Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff from etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Curt two inch chrome hitch ball. With a 10,000 pound weight, gross towing weight capacity. Now this hitch ball provides the connection point for your trailer's coupler. This one you can see is a nice durable corrosion resistant chrome finish.
A few dimensions on this. The diameter and the ball is two inches. The weight capacity, which will be stamped on the top is 10,000 pounds. Now I do want to give you a few critical dimensions. So when you go to purchase a hitch ball, you do want to make sure it'll fit your ball mount.
So the one of them is the length of the shank, which is this portion here. So we're gonna measure from the bottom to the end of the shank. So the length on this one is going to be right at two and five eights inches long.The other critical measurement is the diameter to make sure it'll fit into the ball hole of your ball mount. So on this one is gonna be right at one and a quarter inches. So again, this is designed to fit a ball mount with a one and a quarter inch ball hole and the thickness of the ball mount needs to be either a half inch up to one inch thick and this will fit on there correctly.
Now, if you notice it does include the lock washer and the nut. So when you do go to install this, you'll drop this through the hole in your ball mount. Put your lock washer on, take your nut, go ahead and start it. And then tighten it down to the torque specs that are recommended. Now, the height on this ball mount once it's installed from the bottom here to the very top, it's gonna be right at two and three quarter inches from the bottom of the flange to the top of the ball.
And when you do install this, it will require a socket size of one and seven eighths inches to fit this nut. But that should do it for the review on the Curt two inch chrome hitch ball with the 10,000 pound gross towing weight capacity.

Ratings & Reviews
Have been to etrailer site several times now to order parts to complete different projects, like this hitch ball. I have bought incomplete projects with missing parts and saved a lot of money.I go to a site like etrailer and pick up what i need, there parts and service is the best & fasts .... everything ivd bought from them has been the best quality.
A friend who has towed 9000lbs+ boats, recommended you, and thankfully, I took his advice. The person who answered my call last year was very knowledgeable and gave ne excellent advice for my towing problem(front end sway) and advised me to purchase a proper sway and load hitch, which I did and installed(even made a roll-around" to store the heavy items when not in use).
Thank you for excellent service, bruce

Although I dont tow 10,000 pounds, the extra strength gives me piece of mind for a few more dollars
We run 9 trailers with 7 of them being towed app.32,000 miles each per year.
We replace the tow balls on our trucks after a couple of years running. I have used 2" Hitch Ball - 1-1/4" Diameter x 2-5/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 10,000 lb
We have used Item #A-90 for our replacement ball for over 10 years and have never encountered any problems. Due to its durability, it is our replacement ball of choice. I highly recommend it, along with the 12,000 lb and 17,000 lb ball carrier. This allows us to go to 2-5/16 ball when needed.
Works great
What can I say - it is a towing ball. I have a rather large landscape trailer and this is just the ball needed to pull it with some safety margin above the trailer's GVWR -- this is about the highest rated 2-in ball I have seen before jumping up to the 2 5/16" balls usually reserved for campers and other larger bumper pulls. The only negative I have seen on this is the torque rating, which is what it is.
450-ft-lbs -- you better have a [**] beefy torque wrench, be willing to buy one, or know someone who does. Given the cost of torque wrenches above 300 ft-lbs it would be a really nice option if etrailer would offer service where the ball can be delivered pre-torqued on the drop or raise shank of your choice.

I stand behind my initial review though point of clarification. I ordered the ball in 2019, posted a 1 year review in 2020. And now they are asking me for another 1 year update....well 2 years later it is still solid.
After balking at the cost to have an auto-shop add a trailer to our Toyota Highlander, we found etrailer.com and decided to take a chance. The "how to" videos factored considerably in our decision to buy ... they made it look so easy! And surprise! It really -WAS- that easy. We used standard block-type ramps (the kind you can buy for $40 ) to get the SUV up off the ground high enough to get underneath to do the work. Everything came off as easy as it was showed in the videos. Other than the fact this bar is a heavy so we had our teen daughter help hold it steady while we bolted it into place (i.e., get help for when you go to lift it), it went super smooth. Thanks for saving us $280 over the cost the car dealer quoted us! P.S. - be sure to watch the linked videos so you get the right trailer lighting attachment and ball hitch for your new hitch.

We are very happy with our trailer hitch, and all the accoutrements that we purchased with it. Your videos were enormously helpful, the hitch went on easily with a bit of help from our teenage daughter to lift it up into place, and we recommend your business to friends when they express an interest in getting a camper.
This is a totally solid hitch ball. Very tough...made to last.
Recommended.
Great product and service delivered on time
Not sure how to review this product. It is a hitch ball. It works or it doesn't. It works fine with my C17500 WDH.
Heavy and solid. Looks great and at a reasonable price.
I found the 1 1/4" hole in my hitch a bit uncommon for a 2" ball but you had the exact product I needed. It fit the hole perfectly & I'm happy with it.
Simplicity is the key here. Very easy to order, customer service (Lisa D) asked a few questions about vehicle and what I needed to Tow, and like magic, she found this at a very good price which saved me $$$. It was very easy to install, heavy duty construction!! It shipped faster than other online sites could have done, a day and half later, UPS showed up with it. Back to installation, I watched the video and it worked as advertised. I never used one before, but it just works. Very satisfied.
My shipping was upgraded without asking and all my products were delivered very timely. They fit my truck perfectly and worked without any trouble. I am very impressed with the products and especially the customer service. I will definitely use etrailer.com again when I have needs for my truck.
I needed a 2" hitch ball rated for more than 7,500#'s and this one does it. My previous one was only rated for 6,500#'s and that was cutting it too close for my comfort since my boat is right there at that weight.
I havn't taken it out of the box yet and probably won't until later this summer so....
Excellent hitch for the price. Just what my minivan needed after struggling with other types. Made a big difference in pulling my 3000 lb camper. Very easy to set up. I ordered the correct 1 1/4 inch ball shank for a proper fit.
Great trailer ball for my use on 1985 Casitas trailer, weighing about 1300lbs.
WhIle I got a shank diameter about 1/8" small, I filled space with silicone caulking to deter movement, and applied two lockwashers.
Great price!
I have seven trucks using these 10,000 lb. rated balls. We run approximately 32,000 miles per year towing ball-mounted trailers. For safety, we replace balls every 3 years due to miles of use and stress. I have never encountered any issues with this ball and will continue using.

That’s some serious mileage and towing, James! Glad that this hitch ball has been so reliable for you. Are you using these for a fleet or something else?
Still working great after a year mounted on our Draw-Tite 4285 Ball-Mount/draw bar. Be aware that it may require professional help to mount it to the required 450 lbs of torque. I managed to use a "cheater bar" plus torque wrench to do it myself with 75 lbs of arm strength applied to the wrench, as shown in pics. I had to support our hitch on blocks, since 450 lbs of force exceeds our hitch's 350-lb rating.
I think your shipping method is a disaster l ordered it on 8-4 received on 8-21 I had to buy one from a local shop so I could go on my trip so now I have two I'm done with e-trailer!
Used this with the Titan 8 inch drop for my utility trailer.

Shipping took way to long. Had to order some where else
This product is fantastic.
Customer service is awesome. Order was processed and shipped quickly.
It’s absolutely without a doubt, the best most shiny 2” chrome trailer hitch ball on planet earth. It’s truly museum worthy.
