Proper height makes the difference between a smooth pull and an uneven tow. This drawbar gives you both a 2-5/8" rise and a 3-1/4" drop so you can dial in the right height for your trailer. That means less stress on your hitch and steadier tracking on the road.
When you’re towing small campers, utility trailers, or lightweight hauls, dependable strength is what matters. This Class I ball mount is rated for 2,000 lbs gross towing weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. The sturdy steel shank holds firm under load, giving you confidence every time you hook up.
Rust and road grime can wear down cheaper mounts fast. The black gloss powder coat on this steel mount resists corrosion and keeps the surface looking clean even after repeated use in the elements. It’s built to stay reliable season after season without extra upkeep.
No knobs, no moving parts, no fuss—just a fixed mount that stays put. The solid design means fewer things to loosen or rattle over time, keeping your setup quiet and consistent. Once it’s pinned into your 1-1/4" receiver, it’s ready to tow whenever you are.
Every cut and weld on this mount is CNC machined for strong and consistent results. The manufacturing process includes a 7-stage washing method that ensures a smooth, clean surface before finishing. That attention to detail shows up in how snugly and securely it fits your hitch.

Today we'll be reviewing part number C45026. This is the Curt Class-I Draw Bar made from a sturdy steel construction. It has a black gloss powder coat finish so it is going to stand up well against rust and corrosion. This mount goes through a high-quality manufacturing process, a CNC machine for consistent cuts and welds and it goes through a 7-stage washing method to help deliver a nice clean, smooth surface. Both the drop and rise positions are available to help ensure a more level tow. You see here that it does have a hollow shank here on the back side. When choosing a hitch ball, you want to make sure that shank of the hitch ball does not exceed the ball hole diameter which, for this mount, is going to measure right at 3/4". This is the portion here that's going to slide into the receiver tube of the hitch.
This is the shank of the mount. What you'd do is you'd slide this portion in, line up your pin holes and then, you're going to need a hitch pin and clip or a hitch pin and lock. These items are sold separately. You can refer to the Mounts product page in the Related Items to view those products or you can go to our website and type in part number PC2 and it will refer you to this 1/2" pin that comes with a clip. When it's installed in this position, this would be the drop position. We from the inside top edge of the receiver tube to the ball platform.
It's going to give us a drop of 3 1/4". When installed in the rise position doing that same measurement, it's going to us a maximum rise of 2 5/8". The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of this portion here is going to measure about 6". The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the shank is going to measure 1 1/2". The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of our ball hole is going to measure 9 3/8". This mount is going to provide us with a tongue-weight capacity of 200 pounds and a gross trailer weight capacity of 2,000 pounds.
Because of the weight rating, it is classified as a Class-I draw bar. Here at the front, our draw bar thickness is going to be 3/4". Actually, it's just going to measure right over 1/2" at about 5/8" and about 2" in width. That's going to complete today's review of part number C45026. This is the Curt Class-I Draw Bar rated at 2,000 pounds. .

Just what I needed, most receivers would not allow me to open the tail gate on my 2022 dodge ram without hitting the trailers crank used to mount and dismount the car hauler trailer, this receiver give me the extra few inches I needed and it works perfectly, I tried many local sources but they all came up too short, etrailer is the place to go for all trailer parts, they seem to know and sell exactly what you may need
Used on my 1999 Dodge Intrepid's CURT 12006 Class II 1.25 in. Receiver Hitch: 350lbsTW/3500 lbs GTW. I use this Curt Class II Drawbar - 3-7/8" Rise - 11-1/4" Long - 3,500 lbs to tow a 3,500+ GTW dual axle trailer. I have used it with the trailer FULLY loaded and it performs EXCELLENT. You have to make sure the trailer is loaded correctly so as not to put too much down force on the tongue/drawbar. I was skeptical that the SOLID 1.25" bar would not take the load, but it is super strong. I chuck it in the trunk when not in use to protect passerby's shins, but it sticks out far enough clear the Intrepid's bumper, and is solid with a 2" ball (required a bushing). etrailer got it out fast at a good price! I would totally purchase this again from them.
It's good that Curt makes this extra long ball mount, because I don't want to use an extension, and my receiver hitch is totally ahead of the rear bumper.
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!
Job well done. Thank you
Fit and finish are good.
Arrived on time. Just what I ordered
That was what i was looking for and it arived on time Thanks
Works great.
Worked Great!
Excellent- I bought it to get More length from the vehicle without using a extender(which lowers by 50% your weight limits). It fits the bill perfectly and will tow a 400 Pound Sea Doo Spark with my Chevy Spark which has the E trailer hitch . Great service and speedy delivery!!
You guys did everything you should have. The mount works great. It was the strangest UPS delivery ever-- thank God for thePost Office. I will happily buy from you again
Simple, solid, effective. I needed a longer bar for our hitch in order to clear the back bumper of our 2000 Subaru Outback. This is perfect.
parts good , shipping box was all but destroyed. Fits my chev. cavalier just great
Solid product, meets all specs. Hollow shank made it easy to install anti-rattle device.
Drawbar was delivered quickly, however, I did not know it required a smaller pin, so, fortunately, I had time to get that ordered before my trip.
While visiting family in Brooklyn, N.Y. my trailer hitch was stolen. What can you expect it was Crookland, oops I mean Brooklyn. This was an exact replacement. Fast service, nothing bad to say all is good except my feelings for Brooklyn.
My go-to trailer hitch stuff place! Always good prices and easy ordering. "Chelsey" was a great help in selecting the best ball receiver.
I would have rated this product as very good, but it would not fit into my 1.25 inch receiver. It was necessary to grind it down a bit and then repaint it. My other ball mount fit in the same receiver with no modification.
Very beefy, good quality ball mount. It worked perfectly with my curt hitch for my acura Tl. I tow a harborfreight folding trailer and never have an issue.
I'm very glad to have gotten this hitch, in the year I've had it it's allowed me to trailer motorcycles twice and move myself, saving terrific money over renting a truck. I only wish I had ordered it sooner.
Installation wasn't terribly difficult, though breaking loose the bolts where the hitch installs would likely have been quite unpleasant if I didn't have an 18" wrench handle.
The product was priced very competitive with other vendors,the quality is great, and the shipping time was better than the other vendors. Thank you I will be doing more business with etrailer when the time comes.
