Features to know about

Keeps Your Trailer Level: 2-5/8" Rise or 3-1/4" Drop

Getting the height just right makes all the difference in how your trailer handles. This solid Class I drawbar gives you both a 2-5/8" rise and a 3-1/4" drop, so you can line up your coupler for level towing either way. It keeps smaller trailers tracking straight and stable whether you’re hauling utility gear, a small camper, or weekend equipment.

Built Strong for Everyday Towing: 2,000 lbs GTW Rating

When you’re towing light-duty loads, you still need dependable strength. This ball mount is rated for 2,000 lbs gross towing weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. The sturdy steel construction and solid shank handle routine hauls without flex or fuss, giving you confidence every time you hitch up.

Resists Rust and Road Grime: Gloss Black Powder Coat Finish

Towing gear takes a beating from rain and salt, but this mount’s corrosion-resistant, gloss black powder coat helps it stay clean and protected. The finish holds up to rough weather and regular use so your setup keeps looking good season after season.

Smooth Fit and Finish: CNC Machined Steel Shank

A quality fit makes hookup quick and easy. The shank is CNC machined for consistent cuts and welds that seat squarely in a 1-1/4" hitch receiver. That tight fit means less slop and a more secure connection when you’re on the road.

Simple, Reliable Setup: Fixed Ball Mount Design

Sometimes simple is best. This fixed ball mount has no moving parts to adjust or wear out. Just choose the rise or drop position that levels your trailer, insert it into your 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver, add your hitch pin or lock, and you’re ready to tow confidently.

Corrosion-resistant ball mount is 6-1/4" long and fits 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" trailer hitch receivers.

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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!

Would be nice if it was 1/2" or so away from the car bumper.

This was a very minor purchase.. Yet, it was handled very nicely. We have the product, on time, and it works great.........WHAT A COUNTRY........thanks

Fast delivery, quality part, great customer service, at a fair price. Repeat customer and loving it !



by:

Product exactly has described ... fast shipping ... excellent transaction!



by:

No problems so far. Fits the oddly shallow trailer (also purchased here) for my toyota corolla 2001. It interferes with the license plate to where I have to bend it to get things to fit, but it should still be workable.



by:

Solidly built. For my application, 2014 Cruze, I should have gotten a longer one. This works but it puts my trailer tongue really close to the bumper.



by:

A great product with outstanding customer service from etrailer!

Great Prices and Product.... Fast shipping...What more would you want!!!!

This is a hollow steel shaft with solid steel tongue for the ball. The steel is heavy gauge. Mine fit perfectly into my motorcycle trailer hitch receiver. I have bought trailer hitches from eTrailer in the past. As usual, this is another quality product at a fair price DELIVERED TO MY DOOR!



by:

I ordered a Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch for my 2005 Toyota Avalon, a hitch ball, a drawbar with a 3 1/2" rise and the wiring kit necessary to connect my car to a 4 prong trailer connection. The tutorials were great and along with the instructions included made the installation fairly easy to install everything myself. The prices were the best I could find on all the items and everything shipped fairly quickly and arrived in good time. I use all of these products together weekly to pull my boat and enjoy various lakes that are available in my area. I would highly recommend this website and it's products and have ordered other items since my original purchase with satisfaction.



by:

The drawbar being hollow in the male end seemed to be too large in diameter to fit the female receiver on my car's fairly new hitch. I had to hammer the drawbar into the hitch. I doubt i will ever be able to remove this drawbar without destroying what it was hammered into. While drawbars with solid male ends easily slid in and out of my car's hitch. I'm not pleased.

Hmmm, it sounds like the powder coat on the ball mount may be too thick. We generally suggest to sand down the powder coating on the ball mount slightly. You will definitely need to recoat the powder coating paint with a rust-oleum type of paint to prevent future corrosion. I have a link below for your reference.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball Mount

  • What is the Difference Between a Class I and Class II Ball Mount
    Class I Ball Mounts When towing with a Class I trailer hitch, the Class I ball mount that is recommended by the trailer hitch manufacturer should be used. All Class I trailer hitches are tested and rated with the specific ball mount for that hitch. Using a ball mount that is not recommended by the manufacturer will void the warranty. The features of a a Class I ball mount are: Has a 1-1/4 inch x 1-1/4 inch shank Class II ball mounts will not fit on Class I trailer hitches Held in place...

  • Correct Towing Products for a 2011 Honda Accord
    The part 116813-56173-40001 can be broken down into a few different parts. The first 6 digits (116813) are the same as a Class I Curt trailer hitch and it will only fit a 2013 - 2017 Honda Accord. The next 5 digits, same as part # C56173, is a wiring harness that fits a 2013 - 2017 Honda Accord. And the last 5, same as part # C40001, is only a 1-7/8" hitch ball but it would fit the ball mount that comes with the trailer hitch mentioned above. If you have a Sedan or Coupe then the Curt...

  • Can the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer with SkyRise HD Tent Be Towed with a 1-1/4" Hitch
    The Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer with SkyRise HD Tent # Y08129-3627 weighs approx. 310 lbs. and uses a 2" ball coupler. From what I can find on the Mazda CX-5 it has a tow rating of 2,000 lbs. and your hitch is likely around the same capacity. You will want to verify the tow capacity of your Mazda CX-5 in your owners manual and the capacity of the specific hitch you have. But more than likely this will work with your set-up because it is well under the limits I was able to locate. You...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation that is 4 inches Shorter than the Sportframe Ball Mount part # 3594
    I believe the closest thing we have to the Sportframe Drawbar part # 3594 that you referenced that is 4 inches shorter would be the Curt Class I Drawbar # C45027. The length of this ball mount from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball hole is 6-1/4 inches and it has a rise of 2-5/8 inches. Basically this ball mount is 4 inches shorter than the ball mount you referenced but its rise is about 1-1/2 inches lower.

  • Ball Mount and Ball Recommendations for Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2011 Dodge Caliber
    I checked to see which hitch you ordered for your 2011 Dodge Caliber and it was Draw-Tite hitch # 24769. For Class I trailer hitches like this you are supposed to use the ball mount recommended by the hitch manufacturer. In this case it is # 3591 and the hitch instructions indicate it should be used in the rise position only (with the ball platform on top). A hitch pin with clip is included. If the trailer you will be towing takes a 1-7/8 inch ball you can use ball # 19256. And if it requires...

  • Is there a 1-1/4 Inch Ball Mount with 4 to 5 Inches of Drop
    Ball mount # 36078 has a drop of 4-3/4 inches. This ball mount is designed for Class II hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. If you have a Class I hitch this ball mount may not fit depending on the brand of the hitch. For a Class I hitch we have several ball mounts that offer a 3-1/4 inch drop: # C45022, # C45026, and # C45027. Also keep in mind that the tongue weight of the trailer will pull down on the back of the vehicle some so that can help in keeping the trailer level.
