Towing with the right drop is key to keeping your trailer level and stable. This ball mount gives you a full 6" drop from the top of the inside of the hitch opening, helping line things up for an even, confident tow. Whether you’re hauling a camper or equipment trailer, that extra height adjustment helps prevent sway and uneven load handling.
No extra steps or tools needed to get started. The 2-5/16" diameter hitch ball comes factory pre-torqued, and the kit also includes a pin and clip so you can slide it into your 2" x 2" receiver and hit the road. It’s a simple setup that covers all the basics without extra parts or assemblies.
When you’re pulling heavier trailers, strength matters. This fixed ball mount is rated for 7,500 lbs gross towing weight and 750 lbs tongue weight, giving you dependable performance for bigger hauls. The solid steel shank takes the stress of frequent towing without bending or loosening over time.
Road salt and weather can take their toll on towing gear, but this setup is built to handle it. The chrome-plated ball resists corrosion, while the black powder coat on the mount provides superior rust protection. It stays clean-looking and functional even after repeated use in rough conditions.
A fixed ball mount like this keeps towing straightforward—no moving parts or adjustments to worry about. With fewer pieces to wear out or loosen, it stays solid every time you tow. It’s the kind of no-drama setup that just works trip after trip.

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the CURT Trailer Hitch Ball Mount with a two and 5/16 ball or a two-inch hitch. Now this ball mount will give you a six-inch drop, like we have in our configuration here. And that's gonna give you some solid towing capacities with a gross trailer weight rating coming in at 7,500 pounds. So that's gonna be the weight of the trailer plus the accessories on it. You also have a tongue weight rating of 750 pounds, and that's gonna be the pressure that's put down on the ball mount. Now it can also be put in a rise position, and that's gonna give you a four-inch rise.
You are gonna have to re-torque your ball, but you just flip this over, undo this, torque the ball back down, and you do need to actually check the weight capacities on that as it does lower in the rise position. In fact, in the four-inch rise, we're gonna get a 6,000 pound gross trailer weight rating and a 600 pound tongue weight. The ball does come included, comes pre-torqued, so you don't have to worry about torquing it down if you're gonna be in that drop position. And it's gonna be rated at 7,500 pounds, so that's gonna be great for a pretty high capacity on a vehicle like this. Also included is a pin and clip, so that makes it easy.
Once you get this in the mail, you can simply put it in your vehicle, hook up to your trailer, and you should be good to go. Now if you ever want to upgrade to a locking pin and clip, you are gonna wanna pick up a 5/8 pin and clip, and that way you can leave the ball mount on the vehicle locked in place, and no one's gonna walk away with it. Now something you'll want to do on your vehicle is make sure that you have clearance for the coupler of a trailer to get onto the ball without causing any issues with your fascia or your bumper. And this measuring from the center of the hitch-pin to the center of the shank diameter is gonna be nine and a quarter inches. So it puts it out far enough on our Hummer today to make it nice and easy to hook up.
The steel construction is heavy duty, but you do have a hollow shank so it makes it a little bit lighter, which is nice. So that way if you're not using your ball mount, you can store it in your vehicle and it cuts down on the weight a little bit. And you also have a chrome ball here so that's gonna hold up just like the powder coat finish to the extremes of weather. That way you can leave it on your vehicle and it's gonna look nice for a long time. Now, even though you have a two and 5/16 ball included and already torqued down, you're not limited to just this size.
If you ever swap trailers or you need to use a two inch or a one and 7/8 ball, you can definitely put that on this ball mount and it's still gonna work. You are gonna have to torque those down. And when choosing a ball, you're gonna wanna make sure you have a one-inch diameter and that way it works with this mount. So this is gonna be a great option for some of your enclosed trailers or campers. Just that anything that has that two and 5/16 ball. Now keep in mind, you are gonna want to also check the weight of the trailer, the hitch at what it's rated at, and also what the vehicle's rated at towing, and take the lowest of those numbers that way you're not overloading anything during your towing experience and you stay safe. And that was a look at the CURT Trailer Hitch Ball Mount with two and 5/16 ball or two-inch hitch.

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
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.
Already has scratches on it when I pulled it out of the box. Looks like the ball or something else rubbed against it chipping the paint in transport/shipping. Looks sturdy the couple scratches on it wont hurt it for what I need and it will get more as time goes on. The paper packing material doesnt really help on heavy metal items.
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.
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.
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.
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
Fast and easy thank you
Great service...product came as anticip ated
Great product and great service as alwa ys.
Always good quality products and fast service. The videos for each item take the guess work out of ordering.
This product is good quality and works exactly the way I need it to. Very happy with my purchase!
Box had a hole in it where hitch ball came through. Other than a couple of scratches there was no damage. Maybe how you ship might need to change. Thanks
As always quick easy fast shipping and exactly described
The tow bar, ball, and pin, pre-assembled, is a good deal for the money. Shipping was fast. Fits my truck nicely.
