Features to know about

Keeps Your Trailer Level: 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop

Getting the trailer height right makes all the difference in how it tows. This Curt ball mount gives you a 3/4" rise or a 2" drop so you can match your setup for level towing. The shank measures 8-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole, keeping your connection stable and predictable every time you haul.

Built to Tow with Confidence: 7,500 lbs GTW Rating

When you’re hauling gear, boats, or small campers, strength matters. This mount handles up to 7,500 lbs gross towing weight and 750 lbs tongue weight, giving you solid capacity for everyday towing jobs. The sturdy steel construction takes the load without flex or fuss, giving you peace of mind mile after mile.

Stays Looking Good: High-Gloss Black Powder Coat

Road grime, rain, and salt can wear down your hitch gear fast. This mount’s corrosion-resistant, high-gloss black powder coat keeps rust at bay and maintains a clean look even after long hauls. It’s a finish that holds up through regular use and rough weather alike.

Simple and Secure Connection: Fixed Ball Platform

Sometimes simple is best. The fixed ball platform gives you a dependable mounting point for your hitch ball (sold separately), with a 1" diameter ball hole for a precise fit. The 5/8" pin hole works with standard hitch pins or locks (sold separately), so once it’s in place, it stays secure and ready for the next tow.

Compatible with Friction Sway Control Accessories

If you use sway control gear for steadier towing, this mount fits right in. It’s compatible with friction sway control adapters like #RP26003 to let you install sway arms such as #83660 or #17200 when using stacked receiver setups like #325-GH-224. That means you can keep your trailer tracking straight without needing extra modifications.

by:

The Rock Tamer looks good. However, the Ball Mount class III 3/4 rise 2”drop by 12” long for a 2” receiver was not in the box. The box that had it listed was empty.



by:

Both items are doing great! The only issue is trying to get the 2” ball torqued to 250 ft lbs! I had a 1/2” torque wrench that goes to 250 ft lbs, but could not make it click. I called up Lile’s Trailers and he had a big ol impact gun. He also put his torque wrench on there and it clicked!



by:

Wanted 2-1/2" size to eliminate the 2" adaptor and all the play that was associated with that. Also appreciate the 1-1/4" ball mounting hole. Seems like a sturdier setup and more trustworthy for my racing trailer.



by:

Ordered 7 and a half inch drop. I received 8 inch drop.



by:

The Curt ball mount with the 10" drop is a perfect fit for my motorcycle trailer. The extended length really helps in tight turns. Best of all, it's made in USA. Stay safe on those Ozark streams



here's a couple more photos of the Curry ball mount. It provides just enough clearance to allow me to make sharp turns without making contact with the rear spare tire



by:

Well made and exactly what I needed to haul my 3000lb. travel trailer. Delivered quickly and I appreciated the detailed updates about my order as it was processed and shipped. The extra length of the mount allows my SUV liftgate to clear the trailer jack and open all the way. 4" rise ball mounts are not easy to find and I'm pleased to have found one at a reasonable price.



by:

I needed an extra long shank to accommodate a Curt bike rack that attaches to the hitch mount. This worked perfectly, and it's heavy duty and well made.



by:

I purchased Curt's 6" drop ball mount for my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport which is not lifted but has 32" tall tires. The utility trailer I plan to purchase recommends a 12" tongue/ball height for level towing. The Curt 6" drop ball mount places my tongue/ball height at 13.5" which is acceptable. The bottom of my tow ball mounting nut is now 12" above the road surface. Plenty of clearance for safe towing. I'm very pleased with the quality and functionality of my Curt ball mount. I'm looking forward to purchasing a utility trailer soon. I think it will tow very nicely using my Curt 6" drop ball hitch.



by:

This is the real deal and perfect for towing heavy loads for Super Duty 250 and 350 capicities.
Solid Forged Steel and I feel sorry for ever who runs into the back of the truck.
I added a pair of coupling links for easier connecting of the safety chains.
It looks incredible on the vehicle and it is where it belongs on the Super Duty line up of trucks.
I highly recommend this hitch for any working professional who is the towing business and needs the best of the best equipment.



by:

The length of this hitch is great. I can finally open the tailgate of my truck when the trailer is hooked up even if it only clears the tailgate by about 1/2 inch. I couldn't find another hitch long enough to allow that

Well-made trailer hitch. Have been looking for one for a year for my son-in-law's truck. Would also highly recommend buying any product from etrailer. Prompt service every time.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendations for a 2005 Toyota Highlander
    On the 2005 Toyota Highlander, the available hitches all clear the bumper and stick out past it about 4 inches, The Draw-Tite (75153) and Curt Hitch (13530) in this case are actually very similar, so it will look the same. Both hitches have the same basic specifications. They are all Class III hitches with 2 inch receiver openings. The Curt # 13530 is rated for weight distribution, with a 4000 lb GTW and a 400 lb TW rating, while the Draw-Tite model is not rated for weight distribution. I...

I have included a link to the instructions below. Hitches do not come with a ball mount. So you might also be interested in Ball Mount # C45010, and a ball. For hitch balls you can use, # 19260 (1-7/8 inch diameter), # 63845 (2 inch diameter), or # 63853 (2-5/16 inch diameter) depending on your towing needs. I also recommend a Trailer...

    The item you selected, Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, part # 13342, is the hitch I would recommend for your 2006 Mercedes Benz ML350. This is a Class III Hitch, with a 2 inch receiver that is compatible with most accessories such as cargo carriers or bike racks. This is the highest rated hitch available for your 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML350 for towing. In addition to part # 13342, you may need the following to complete your towing setup: Ball Mount part # C45010, Pin and Clip part #...

