Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at Etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Curt two inch ball for a ball mount. This is gonna be for a one-inch shank and have a weight capacity of 6,000 pounds. Now when choosing a ball to hook up to your trailer and tow, you obviously wanna make sure that you have the same diameter as your coupler and this one's gonna be a two inch ball so it matches up well with our trailer that we're gonna tow today. The trailer's also rated at 5,000 pounds max capacity and this one has a 6,000 pound gross trailer weight rating. So we are totally safe there. And some of your other components that you're gonna wanna make sure match up to the trailer weight is also gonna be your ball mount, the hitch, and also the vehicle.
So check all of those. Make sure that you're not gonna be under the weight that the trailer could be. That way you're gonna stay safe. Now there's plenty of combos that you can come up with as far as your ball mount with a rise and a drop and also the ball because of the different sizes. But just make sure that the shank is gonna be the same.
So this one is a one inch shank. You're gonna wanna check your ball mount to make sure that this tightens down. And also your weight capacities need to play ball with all of the rest of the components. Now keep in mind if you're choosing a separate ball and ball mount combo you are gonna need to torque down the ball. Some of them you can get pre-torqued and that's a nice feature but the ability to get the ball that you want means that you are gonna have to take a torque wrench to this and torque it down pretty heavy.
And a lot of times you can use a bench vice. You see that there's some slats here. You can actually get a large wrench on this or you can put it in a vice. Something that I found that works really well is actually using the hitch of your vehicle and you can put a wrench here and that way your torque wrench is moving in a nice easy way. You're not having to move it this way, it just makes it a little bit easier to get this torqued.
And that's nice too. The reason they don't come pre-torqued onto these is that way you can determine if you need a rise or a drop. So if you do plan on going from the two inch drop that we have here to the three quarter inch rise you are gonna have to take this off and re-torque it down. Now if you need a torque wrench we have those available here at Etrailer. You can generally rent them at an auto parts store. Check the torque setting on the ball. It is relatively high, so make sure you have a torque wrench that can go up that high. Now something else to kind of keep in mind if you're using a ball mount this shank length is definitely perfect for a normal size ball mount. But if you are doing any bumper towing, sometimes you will need that longer shank. So that's something to keep in mind. That way it passes all the way down through your bumper. So this again, for most ball mounts this is gonna work great. So once you've determined the right ball mount and ball combination for your trailer, all that's left to do is get that ball torque down your pin and clip in place and then we can start hooking up our trailer and the remaining components. That was a look at the Curt two inch ball mount with a 6,000 pound capacity and a one inch diameter shank.

Very pleased with the quality finish on this Curt product. eTrailer staff is friendly and helpful. They provide unbelievable fast shipping. Great business to deal with.
Worked like a charm and the team at trailer was very helpful in finding the right solution. Traveled across the country hauling a trailer with my SUV and this fit perfectly.
Not used much but no issues. Easy installation as advertised and shipping was quick
this product is to large for the hitch. needs 3/4in dia shank.
I wasn't sure what exact parts I needed. After calling the help number I quickly had my order completed.
Great customer service!
Bought a number of Items to add a trailer hook up to my 2017 Nissan quest. Jason was very helpful with all the different Items I purchased. i recommend buying from etrailer.
Received exactly what I was looking for, in less time than expected. Fast shipping, packaged nicely. The ball mount fit perfectly.
What can one say? It's a hitch ball. It does what a hitch ball does.
George and the team at etrailer did a fantastic job getting me this hitch ball - in time to take the boat and enjoy the weekend. OUTSTANDING SERVICE!! Nicely done! Thanks. Kurt
Nice trailer hitch ball. Less than big box store price and name brand rather than nameless.
Good product. Appears to be well made. Works like it should.
What else can you say about a hitch ball?!
Drawtite trailer hitch was easy, one person install
Items arrived quickly. For those using the Curt C45070 ball mount on a Toyota Sienna (2013), flipped over for rise, there is about 3/4 clearance between the bumper cover and the reinforcement web on the back of the ball mount.
Purchased trailer hitch, ball, and lock pin. Needed a 9 1/4 " drop. etrailer had the parts in stock at competitive prices. ordered on a Sunday arrived Wed noon. Great response time on any items I have ever ordered. I like these folks!
Everything still works a year later and quality is holding up.
I am BEYOND impressed with etrailer's customer service. Both at the date of purchase and now reaching out a year later. I’ll never buy anything for a trailer anywhere but etrailer.
Towing a 20Ft. Ranger Bass Rig with no issues after 1 year. Strong Hitch and
Ball.
The wrench flats make installation easy.
I am very pleased. The guides arrived very quickly -like two days -and were easy to install.
I have ordered everything for my used trailer including spare tire, trailer hitch receiver and the ball mount. The ball mount gave me an 8in rise which is what I needed for my Toyota Tacoma.
Etrailer follows up and does a great job.
Let the packing/shipping department know they should've used a bigger box and packed it differently? Kinda disappointed as this isn't the first time stuff has been battle-scarred before I get it. Considering my next steps.
Great product works perfectly with my new hitch
This pic makes the ball look like it's not chrome,,,, it is actually very shiny chrome and fit my setup great for my 2008 Honda Element SC
Fit and finish is as expected. It's new and I can't comment on how the chrome finish will hold up . Threads are clean and the nut goes on smoothly. Chrome lock washer compressed nicely with no chrome flaking.
Looks like a good quality tow ball. I'll never be able to tell you though. I cut the shank off to build my own trailer coupler lock for cheaper than a purpose built coupler lock. This ball plus the e98883 coupler pin lock makes my trailers secure in my yard as well as anywhere we go. And by buying enough keyed-alike coupler pin locks, one key fits all trailers unlike previous setups I tried where each coupler lock had its own key.
Everything looked great. BUT, I was disappointed the ball mount didn't come with the pin for locking it into the receiver. Off to Northern Tool to buy the pin.
Perfect for my project. Fast shipping. I highly recommend etrailer!

For the same sized ball with a 3/4 inch diameter shank thats 2-1/8 inches in length, youd want to use # A-82.
