Video Transcript for Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate Review C48340
Hello neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Curt adjustable pintle mount for a two and a half inch hitch. Now, this is going to be great when towing your trailers with the lunette ring, and this allows for a lot of adjustability. Now, if you consistently tow a trailer, that's the same height every single time, and you're not really swapping around, there's other options, so that way you don't have to get something as large as this on your vehicle. So having the mounting holes is really nice because when you need to adjust for a different height lunette ring range, from trailer to trailer, you can do that fairly easily by changing out the bolts to whatever configuration you need. So with the 14 hole configuration, you're actually able to get six different height mounting points.
And with your eight hole, you can get three and then your four, that's going to be mounted just there, but it's all going to give you a 20,000 pound gross trailer weight rating. So that's quite a bit of weight. Now before towing, you're going to want to make sure that you have a pintle mount that can actually support that weight as well as the vehicle itself. So check your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure that that weight rating matches what you're actually towing. And that way you're not overdoing it.
For example, our pintle hook here is rated at 10,000 pounds. So this is going to be the maximum that you can tow with this configuration. So all of your components need to match the weight that you're actually pulling, just to keep you safe. And this is going to work with any curt pintle mount, so that way you can know that it's going to work on here. But if you want to take some quick measurements, our hole spread here is going to be three and three eighths.
And then for our height, we're going to have one and three quarters. So if you want to check your pintle hook to see if it's going to fit, you now have the specs to do that. Now this is extremely sturdy steel construction. It also has a nice black oxide powder coat finish on it. So it's going to hold up long-term and look really good.
And even if you keep it on your truck, out in the weather, it's going to stay black and looking nice. Now, another thing here, you're going to see the hitch pin and clip. This is not included with it. So if you're getting this plate, you're going to want to pick one of those up as well. And here we have, just your standard hitch pin and clip. But if you want a locking one, that way, this doesn't walk away from your truck in the hands of someone else, we have locking ones available here at etrailer as well. When picking your pintle hook, you're going to want to check any trailers that's not using a lunette ring. And that way you can match the ball with your trailer coupler. You're also going to want to check your gross trailer weight rating. That way you're not overdoing this with a heavy trailer. So find the right fit for you. Now with our 14 hole and our eight hole, you're able to actually flip this over. And that's also going to give you more height adjustability. Now, obviously with your four hole, that's going to be just flush with your trailer hitch receiver. Now, if you're worried about this not having clearance on your tailgate, I'm here to show you at least on our Silverado here, we have no issues. So we're able to keep this in this position. Now in our drop position, it does hang down quite a bit. But thinking about you lifted truck owners, this is going to be awesome because that's going to allow you to put your pintle hook down and still make it level with your trailer, assuming that you're not too lifted up. To determine where I'm going to mount my pintle hook, I actually measured from the ground to the bottom of the lunette ring on our trailer as its set level. And then I came up with 19 inches. So, measuring it out from the ground to the bottom where it's going to actually sit on the ball here, I found that I'm going to go up one slot. So once you've determined the height that you need, you grab your hardware, and then we're going to just slide these in there. And I'm going to back it real quick and tight with. I have my split washer here. I'm just going to kind of hand tighten these, just to kind of get them started so I can get all four on. So with your three quarter inch wrench and you're a three quarter inch socket, I'm going to go ahead and tighten this up. Now you want it snug, and rule of thumb, tighten it down until you have your split washer nice and flush. And that should be good. Go ahead and do that on all four. Now that we have it tightened up at the height that we need, we're ready to hook up to our trailer and get to towing..

The 4 holes in this pintle plate provides a mounting position for your pintle hitch. The shank slides inside your 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" hitch receiver. Durable carbide black powder coat finish.by: Robert08/26/2020
Bought this piece to manufacture a hitch extension. Had to cut the pintle attachment off and use the shaft in this project. I wanted/needed a solid 2 1/2” shaft because of the decrease in tongue and GVW capacities over direct coupling to the factory hitch. I am running an F250 with the tailgate down and a Razor in the bed in addition to pulling a 24’ camper. No worries ??.
Etrailer had the pieces in stock and delivered fast.
Would really like the manufactures to step up and supply a punched solid 2 1/2” shaft

