and also your vehicle.

Now you wanna take the lowest number out of all of those and stick with that when towing and that way you're not overdoing it. And that was a look at the Curt 1 7/8 Inch Ball with the One Inch Diameter Shank. Thanks for watching..

This fits our needs perfectly. My husband said it was easy to install. He is very happy.

Amazing customer service as usual!I love your products, they are heavily road tested and working excellently! I got a friend to buy a trailer hitch too, since it was so easy!



by:

Trailer ball and wiring harness fit perfect...
Two
out of the 5 holes in the trailer hitch did not line up. One was about an 1/8" off and the other was over a 1/4" off. I went to my local Fastenal store and bought a carbide burr $28 and about an hour of elongating the holes, finely got the them to fit
Bought the Nissan Murano brand new about 8 months ago.
Not happy about the extra work it took to make it fit...



by:

Exactly what I needed



by:

Hitch is great, easy install. Rusts a bit but that comes with the territory. I bought this because it was so helpful to have all solutions needed from the same company. I purchased with an after market hitch assembly for Ford Explorer.



by:

Great product! Fast delivery! Great customer service!



by:

The Hitch is great. Unfortunately the locking device I purchased with the hitch will not work on the inside due to restrictions of barriers within the area that the pin is inserted. This should be noted for sales people when being ordered with a Tesla Y. I will use the locking device on the side of the hitch and a small lock through the pin in the inside area of the hitch.



by:

Love my hitch! Gets me and my gear where I wanna go! Dylan really helped me get the perfect equipment for my 2012 Xterra. I am not super car smart but etrailer always gives me expert assistance.



by:

Very happy with etrailer.com so far ( I haven't installed my hitch yet). Their service to date has been excellent. I am a trailer newbie, so needed help choosing the towing components. The 2 folks I spoke to at etrailer.com could not have been more helpful. They answered all my questions and help select the correct components I needed. Would definitely recommend!!!



by:

Perfect for my needs



by:

Will buy again.

I called the customer
service line to ask questions about fitment and confirm I will receive the right products (ball mount, ball, and lock). They were EXCELLENT and if they weren't sure, they did the right research to confirm. Definitely worth buying from them.



by:

I have a 2015 Rav 4 and I ordered the wiring harness with the hitch, ball and receiver and it arrived the next day undamaged. I am happy with the quality of this product.



by:

Not too often you need a 1-7/8 ball in the fatter 1" diameter shank, but I did and it works as expected!



by:

The product was perfect. My compliment is for etrailer. Awesome people. Advice to users: watch the videos first. Also, I had to get a different drawbar because [rental trailer] needs the ball to be 18" off the ground and I only had 9". I installed this by myself on my sedan in about an hour; car was on the street, not elevated, and in the rain. Glad THAT is over.



by:

I was told about etrailer from an acquaintance. He said your prices were the best and your customer service was outstanding. After placing my order and receiving my products I have to say, I agree with him 100%! Ordered my items on Friday receive them on Monday... Good quality, fast delivery, fair price what else can I say! I will definitely refer etrailer and use your company in the future.



by:

Nice hitch ball. Fits the trailer tongue hitch perfectly. Delivery in only 3 days.



by:

Fits good, chrome holds up good.

Agree towing our camper many thousands of miles the Curt ball hitch is performing great!



by:

I have purchased several of etrailer's products. There staff is very helpful and courteous. The video are very helpful for explaining how it all works and give one an insight as to what to look for when installing one of their products. I recommend e-trailer to every one who I know that needs trailer and or trailer parts. Good Job etrailer.com



by:

I've always been happy with Curt products, this new ball seems to be no exception. It's exactly what I needed to complete my transformation from a class II hitch to a class III.



by:

The products are well made and I look forward to using them. I only wish etrailer fulfillment would have asked a question of "is this ball for this receiver". Because being new to all of this, I ordered the wrong size ball for the receiver and it would have been GREAT to have a second set of eyes to see this. I know it's my issue.



by:

Smooth, no defects, wrench knotches on base of ball, awesome feature. Many don't have that. Very solid. Fits snug in a one inch hitch hole.



by:

Like the clean high polished look.



by:

Product and pricing excellence is what etrailer is all about. They bakc it all up with great customer support. thanks etrailer.



by:

Way easy to install! The videos provided are a great help and fake you step by step. Highly recommend!!

  • Recommended Hitch And Wiring For A 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
    We definitely have options available to set up your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid to tow a trailer. The Curt # C13416 Class III Hitch is a great place to start. This American made hitch is rated up to 4,000 pounds towing and 600 pounds of tongue weight and will definitely handle the small trailer you are looking at. This is a bolt on application with no drilling is required, but if present, the tie down bracket from the bottom of the passenger-side frame rail will need to be removed. Next you...

  • 1-7/8 inch Hitch ball for Trailer Coupler
    If your ball mount has a standard 1 inch diameter shank you could use the Curt ball part # C40002 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball. The other popular size is 3/4 inch diameter which would mean you'd want the part # 19256. I also attached a link to a page that has all of the 1-7/8 inch hitch balls we carry as well.

