Review of Curt Hitch Ball - Trailer Hitch Ball - C40030 Video

If you choose a hitch that is too light for your application it will not be effective. If you choose a hitch that is too heavy, you'll suffer a rigid ride and a bouncy trailer. Ideally you want a system that has a tongue weight capacity where…

Yes it can! If you check out the attached picture from the installation instructions for the Reese Steadi-Flex #RP66560 you referenced you can see that it is compatible with underslung couplers. You simply need to install the adjustable frame bracket…

Correct! TW stands for tongue weight and WD stands for Weight Distribution. I have a class V hitch for your 1990 F150,F250 or F350. The Curt Class V #C15300 will fit your 1990 Ford. This hitch has a max gross trailer weight of 16,000 lbs and a max…

The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached…

A hitch ball like the part #A-90 would work great with the Curt weight distribution system part #C17499. This has a shank diameter of 1-1/4 inch and a length of 2-5/8 inch. There isn't an exact length requirement but this length for sure works…

The Master Lock Hitch Receiver and Coupler Latch Lock Set - Padlock - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches #2848DAT has replacement keys if you know the key number using #MLK1. If you do not know your key number, unfortunately there is no way to determine…

Between round bar systems like #FA94-00-0600 and trunnion systems like #FA92-00-0600, I recommend going with a trunnion system because it will provide you better ground clearance than the round bar system. The trunnion bars come straight out from the…

The recommended ball for the Fastway E2 Weight Distribution Hitch #FA92-00-0800 that you have is 1-1/4 inch in diameter and with a length of 2-5/8 inches. For a 2-5/16 inch ball with those dimensions I would recommend the #C40030.

I looked up your Grand Design 17MKE and based on it's GVWR the Curt TruTrack part #C17499 would work well as it has a tongue weight rating of 500-800 lbs.

Curt recommends the use of 250 ft/lbs of torque when tightening the nuts of their hitch balls with a 1 inch diameter shank like the part #C40034 that you referenced. The general rule is for a 3/4" shank tighten to 150 ft/lbs For a 1" shank…

Since your tongue weight is right at 500 lbs the best Blue Ox SwayPro is the part #BLU36FR which has a tongue weight range of 200 to 600 lbs. The part #BLU67FR would be rated too high as it has a range of 600-800 lbs. If your loaded tongue weight was…
