Corrosion-resistant ball mount is 13" long and fits 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers.by: John 04/04/2023
Haven't used it yet. I bought it because of CURT's quality. It was beat up in shipping though.
by: Cecil (Scubroo)04/03/2023
Exactly what I needed to extend the reach of the ball beyond my rear tire carrier WITHOUT losing any tongue weight capacity! I used mine for the 2" rise.
by: Kenneth04/20/2019
Not usually a fan of any extra length between the truck and trailer, I opted for this extended ball mount so I could drop the tailgate without hitting the trailer jack. This did the trick. But this not a mount you should leave on your truck after detaching the trailer! Ouch!
by: Jon 12/09/2023
Exactly what I needed to move trailer away from spare tire
by: Tim06/30/2023
Measured the drop to keep the trailer horizontal, and length for tailgate clearance. This hitch works great!
by: Chuck S.02/18/2015
Each item was as described and installation a snap. Light are at least twice as bright as originals. The right-angle wiring pigtail made the project much easier.
Really appreciate the extensive information on each product and the follow up is a nice touch.

It's perfect for my Jeep Wrangler it gets the ball past the spare tire.
by: David 02/10/2024
Great product, they were very quick filling my order. Everyone kept me informed how the order was processing and the delivery date.

The ball mount is not welded square to the tube
This is the second one sent took 4 months to get a refund on the first one.
The first one lasted one long trip before bending
Quality control is lacking on this product line.
by: Trent P.07/06/2019
Product is per specs. Attached is why I needed and how it helped me attach the mud flaps and still be able to plug in my 7 pin. I was really happy that I didn’t have to pay two day shipping, and it still arrived in that amount of time just like it said it would.
by: Gerald 08/02/2023
For a 7,500 lb hitch, I was surprised it didn’t have a wedge support welded on where the flat iron is welded to the square tube.
by: Golf cart mount09/17/2023
Quality mount. I needed a longer mount for my golf cart and this will work great.
by: John Collins07/26/2016
I have traveled across the US towing an overloaded Uhaul 12' trailer.
The trailer was still behind me when I arrived, so the hitch functioned as promised.
I did not, however, require the extra long hitch as suggested for my particular vehicle, but it will serve as an extra. Unnecessary purchase.
My son has since purchased a hitch from etrailer for his new Ford Edge.
We're both happy - very robust and well engineered product(s)

Excellent. Now mostly serves as an intimidation factor for those who would tailgate me...
by: Offwiigo01/30/2023
Product is exactly what was expected. But what is really 5-Star is this company's actions after the order is submitted. The website allows the customer to follow the timeline of the item from the order being placed to being pulled to being shipped to having a tracking number.... and in an extremely quick manner! Will shop here again.
by: Danny 08/02/2021
I needed a hitch with a long shank because of my spare tire being mounted on the back of my Jeep. This one does the trick!