  • Parts Needed To Haul 800 lb Motorcycle & Trailer With A 2014 Jeep Cherokee
    I would recommend getting a Class III 2 inch Hitch Receiver # C13172. This Curt hitch will have plenty of strength to haul your 800lb motorcycle and trailer. It will fit a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk or Non-Trailhawk version. If you have the factory tow package all you need is this trailer connector # HM40975-11933 but if you to not, you will need this vehicle wiring harness # 118605. You'll need a ball mount to haul your trailer. I would say a 4 inch rise ball mount # D-28 would counteract...

    There is one ball mount that meets your criteria for 10 inches of rise as well as more than 7 inches of clearance from the hitch pin hole to the hitch ball: - Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 80248 This ball mount will give you 9-3/4 inches of rise (that 1/4 inch is not a factor; you just need to be within an inch or so of level) and measures from 9 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball. For a hitch ball, depending on your trailer's coupler you will need...

  • Recommended 6 Inch Drop Ball Mount with Extended Length for a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    I recommend using the Curt Ball Mount part # D-28 which has a 6" drop. We do not have a 2" ball mount that offers exactly 6-1/2" of drop with an extended shank but since the vehicle will squat a bit while attached to the trailer, the 1/2" difference will not be an issue for you. This ball mount slides into a 2" receiver tube opening and works with hitch balls that have a 1" diameter shank. If you need a hitch ball I recommend using part # C40002 for 1-7/8", part # C40004 for 2", or part...

    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13235 is a confirmed fit for your 2002 Isuzu Rodeo with the door mounted spare tire. This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver tube opening. If you will be towing a trailer you will also need a trailer wiring harness and ball mount/hitch ball if you do not already have them. For a trailer wiring harness I recommend taking a look at the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118360 and for a ball mount...

  • Recommended Ball Mount for a EcoHitch Mounted Behind the License Plate
    From the hitch pin hole to the edge of the license plate is 8" with the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7186 installed on your 2015 Chevy Volt. With this in mind, I recommend the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches item # 2753. It measures 9" from the hitch pin hole to where the hitch ball sits so this will give you plenty of room to clear your license plate and the back of your car. For hitch balls you will want item # 63845 for a 2" ball or item # C40002 for a 1-7/8" ball.

  • Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch & Access Hole Cover That Fits 2019 Tesla Model 3
    Definitely a smart idea to check, and the Stealth Hitches trailer hitch does fit your 2019 Tesla Model 3, as does the ball mount, so here is exactly what you will need for your 2019 Tesla Model 3: - Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317 - Ball Mount for Stealth Hitches Hidden Receiver Hitch # 391BMU7S Then for a hitch ball, depending on your trailer's coupler size you will need either the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40002, 2" Hitch Ball # 40038 or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40007.

    I went ahead and checked out what we have for your 2003 Toyota Matrix and while we do not have any class III hitches that'll work with your vehicle, we do still have other options available. Instead, I recommend checking out the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12221. This is a class II trailer hitch that is a custom fit for your vehicle, has a maximum towing capacity of 2,500-lbs, and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 250-lbs. With that being said, a class II hitch is not going to be...

  • Recommended Hitch Ball Shank Length for Curt Ball Mount for 2 Inch Hitches
    For the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2-3/8" Rise, 3-5/8" Drop - Angled Shank - 7,500 lbs # C45230 you will need a hitch ball with a 1 inch shank that is just over 2 inches long. For a 1-7/8 inch ball diameter, I recommend the Curt # C40002. For a 2 inch ball diameter, I recommend # 40038. These shank lengths of 2-1/8 and 2-1/4 inches will allow for the ball platform thickness as well as the lock washer and nut.

  • Is Cushioned Ball Mount Recommended for Light Trailer
    The polyurethane interior that cushions the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC2 will still be beneficial for you even though your trailer is lightweight and this ball mount has a 10,000 lb towing capacity and 2,000 lb tongue weight capacity. Even with a light tear trailer there is still going to be movement that occurs when you are towing; your trailer will bounce and inertia is going to cause some shock and strain on your vehicle when you stop, start and slow down.

    We can definitely help you out, and you are right about the factory tow package hitch on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited being a Class II hitch, though it also has a 2 inch receiver, which is an odd combo not seen on aftermarket hitches. That said, if your current hitch is bolted on (and not welded) I highly recommend replacing it with an aftermarket hitch, the Class III Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT78MR.

    From the information I have on your mother's 2009 Kia Spectra, her vehicle has a maximum tongue weight rating of 200 pounds. With that maximum vehicle rating, even if there was a hitch receiver rated for over 200 pounds, you would still need to abide by that 200-pound maximum capacity of the vehicle. With that being said, unfortunately, the only hitch we carry for her vehicle is the Curt Hitch - 1-1/4" # C11679. In order to make sure that your mother's Spectra has a maximum weight capacity...

To carry your extra gear while you go camping what you can use is the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers # D210 which allows you to use a hitch ball to tow and has a receiver on top for a cargo carrier such as the Curt # C18113.

There's no way for me to know how much room you have or if you have the needed space so you'd need to take some measurements, of course, and the # D210 extends 12-1/2" from the hitch pin hole to the hitch ball.

When we installed this receiver on a 2021 model year in our shop the hitch height measured at 11-3/4" to the top inside of the receiver.
