Getting your trailer height right makes a big difference in how it tows. This forged ball mount gives you both a 4" drop and a 2-1/2" rise, so you can line up your trailer for a level, stable pull. It measures 8-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole, giving plenty of clearance for most setups. Whether you’re hauling a camper or a heavy equipment trailer, it stays solid and balanced either way.
When you’re hauling heavy loads, you need hardware that won’t flinch. This Class V mount is rated for up to 20,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 2,700 lbs tongue weight. It’s made from solid, one-piece forged steel—no welds or weak spots—and holds that full rating whether you use it in the drop or rise position. It’s dependable strength for big jobs without extra bulk or moving parts.
Sometimes simple is best. The fixed mount design keeps things solid with fewer parts to worry about loosening over time. The solid steel shank fits a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" hitch receiver and weighs about 17 lbs, giving that satisfying “built like a tank” feel when you slide it in place. The ball hole has a 1-1/4" diameter to fit common heavy-duty hitch balls rated for this capacity.
Towing gear takes abuse from rain, salt, and road grit, but this mount’s carbide black powder coat finish keeps rust at bay. The coating holds up to miles of towing and bad weather without peeling or flaking. It stays looking clean and ready to work season after season without requiring special upkeep.

I thought it fit a lose in the receiver. I am going to pull the trailer tomorrow. If it rattles I might have to shin it when not pulling.
Thanks for the quick shipping.

Great ball mount at a great price. Always been happy with etrailer purchases.Been a repeat customer for years and always happy. Always has the answers when asked.
Hitch was exactly what I needed but the service from Etrailer is outstanding.
Not only received materials on time but 2 days early because someone in shipping took the time to upgrade shipping at no extra expense.
I am a customer for life.

It is strong and works great. I pull a trailer loaded in excess of 12,000 lbs. The only thing is it fits a little to lose in the receiver. When pulling empty trailer it rattles.
This is a solid insert that has worked well and meets the load requirement. The boat/trailer combo weighs 18,000 lbs. and this is a critical link in making it a safe tow.
This is the second one I have bought, different offsets, and would recommend it.
It never ceases to amaze me that everyone claims great customer service, but few provide it.
I like to think I 'discovered' etrailer as a true customer service gem, so as I shared my 'find' with my horse towing friends, they told me they already knew and that George is the trailer king.
My only concern now is why my friends didn't tell me sooner. Friends tell friends about etrailer, right?
I count you folks among the very small number of outfits that I can count on to deliver each and every time.
thank you! thank you! thank you!

Quality of product is excellent. Curt hitches are heavy duty and will last a lifetime. My second purchase from etrailer.com. The description and knowledge of their products is exceptional. Very satisfied.
Extra heavy and good quality. Only problem I had was I didn’t see in the info that the ball hole was 1 1/2” instead of 3/4”. So had to order a new ball.
Needed a heavy duty ball mount and didn't want to deal with an adjustable mount. Extremely impressed with the quality of the 4" drop Curt mount. Solid from ball to mount point, not the hollow mounts made by other companies. With a 20k pound rating it will definitely exceed the weight I plan to tow.
Heavy duty, high quality cast ball mount that fits the 2.5” Ford Superduty receiver without using the reducer sleeve.
I ordered a Class V ball and ball mount with pins. This is for the 2.5 inch heavy duty receiver. I needed a set-up for pulling an emergency services boat that weighs over 18,000 lbs.
I was able to get a set-up rated at 20,000 lbs, in stock. Shipping was fast and quality looks good.
I like etrailer for all my towing needs over the years. The fact you wait a year to ask for a review speaks volumes. 2018 Ram truck has a 2.5" receiver! The square "bushing" set-up supplied with the vehicle did not seem very sound, although it probably is. Anyway the forged 2.5" stinger has been fine-no worries for me! Bomb-proof!!
Needed a drop hitch after buying a 3/4 ton truck. I haul a 27 foot travel trailer and a flatbed trailer with tractor. Very solid and heavy hitch. Etrailer gives great descriptions and dimensions for their products at good prices and great service.
I would recommend the puchase of this receiver hitch for any heavy duty towing. Shipping, delivery time, price, and customer care are top notch at etrailer.com
Information tag was damaged and falling off. Quality control should be better for the price.
The hitch choice didn't work for my 2016 Ram 2500. The trailers that I needed to tow had a fixed trailer jack.
If I lowered my tailgate, due to it's big lip design, it would hit the jack. I resorted to a hitch that was longer and was adjustable.
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my dad to use on his late model Chevrolet 2500HD 4x4 (4" drop). I had heard him complain several times about the rattling associated with the 2" adapter and his old ball mounts. Needless to say he now has no more rattle and plenty of capacity with this heavy duty unit. Highly recommended for 2.5" hitches!
I use to tow a 1999 Sea Ray 330 Sundancer with my 2011 Ford F350. Needed something that would handle the weight and this definitely does that. Good quality and seems very strong. Perfect drop to make the trailer sit level when connected to the truck. The only negative I would say about it is that it fits fairly loose in the receiver. Also, the hitch pin hole in the mount is a little oversize so there is some back and forth when stopping and taking off.
My hitch and ball is everything I need to pull my boat. Great customer service and web site. To bad it was made in China. USA

Great
Excellent Product and even better customer service.i would recommend trailer for all your towing needs
Works as described. Solid. Used in my 2500HD to pull my tractor and implements.
This item came right on time and was exactly what I needed. The product quality is first rate and it was exactly as advertised in the product description. The assembly was very easy and left me with full confidence about the compatibility of these components.

Still works very well and i have ordered more of the same item.
Showed up when they said, and very happy with it
This review does not just serve my recent order, but all of the orders before it. I have purchased a number of items from etrailer and everything was sent in a timely manor as stated and promised. All of the items I received were exactly as described. I watched a number of videos, read a number of diagrams and all of the help information was exactly what I needed. In other words I did not need to go anywhere else to get a full tow package for a Dodge 5500 that did not have one. I cannot say enough about how this website helped me. Also the pricing was about the best I could find and I did a lot of searching to make sure. This is a top notch site and I will absolutely come back here for my future towing needs.
Hitch ball and mounts all ready to the test!!!
Great Products!!
Five Star e-trailer team, very informative, fast and accurate shipping, perfect packaging and "GREAT" customer service"
