Level trailers track straighter and handle better. This heavy-duty forged mount gives you both a 1" rise and a 2" drop so you can line up your trailer just right. It measures 8-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole, giving you room to clear bumpers and couplers while keeping your setup balanced.
When you’re towing heavy gear like large campers or equipment haulers, strength matters. This Class V forged steel ball mount packs serious muscle with a 17,000-lb gross trailer weight rating and a 2,550-lb tongue weight limit. The solid, one-piece construction keeps flex to an absolute minimum so your connection stays tight when the load gets serious.
Road salt, rain, and grime can rough up a hitch over time, but not this one. Its solid forged steel body is coated in a corrosion-resistant carbide black powder finish that keeps rust at bay. It’s the kind of mount you can leave in year-round without worrying about it seizing or dulling out after a few trips through bad weather.
No moving parts, no adjustments—just a strong mount that slips straight into your 2" x 2" receiver. The fixed design makes it dependable every time you tow and eliminates the rattling that adjustable systems can develop. Add your preferred hitch ball with a 1-1/4" diameter shank and secure it with a hitch pin or lock (sold separately), and you’re ready to roll.

THANKS JAMES Y
I bought a multitude of boat trailer parts from etrailer. The parts I was able to find in one place completely finished off my new boat trailer that I had built and for a fraction of the cost.
This baby is HEAVY DUTY! Would probably be able to pull the empire state building and Its made from a solid chunk of steel so if you are in a bad neighborhood you can take off your hitch and use it as a weapon.
I like the weight of this solid ball mount. I usually have ball mounts that are light and hollow. This is already paying dividends as I now have (1) less thing to think when I’m pulling my trailer.
Real heavy duty and strong only thing that would make it better would be a stainless steel version
Perfect and very reasonable pricing
This is the best and strongest ball mount that exceeds my requirements . Also, it’s well made and nice in appearance. The ball is a great one too, but it could use a place to hold with a wrench during tightening and torquing the nut. Please incorporate my suggestion.
Thanks
Heavy duty.
I ordered the hitch, receiver, and wiring kit for our work van. They arrived in a timely manner and were a breeze to install, thanks to the great instructions. Really helped to be able to watch the video on the website on the installation procedures.
Needed a hitch and wiring for my plumbing van. Etrailer had the best selection, price, and installation videos / guides. The electrical was super easy as well as the trailer hitch installation. I did it myself without helpers on my garage floor in 20 minutes. All you need is a 3/4 inch deep socket, 1/2 ratchet, flat head screw driver and torque wrench.
I use these on 7 trucks that tow trailers 32,000 + miles per year. If you want to feel safe with a ball carrier that will stand the test this is the way to go.
I have been using these for several years with no issues and will continue to purchase them. They are heavy but they are durable.
I do a lot of off road towing of a 5000LB camping trailer. All my past experiences resulted in bent hitches. This forged hitch solved my problem. Solid and no way am I going to bend this one. :-)
Heavy duty ball mount and great capacities. Marked down one star due to having about 3mm of play inside of my gen 2.5 Tundra's 2inch receiver hitch. I will have to mount a set screw or find another solution for the excess play.
I bought my first ball mount way back when I was broke (bought the cheapest one in the big box store). With my new trailer I needed 14k capacity instead of 10k so I double checked the mount before buying a heavier duty ball...it was rated for only 5k!! Folks, check those mounts to make sure they're rated for the job!! This one is a honker btw, love it. Side by side with old it's like brick vs bubble gum, embarrassing I haven't upgraded sooner. And thanks for the guidance.
I purchased the Curt ball mount over a year ago and put it to work immediately. We have a trailer hooked to it 7 days a week and tow about 750+ miles a week per truck.
I cannot tust any light duty ball mount
to hold up to the continued use we put them through. Curt heavy duty is all we purchase for our trucks and I have never had a problem with them.
Good product and super service. One note. These have 1 1/4” holes and not 1”. I missed that when I ordered. So if you’re using hitch pins make note of that.
I recently installed a 18,000# DMI receiver hitch on my pickup and was looking for a similarly rated draw bar to match up with it. I use the truck on my farm for pulling heavy grain wagons and dollies. Locally the strongest draw bar I could find was 12,000# so I turned to the internet and found the heaviest rating at etrailer.com at 17,000#. After placing the order I decided I should have also ordered a compatible ball at the same time. I placed another call to etrailer with my request and the helpful order rep was able to make it happen. Very helpful customer service folks and very prompt shipping. I am well satisfied all the way around.

Your product is doing its job fine. It is only used intermittently, but is always up to the task. A good product
The whole for the bolt is to big but I've worked it out and I think it will work.
Better than I expected. A very strong solid steel.
Truely solid hitch, not hollow. Made for heavy towing. Quick ship, good product.
Very heavy duty hitch, fit into truck perfectly, ball attached easily as well. Definitely very good quality especially when comparing it to other hitches I have.
Love this Curt ball mount. Heavy duty, rugged. One piece with no welding.
There is no chance of a breakage at weld since there is no welding on this piece. Well above my load weight. Never haul a heavier load than the limit shown on the ball mount sticker.