  • Sway Control Recommendation for Vehicle with 1-1/4 inch Hitch
    We have friction sway control units that will work great to prevent the type of sway you are describing. For that the Curt part # 17200 would be a really great option. You'd use the bracket part # RP26005 installed on your hitch ball and then you'd be set. Friction sway control was designed to fight the exact type of sway you mentioned that is caused by wind from passing semis or just high winds in general. Proper trailer loading makes the biggest difference in preventing sway as well....

  • Can Trailer Hitch from 2010 Volvo XC60 Be Used on 2012 XC90?
    We do have a hitch fit for the 2012 Volvo XC90, but unfortunately the 2010 Volvo XC60 and and a 2012 XC90 use different hitches. For the 2012 XC90, I'd recommend the Curt Class IIl hitch, part # 13559. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness, part # 118411, a # C45010 ball mount and for a trailer ball, use # 40038 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Kayak Carrier Recommended for Old Town Heron Kayaks on Yakima Y08107 Rack and Roll Trailer
    For a fairly economical way to transport your three kayaks on the # Y08107 Rack and Roll trailer, I'd recommend going with the Malone FoldAway # MAL38FR for two kayaks and the # MAL98FR for the third. I looked up your kayaks, and found that Old Town lists the weight of the solo as being about 40 lbs with a length of 9-1/2 feet and the tandems as being 60 lbs each with a length of 13-1/2 feet. The kayaks sizes and weights would be compatible with both the Rack and Roll trailer and the carriers...

  • Differences Between Curt Class III Trailer Hitches for 2015 Subaru Forester
    The primary difference between the two is that once installed, the # C13144 will be completely visible from the rear of the vehicle. The # CU64FR is designed a bit differently, the hitch crossbar will be concealed behind the bumper with the only visible portion of the hitch being the receiver tube and the safety chain hoops. The # CU64FR is preferred by most because the entire hitch isn't visible. Because we pay more for the hitch and it's more in demand, the # C13144 is priced higher....

If you'll be towing with the hitch you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # C55380 a ball mount like # C45010 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

  • Differences Between etrailer Brand and Curt Trailer Hitches for 2020 Chevy Colorado
    The differences between the Curt # C13203 and the etrailer branded # e98909 are primarily cosmetic. Both hitches would be mainly concealed behind the bumper, with only the receiver tube and the safety chain hooks being visible. The Curt uses a round tube crossbar with a glossy finish, the etrailer brand hitch uses a square crossbar with a matte finish. The cosmetic appearance really won't matter much as most of the hitch is concealed anyway. The Curt hitch has s higher capacity than the...

  • Can a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Ball Be Replaced with a 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball on a 2 Inch Hitch Receiver
    To replace the hitch ball you would simply loosen and remove the hitch ball nut and pull the ball out of the ball mount hole. You may need a large wrench to loosen the nut. The Tow Ready 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball, part # 19260, would be a great fit for your application, as it features a 1 inch diameter shank that should be compatible with your ball mount. Please note, however, that some ball mounts for 2 inch x 2 inch hitches require a hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank. If your current...

    As long as your 2022 Blazer isn't the Premier model, we do indeed offer a hitch and wiring harness that would work for you. I'd recommend the US made Curt # C13418 Class III hitch. For a trailer wiring harness, use the # 118720 for a 4-pole trailer connector. For a ball mount, use # C45010 along with # 40038 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

  • Why Does Ball Mount BH20 Have a Solid Shank While Ball Mount 2923 is Hollow
    When the shank of a ball mount or hitch-mount accessory - say a bike rack for example - is solid rather than hollow this typically means it will be stronger. It also means it will be heavier. The Brophy Ball Mount # BH20 has a solid steel shank which is part of why it has a very substantial 10,000-lb weight rating. The roughly similar Curt ball mount # C45010 offers a 7500-lb weight rating; Even though it is not a solid shank, it does have a very thick platform for our ball to attach. Hollow...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2018 Subaru Outback
    Although I'd love to sell you the EcoHitch # 306-X7601, the Curt Class III part # C13410 will be just as concealed as the EcoHitch at a lower cost. Curt makes a high quality product that's on par with that of EcoHitch. In this instance you'll sacrifice absolutely nothing by going with the less expensive option. The upside of the EcoHitch is that it is made in the USA and has a mission to recycled materials. Since you'll be towing at some point in the future, there's really no reason not...

  • What Does GTW and TW Mean and What is Weight Distribution, 2008 BMW X5
    I can certainly help you out. The TW is the tongue weight. This is the weight of the trailer at the coupler that attaches to the ball mount on the trailer hitch. It should be 10 to 15 percent of the GTW or gross trailer weight. The gross trailer weight is the total weight of the trailer. Weight distribution is a system that installs on the trailer frame and the trailer couples to a special shank on the trailer hitch. The spring bars that come with a weight distribution system take some...

    The first thing to do before you start towing is to always check the owners manual or the car dealer for the GCVWR (Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating) of your vehicle. The GCVWR is the maximum allowable weight capacity for your vehicle, including the vehicle, trailer and contents. You will need to check the hitch on your vehicle to make sure it has the correct weight capacity. Also, if you can add weight distribution to your hitch, to tow your 7,000 lb. trailer.

  • Why are Some Ball Mounts Longer Than Others?
    The reason some ball mounts have different lengths is simply to allow for more clearance between the tow vehicle and trailer. Some people like a longer ball mount if, for example, they want to be able to open the tailgate of their truck when the trailer is attached. Something like the Curt # C45270, which is 13" long may allow that while Curt # C45010, which is 8-1/4" long, may not. I've added a link to each of our ball mounts for you to take a look at.

As confirmed by Curt, these hitches are compatible with the hybrid model, and the only slight issue you might run into is if your Escape is equipped with the exhaust dampener as shown in the provided...
