Today we're going to be taking a look at Part Number A-6, this is the CURT two and five-sixteenth inch trailer hitch ball. A few measurements to go over with you real quick. This hitch ball is going to give us a shank diameter of an inch and a quarter, it's going to give us a shank length measuring from the bottom of the platform to the end of the threads of two and five-eighths of an inch. This is designed to fit draw bar thicknesses of a half inch to one inch thick. The hitch ball is going to offer a capacity of ten thousand pounds. It's made from a solid steel construction with a nice chrome finish on it, so it is going to stand up really well against rusting and corrosion. Here on the sides of the platform, it's going to have the flats, these are just your wench flats, makes for an easier installation, you can get your wrench around there for a nice, adequate grip.
Really going to come in handy when you need to torque this down. The hitch ball will need to be torqued to specifications listed by the manufacturer. You can find all that information on the tag that's going to come attached to the trailer hitch ball. You just want to make sure that you remove this tag before your installation. Really simple installation though. The hitch ball is going to go straight through that opening on your ball mount.
You're going to place on the lock washer as well as the nut, and then you're going to get everything tightened down, and again once you get it hand tight, or once you get it tight with a wrench, you will need to go ahead and torque it down to the specifications listed by the manufacturer. It looks like for this particular mount, it says to tighten the trailer ball to four hundred and fifty foot pounds of torque. That's going to do it for our review of Part Number A-6, this is the CURT two and five-sixteenth inch trailer hitch ball. .

Right products right on time and the best price
It’s a ball hitch and it works great!
The hitch and ball are perfect, as I needed a longer hitch to get past the bumper. Excellent product! When the package was delivered, there was a hole in the box and the actual hitch was missing. I sent an email to them and the shipped a new one the very next day! No questions! This type of customer service is rare these days and they have won my loyalty. Great folks over there!
After one year the hitch ball looks as new. Installation and the proper torque specs are the keys to longevity with no issues. I'm very happy!
The Hitch work as it was advertised, Loved it. Would not pull my cargo trailer without it. Have bought several item from etrailer in the past, always good products and good service. Always the first place I check before buying anything I need for my trailers.
The hitch and ball are replacements for 35 year old unit. Things have changed! Well built with lots of adjustment. Will be using soon to tow a 25 foot travel trailer.
The products were perfect for my use. I can now drop my tailgate while the trailer is hooked up. However, more importantly the service was excellent. I recieved the order earlier than expected thanks to a free shipping upgrade. I will not buy my towing and trailer needs anywhere else.
Arrived quickly and was as described.
Ball mount and trailer hitch ball were precisely as advertised. It is nice that I was able to find exactly what I needed to pull the 7,500 lb. (Gross Trailer Weight) utility trailer safely. The Big-Box stores just did not have the selection!
Purchased a hitch and ball from eTrailer. The information and videos on the website were very useful. The products were shipped out the same day and everything was received promptly as advertised. Very satisfied.

The product was exactly as described, shipped quickly, and was a good deal.
my another etrailer hitch purchase and another 5 star for their service/product and fast shipping
Installed and works great. The nut was larger than my long hitch wrench could handle, but I came up with an alternative method to tighten the nut.
Shank is perfect length for a weight distribution hitch
This was my 1st purchase from e-trailer & I was very happy with the product & service. Very well made. High quality. Just as described. Fast shipping.
