Video Transcript for Review of CURT Trailer Hitch Ball - Hitch Ball 1-7/8 Inch - C40017
Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a real quick look at this CURT hitch ball. This 1 7/8 inch hitch ball is going to give you a connection point for your trailer's coupler. And this features a durable steel construction with this corrosion resistant chrome finish. And this has a weight capacity of 3,500 pounds. Now, this has fine threads.
It's going to give you an exceptionally tight, strong grip. And the built-in wrench flats, it's going to make it easy to hold this ball in place while you're tightening down the nut. And lemme pull out my ruler here just to give you some overall dimensions. Looking at the length of the shank, we're sitting right at three inches long as you can see there. And the diameter, we are sitting right at an inch.
Now, as you can see here on my table before me, the lock washer and nut are both included with this. And when installing this, you're just going to place this through the ball hole on your ball mount. And then the lock washer is going to go underneath followed by the nut. And this is going to fit ball mount platforms from one-inch to two-inch thick. And then you just wanna make sure that you torque this down, torque the nut down to the specifications listed by the manufacturer and that information will be on the label that comes attached to this hitch ball.
Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

I couldn't find a ball hitch with a long enough shank for my '09 Tacoma bumper. It was even hard to locate online, but etrailer.com had what I was looking for. It works great, no issues since I put it on. I use it to pull a light trailer, usually with a lawnmower.
by: David 07/19/2023
I looked everywhere for a 1 78 x 1 x3. No one had it. I have a special situation that required a 3 shank. Glad I found you.
by: Chris 12/20/2021
Good selection. I found the proper configuration right away and the product works perfectly on my utility trailer “pusher” which is battery powered and allows me to move trailer on and out of storage.
by: Pat03/12/2015
Bought this ball for the long shank because I bought a thicker ball mount. Exactly what I needed. Seems to be rated for a bit more weight than most 1 7/8" balls, too.
by: Josh06/02/2019
A perfect fit for my 2018 GMC Canyon's OEM step bumper hitch. Like other reviews have pointed out, the ball is in fact chrome despite what the official product photo suggests.
by: James S09/08/2019
After one year it's still a good quality ball hitch. I store it in my trunk when not using so the finish is still very good on the chrome. Highly reccomended!
by: CORY03/28/2013
This product did not exist in the 'real world' and we could only find it online at etrailer.com. It was exactly as promised and was delivered very quickly. We couldn't have been happier with the service we received from etrailer.com.

The tow ball I needed was not available at any of the big box stores. Etrailer helped a lot! Every step of the process of getting my part went excellent. From finding the part on-line to Customer Service, ordering, purchasing and timely receipt. Thank you and keep up the great work.

It got me and trailer to destinations with no problems so far.

It's a hitch ball is the size I needed and reasonably priced.
by: Tom J08/24/2011
The wait on shipping was worth it. This is something I could not locate anywhere else either locally here in Florida or on the web. Thanks again etrailer for another quality product.

A perfect fit for the Alumstinger mount. One minor point: the product image looks like a satin finish, but it is actually chrome.
by: marc01/25/2013
Excellent price, fast delivery, no problems. Will order again from this site. Product was exactly as described and arrived exactly when it said it would. Very satisfied.

- Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 1999 Lincoln Town CarWe have everything needed to equip your 1999 Lincoln Town Car so that it can pull your boat trailer. Starting with the trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # 13707. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your Lincoln Town Car and it features a towing capacity of 4,000 pounds. I recommend also verifying the capacity of your vehicle by checking your copy of the owner's manual. You will need to follow whichever capacity is lower, the vehicle's or the hitch's. I...

The connector end will be long enough to hang outside your hatch when you need to connect it to your trailer. I have added a link to the instructions and a video install for you to check out as well of the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11143865. If you also need a trailer...
view full answer... - Availability Of 2-5/16" Hitch Ball with 1-1/4" Diameter Shank That Is At Least 3" LongIt sounds like you are looking for a hitch ball with a long shank. We have the exact 2-5/16" hitch ball you are looking for which is the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball w/ 1" Rise - 1-1/4" Diameter x 3-1/4" Long Shank - Raw - 24K # BWHB94003 which has a 1-/4" diameter shank and a 3-1/4" long shank. While we do have a 1-7/8" hitch ball that has a 1-1/4" shank, the # C48810, it only has a shank that is 2-3/8" long. Your best bet would be to purchase a separate ball mount with a 1" diameter ball mount...

As for a wiring harness, I highly recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56331. This will give you a 4-flat connector, but to add a brake controller you'll also need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7, which will give you a...

- Recommend Corrosion Resistant 1-7/8 Inch Trailer Hitch Ball With 1 Inch Shank and 3 Inch Long ShankWe do have 1-7/8 inch hitch balls available in the dimensions that you need of 1 inch diameter shank, and 3 inch shank length, but not in a stainless steel finish. For a hitch ball with those exact measurements, we have the Curt Hitch Ball, part # C40017, which has a chrome finish. Another option that you may want to consider is the Convert-A-Ball Ball, part # 105LB, which features an interchangeable hitch ball. Part # 105LB, has a Nickel finish which is also corrosion resistant finish....

