Today we'll be reviewing part number C45582, this is a Curt Class 2 Euro Style Draw Bar with a 2 inch ball. Provides a 3-1/4 inch drop and it's rated at 3,500 pounds. The European style ball mount features a permanently attached hitched ball. It's made from a sturdy steel construction, providing a nice solid shank here on the back side. This does have a corrosion resistant design because of the chrome plated ball and the durable carbide black powder coat finish on the ball mount. It goes through a high quality, manufacturing process.
It's CNC machined for strong, consistent cuts and welds, and it goes through a seven stage washing method that's going to ensure smooth, clean surfacing. The draw bar can only be used in the drop position so keep that in mind. The hitch pin and clip, or hitch pin and lock, are required and they're sold separately. You can refer to our web site and type in part number PC2 to get this item. This is a half inch pin and it's going to come with a clip.
Or you can refer to the ball mounts product page under related items to view additional hitch pins or hitch pins and locks. This is designed to work with an 1-1/4 by 1-1/4 trailer hitch receiver. The way this works is you would take your ball mount and slide it into the receiver tube of your hitch. You would then need to line up your pin holes, take your pin and clip and insert it through the appropriate holes, then it's secure. This ball mount is going to provide a gross towing weight of 3,500 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 350 pounds.
Once again, it does have the 2 inch size hitch ball. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of our ball is going to measure 8-3/4 inches and this is going to provide a drop of 3-1/4 inches. That measurement is taken from the top edge of our receiver tube to the start of the vertical curve. When we do that measurement, we're going to get a drop of 3-1/4 inches. That's going to complete today's review of part number C45582, this is a Curt Class 2 Euro Style Draw Bar with a 2 inch ball rated at 3,500 pounds.

Unique, 8-3/4" long ball mount features a permanently mounted, chrome-plated, 2" diameter hitch ball on a strong, corrosion-resistant, curved shank. Ball mount can be used in the drop position only. Fits 1-1/4" hitches.I was looking for the euro-style drawbar for our 2017 VW Tiguan, because we are going to have it shipped back to Europe. And I found one here in the USA at etrailer.com. So we do not have to convert our hitch in Europe. Good and solid product.
Nicely made and elegant looking. But will not fit a receiver where the center of the hitch pin hole is more than 2-5/16" from the end of the receiver. The straight portion of the ball mount starts to fatten out to more than 1-1/4" wide at that point which means it won't work for some longer receivers like my OEM VW one. Not a product fault, but something to measure before ordering one.
This is the ideal seller; I received the items before the due date, and each trailer hitch is exactly what I expected. Both are VERY strong and my worries that the hitches would not tow 3500 pounds in 1-1/4 receiver are long gone.
I like the look of the forged part. seems to match the style of my european tow vehicle. I had to make an adapter to use on my Cayenne.
Unique design allowed us to do things we could not do before with our material movement group.
Everything was fine and installed with ease.
well made!!!!
This is a stylish and attractive ball set up that looks less 'trucky' than most. No, I never noticed it before I bought one, either.
Look and quality of the mount is awesome. Beefy in size as well. If using on my particular application, removal of rear diffuser is necessary. If they had extended it another inch it woulda been perfect. 2015 Audi a3 tdi. Wouldn’t let me add a third pic but it’s a finger tip space between the ball and bumper with diffuser removed.
It isbthe right size and helps with the height difference to make the trailer more even with the back end of my Accord.
I ordered a euro style, stinger. It arrived quickly. I would use Etrailer.com again, and recommend it to others. Also, I had to ask customer service some questions, which I don't remember. I do however, remember them answering those questions, in a friendly manner. So good customer service as well, which is hard to find, any more. Do businesses with this company. They are earning it.
Lights function as they should. The only reason for losing a star is the magnets are a bit weak for the thinner body panels on modern cars. Very strong attachment on a steel dolly, but that’s not what I bought them for. Hopefully they hold up to bumpy roads so they don’t go through one of my windows, or worse someone else’s.
Great Product! After installing a Curt (C11184) Hitch on my '08 BMW 135i convertible, I needed a drawbar and ball. I really liked the elegant design and one piece simplicity that this one has. It is very sturdy and the dimension measurements were accurate. The whole reason I got it was to trailer my new (old) wood boat home from the barn I found it in. Once the hitch was on and the (56146KIT) Wiring kit was installed. This drawbar slid right in. Thanks to the accurate measurements the trailer sat at the perfect height the first time.
Perfect for my Honda Fit as it has a low carriage, the Euro shape gave me a few extra inches to tow a small trailer across the country from Oregon to North Carolina with no issues.
Great product. Fit and finish is excellent.
I've mounted the Curt 1 1/4" hitch to my 2007 Mazdaspeed3.
Taking the rear bumper off, which only took 30 minutes (maybe a few minutes more than that) made it very easy to attach the Curt hitch to the car.
I wanted to compliment the Mazdaspeed3's overall appearance, so, I decided to go with the Curt euro ball mount 11 3/4" .
Very pleased with the outcome.
This worked out to be the perfect ball and mount for my purpose- occasionally having to use my car to tow my utility trailer. I got this and the DrawTite receiver hitch for my '99 Monte Carlo and everything went together in less time than the estimated time that had been shown. Very happy with both purchases!
My order got messed up several times. From USPS lost in shipping, wrong part ordered, wrong amount ordered (my fault), wrong part number (printed on label from manufacturer) etc... In the end etrailer managed to make it right!
The whole process was easy peasy !
The order was received, and it's perfect. I especially like the euro style hitch, fits right in with my VW and our custom trailer, that we tow about to car shows!
Incorrectly listed on etrailers as a 3-1/8” rise, when really this is a 5-1/8” rise (marked correctly on the item itself, but listed incorrectly on this website).
Love this item. Installed on a 2016 Hyundai Sonata, vehicle sits low so the rise on this was perfect. Installed with the Curt wiring harness #C56247 and the Drawtite Sportframe receiver #24940. Works excellent together.
I am completely satisfied with the product. Great quality and excellent finish. Prompt shipping and excellent customer service. It is stylish and functional and will meet my needs for towing up to 3,500 pounds. I would definitely do business with this company again!!!
Heavy duty! I was a little bummed when I found out how much more difficult it was to find a half inch pin for this, but no matter. It is a tad loose inside the hitch, so there's a little rattle, but I doubt it's as noticable as I make it seem. Super classy and a welcome change from the typical draw bar style. Goes great with my Volvo V70 T5. Thanks etrailer.com!

William, thank you for your review. I would recommend part # 36051 for the OEM 1 1/4 hitch on the 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan. This draw-tite ball mount measures 2 3/4 inches from the weld to the center of the hitch pin hole. If you need a 2 ball for your coupler the ball that will fit this ball mount is part 19258. I have attached a link to these parts.