The etrailer Curt Hidden Hitch was almost $200 less expensive than the suburu dealer, without installation. Thank you etrailer your suburu install video was fantastic. Very apprehensive about removing the entire rear bumper panel on my new outback; but had my laptop open in the back of the suv,and installed like clockwork. Hidden hitch has no unsightly drop bars hanging
Below the bumper. Unbelievable price, looks and
Tows great, and saved well over $350 installing
Myself. Suby looks great, and friends are amazed I
would tackle this job myself...This is my 2nd hitch
from etrailer, and I like the efficiency, and detail of your website. HATS OFF to you etrailer. Satisfied customer...
by: JDB03/28/2017
Excellent product and service.
Bought this long heavy duty ball mount so I can open my tail gate with a trailer still hitched up.
All the online measurements and information made it much easier to choose the correct mount.
Works great!
by: Matthew C05/27/2020
Great product! I’ve had mine for about a year and I use it to pull my 3800 lb bass boat all over Michigan. I actually had to buy this extended hitch, because all the gm products have the hitches tucked further under the bumper. Which when I use my mudflaps that hook onto the hitch, they would always hit the bumper. Great product.
by: Dave A.07/20/2015
This was quite obviously the right drawbar (longer than most) for my application because the hitch is nicely tucked under the rear of the car. The extra length is required to get the trailer coupler away from the bumper cover. I positioned the drawbar in the 'lift' orientation. Very pleased with it!
by: Andy B09/01/2019
Excellent service from etrailer! Required an extended hitch so I could open the truck tailgate with the trailer attached and has done the job it was purchased for. The finish looks as new as it did when I bought it a year ago.
by: Justin07/14/2019
My 2010 Tundras tailgate would hit my pop-up campers trailer jack when hooked up; and I could not fully lower the tailgate. My dog was not a fan. Needed an extended hitch, and this one was a solid 5” longer than the typical size I’m accustomed to. Works like a charm. As always, fast shipping and quality products, thanks again etrailer!
by: John K07/02/2022
Great drawbar, I like the extra length between my truck and boat. Quality built very happy with Curt drawbar and the fast shipping from etrailer.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Long Ball Mount Recommendation that Provides 3.5 inches Of Drop for Towing Casita TrailerYour number one priority with picking out a ball mount needs to be going with one that allows the trailer to tow as level as possible. Since your trailer requires a 3.5 inch drop to tow level your best option is a longer ball mount that has a drop figured closer to what you need than the two options you mentioned. The best option for that is the Curt ball mount part # C45270 which provides 4 inches of drop and is 13 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball...
view full answer... - Option for Adding Length Between Tow Vehicle and TrailerYou didn't say how much more length you'd need to let your tailgate open but we have the Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270 which is 13 inches from the center of the pin hole to the center of the ball hole to center of the pin hole. This is most likely longer than what you have. The problem with hitch extenders is that they cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by quite a bit and most wouldn't have the capacity needed for a travel trailer your size.
view full answer... - Longer Ball Mount Recommendation with 2 inch RiseSo we know you'll need a longer ball mount which we do offer, but what I need to know most is how much rise/drop you need so that your trailer will tow level. If you need a 2 inch rise we have the Curt part # C45270 which has a 2 inch rise and a length of 13 inches overall.
view full answer... - Extra Long Ball Mount with Rise and DropI do have a solution for you, but we no longer carry the Hidden Hitch ball mount 80233 and it isn't available from the manufacturer anymore. It was 16 inches long and had a rise of 2-3/4 inches and drop of 4 inches. As well as a 6,000 pound towing capacity. A ball mount we currently have with similar specs is the Curt # C45270. It has 2 inches of rise and 4 inches of drop with a max capacity of 7,500 pounds. It is however 3 inches shorter at 13 inches.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for 2 Inch Receiver with 750lb TW and 7,500lb GTW with 2 Inch RiseThe closest ball mount to your specifications that is offered is just longer than the 9 inch length you were looking for. The Curt Class III # C45270 is 13 inches long and offers a 2 inch rise, a 750 and 7,500lbs rating, will fit 2 inch receivers and has a ball hole diameter of 1 inch. I have linked the product to this page for your viewing and purchasing convenience.

- Longer 2 inch Hitch Ball Mount Recommendation that Has 4 inches of DropThe Curt ball mount part # C45270 fits a 2 inch hitch, has 4 inches of drop and is longer at 13 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole.
view full answer... - How to Determine What Ball Mount is Needed With 2018 Mercdes GLE 63SYou did half the work by measuring 15 inches to the top of the inside of your receiver on your 2018 Mercedes GLE 63S, but you will also need to measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler. If the height of your hitch is greater, you will need a ball mount with that amount of drop. If the height of the coupler is greater, you'll need a ball mount with that amount of rise. For example, since the top of your receiver measures 15 inches, if the bottom of your coupler measured...
view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendation for 2007 Jeep Liberty with Spare TireIn order to determine how much of a rise you will need to tow your boat trailer, you want to subtract the height from the ground to the top of your receiver from the height of your coupler. I have attached a help article about how to choose the correct ball mount for you. Based on your measurements, I recommend the Curt Class III Drawbar, 2 Inch Rise, 13 Inches Long # C45270. The # C45270 ball mount measures 13 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole....
view full answer... - Longer Ball Mount for More Clearance Between 2016 Chevy Traverse and Boat TrailerA longer ball mount will not cause you any problems as far as capacity or clearances or anything like that. So, if the Curt ball mount # C45270 has the proper capacity (7,500 pound gross trailer weight and 750 pounds tongue weight) then it will work with your 2016 Chevy Traverse. The Hidden Hitch ball mount 80228 has a little more rise, 2-3/4 inches, and the capacity is lower (6,000/600) and is shorter. Since the Curt ball mount is more like what you are looking for I would go with it.

