Video Transcript for Curt Ball Mounts - Adjustable Ball Mount - C45901 Review
Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount, has a 6,000 pound weight capacity. Now this is designed to mount on trailer hitches that have a two inch by two inch receiver tube opening. You notice this is an adjustable channel mount, which will allow for precise trailer leveling. There's six rows of holes here and each one is one inch increment between the rows, so you can move it up wherever you need it.It is equipped with a one inch diameter hole to accept a trailer ball. It has a shank diameter with one inch right here on the mount. Now this shank can also be flipped for maximum rise and a maximum drop.
Right now we have it in the max position, so here's the maximum drop. That would be measured from the top of the shank, to the top of the ball platform. You could put a ruler on that, maximum drop would be six and three quarter inches. If you turned it around, put it in the rise position, and measure top of the shank, top of the ball mount, you'd be measuring maximum rise of five and a quarter inches.Does offer two hitch pinholes, right here on the side. It'll provide either 11 inch or 12 inch shank length, and that measurement is from the center of the ball hold to the center of the hitch pinhole, you can see 11 inches to the first hole, and then 12 inches to the back hole.
Does also offer right down here if you can see, there's a rubber dampener, that you can move from either there or move it up. But that dampener's there to eliminate possible rattle between this channel mount and the ball mount platform when it's all put together.Now it is protected by a nice highly durable carbide powder coat finish. The pins and clips you can see for the channel mount are all included. And it also includes the hitch pin and clip to hold this mount to the hitch. Weight capacity again on this is 6,000 pounds.
Ton weight capacity is 600 pounds.That should do it for the review on the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount with a 6,000 pound weight capacity.

Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 5-1/4" Rise, 6-3/4" Drop - 6,000 lbs - C45901
Average Customer Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars (773 Customer Reviews)

New GMC AT4 required a new ball mount and this one fit all the requirements for the truck and new multi-pro tailgate. With the AT4, I needed more drop and a longer shank (12" hole) for the tailgate to not hit my trailer jack stand; plus, the multiple drop adjustments will make changing trailers a snap. Great product from Curt and great service from etrailer (as usual).
by: Stephen S. 04/15/2019
This is a great ball mount. Fits the Class III hitch on my Explorer perfectly. Works well with my locking anti-rattle pin. However, there is a little noise from the dual pins used for the adjustment. I called etrailer’s customer service to inquire about remedies for this and was told that there is an Allen key adjustment that needs to be tightened to reduce the noise. I have yet to tighten it but other than that, the ball mount has done a great job.

Very nice hitch and great service
by: Hiroshi02/12/2024
Curt makes great products. I've bought their stuff before and never had any problems.
by: George 07/01/2023
Great hitch just what we needed for our Toyota Tacoma we tow two different height trailers and this hitch changes in seconds. Shipping was faster than expected
by: Deagan04/10/2022
Perfect drop hitch. Good brand name, good capacity, all around perfect
by: Matt 01/10/2023
Excellent bang for the buck in comparison to anything else I looked at. Seems well made and is as advertised. Would recommend for someone that doesn’t pull a trailer everyday but needs different hitch heights for different trailers/vehicles when they do.
by: DaveB08/26/2020
I helped a fellow co worker on a good budget hitch for his new truck to tow his rpod. I pushed him to an adjustable hitch for the adjustable feature. I have more hitches than you can imagine lol even with having an my main as a adjustable hitch. If you’re on a budget and really only use one size ball this is a great hitch and does not rattle.
by: Faustino10/02/2022
Easy to use, well built, no noise or clunking during travel, works great for swapping between lifted gmc truck and wife’s yukon.
by: Brent 05/26/2020
This product gives me several options for adjusting the trailer tongue height.
It does the job I need it to do.

