Service from eTrailer was great, they even wrote to ensure I got the order correct when I ordered a different size hitch cover than the drawbar that I ordered. Picture attached of the somewhat unique application for the Euro style setup I’m using – I’m dragging my race tires to racing events with my 750HP Cobra!
by: Ryan09/02/2017
Excellent fitment and gives my trailer a level stance.
by: Ken F.05/08/2018
After speaking with an etrailer phone rep, I did some measuring and opted for this Curt Euro-style drawbar. It looks good on my 2018 Kia Niro, and gets the ball height up 2" and back 3" from where my old ball mount was (much too close to license plate and trailer a bit low in front). For my car, it's the perfect match with the Curt trailer hitch.
by: Jeffrey06/04/2016
I can see why people usually buy the generic hitch risers or droppers that you can screw different size balls onto but this riser/ball looks and works so much better and I bet 90% of people never change out the ball anyway. I purchased the 1-7/8" but later needed a 2" as well, now have two separate risers and wouldn't have it any other way. One year now and no rust or major wear.
by: Sam B. Kokomo IN01/13/2017
I purchased a 2 inch ball model about a year ago and I have used it several times, I recently bought a new trailer and needed a 1? ball so I knew who to go to without hesitation. I like how the euro style drawbar hugs the shape of my vehicle (Dodge Dart) and has a clean look, doesn't look like a typical clunky hitch. Etrailer is fast,friendly and knowledgeable and I will continue to use them!
by: R.N.03/17/2015
Solid bar construction not hollow. Powdercoating or paint (can't tell) doesn't scratch easily. I tend to destruction test most of my hitches for some reason, tossed on the ground, garage, shelf, trunk etc. Does the job and the rise is enough to keep most of my trailers flat which I prefer to the slightly tilted. Drawbar is used on a 2002 VW Jetta.
by: Larry D.01/25/2017
Love it.
I have had hitch balls in the past on my Jeep and always worried about the nut coming loose. I love this euro style design.
by: Daniel09/07/2021
Exactly what I needed for my small cargo trailer behind my Mustang. Just the perfect rise. Catalog information was extremely useful and informative in finding the right drawbar.
by: Robert P.10/01/2013
Looks good on my car. Solid shaft not hollow on 1 7/8 in. Very sturdy construction. About 1.5 inch more rise than expected. Looks better on the car than a normal hitch.
by: Michael 10/30/2019
Perfect fit/height/length. Solid and strong. I always put 2 bands of electrical tape (before and after) the pin hole to take up any slop and noise when going over bumps/giggling.
by: Joshua 06/01/2020
These are super cool. Seen them quite a bit overseas, but for whatever reason they're a bit hard to find here (at least in retail stores). They're perfect for low-sitting cars like mine. Definitely glad I got one.
by: James S10/11/2015
Awesome for use with a curt hitch on a 2013 Taurus.

Yes, Boswell ordered 2 different Curt Trailer Drawbars # C45561 for a 1-7/8 in trailer ball, and the # C45562 for the 2 inch trailer ball.

Works great and easy to store away. Only issue is the chrome plating started flaking off after the first use. But has just about finally come completely off. But still functions fine.

I received my order well before expected! The product although not yet installed is exactly what I expected. For the price and free shipping on top of it all, Top Notch Gentlemen!

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Availability of Euro-Style Ball Mount for Curt Class I Hitch Installed on 2009 Toyota CarollaThe Curt # C45561 Euro-Style ball mount you referenced is exactly what you'll need. The ball mount will work fine with your # C11265 Class I hitch once it's installed. Keep in mind that the ball mount carries a 3500 lb towing/350 lbs tongue weight rating, but that your hitch is only rated for 2000 lbs towing/ 200 lbs tongue weight. Because of that difference in capacity between the hitch and the ball mount, you'll need to abide by the rating of the lower rated component, which would be...
view full answer... - 50mm Ball and Getting Lights to Work on Altera Strada DL3 Bike Rack on 2016 Chrysler Town & CountryWe do have 50mm hitch ball # EH53C-C so all you will need now is a ball mount that fits the 2 inch receiver on your 2016 Chrysler Town & Country. Since the trailer hitches are close to the ground on vans I recommend a ball mount with some rise in it such as Draw-Tite ball mount # 40346. The electrical is a little more complicated but the good news is that you don't have to have lights on a bike rack in the US. But if you want them to function then an adapter will need to be made since...

This hitch does require drilling for installation. I have attached installation instructions for you. If you are planning on doing some light-weight towing, the ball mounts recommend for use with the # C11701 hitch are # C45562, # C45017, and # C45561. For trailer wiring, you will want to see your local Mercedes-Benz dealer.

It was not designed or intended to tow a trailer." While it is your vehicle and ultimately comes down to you if you decide if your going to tow you will want to keep the weight as low as possible. You will want to use a light trailer like...
view full answer... - Could the Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon Tow a Jet Ski TrailerThe Curt hitch part # C11083 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2001 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon and would have the capacity to tow a trailer as long as it weighed less than 2,000 lbs. You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to make sure that it also has the needed capacity to tow your Jet Ski trailer. For a 1-7/8 inch ball mount you would want the part # C45561 or for a 2 inch ball mount # C45562. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # C56175.

view full answer... - Parts Needed For Towing a Trailer With a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta We do have the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118572 which will give you a 4-way flat connector on your 2012 Volkswagen Jetta. This will allow you to tow with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11474 and either a 1-7/8" Ball Mount # C45561 or 2" Ball Mount # C45562. You will need either a Pin & Clip # F-4 or Receiver Lock # e98879 to hold the ball mount in place.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2016 Ford Fusion TitaniumThe Tow Ready Wiring Harness part # C56302 is trailer wiring that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium so I would recommend it for you. If you need a trailer hitch the Curt part # C56351 has been confirmed as a fit. For a 1-7/8 inch ball mount the part # C45561 would work or the # C45562 for a 2 inch ball.

