Towing starter kit includes 8-1/2" long, forged ball mount; 2-5/16" diameter, chrome-plated, pre-torqued hitch ball; and pin and clip. Slides into 2" square trailer hitches.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.
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!
I am very satisfied with my products.
The forged ball and drop hitch works flawlessly on my motor home. I tow a 24 ft box trailer with show bikes. I trust Curt and ordering from etrailer is always made easy by knowledgeable sales persons....shipped out promptly each and every time.
Thank You

A fantastic product. Constructed as it should be.
Perfect, just what I want for heavy duty. Fast delivery at a very good price.
having the ball installed from etrailer is the way to go. Need to pack the box with some stuffing so the weight doesn't move around in shipping.
Fits a little loose in my reciever so when I don't have a trailer on it it tends to rattle and thunk a bit but nothing too obnoxious. The chrome didn't last long where the trailer tongue rides. The heaviest I've had on it is a 3500lb trailer with about 3800lbs worth of tractor on it loaded fairly tongue heavy because of the big brush hog on the tractor. All in all, i can't complain too much though at this price point.
One of the best internet companies that I have ordered from and I have ordered a lot over the years. Kim was excellent help with my order. I elected for free ship and my order was packed and shipped out on Sat. And
received on Wed.
Pricing was about half of what my local trailer retailer ask.
Bottom line, order from these people and you will not be disappointed.
The Curt controller was very easy to install and adjust and works perfectly. The ball mount is massive, no worries about breaking this monster ! Very pleased with every aspect of this purchase.
I needed a 4" drop hitch to replace my existing straight hitch ball for my new pickup. The new truck sits much higher than my old one did and I couldn't quite get the trailer high enough. This is a brute of a hitch and appears very well made. I think it was a very goo purchase for the price Etrailer sells it for. I don't expect to have any troubles from the ball forward. Watch out trailers; Here we come!
Product arrived earlier than expected and it fit perfectly on my vehicle. I had conducted extensive research for an equivalent product and this was the best value for the price. I don't anticipate having any problems towing my trailer with this hitch. I put a locking pin on the hitch to discourage potential theft.
I would give this 5 stars except the fact that the ball was not tight. When I ordered this I assumed it was ready to use. When I looked at it after I received it I noticed the lock washer was not all the way compressed. I backed the nut off and it was hardly tight at all. When I ordered this I also ordered a ball mount with a 6" drop and the same 2-5/16" ball with 1-1/4" shaft. That ball had a tag which said the ball should be torqued to 450 ft-lbs. This one was no where near 450 ft-lbs, it might have been about 50 ft-lbs at the most.
Someone that did not look at this might have an issue down the road if they didn't tighten the nut. Looks to be a quality control issue.
Needed a 3" rise ball mount/ ball to haul 14,000#. Heavy duty forged ball mount - 17,000#, 2 5/16" heavy duty ball- 15,000#. Curt made the right product as a package including the pin. Etrailer was priced right with excellent customer service, received in 2 days. Highly recommend this Curt package even if your load is less because it is only a few bucks more than the hollow tube 10,000# ball mounts.
The two products arrived on-time and in excellent condition. Both the trailer rim and CURT ball mount are of high quality and exactly what is needed to solve my two different issues. I found the selection of the ball mounts to be excellent relative to the selection of the big chain stores. I will definitely order from etrailer.com again.
The ball mount is heavy duty and its solid steel right out of the box. Great product at the best possible price. Exactly what I was looking for towing my dump trailer. I highly recommend this ball mount.
Very heavy duty, this is built with a solid shaft rather than tubing. Fits my receiver well. Probably the strongest ball mount I have seen.
Highly recommended, if you need maximum strength, but it is heavy, probably 2-3 times as much steel as in other ball mounts.
Excellent heavy duty receiver hitch, one that is strong enough to be used with a 1 ton truck.
very dependable solid shank/ safe for all my trailers. would definite recommend to a friend. and again thanks etrailer
will try hitch next mouth. Disappointed that the 9inc snap pads where back ordered. Will, said he would let me know when they would be back in stock. Thank You.
As always fair pricing in stock products fast shipping who can ask for more
IT was seamless. Placed the order. Received the hardware. The quality was outstanding and the service was flawless.
Thanks for being a great provider.
Got the 15,000 lb ball mount and 2 5/16" ball delivered a day early. The product is built and finished well and exactly what I needed for a super great price. Thanks!
Great Product as always.
This place is "FIRST CLASS" in every aspect of the Business World.
Only place I will shop for Trailer parts and accessories!
Thank You, Chip
The quality of craftsmanship is great. I actually used it first time last week pulling a trailer from Texas to Arizona. A very good product.
Wrong items were shipped and I am still not sure they got it right this time.
Great price and fast processing and shipping. This forged ball/mount is well constructed and heavy (heavier than I thought) -- but is what I needed.