view full answer... - Solution for Tight Clearance Between Hitch Ball and Rear Bumper on 2018 Subaru Outback WagonThank you for sharing this information with us. The Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75673 is a bit more hidden on the 2018 Outback Wagon, which pushes the receiver back away from the outer edge of the rear bumper. We really appreciate you letting us know this. I recommend taking a look at the Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270. This might offer a better solution for your vehicle if you are concerned with the small space between the ball and the bumper. This ball mount features...
view full answer... - 2 inch Hitch Ball that Fits Curt Ball Mount # C45270For a 2 inch hitch ball that fits the Curt ball mount # C45270 you'd want the part # 40038 which has a 1 inch shank diameter that his 2-1/4 inches long.
view full answer... - Why are Some Ball Mounts Longer Than Others?The reason some ball mounts have different lengths is simply to allow for more clearance between the tow vehicle and trailer. Some people like a longer ball mount if, for example, they want to be able to open the tailgate of their truck when the trailer is attached. Something like the Curt # C45270, which is 13" long may allow that while Curt # C45010, which is 8-1/4" long, may not. I've added a link to each of our ball mounts for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Hitch Extenders for Lincoln NavigatorThe hitch extension and reducer # C45048, is for 2 ½ inch trailer hitch receivers, If your Lincoln Navigator has a 2 ½ receiver opening it will fit but you should also know that it reduces the weight of your trailer hitch by 50 percent. With that being said, I believe that Navigators all came with a factory trailer hitch receiver with a 2 inch opening. But, if was I was in your situation I would go with the Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270. By using a longer ball mount instead of an extension,...
view full answer... - Shank Length of Curt C45311 Class III Ball MountThe distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the gusset welded onto the Curt # C45311 is 4 inches, as shown in the provided photo. If you're wanting something with a longer shank for additional clearance, I'd recommend the Curt # C45270 which would offer a similar rise/drop but with a shank that's 8 inches long, measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the ball platform. The ball mount is rated for 7500 lbs. I've also provide a photo of this ball...

- Recommendation to Extend Trailer Hitch for Towing Pop Up Camper with 2013 Ford F-150The best option for clearing the open tailgate on your Ford F-150 when towing a trailer is with an extended ball mount like the Curt # C45270. This ball mount measures 13 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball hole and has a gross towing weight capacity of 7,500 pounds. This ball mount also has either a 2 inch rise or 4 inch drop, so you will want to make sure that is appropriate for towing your trailer level. I have included a short video review on this product for...

This ball mount provides 13-inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball hole.
view full answer... - What is the Purpose of an Extended Ball Mount?I would be happy to help you. The length typically depends on the trailers jack and clearance for tail gates on trucks or lift gates on rear hatches. If you are not worried about or having clearance issues I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case. The Curt Class...
view full answer... - How to Gain Turning Clearance between a Truck and Bumper Pull TrailerThe problem that you will run into when using a hitch extender is the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch will be reduced by 50 percent. Based on the weight of your trailer and the fact that you are adding a water tank to the tongue of the trailer, I would guess that your current trailer hitch might not have the weight capacity to handle the trailer tongue weight if the capacity was reduced by 50 percent. The best option for your situation is to use a longer ball mount. I am...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Adding Clearance Between RV and Trailer Using a hitch extender like the Tow Ready # HE18 referenced in your question is a great option for giving you some additional clearance between your RV and trailer. Using this or any other hitch-mounted adapter will reduce the tongue weight of the hitch by 50 percent, but it will not affect the towing capacity/horizontal pull. You should have no issue pulling your 2,000 pound boat with your 7,500 pound hitch, even when using an adapter like this one. Another option to consider that may...
view full answer... - Necessary Ball Mount Length to Use Swagman S64664 Traveler XCS Bike RackAs the sleeve on the bottom of the upright is 3 inches long, you'll want to choose a 'long' ball mount with the proper rise/drop, such as # C45270 so you can pull the tow dolly so the tongue is level. I've linked to our selection of ball mounts with the long shank, as well as to a help article that shows how to measure to determine the rise or drop ball mount you'll need.
view full answer... - How To Use a Trunk Mount Bike Rack While Towing a TrailerIn order to use a trunk mount bike rack like the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack part # Y02633 on your 2013 Acura MDX while also towing a trailer you would indeed need to extend the connection point in order to prevent any turning clearance issues. For this, a ball mount with extended shank will do the job just fine. I recommend the Curt Class III Drawbar part # C45270 but if you can provide me with your exact rise/drop needs I may have a better option for you. There would likely be turning...

It has a 4" drop and a 2" rise with a weight capacity of 7,500 lbs.. The Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set # 900b is also made in the USA.