Continues to perform well, absolutely no complaints!
by: Kurt04/22/2019
Everything arrived on time and without damage. Installation took minutes thanks to the online video instructions, my wife and I are looking forward to many adventures this summer with our new camper. Many thanks to the folks at etrailer who made the hitch, wiring and brake installation painless on our tow vehicle.
by: Roger 07/30/2022
Ball mount works fine, although there is “clunking” when starting/stopping.
by: Mike06/05/2019
Nice welds, more than heavy enough for my trailer. Quick adjustment and I like that the length from coupler pin to the ball is a little bit longer than what I had so the trailer is not as close to the bumper on tight turns. Good product
by: Anthony03/12/2022
I love the way it can adjust to the trailer I am pulling. It handles the trailer and load great. It's heavy duty.
by: Josh 09/19/2018
seems too be built very well. it was a little sloppy in the receiver. worse than my old one but I think over all it will be a great hitch for what I need.
by: Ken 07/23/2022
I have placed several orders with the folks here at etrailer.com. I've always had great service with very good product choice at competitive prices. I will continue to use them.
by: Jeff06/15/2022

I use it 5 days a week. Good tow hitch
by: Mark 11/08/2022
Just what I was looking for. Works grea t.
by: Dano02/07/2022
Love it, it made it to the Canada border region, Glacier Nat'l Park,and many many miles since!
by: Tracy 08/14/2020
I am very impressed with the quality of this product. I wanted the ability to adjust the height because I pull farm equipment between farms with my pickup I also wanted the heavy 6000 lb rating for safety. I have showed it to several other people and they are all impressed. I look forward to using it.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Replacement Hitch Ball for 3 Inch Channel with 1 Inch Adjustable PinsThe 3 inch channel with 1 inch holes is fairly standard. The Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 2" & 2-5/16" Balls - 14,000 lbs # C45900 fits those descriptions. The Replacement 2" and 2-5/16" Dual-Sided Hitch Ball for Curt 2" Adjustable Ball Mount # C45912 is a fit for you. If you want the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 5-1/4" Rise, 6-3/4" Drop - 6,000 lbs # C45901 that mount is not available separately.
view full answer... - Does Brophy Ball Platform Have Vertical Adjustment Holes 1-1/4 Apart on CenterAccording to the review video we have of the Brophy # RTB1 ball platform those holes used to vertically adjust this piece are 2" apart on center. It kind of sounds like you have a shank for a weight distribution system as the 1-1/4" height measurement tends to be a standard with those. Since the head unit for a weight distribution system tends to be a bit pricey I recommend just replacing the whole thing with a more cost-effective whole unit like the Convert-a-Ball # TK5007 or even the...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for Extended Length Needs on 1997 Nissan PathfinderThere are some ball mounts that have multiple hitch pin hole options for different lengths. For instance the Curt Dual Length Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 1" Rise, 2-3/8" Drop - 7,500 lbs # C45220 has a couple options or the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 5-1/4" Rise, 6-3/4" Drop - 6,000 lbs # C45901 which also has options but not spaced out very far. We also have long ball mounts like # D-26 you referenced. The Brophy Ball Mount - 3" Rise, 4" Drop - 14-5/8" Long - Aluminum...

