It is a Receiver!

v good quality. easy ordering.
by: Reed12/12/2023
The box it was shipped in had a hole in it, so the mount slipped out of the box when it was delivered. There was some minor paint damage from that, but the mount itself seems fine.
by: John D05/08/2020
Exactly what I needed. Great product. I have purchased several items from etrailer and have always been 100% satisfied!

Great service
by: Kris R09/02/2017
The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is the lack of a ball flange nut indentation on both sides. I used this mount upside down to get my ball out and away from the bumper on my car. I had to use a pipe wrench on the ball flange to hold it while I tightened the nut on the other side. As you can imaging the wrench gouged the ball flange and the ball mount. This would not have happened if the ball mount had an inset for holding the hex flange of the ball. I could have just used a wrench on the nut and not had to hold the ball stationary while doing so. Improve this product please. No one likes gouges on their ball flange or ball mount.

I needed a minimum 7-inch drop for pulling a trailer behind my 2013 Suburban.
This ball mount works great and I couldn't find this size at any of the stores I looked at locally.
by: Alfred07/10/2018
It.s too big for the receiver! It measures 2.030" and won't go in. I'm hoping to be able to grind off enough with my belt sander to make it work. If not it'll end up in the trash.

If your receiver tube is outside of the small end of tolerance, it could cause fit problems. It is acceptable to remove the finish of the ball mount via sanding, but using a grinder on it is not recommended as the heat build-up could have a negative effect on the composition of the steel the ballmount is constructed of.

Much more rugged than expected, superb quality

1 year later still very happy with the with product. I have had no problems with it. Reminds me, I need to buy a break controller from you guys ASAP.
by: DAK11/02/2016
Not much to say, it's a ball mount. Curt makes quality stuff. Etrailer.com makes is easy to choose with a quick tutorial on mounts and sizes. Helped me tremendously because of my Jeep Wrangler Four Door having a 4" lift kit and monster tires. I would purchase from them again and again!

Used on 2014 ford escape Titanium Hitch is Draw tite Item # 75758
This ball mount was perfect for leveling my trailer.
etrailer is A+ service.
by: Don 10/22/2020
looks like a good product and will fill my needs. Packaging and shipping could be improved. This is a steel unit and not enough shock absorbency was allow for. When package arrived hitch had poked through the side of the box. You need heavier boxes or more stabilizing packing when shipping these heavy products.
by: Ryan Lee04/01/2019
Will buy again.
I called the customer service line to ask questions about fitment and confirm I will receive the right products (ball mount, ball, and lock). They were EXCELLENT and if they weren't sure, they did the right research to confirm. Definitely worth buying from them.
by: Dale M11/11/2015
Gave me the right lift to tow a small utility trailer with my wife's Murano. Received the hitch in just a few days with the appropriate 2" ball. Both products look to be of high quality. Couldn't be happier.