This can be a bit daunting as it is your brand new vehicle, but fret not for it is not too difficult to accomplish. You can do this a few ways, but slow and steady will make for cleaner and straighter lines. To start, measure twice, mark with painters tape, or something similar, and then verify your...

- Clearance Needed for Tailgate to Open With Stromberg Carlson Electric JackFrom the center of the tube to the furthest part of the motor housing on the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 measures approximately 5-3/4 inches. If you are worried about having enough clearance for your tailgate there is a simple solution, which is a long ball mount. Assuming you have a 2" hitch there are a number of options depending on the rise of drop you need: - Ball Mount 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop, Extra Long # D-26 - Curt Class III Drawbar - 2" Rise - 4" Drop -...

- How to Trim Plastic Fascia for Hitch Ball Installation on Silverado 1500 OEM Step BumperTo install a hitch ball with a 1-inch shank, such as the Curt 3500-lb-rated 1-7/8-inch ball # C40017, you'll want to start by making a 1-inch hole in the plastic fascia using a drill bit. Initially you will want the hole to be only as large as needed to match the diameter of the shank of the hitch ball you're using. Start out with just the 1-inch diameter to accept the ball's shank, then enlarge the hole using a hole saw of the appropriate diameter to match the ball's base diameter.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Ball With A 3 Inch ShaftWhen it comes to a 1-7/8 inch ball or a 2 inch ball with a 3 inch shaft we do not have any stainless steel options. We do have the Chrome in a 2 inch # C40020 and in 1-7/8 inch # C40017. We also have the 2 inch Zinc coated # CB84Z. We do have The 2 inch Hitch Ball - 1-1/4 inch Diameter x 2-5/8 inch Long Shank - Stainless Steel - 10K # C69FR that may also work for you. I attached a review video link below.
view full answer... - Recommended Extended Ball Mount with 3-1/2 Inch Drop I recommend taking a look at the Curt Dual Length Ball Mount # C45230 for your application. This ball mount features a 3-5/8 inch drop but also has two separate pin holes that let you change the length of the shank so you can get a bit more extension. When using the second hitch pin hole, there is a distance of 11-1/8 inches from the center of the pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole. The ball mount has a weight capacity of 7,500 pounds and a ball hole diameter of 1 inch. For...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for a Setup that Needs 1-3/4 inch RiseFor a ball mount that will give you the correct amount of rise for your setup you would want the Curt Ball Mount part # C45270. This has a 2 inch rise which would work well for you when you consider that with the tongue weight of your trailer on the hitch the rear suspension will most like sag slightly which would allow your trailer to sit perfectly level. If you need a pin and clip part # F-4 would be what to use. Or for a locking hitch pin # e98880. For a 2 inch hitch ball you would...

Instead, the Curt Hitch Extender # C45795 can be used for towing. It's 14 inches long. However, when using any hitch extender, you will reduce your hitch's tongue weight by 50 percent. You will need to make sure you are staying under this capacity. For another option that won't impact your tongue weight, the Curt Class III Ball Mount # C45270 is 13 inches long. It provides...

Class III hitches are what we typically recommend if they are available for the specific vehicle as the 2" receiver offers the most options for accessories like a bike rack, cargo carrier, or ball mount, and the increased tongue weight and trailer weight ratings are ideal for knowing the receiver on your vehicle is plenty strong...
view full answer... - How Much Can a 2014 Toyota Tacoma Tow with the BumperThe towing capacity of the bumper on your 2014 Toyota Tacoma assuming you have the cutout will vary from 3,300 - 3,500 lbs depending on options. I advise you to take a look starting at page 228 of your owner's manual to see these options. Therefore, so long as your jon boat does not exceed the above then you will be good to go. If you need a hitch ball, I recommend the Hitch Ball part # C40017 for 1-7/8" or part # C40020 for 2" so long as you have a 1" diameter ball hole. If your jon...

- Recommended Solution for Ball Mount with Multiple Hitch Balls and 7" Drop That Won't DragThe 2" hitch ball on the B&W Tow and Stow # BWTS10049B is on the left hand side and not on the top, so as you've noted it might potentially drag the 2-5/16" ball when towing in that orientation. With that said, typically you'll have at least 12" of coupler height to tow level and the hitch ball will only extend down about 3-1/2", so you would still have at least 8-1/2" of clearance from the ground which in most cases should leave you safe. This would be the best solution we have available...

With that said you could use the longest available adapter, the Curt Extender for 2" Receivers -18" Long # C45796, with an extra long ball mount, the Curt Class III Drawbar - 2" Rise - 4" Drop - 13" Long - 7,500 lbs # C45270. This ball mount measures 13" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole, so...

The only vehicle that would require modification of the exhaust hanger is the 2003 and later Lincoln Town Car. The install procedure on your 2004 Crown Vic Police Interceptor would be identical to what's shown in the video I've linked for you.

The Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270 is a great option that fits in a 2" hitch and you can use either Pin and Clip # C21500 or Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 to secure it to your hitch. For a hitch ball, depending on your trailer's coupler you will need 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40017 or 2" Hitch Ball # 40038. In regards to Mounting Bracket # 18144...
