  • Is There a Shorter Shank Option for Curt Fixed Ball Mount with 2 Inch Drop
  • The Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2" Ball - 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs # C45036 does come with the hitch ball installed.

  • Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75673 for the 2016 Subaru Outback is made in Mexico. Curt trailer hitch # C13206, also for your 2016 Subaru Outback, is made in the USA.

  • Fulton ball mounts, like the # F47CR, are made overseas in China. If you were looking for something American made, you would need to go with something like the Convert-A-Ball # AMSC4.

  • The Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2-5/16" Ball part # C45041 is not made in the USA but we do have options that are like the B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount part # BWBMHD30010. This is not a complete kit though so you'd also need to add the 2-5/16" Hitch Bal part # BWHB94050 and Gen-Y Hitch Pin and Clip for 2" Hitches part # 325-GH-096. This setup is over twice the price of the one you picked out and requires you to still torque the hitch ball but it's made up of all USA components.