by: Ralph 06/19/2020
Was exactly what we needed. I had some initial doubts that it would be too far a drop but the lady I spoke with was spot on. It put our tow dolly in the exact perfect position!!
by: Frederick09/05/2019
I'm a bargain shopper...I scour the net to find the absolute best price on anything I need. I bought a hitch from here that wasn't what I needed, I was bummed (totally my mistake on the order), but the folks at etrailer.com got a return simplified for me, found what I needed with a quick phone call, and you simply won't find a better group of people to do business with!
by: Jamie 09/01/2021
This product is pretty much straight forward. I received it quickly, and the quality is excellent! The welds are clean and continuous. I needed it as a rise to increase the launch ability, of my boat, without going to far out of level. It will serve me well. Curt products have been great for me.
by: Jay H.09/24/2016
Very high quality looking hitch. Very happy with everything I've ordered from etrailer!
by: Robbie F.05/10/2016
This is a great quality product for a very fair price. I recently made my first purchases with etrailer, and am most impressed with their customer service. This is a well run company!
by: Fredrick 05/11/2020
Once again etrailer doesn’t disappoint. The drop is the perfect size and was unavailable anywhere else I looked.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Hitch and Recommended Equipment for Towing Small U-Haul Cargo Trailer With 2019 Volkswagen TiguanFor a 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13381. When we installed this hitch on a 2019 Tiguan, we found that the top inside edge of the receiver tube sat 11-1/2 inches high. U-Haul trailer couplers sit at about 18 inches above the pavement when the trailer is level. To bring the trailer ball within an inch or two of level, I'd recommend going with a ball mount that has a 6 inch rise like the Curt # C45100. You'll also need a # PC3 hitch pin. U-Haul...
view full answer... - Does Tongue Weight Sag Get Factored In When Picking Out Rise/Drop Ball MountThis is a really great question! So ideally you have the trailer sitting as level as possible when you are towing. So that means that if your vehicle suspension is going to sag with the tongue weight of your trailer on the ball mount you'd want to compensate for that with the amount of rise/drop ball mount you select. How this normally works out is that you determine the drop needed (in your case 8 inches) and then go with a ball mount slightly higher like the Curt part # C45100 which...
view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendation for 6 inches of Rise to Tow Trailer LevelUsing a 6 inch rise ball mount does not cause any safety issues. If anything using the correct rise ball mount allows you to prevent the biggest safety issue which is towing an unlevel trailer. The Curt ball mount part # C45100 would work well for you as it has a 6-1/4 inch rise. For a 2 inch ball we have the part # 63845 and then for a 2-5/16 inch ball we have the part # 63847.
view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendation for 7 inches of DropFor a 7 inch drop ball mount the closest and best option will be the part # C45100. This is a 7-1/2 inch drop that would get you close enough to level to have the trailer towed safely. It's better to be a tiny bit to nose-down than nose-up as it's commonly the nose-up situations that cause sway. For a 2 inch ball you would need part # 63845 or for a 2-5/16 inch ball the part # 63847.

The Yakima # Y08107 Rack and Roll trailer would be a great choice for carrying your Canoe and fishing kayak, it would easily handle the approximate 175 lb combined weight of your canoe and...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness To Tow a 1,000lb Travel Trailer With a 2020 Jeep RenegadeI recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13269 for your 2020 Jeep Renegade. The 2" receiver has more ball mounts and accessories available for it making it a better and stronger receiver. The maximum tongue weight capacity is 525lbs and maximum trailer capacity is 3,500lbs. Be sure to not exceed the specifications given from Jeep for your specific Renegade. You will need a Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118651 for the 4-way flat wiring harness that will control the tail...
view full answer... - Can Hitch or Ball Mount Be Drilled for Additional Hitch Pin HoleBall mounts like the Curt # C45100 are available in various lengths. This one happens to be 13-inches long, longer than some. Longer ball mounts are needed, for example, in cases of a truck having a slide in camper in the bed, or when using a towing-style bike rack. You do not want to drill your hitch or your ball mount as this will void the product warranty. A slightly longer ball mount poses no issues for your towing application.
view full answer... - Selecting Ball Mount to Allow Trailer to Remain Level When Hitched to 2012 Honda OdysseyPassenger vans like the Honda Odyssey do sit fairly low to start with, and once you bolt on a hitch receiver and load some passengers and cargo, the bottom of that hitch tube can be pretty close to the ground. When we installed Draw-Tite hitch # 75270 on your vehicle we found that the hitch pin hole was 6-inches forward of the rear edge of the bumper cover. We also noted that the top of the receiver tube opening was 11-1/2-inches above ground level. This means the bottom on the hitch...