Use this with a curt 16k combination ball/pintle hitch and am very satisfied so far. No drama purchase via Etrailer, and when the torque spec for the hitch — inexplicably — wasn’t included in the literature a call to their friendly team fixed this issue.
by: Marcos01/26/2019
Solid and heavy built product. Lined up perfectly with the 3” down to 2.5” sleeve I previously ordered for my F250 3” receiver. Awaiting the pintle ball combo I ordered to bolt up to this plate. Thanks for the speedy service.
by: Logan 03/04/2024
good quality, showed up with scratches and dinged up but etrailer did make it right.
by: Allen05/26/2021
Robust! This pintle mount plate is a monster! Fitment to my 2013 Toyota 4Runner 2” hitch is great, and precisely the size I was looking for, given rear hatch access,(The rear hatch swings free and clear) and pintle hook rise requirements. I easily went from 17” to 26” off the pavement! Photos will show the additional reflective tape I applied to necessitate a safe night’s drive. Photos show the really nice locking pin that secures the mount plate. Special kudos to Jessie at etrailer customer service to expertly assist me in the selection discussion- what a joy! Delivery was ahead of schedule and the product met my specifications! Now let’s get on the road and see how she runs!
by: Albert A10/21/2023
Amazing product! Absolutely fast shipping! Great buying experience. Packed tight and they don’t skimp on ensuring your product is shipped safe. 1st time buyer and I’m coming back for more! ETrailer is legit.

mounting plante has worked perfectly. it is the only one that i could find that was rated for the weight when mounted upright or down when using a 2" reciever. shows no signs of fatigue after a year of towing a 3500lb trailer with a 13,000lb escavator several times a week. very satisfied with purchase

by: Dalton W03/03/2023
mounting plate arrived in a few days. well built and very satisfied with the quality. i purchased 2 sets for both of my trucks. has a good coat of corrosion resistance, that means a lot, you don't want your hitch rusting. i live in a salt enviroment and this will hold up. the fit and finish is top notch.
by: Mark07/28/2020
Exactly what I needed to level pulling my military trailer. The pintle hitch bolted to the mounting plate within a few minutes. Now I can get into the back country with my FJ pulling a trailer made possible by the your pintle hitch/mounting plate Combination.
Thanks

This is the second one of these that I have purchased as the first one was from my local auto parts store but they could not get me one for at least 30 days so I ordered from you online and the price with shipping was very comparable to getting locally.
by: Lisa 10/08/2023
She was very helpful
by: Franklin B01/09/2023
I was very pleased with better than expected quality of the mounting plate. I have already placed into use on my 1989 Ford F350 truck!

I recently purchased the Curt 3-position Pintle Mount 48343 and the Demco 6-Hole Adjustable Channel Bracket - Weld On - 12" Tall - 21,000 lbs - DM66134 and found both items to be of exceptional quality. This was the first time I purchased from etrailer.com and I found their website to be the most complete in the product descriptions and the tracking information was spot on. I will use them in the future.
by: Robert 08/09/2023
Fast shipment and great pricing.

The 30,000Lb pintle hitch bolted on this plate with ease...This plate has just the right amount of adjustments to suit different trailer/tow vehicle heights.

LOVE THES MOUNTING PLATES
by: Brent 09/04/2022
Works as described and designed, Pintle hitch bolted right up. Very stout design.
by: James01/08/2019
Excellent product at a great price. Highly recommend both the product and etrailer. The customer service people at etrailer are knowledgeable and understanding and really seem to look out for the customer. AAA+++ Unfortunately for me the mounting plate was too high (my fault) and would damage the tailgate of my truck. I wish Curt would make a plate about 2 inches shorter.

- Pintle Hook for a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch with a Long ShankIf you are just looking for a standard pintle hook without a ball then I think the Curt Pintle Hook part # C48010 will be the best option we have for you. This pintle hook has a 2-1/2" shank and measures 9-1/2" from the center of hitch pin hole to the center of pintle hook. It has a 20,000 lb towing capacity. If you need something with a longer shank then you will need to look into a two piece unit like the Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate part # C48340 with the Curt Pintle Hook part #...
view full answer... - Large Capacity Pintle Mounting Plate For 2.5 Inch Trailer Hitch ReceiverThere is not a 2.5 inch pintle mounting plate with a 30,000 lb capacity that we currently carry. The largest weight capacity for that hitch size is 20,000 lbs. For that, we have the Curt # C48340 and # C48348. Our absolute largest capacity pintle mount is the Reese # RP38186 with a capacity of 25,000 lbs for a 3 inch hitch receiver. We have pintle hooks rated for 30k or 60 K. These are more direct mount applications. I've attached the link to that page for options.
view full answer... - Available 2-Inch Ball Pintle Hooks for 2-Inch HitchWe do not offer any trailer hitch receivers for the 1995 Hummer H1 but we do have 2-inch pintle hooks and hook/ball combinations for 2-inch balls that you can see on the linked page. The hook with the longest available shank is the Curt # C48004. This pintle hook is rated for 20K and is 14-1/2-inches long.
view full answer... - Available Pintle Mounts for 2-1/2-Inch HitchesYes, we have pintle hook mounts for 2-1/2-inch hitches that are similar to the 3-inch Reese Super Titan # RP38186. All of them can be seen on the page I linked for you. Pintles generally do not have a class rating, just a weight rating. The highest weight rating in a 2-1/2-inch is with the 21K Gen-Y Torsion Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2-1/2-Inch Hitches # 325-GH-1301 which has 14 holes for mounting flexibility and a rubber torsion spring cushion to reduce shock. Standard mounts are...
