Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount. And this is going to slide right into your three inch by three inch trailer hitch receiver. It will then provide the two and five sixteenth inch diameter hitch ball that will allow you to hook up your trailer's coupler to your tow vehicle so that you can tow your trailer. This hitch ball comes included and pre-torqued and so it's going to have a nice, solid connection.
You're not gonna have to worry about assembling this and this ball mount then provide a six-inch drop for you. So if your trailer coupler sits about six inches below your hitch, this is going to give you that static drop that you need to make sure that your trailer is gonna be nice and level as you tow. This is a solid, one-piece forged steel construction. So it's gonna give us a 20,000 pound gross towing weight which is the weight of the trailer plus the load included and a 2,000 pound tongue weight, which is the downward pressure on your hitch ball. So it's gonna hold up well, give us a great option for towing those heavier loads.
This does have this carbide black powder coat finish that's gonna help provide corrosion resistance to make sure that this is a nice, long lasting ball mount for us. The hitch ball has a chrome plating, which is also going to provide corrosion resistance, so it will hold up well for us. This does have a limited lifetime warranty for the ball mount itself, not including the ball. So it's gonna hold up well. If you have any issues with it, you're more than welcome to reach out to us but this is a very sturdy, solid steel ball mount that's gonna be great for your towing.
One thing that's not included with this is going to be your pin and clip that's gonna hold this in your hitch to make sure it's not gonna wiggle its way out or slide out. So this is just a standard five eight inch diameter so you probably already have a hitch pin for your hitch. If not, we do have lots of options available here at etrailer.com. You just need the standard five eight inch pin and clip. We do also have locking pins that will provide a little extra security to make sure that no one's able to come along and take off with your ball mount when you're not around.
So if you are needing that six-inch drop for your trailer, this is gonna do a great job for you. It is a static drop so you're not gonna be able to change that. So if you we're to pull another trailer that had a different kind of drop, it's not gonna necessarily be level. We do have other ball mounts that are adjustable so they will accommodate different height trailers. So if you're gonna be pulling multiple trailers that would probably be the way to go to make sure that you're always able to accommodate that trailer's height. But if you're just gonna be pulling that one trailer and you just need that six-inch drop, this is gonna do a great job for you. So that completes our look for today. Again I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Super glad about this!
Heavy duty and ball mounted saves me the hassle. The new F350’s are taller and had to make adjustments for the cargo trailer and 5th wheel. I can count on etrailer to have what I need.
This heavy duty trailer 8” drophitch with locking pin is amazing. A solid steel construction with no welds is very well made. This hitch fits into my 2 1/2” 10,000# rated receiver and won’t have any problem pulling my car trailer loaded with a Jeep and other items.
I tried twice to get this hitch and ball from [online vendor]. Twice the shipment was lost and I had to get a refund. Shipment from etrailer is right the first time and arrived quickly. Plus, since the ball is already torqued on the ball mount, I don't need to by a large socket.
Arrived on time and ball hitch was as advertised. All good!
Product was excellent unfortunately wrong size hitch 2 1/2 inch not 2 inch as on car. Service excellent exchanged no questions.
Very stout hitch!! Nice fit and looks badass on my dually. This hitch is heavy and heavy duty. Would buy again but won’t need to…….it will last forever. You won’t be disappointed.
We’ve already installed it and hitched up the horse trailer. Works great for my needs. Half the weight of the much heavier weight distribution system we had been using (and will continue to use for Interstate travel). Hook up was fast and easy.
This thing is a beast.
As for etrailer, as always, super fast shipping and no complaints.
Just what I need to pull my trailer!
Arrived sooner than expected. A very sturdy hitch with pin. I especially appreciate having the rounded edges where we frequently walk at the back of the SUV. 4" drop is correct to match my truck and trailer hitch height on my Subaru Ascent.
Very solid and heavy duty ball mount. Added benefit of being able to buy the ball already secured to the mount. Could not find the 6” drop mount, especially for 2.5” receivers, at local stores. etrailer has it all and ships fast!
Awesome heavy duty ball mount. Used it about 15 times before it was stolen off the back of my truck. Indestructible and great value for the $$.
Everything ordered and received was exactly as described. Everything was received in excellent condition and really quickly. Thank you etrailer team for the excellent service!
Joshua K, the Customer Service Rep with whom I called in and spoke with gets a bazillion stars. The online description doesn’t include if it is qualified to give rise or not.
Josh checked through the product description and figured I could remove the ball, invert it (and recalibrate) and get 5“ of rise. Josh assured me after checking my zipcode that even when selecting free shipping I would have it by the weekend. I ordered on Tuesday morning and it arrived Thursday - 2 days later!
I unpacked the box and was pleased to read that it is qualified for 5“ rise. Very assuring since I wasn’t sure and trailering can be stressful as is.
I really appreciate Joshua K’s customer service. Thanks for making this an efficient and pleasant experience!
Sold Steel Alternative! Heavy!!!
For years ive had the 2 inch version and it has been the best hitch ive ever used. My new truck came with a 2 1/2 receiver so i upgraded instead of using the adapter and i am pleased so far. Exactly what i had expected, great product.
Seems really well built and should take all the abuse I plan on throwing at it. And as always with etrailer sipping was super fast.
Working as described. Pull 14000 at least with it.
The two pieces don’t fit. I will have to adjust to make it work
Solid design, and works well for what I need!
No issues at all, perfect for my truck.
