What's up everybody. It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out this Pintle Hook from Curt. It's gonna be a good way to hook up to your lunette ring trailer and be able to transport that. I suggest looking at this one if you only have one trailer, you got one truck, you know exactly what height you need because this isn't gonna be adjustable, but that's a good thing if you only have that same truck, that same trailer, you can pull this right up to it, lower it down on there and get on the way. Let's check it out.
First things first, this is gonna be made for two and a half inch hitches. So make sure you have that style of hitch if you're gonna go ahead and get this pintle hook. Now there's different ones out there for different size hitches, so make sure you check our website and get the right one. Let's check out how it works. So we're gonna just pull this pin.
When we're ready to set up our trailer. We've backed it up to where the lunette ring would be. We gotta push on this lever, with your thumb to raise this part up. Lemme show you it doesn't lift up on his own. So you had to pull that pin, push that lever, to get this ready to go.
Then you'd back it up to your lunette ring trailer, lower the ring down over this. So this will go in the center. Then you'll push this back down. The ring would still be here, and it's gonna keep it from popping up, chucking or anything you see that this cap isn't gonna let it pop up there. Definitely make sure you always put your pin back in once it's hooked up to your trailer.
And I would also recommend maybe getting a locking pin too. That way it's something you can lock up, and it can't be messed with when you're not around. Now, something to think about if you haul multiple different trailers is maybe a adjustable pintle hook. So that's gonna be able to be moved up and down for different heights and different trailers. Not to mention your trucks too. So that is an option that's out there. If you have a bunch of trailers, I would go that way, that way you can adjust it. You don't have to pull this out. Get a different one. It's just, I don't want to hassle with any of that. Now, along with the adjustment ones, there are ones that have the built-in ball. So it works as a pintle hook and a ball mount. That's the one I like the best, just 'cause that way I don't ever really have to pull this out and switch out with an anything, it can stay in the hitch at all times. I can adjust it where I need it. I can use it for each, either one of the trailers I wanna pull that day. As far as those different styles go, I usually come back to the current ones. I just really like how those work. They have a bunch of different features that I didn't even think about before I started messing with them. So with all the different pintle hooks you're done, with that combination of the ball mount pintle hook I really like. Either one of them has a backing on it. So that when you back up to the trailer, the lunette ring will hit that and you'll feel it, or see it in your backup camera, that way you just have a visual of oh, it's hit there. You lower the trailer down onto that ball. Then as you lower it, this part is actually flipped up and I'll hit that, flip it down, and it does so much things for you that you don't have to do and come out here and mess with, I really like those features. I would not have thought them if I hadn't got to mess with all those so, those are just recommendations for you to check out if you're interested in those features too. Adjustable pintle hooks aside, this is gonna have a gross towing weight of 20,000 pounds. Now if you think you need a little bit more than that, there's a Brophy one, that's almost identical to this except it has a higher weight rating, and that's gonna be 36,000 pounds. And that's gonna work with lunette rings with a minimum inner diameter of two and a half inches. So just keep that in mind with what kind of trailer with a lunette ring you wanna use it with. Now the the construction's gonna be a black powder coat steel. So you don't have to worry about it rusting or corroding if you left it on the back of your hitch, it's going to be resistant to that, so rather you leave it on here all the time, or you take it off and throw in the back of your truck, it's gonna be just fine. Otherwise I think it's gonna work great, it's kind of a simple pintle hook, but if you only have one trailer, you're not worried about having it adjustable, you're not worried about different heights and stuff like that. This is gonna do exactly what you need it to do. It's gonna be to hook up your trailer and get on the road. Well, thanks for hanging out. And I hope this helped..

Working great I use the fixed straight hitch when I need a little more hitch height or the adjustable hitch depending on which application works better.
Etrailer is my go-to place for anything trailer related. Good quality, excellent service, prompt delivery. Doesn't get much better than this! Keep up the good work...
Excellent communication and speedy deli very!
High quality for a great price. Hard to find 2.5" receiver pintle hitch for my new Dodge Ram 2500. Very heavy duty, will liky outlast the truck. This company is one of the best I have ever dealt with. The only complaint I ever had was a request for better packaging even though nothing was ever damaged. Later orders have had improved packaging.
So far so good, some signs of wear but thats to be expected considering we are pulling close to GCVW. All and all its been working well.
I am very satisfied with the Pintle hook and the young lady, Vicki N, who assisted me. I also received the item 2 days earlier than expected. I am a returning customer and will continue to shop etrailer.
We have used this to make at least 6 of 500 plus mile trips. flawless product from a great company.
I have one of these pintle hitches in two inch and it works great. They are easier to hook up than a ball hitch and stronger too. I bought this one in 2.5 because I got a 2.5 inch hitch for my truck and while I could use an adapter I’d rather not. They are a little noisier than a ball hitch but I don’t mind
I received my order from Etrailer today. I was very pleased with the quality of the Curt pintle and lunette hitch. I knew Curt hitch systems are quality products and etrailer is an easy experience in shopping. Thank you
The heft and construction of this hitch is fantastic. We purchased it to tow a former military trailer and it works great. Set up is a breeze. Would recommend to anyone looking for a pintle hitch
etrailer was great. I had a shipment that was very important. UPS messed up the tracking. etrailer was great with explaining their experience with UPS. It worked out just like they thought it would. They offered to refund my purchase if it did not show up in time. All worked out great. Thanks etrailer.
P. S. Not to mention they saved me some money on top of it!!
Great product, fits great in the newer 2.5 inch receivers. The trailer doesn't move around as much as a ball pintle.
This thing is a beast! I’ve been thru and have bought many hitches. I don’t think I will ever need another Pintle. It’s the best built hitch I’ve ever bought and the price is great for what you get.
Dropped this monster on my foot from about six inches. This thing is a brute, solid steel heavy duty and will hurt like hell if you get your foot or finger under it. I’m pulling 18000 lbs and don’t worry for a second about it. Lori B is the little gal to call. She knows what she’s talking about when it comes to these parts. I lost a trailer 30 years ago on a freeway, going uphill and the emergency battery was dead. I’m a little nuts about trailer safety as you must imagine. Anything short of perfect is unacceptable. This is no BS, Lori sent me exactly what I needed. Buy from her (and this company) with all the confidence in the world.
Fast shipping, good quality, good price s!
It goes in the hole, trailer hooks up to it and away we go.....
Works fine, used about 3 times a week pulling trailers from 5K to 15K LBS. No complaints!
Great hitch, very good quality. Fair price. Very please and will order future items from Etrailer
eTrailer's product offering was extensive and high quality, their online purchase process was quick and simple and home deliver was very fast.
Well built hitch. Should last a lifetime. Good height for 4X4 trucks but might be a bit low for 2 wheel drive.
Really nice receiver
Product has performed flawlessly! Pulling a JD650G Dozer with it, and it does just what it should!
Great product. No issues. It's out in the weather all the time and the paint still looks good.
Very strong and durable product, I used it to pull my bulldozer!!!
