When you’re hauling serious weight, you want gear that’s as solid as the trailer behind you. This Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount handles up to 15,000 lbs gross towing weight and 1,500 lbs tongue weight. The one-piece forged steel construction gives you the strength and peace of mind to pull large cargo without worrying about flex or fatigue.
A level trailer makes every mile smoother and safer. With its 4" drop, this mount helps line up your coupler height for a balanced tow. It measures 8-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole, giving you the reach you need while keeping everything stable and properly aligned.
No need to fuss with torque wrenches or guessing if it’s tightened right. The 2-5/16" chrome-plated hitch ball comes pre-torqued to factory specs so it’s ready to drop into your 2" receiver and go. Just secure it with your pin and clip or lock (sold separately), hook up your trailer, and you’re set.
Towing gear faces all kinds of weather and road grime, but this mount is made to handle it. The solid steel shank wears a carbide black powder coat finish, while the hitch ball has corrosion-resistant chrome plating. Together they fight rust and wear so your setup stays reliable trip after trip.

Ratings & Reviews
The quality of craftsmanship is great. I actually used it first time last week pulling a trailer from Texas to Arizona. A very good product.
Very pleased was a day late but etrailer reimbursed me the shipping I paid. I will definitely shop here agian.
Got the 15,000 lb ball mount and 2 5/16" ball delivered a day early. The product is built and finished well and exactly what I needed for a super great price. Thanks!
Perfect, just what I want for heavy duty. Fast delivery at a very good price.
having the ball installed from etrailer is the way to go. Need to pack the box with some stuffing so the weight doesn't move around in shipping.
will try hitch next mouth. Disappointed that the 9inc snap pads where back ordered. Will, said he would let me know when they would be back in stock. Thank You.
very dependable solid shank/ safe for all my trailers. would definite recommend to a friend. and again thanks etrailer
Excellent heavy duty receiver hitch, one that is strong enough to be used with a 1 ton truck.
The ball mount is heavy duty and its solid steel right out of the box. Great product at the best possible price. Exactly what I was looking for towing my dump trailer. I highly recommend this ball mount.
Very heavy duty, this is built with a solid shaft rather than tubing. Fits my receiver well. Probably the strongest ball mount I have seen.
Highly recommended, if you need maximum strength, but it is heavy, probably 2-3 times as much steel as in other ball mounts.
The two products arrived on-time and in excellent condition. Both the trailer rim and CURT ball mount are of high quality and exactly what is needed to solve my two different issues. I found the selection of the ball mounts to be excellent relative to the selection of the big chain stores. I will definitely order from etrailer.com again.
Needed a 3" rise ball mount/ ball to haul 14,000#. Heavy duty forged ball mount - 17,000#, 2 5/16" heavy duty ball- 15,000#. Curt made the right product as a package including the pin. Etrailer was priced right with excellent customer service, received in 2 days. Highly recommend this Curt package even if your load is less because it is only a few bucks more than the hollow tube 10,000# ball mounts.
I would give this 5 stars except the fact that the ball was not tight. When I ordered this I assumed it was ready to use. When I looked at it after I received it I noticed the lock washer was not all the way compressed. I backed the nut off and it was hardly tight at all. When I ordered this I also ordered a ball mount with a 6" drop and the same 2-5/16" ball with 1-1/4" shaft. That ball had a tag which said the ball should be torqued to 450 ft-lbs. This one was no where near 450 ft-lbs, it might have been about 50 ft-lbs at the most.
Someone that did not look at this might have an issue down the road if they didn't tighten the nut. Looks to be a quality control issue.
Product arrived earlier than expected and it fit perfectly on my vehicle. I had conducted extensive research for an equivalent product and this was the best value for the price. I don't anticipate having any problems towing my trailer with this hitch. I put a locking pin on the hitch to discourage potential theft.
One of the best internet companies that I have ordered from and I have ordered a lot over the years. Kim was excellent help with my order. I elected for free ship and my order was packed and shipped out on Sat. And
received on Wed.
Pricing was about half of what my local trailer retailer ask.
Bottom line, order from these people and you will not be disappointed.
The Curt controller was very easy to install and adjust and works perfectly. The ball mount is massive, no worries about breaking this monster ! Very pleased with every aspect of this purchase.
I needed a 4" drop hitch to replace my existing straight hitch ball for my new pickup. The new truck sits much higher than my old one did and I couldn't quite get the trailer high enough. This is a brute of a hitch and appears very well made. I think it was a very goo purchase for the price Etrailer sells it for. I don't expect to have any troubles from the ball forward. Watch out trailers; Here we come!
Fits a little loose in my reciever so when I don't have a trailer on it it tends to rattle and thunk a bit but nothing too obnoxious. The chrome didn't last long where the trailer tongue rides. The heaviest I've had on it is a 3500lb trailer with about 3800lbs worth of tractor on it loaded fairly tongue heavy because of the big brush hog on the tractor. All in all, i can't complain too much though at this price point.
GREAT PFODUCT FOR THE RIGHT PRICE. SHIPPING WAS FAST AND WEBSITE VERY USER FRIENDLY
The forged ball and drop hitch works flawlessly on my motor home. I tow a 24 ft box trailer with show bikes. I trust Curt and ordering from etrailer is always made easy by knowledgeable sales persons....shipped out promptly each and every time.
Thank You
Item was exactly what I wanted. Packaging was horrible.
I thought Curt was an american company. I'm a little disappointed that this says made in china. I thought I was buying a fifteen thousand pound rated piece, but the sticker on it says seventeen thousand pounds. I'm okay with the higher rating as long as it's honest. Tube fits a little sloppy, and will probably rattle when unloaded, but it'll work.
perfect. Heavy duty at a great price
Arrived sooner than expected. A very sturdy hitch with pin. I especially appreciate having the rounded edges where we frequently walk at the back of the SUV. 4" drop is correct to match my truck and trailer hitch height on my Subaru Ascent.

Still working great
Exactly as advertised! After I ordered the wrong one, my bad, Will at etrailer made the return process simple and had the correct one shipped same day. We always use etrailer, fantastic customer service.
The hitch showed up on time and is heavy duty as expected.