That said, I can confirmed that it works with the channel portion of the Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount part # C45900. There is unfortunately no 1-7/8" hitch ball options for the Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount so using the ball platform from the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount with a 1-7/8" hitch ball part # TowSmart 1-7/8" Hitch...
view full answer... - Adjustable Ball Mount for 5 inch Rise that Adjusts with 1 inch IncrementThanks for all of the measurements and details! So the correct amount of rise you'd need would be right at 5 inches based on that. The Curt Adjustable Ball Mount part # C45901 can do the 5 inches of rise you need and also has it's adjustable increments in 1 inch like you are wanting as well. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Hitch Ball Solution for Curt Channel Mount Ball MountJust the replacement ball mount platform of the part # C45901 is not available but I have a similar solution that might work for you. The part # C45912 fits the same Curt channel you have now and would give you a dual ball setup with a 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch ball.
view full answer... - Will Weigh Safe 2" Hitch Ball Fit with Curt Channel Style Adjustable BallmountYes! The Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount # C45901 is compatible with the Weigh Safe 2" Hitch Ball w/ Built-In Scale # WSUN-2 like what you said you have. Attached are some review videos for you to check out.
view full answer... - Replacement For Platform For Curt Ball Mount C45901By shank with the 1" diameter hole I believe you are referring to the ball mount platform of the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount # C45901. And while Curt does not offer this separately, we do have an option for you that will work, which is a dual-sided hitch ball that fits the platform; you will also need the pins to mount it: - Replacement 2" and 2-5/16" Dual-Sided Hitch Ball for Curt 2" Adjustable Ball Mount # C45912 - Replacement Pins and Clips # C45925
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount To Replace Curt C45901 With Missing PartsI reached out to my contact at Curt and while I have a complete replacement option for you, the ball mount section of the # C45901 is not available separately. Since there is no other ball mount option of the same style that will fit your shank, you will need to purchase another # C45901. In addition you will need a hitch ball with a 1" shank, the 1-7/8" # C40002, 2" # 40083, or 2-5/16" # C40005. I included a video of the # C45901 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Does Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2 Inch Hitch Ball Fit Channel Style Adjustable Ball MountYes, the RockerBall and channel style ball mount you asked about are absolutely compatible: - Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C40047 - Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount # C45901 The reason is, the ball mount accepts a hitch ball with a shank that has a 1" diameter and is at least 2-1/8" long, which is exactly the shank dimensions of the RockerBall. I have added links to video reviews of both parts for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Inner Width of Channel of Curt Adjustable Ball Mount part # C45901The inner channel width of the Curt Adjustable ball mount part # C45901 and it's replacement shank part # C45917 is 3 inches and the outer width is 3-3/4 inches.

The # C40047 will work perfectly on the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 5-1/4" Rise, 6-3/4" Drop - 6,000 lbs # C45901. While the # C40047 has a 7500lb towing capacity, since the # C45901 has a maximum towing capacity of 6000lbs you will be limited to 6000lbs which is plenty since you are only planning on towing 3500-4000lbs.

view full answer... - Solution for Ball Mount to Move Trailer up Steep DrivewayThe best solution would for a ball mount to help you move your trailer up a steel driveway would be one with a good amount of rise. An adjustable ball mount would be the best for this, something like the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount - 5-1/4" Rise, 6-3/4" Drop # C45901. I'm not sure what rise or drop you use now, but this would give you some additional rise and allow you to use the rise or drop you need for normal towing circumstances.

You can use either of the following 2" or 2-5/16" RockerBalls with this ball mount: - Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C40047 - Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C82KR I have added links below to video reviews for you to...

When used with weight distribution the hitch is rated for 750 pounds tongue weight and 7,500 pounds gross trailer weight but on a rental trailer you most likely won't use weight distribution.

view full answer... - Can the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount Be Flipped?Yes, the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount item # C45901 can adjust for a zero to 1" rise. The shank can be flipped for a max rise of 5-1/4" and drop of 6-3/4" but it doesn't have to be with the adjustability of the channel. The channel can be adjusted by 1" increments. For hitch balls we have the 2" item # 40038 or 2-5/16" item # 19286.

The correct locking pins for the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 5-1/4" Rise, 6-3/4" Drop - 6,000 lbs # C45901 is the Curt Lock Set # C23556. This set includes one lock to lock the ball mount section to the channel, and one lock to lock the coupler to your trailer hitch receiver. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Does Shank Length of Curt Adjustable Ball Mount # C45901 Affect Capacity of Hitch An 11 inch long ball mount is on the longer side but not long enough that it would it diminish the towing capacity of your Toyota Highlander. If were to go much beyond 11 inches I would begin to worry that maybe the leverage would be too much but for your situation I would not think twice about it being totally.

I've attached an article to help you with the rise or drop needed for your application. If you want to use an adjustable ball mount there are more limited options for sway bar compatibility. The MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 10" Drop, 8" Rise - 5,000 lbs # MT70067, the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 5-1/4" Rise, 6-3/4"...

Instead I recommend the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount # C45901 which is going to give you approximately 6" in length from the end of the shank to the center of the rear hitch pin hole as well as the 5" rise you were needing. You can use part # 63845 for a 2" hitch ball or for a 2-5/16" ball you'd...

Wow, this puppy works like a champ after one year of use. I pulled my trailer and Ranger to 26 NSCA tournaments with no issues and smooth, noiseless travel on these long hauls.
