Note: When towing, your whole setup is only as strong as the weakest component. This ball mount is rated for 17,000 lbs GTW but the ball is only rated for 15,000 lbs. So the weight rating is reduced to 15,000 lbs. Be sure to check the weight rating of your vehicle, hitch, and other components to find the limits of your setup.

Towing starter kit includes 8-1/2" long, forged ball mount; and a 2-5/16" diameter, chrome-plated, pre-torqued hitch ball. Slides into 2" square trailer hitches.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.
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.
Everything, when I need something for my truck I always turn to etrailer. They make it so easy to get the product you are looking for. The quality of their product and the Customer service are the BEST! Thank you.
I truly appreciate the quick turn around time of my order, in addition to the professional/nice email that was sent to me...this goes a long ways! Thank you!
This is a gift for my son who has talked about wanting to get a high quality forged hitch to safely trailer cars. I'm going to wrap it and put it under the tree. Am anxious to see him open it!
The folks at etrailer helped me get the right one for him...Thanks guys!
Very impressed with this receiver and hitch ball. Heavy duty, (forged) and the ball was already torqued on for me, which if you read the other reviews the [spec] torque setting is difficult to set. I am anxious to try it out.

Solid construction, I have used it to tow my 6500 lbs. boat.
Excellent construction. very solid. use this to haul a flat bed car hauler trailer and ti works great. Much more solid then the fabricated type "holders" that i have had in the past. You can see why its rated at so much more capacity. While some folks like to try their luck with 5k holders i don't like to so much, this one is rated where I tow. the pin is excellent also and the little rubber coating on the pin and hair pin is welcome.
They really mean heavy duty!!! Nice looking, well built, and heavy. Arrived without pin and clip and etrailer sent a substitute; the one that came with the ball mount was not available. The replacement pin is a PC3; I would be absolutely terrified to use this pin because the clip can easily fall off.
The staff at etrailer made my buying experience nothing short unforgettable...they are prompt on receiving your order and processing it in a timely fashion. In my case I was confused on what it was I exactly needed; they emailed me a number of options that would accommodate my needs with budget and price range in mind. This is the second time I have purchased from etrailer and they made me feel like family; they can count on me being a long term customer from here on out! And last but not least the product speaks for itself. Towing a trailer from state to state can make you a sceptic of your equipments endurance and toughness; I know my hitch and components are one less thing I need to worry about...
Heavy duty and put it to use. Great bal l.
Great buy on a great product!
Both the hitch bar and ball are of excellent quality, I have used Curt for other hitch items because I believe they are quality parts. In the description of the hitch bar it states NO RISE, however on the hitch bar capacities tag it states 1" rise. This may be something you want to change in the description because it could make a difference rather a customer buys or not.
The ball and hitch has work out very well. I use it on my 3/4 ton truck which I pull a dump trailer, I can haul 4 1/2 ton of rock. I have not experience any problems.
This hitch is extra super heavy duty!!! The receiver shaft is literally SOLID steel and weighs so much more than any other ball mount I've owned, because they've all been hollow. I can believe it is rated to tow 17,000lbs with the 2-5/16" ball!!
This is by far the best hitch ball I have ever had. The cheapo ones I got at other places literally bent after only a little while with my mobile grooming trailer. This one hasn’t budged and I have been using them for a year!
The trailer that I purchased has a high hitch, so I needed heavy duty tich to pull the trailer, this hitch is more than adequate to do the the job. Very happy with the purchase.
So far, so good. I have a 2016 F-150 that I use to pull my 2 horse, stock trailer. This hitch is very well made. I feel very safe using this to pull my mules.
I ordered the wrong ball mount the day before Christmas. I waited until the day after Christmas to try to change my order. To my surprise my order was easily straitened out and three days later I got the correct ball mount. I would order more trailer accesseries from etrailer again.
One of the best ball mounts I have ever used and I have a shelf full. Very good quality and fit. Feel very safe using this ball mount.
I was looking for a heavy duty ball mount for use in pulling my bumper pull cattle trailer. The mount kit I found on your website was just what I wanted, in stock and the price was reasonable. It fit my truck and the height was perfect.
This was an excellent buy and super heavy duty hitch. Works fine for towing my 9000 lb boat with my Suburban.
Ordered on Saturday and got it the following Thursday. Extremely high quality hitches as well as the S/S keyed hitch receiver holding pins. Couldn't ask for any better products or service.
Thanks
Not the first thing I've bought from etrailer, so this review is due. Another quality product. Wasn't sure about stinger dimensions (+1 or -2 from where to where) so called: OMG, someone answered; without wasting minutes on hold or listening to info I didn't need! And she knew the answer! Will think of etrailer first for future trailering needs.
