Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount. This is going to slide into your three-inch by three-inch trailer hitch receiver on your vehicle. It's then going to provide this two and 5/16 inch diameter hitch ball to connect to your trailers coupler. This hitch ball does come pre-installed and tucked to the factory specifications. So, it is gonna be a nice, solid connection for you there.
And then this is going to provide an eight-inch drop to fit your application. So if your coupler sits about eight inches lower than your hitch receiver, this is going to make sure that your trailer sits nice and level as you're towing it. This is a solid one-piece forged steel construction. So it's going to give us a 20,000 pound gross towing weight, which is of course the weight of the trailer plus the load included and a tongue weight or down pressure on our hitch ball of 2000 pounds. Our ball mount here, does have this corrosion resistant carbide black powder coat finish.
So it's gonna resist corrosion very well for us. Our ball does have a corrosion resistant chrome plating. So, again it's also going to be a very long lasting option for us. This does come with a limited lifetime warranty for the ball mount itself, the ball not included. This does not include a pin and clip that will hold this into your hitch.
You probably already have one for your hitch, but if not, it's just a standard five eighths inch diameter hole here. So it'll use your standard five eighths inch pin and clip. We've got lots of options available here at etrailer.com. We also have locking pins that will add a little extra security to make sure that no one's able to take off with your ball mount if you're not around. So if you do have a three inch hitch and you're needing to connect to a trailer that sits about, the coupler sits about eight inches lower than your hitch, this is gonna be a nice solid way for you to get that connected.
We do have other options available here at etrailer.com that will still give you that eight inch drop but they have stacked receiver tubes. And so it'll give you more adjustments. So if you are gonna be hauling multiple trailers and you want to be able to quickly adjust from one height setting to another, I would recommend those options. This is gonna be a pretty static feature for you. But if you're only hauling the one trailer, towing the one trailer, this will do a great job for you, making sure that you have a nice solid connection there. So that concludes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Forged ball mount with 2-5/16" chrome-plated, pre-torqued hitch ball provides an 8" drop. Slides into your 3" trailer hitch. Pin and clip or hitch lock are sold separately.
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.
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!
Just what I need to pull my trailer!
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!
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.
Sold Steel Alternative! Heavy!!!
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.
Awesome company and so easy to work with. Fast and polite and knew exactly what I need to get.
Quick shipping! Product was better than shown!
Well packaged, arrived promptly, and exactly as described. Solid ball mount that I’m confident will last longer than my truck.