- Can Curt Ball Mount C45100 be Safely Used to Tow 3,500 lb Trailer is Rise PositionGreat question, and I think you're on the right track. Even though the Curt Ball Mount # C45100 is rated for 3,500 lbs towing/350 lbs tongue while in the rise position, I like to have some kind of safety margin so that I'm not constantly checking to make sure the ball mount is holding up. For your application I recommend the MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount # MT70068 because the weight ratings are 5,000 lbs towing/500 lbs tongue whether you are using it in the rise or drop position....
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Fit Recommendation for 2020 Chevy EquinoxWe do indeed have trailer hitches available for the 2020 Chevy Equinox. If your Equinox is not a Diesel model, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch part # C77FR. If it IS a Diesel, you'd want to use the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 76217. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118759 if your vehicle is a Premier model, # 118750 if it isn't a Premier, and if it has the factory tow package, you'd use # C94FR which includes the relays needed...
view full answer... - Is it Safe to Use Ball Mount With 6-1/2 Inch Rise on 2003 Honda OdysseyIt is perfectly safe to use a ball mount like the # C45100 you were looking at with your 2003 Honda Odyssey. This ball mount has a gross towing weight of 3,500 lbs in the 6-1/4" rise position so it works for any trailer as long as it does not exceed 3,500 lbs. Like your vehicle, it is fine to tow something below the maximum capacity. It is only unsafe if you exceed that capacity.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories Recommended For Towing Small Utility Trailer with 2017 BMW X3When the EcoHitch # 306-X7275 is installed on a 2017 BMW X3, the inside top of the receiver tube will sit about 11 inches from the ground. To determine which ball mount you need, you'll need to use the jack to raise your trailer tongue until it's level, then measure the distance from the bottom edge of the coupler to the ground. Subtract 11 inches from that height, and you'll get a good approximation of the rise of the ball mount you'll need. The average trailer coupler height is between...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch And Wiring To Tow A Small Trailer With A 2021 Toyota RAV4We can definitely get you the parts needed to tow with your 2021 Toyota RAV4. To start with, the etrailer.com Class III Hitch # e23ZR is rated up to 4,000 pounds towing and 600 pounds of tongue weight, so it will definitely handle the trailer you are looking at. This is also a direct bolt on application and will take no time to get installed. I included an install video of this to help as well. That 18" measurement he gave you is actually very useful as it will help determine which ball...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for Towing Trailer that Needs 6 inch Rise Ball MountBest option will be to use the Bike Rack Bunk part # CC-275 which attaches to the A-frame of the trailer and allows a bike rack to install above it. This will then allow you to use a 6 inch rise ball mount we have the part # C45100 and then for a 2 inch ball # 63845 would be what you want. There really isn't a good way to attach a bike rack to a ball mount shank either if the ball mount has a rise of 6 inches.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for Towing Malone MicroSport XT Trailer with Lifted 2016 Jeep WranglerIn order to determine what ball mount you're going to need you'll need to measure from the top of the inside of the receiver to the ground, and then measure on the trailer from the bottom of the coupler to the ground. You'll then take those two measurements and subtract the vehicle measurement from the trailer measurement to determine how much of a rise/drop you're going to need. I've linked one of our helpful articles on this process for you to check out. At the end of the day you're...
view full answer... - Recommendation On A Ball Mount That Can Fix Unlevel TowingDetermining the proper rise and drop needed for a ball mount can be done with two measurements and a little math. On a level surface, first measure from the top edge of your receiver opening to the ground to get your hitch height. Then, measure from the bottom of the trailer coupler to the ground to get the trailer hitch height. The difference between these two numbers will be the amount of rise and drop you will need for your vehicle and trailer. I have linked help article that explains...

The Curt Ball Mount # C45100 features a 7-1/2 inch drop (or a 6-1/4 inch rise) and has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.

view full answer... - Carrying an 18-1/2 Foot Canoe and Tandem Bike on a 2018 Toyota Highlander with Factory Roof RackThere are canoe carriers that work with the bar spread of 27-1/2 inches on your 2018 Toyota Highlander. The Swagman Exo Aero # S65145 requires a minimum of 24 inches of bar spread. But I understand what you are saying. The canoe is so long you will need extra support. If your Highlander has a 2 inch trailer hitch or if you added one such as # e98844 you could then use a load extender such as the Yakima LongArm # Y01149 or Malone extender # MPG907. These will essentially add a third crossbar...
view full answer... - What Size Ball Coupler Does Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Currently Come WithI checked with Yakima to verify and the Rack and Roll Trailers like the part # Y08106 that you referenced comes with a coupler now that is designed for 2 inch hitch balls. At one point it was 1-7/8 inches be they have since changed that. The info you found was incorrect and I updated that page that you mentioned. When the trailer is setting level the top of the coupler down to the ground will measure 22 inches so you will need to go with a ball mount that will allow you tow the trailer...

- Differences Between Concealed-Style Class III Trailer Hitches Available for 2022 Subaru AscentThe Curt # C25VR, etrailer brand # e55ZR and Draw-Tite # 76253 are all essentially identical. All three have the same 5000 lb towing/750 lb tongue weight capacity, all are almost identical from a visual standpoint and all three would install in the same manner. If you're installing a trailer wiring harness like # 118790, you might prefer the Draw-Tite # 76253, as it includes the stand-off mounted to the hitch crossbar for the # 18144 trailer wiring harness mounting bracket.
