Features to know about

Keeps Your Trailer Level and Steady: 3-3/4" Rise for Balanced Towing

A level trailer makes all the difference in how smoothly it tracks behind you. This drawbar gives you a 3-3/4" rise, helping bring lighter trailers up to the right height for a steady and even pull. The fixed design keeps things simple—no moving parts or adjustments—just a reliable setup that stays where you put it every time you tow.

Built to Handle Everyday Loads: 2,000 lbs Gross Towing Weight

Whether it’s a small utility trailer or light camper, this mount is made to handle routine hauls. It’s rated for 2,000 lbs gross towing weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, giving you dependable strength for day-to-day towing jobs. The 11-1/2" length from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole gives a secure, balanced connection that feels solid on the road.

Lasts Through Weather and Road Grime: Steel with Gloss Black Powder Coat

Towing gear takes plenty of abuse from weather, dirt, and road salt. This one’s built from sturdy steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant black gloss powder coat that holds up trip after trip. The clean finish also keeps it looking sharp even after long use.

Made Smooth and Precise: CNC Machined Construction

Every cut and weld on this mount is CNC machined for accuracy and consistent strength. The 7-stage washing process produces a smooth surface before finishing, helping ensure tight tolerances and a clean fit in your 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" hitch receiver. It’s precision you can feel when sliding the shank into place.

Simple Setup That’s Ready When You Are

Just add your preferred hitch ball with a 3/4" diameter shank, line it up in the rise position, and secure it with your own pin and clip or lock. Once installed, it’s a straightforward piece of gear that stays stable and ready whenever you need to tow.

I thought it came with a hitch pin, I will find one locally. Slow shipping seems to have gotten lost over week to make it 400 miles to Indianapolis. Not E Trailers fault. All is good now that the drawbar is here.

Here's a couple photos of my recent project. I'm making some improvements on my off-road trailer. The Curt #C45270 is a perfect match for the Bronco. The longer length enables me to open the tailgate without making contact with the propane tank that I installed on Saturday. I can't wait to take it out to a gravel bar and set up a stove or a fire pit. Yesterday, I spent the whole day at Hidden Valley. I'm planning on heading to the river with my dog on Friday. Shorts & T-shirt weather in late December, CRAZY! I'll submit more photos once my project is completed. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

This was great. I have a Sienna with low height. THis was perfect to raise the height to a useable level for my trailer. I am very pleased. And delivery time was perfect!

Bought for '13 wrx for kayak trailer. Solid build. Quality from Curt and etrailer.

Love the longer profile to avoid cramping the bumper.

Very impressive. I needed just this drawbar's length and rise, and it seems to me to be a Class II instead of Class I. My old (too short) drawbar (also from Curt) had a tubular body and I was impressed that this one is of solid barstock. My gross trailer weight is less than 400 lbs, so this drawbar might be considered overkill--if indeed there is such a thing in trailer-world. My receiver is also made by Curt. Overall, I'm very happy with Curt's stuff. For what it's worth, I also slammed on a Hitch-Vise from Hitch Rider to keep the rattle of such a long drawbar down. It was worth the $$. I think eTrailer should add the Hitch-Vise to their line of already neat stuff.

This was such an awesome experience!!! My husband and I stumbled across etrailer.com when we searched onlline on how to install a hitch. We then purchased all the materials needed directly from the website. Neither of us know a whole lot about cars but were able to easily install the hitch and wiring by watching the video and the paper instructions sent with the products. The part of this experience I am MOST impressed by is when I got a call shortly after placing my online order to let me know that what I had originally purchased was not compatible with each other. She then continued to efficiently and successfully modify my order to all the right products needed and I didn’t have to do a thing! If that’s not great customer service then I don’t know what is!!! Without that phone call, I would have received incompatible products and been in a real pickle due to time constraints. THANK YOU SO MUCH ETRAILER! You guys rock! Because of you, I now have so much more confidence in doing self-maintenance on my car.

Everything I've ever ordered from ETrailer been of the highest quality, the highest in customer service and shipping etc. keep up the good work!

  • Recommendation 1-1/4 Inch Drawbar with 3-1/2 Inch Rise on 2015 Nissan Altima
    We have a 3-3/4 inch rise that works great with your trailer, item # C45023 . It's the Curt Class I Drawbar - 3-3/4" Rise - 11-1/2" Long - 2,000 lbs drawbar. It is slightly taller than your desired rise. But once the trailer is hooked up, the weight will bring it down closer to that 3.5 inch you were looking for. Also, this drawbar is a Class I which suits your hitch. We have a review video for this product that I've included. You could use a Class II drawbar with your Class I hitch since...

  • Is There A Way To Transport A Shoprider 6Runner 10 Powerchair With A 2019 Toyota C-HR XLE?
    Hi Chrystal! You are indeed going to want a hitch for towing a small trailer. The hitches we have available for your 2019 Toyota C-HR XLE are going to Class 1 options with the 1-1/4" receiver, so there aren't any cargo carriers that a big enough to accommodate the chair, unfortunately. I found the specs for the Shoprider 6Runner 10 Powerchair, thanks for giving me the model, and it looks like it weighs 176 pounds and is 24" wide by 40" long. The closest option we have to that is the Curt...

  • How to Determine the Rise/Drop of Class I Ball Mounts
    There's some specific measurements to take to determine the rise/drop of ball mount you need. Measure from the inside top of the receiver tube to the ground. Then, with the trailer jacked so that it's level, measure the distance from the underside of the coupler to the ground. The difference between the two measurements is the rise/drop needed. If the coupler height is taller than that of the receiver, you'll need a ball mount with a rise. If the coupler height is smaller than that of the...

First, if the trailer does NOT have brakes models with the 2.4 or 2.7 liter motor can tow 1,000 pounds. If the trailer does have brakes then the 2.4 can tow 1,500 pounds and the 2.7 can tow 2,000 pounds. The tongue weight capacity for the 2.4 liter is 150 pounds regardless of whether or not the trailer has brakes. And for the 2.7 liter it is 200 pounds. I...

  • Interchangeable Ball Set for a Curt Class I Trailer Hitch and Ball Mount for a 2008 Mini Cooper S
    The Curt trailer hitch for a 2009 Mini Cooper S is # C11130, which is a Class-1 hitch with a 1-1/4" square receiver opening. This is for hardtop or convertible, but not for models with a single center exhaust. You will need a ball mount and tow bar to tow a small trailer. I recommend the Curt # C45023 mount and a Curt # C40018 hitch ball with a 3/4" diameter shank. For wiring use kit # 119250KIT. I have linked the wiring instructions as well.