You probably have about 400 lbs of dirt bikes and the trailer probably only weighs a few hundred lbs as well. For a ball mount with a 2 inch ball you would want the part # C45562 or for 1-7/8 inch ball you would want the # C45561. Lastly you would want to check the owners manual...

- Least Visible Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Dodge ChargerThe least visible hitch we have for your 2016 Dodge Charger Scat Pack is going to be the Draw Tite # 36548 that you referenced. This hitch has a 1-1/4 inch opening which would be smaller than the 2 inch hitches and due to it's safety chain loop design would be less visible than the Draw Tite. This hitch fits all models of the 2016 Charger as well. The hitch has more than enough capacity to tow your trailer but you would need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to be sure you don't...

- Could 2001 Honda Accord Tow Small Trailer with MotorcyclesThe total trailer weight and tongue weight you mentioned having of 55 lb tongue weight and 455 lb total trailer weight would fall well within the towing capacity of your Accord so you'd be totally safe with this setup. I know you have a hitch already but for trailer wiring then the kit we'd recommend is the part # 118336 because it installs very easily and has the most reliable converter box of the kits we offer. For ball mounts you'd want the part # C45562 for if the trailer needs a 2...

- Hitch and Trailer Lights Wiring Harness for 2022 Kia SoulFor your 2022 Kia Soul, as long as it's not the 1.6L Turbo model, I highly recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch # DT25GR. This is because it offers a 2" receiver which will open the door up to many more options when it comes to hitch-mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. It's also going to provide a much sturdier attachment point to your trailer. For your lighting needs, I suggest the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C89KR. With this option you can...

- How to Determine Ball Mount Rise Needed for 2013 VW Jetta SportwagenTo determine the rise/drop you need, you'll need to determine the height difference between your receiver and the trailer coupler. I've linked you to an FAQ article that shows how to do this. I've linked you to the Euro Style ball mounts we offer, be sure to choose one with a 1-7/8 inch ball
view full answer... - Does Curt Trailer Hitch Fit 2015 Dodge Charger SRTWe checked with Curt and they state that their Class II hitch part # C12064 is a fit for all models of the 2015 Dodge Charger including your SRT model so we can also guarantee it as a fit. For a ball mount with a 1-7/8 inch ball you would need part # C45561 or a 2 inch ball part # C45562. For trailer wiring you would need the part # C56234.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Towing Jet Ski Trailer with a 2017 Hyundai ElantraI recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11424 for your 2017 Hyundai Elantra as long as it's a Sedan (excluding the Sport edition). I like the Curt hitches because they tend to have a thicker powder coat which helps to protect them longer. If you have a different model of the Elantra please let me know and I can make a different recommendation from the linked selection. To complete a towing setup you also need wiring and a ball mount setup. I recommend picking up the Curt...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Trailer Hitch and Wiring on a 2022 Toyota PriusI recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11473. This is a Class I, 1-1/4" hitch that works well for light-duty towing. It is a bolt-on installation so no welding is required and comes complete with needed hardware for installation. It is rated for 200 lbs. of tongue weight and 2,000 lbs. max gross trailer weight. This will work well for towing your boat or carrying a bike rack. For needed wiring, I suggest the Curt T-Connector, # C69KR. With this, you can easily install a 4-way...

Attempting to do so can void your warranties." Only the 2.0L models are rated for towing up to 1,000lbs. If you decide you still wish to tow or have a hitch mounted accessory to carry the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11525 is the one I recommend. This class I receiver has a 1-1/4" opening for hitch mounted accessories or ball mounts. Curt recommends the 1-7/8"...
view full answer... - Comparing Hitches Available for 2007 Suzuki SX4A Euro-style ballmount could be used in the Curt Class I, part # C11443. The # C45561 offers a 1-7/8 inch ball on a 3-1/8 inch rise. The Euro ball mounts are actually rated for a Class II hitch, but as long as you don't exceed the 200 lb tongue weight capacity of the hitch, you'll be fine. This hitch would sit a few inches below the rear bumper, as shown in the provided photo. Unfortunately, I do not have the exact measurement. If you'll be towing, you'll also need a wiring harness....

- Towing Capacity of Curt Trailer Hitch for 2007 Mercedes E-350The Curt hitch part # C11701 is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Mercedes Benz E-350 and has a towing capacity of 2,500 lbs. You'd have to contact a Mercedes dealer or the owner's manual to determine what the vehicle's towing capacity is and be sure not to exceed the lowest capacity between the hitch and the vehicle. For a ball mount you'd want the part # C45561 and then for wiring you'd want the part # 119250KIT which is a confirmed fit and will work well.

For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12091 which has a Class II rating with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. This hitch is a direct fit for your Fusion and will not require any drilling. It is also very easy to install as you can see in the attached video.

view full answer... - Will the Curt Euro Style Ball Mount Work With a Class I Receiver Well Daniel I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're actually not going to be able to use any of those Euro style ball mounts with your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11372. This is a class I hitch and the drawbar(s) you're looking at are for class II hitches which may have the same receiver openings, but they can not be used together - the ball mount will not fit all the way because there is a built in tab/stopper to prevent you from doing this. It looks like all that's offered...

I went out to the warehouse and pulled one to take some measurements. From the center of the pin hole to the part of the shank where it starts to bend up is 3 inches. This will work because the rear bumper on the Altima tapers upward above the hitch receiver. At 6-1/2 inches out from the center of the hitch pin hole, where the shank starts to bend straight up, it is at a height...
