A trailer that’s off-level can sway or load unevenly, and that’s no fun on the road. This Curt starter kit includes a fixed ball mount that gives you both a 3/4" rise and a 2" drop, so you can match your trailer height for a level, stable tow. The 7-1/2" long shank fits standard 2" x 2" receivers, keeping your setup balanced and easy to line up every time.
Instead of hunting down parts one by one, this kit comes with everything you need to start towing. You get a pre-torqued 2" chrome-plated hitch ball, a pin and clip, a locking hitch receiver lock with keys, a rubber hitch cover, and even a sturdy storage case to keep it all together. The ball mount is pre-assembled and ready to slide into your 2" receiver—just secure it and you’re set.
When you hook up a trailer, knowing your gear can handle the load brings peace of mind. This setup is rated for 7,500 lbs gross towing weight and 750 lbs tongue weight. The steel shank takes the stress of heavy loads without flexing, and the pre-torqued hitch ball stays tight through long hauls. It’s a solid match for everyday towing jobs like boats, campers, or equipment trailers.
Towing gear sees all kinds of weather—rain, salt, and road grime. The black powder coat on the ball mount and chrome finish on the hitch ball help resist corrosion and keep things looking clean after repeated use. A watertight dust cap on the lock keeps moisture out so it won’t seize up over time.
You don’t have to leave your gear vulnerable when parked. The included hitch receiver lock helps prevent theft of your ball mount or other hitch-mounted accessories with an easy quarter-turn key action. When you’re not towing, pop in the rubber Curt hitch cover to keep dirt out of the receiver. Everything stows neatly in the reusable case until you’re ready to tow again.

Very happy with hitch and components, came in a nice tray that I use to store and organize the parts when not in use in the back compartment of my Telluride. All good.
Not really sure if two stars is appropriate, I'll let the reader determine that. My 2" Curt Hitch And 2" Curt C45534 receiver took 45 minutes of grinding in order to fit. The main problem was a misalignment of the two pieces at the end of the hitch receiver. Doesn't seem right for a new product. Other than that, instructions were clear and supplies were appropriate for a slightly involved install.

Sometimes it is true that powder coat paint build-up needs filing in order to piece together your hitch item # 75461 that you ordered and the ball mount correctly. Since you already filed, my suggestion would be to cover it in anti-corrosive paint and lubricate when using the accessory.

Had to replace the 2 inch due to the fact Jeep Wrangler Unlimited needs a 4 inch to keep trailer level and clear spare tire mount. Curt products are outstanding,welds and paint finish lasts.etrailer customer service went out of their way to take care of me. Kudos to Sherry for her assistance!
I normally keep a complete towing set in my automobiles and needed a new set for my wife's car. After some research, I decided to go with the Curt Towing Starter Kit. The quality is excellent and every aspect of the hitch and lock worked flawlessly. I can highly recommend this Curt starter kit to anyone needing a complete receiver hitch kit. Thanks once again!!

It’s been a year since purchasing this great Curt towing set. This car has a mobility lift installed, so I only keep the kit handy if towing is required. In the past year, I have not had to tow anything with this vehicle and the set has been stored safely in the case it came with and is still essentially new. Nice towing set!
Great experience, even upgraded to be delivered faster than expected. Keep up the great work!!

It has worked amazingly. Haven’t had not one problem. Been pulling several different length trailers with no problems.
GREAT SELECTION OF PRODUCTS. VERY ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS
GREAT ON DELIVERY TIME
Looks exactly like what I ordered, and shipping was quick! Thanks, eTrailer! :-) I'm a trailer noobie, so this will get me started... :-D
Excellent hitch easy installation.It only took me about an hr and half to install from start to finish
Had to replace my towing ball with new setup. Should work very well towing the snowmobile trailer this winter season.
Well made and like the plastic case to keep it all together when not being used.
Love the quality of the hitch and pins provided.
Great fit and finish on this kit. So nice to be able to tow things with my Forester now. I thought I had an issue but figured out it was user error pretty quick, but only after I contacted etrailer for help. I heard back within 30 minutes of emailing and by that time I figured out my blunder. They were extremely helpful and responsive and were set on fixing the problem I thought I had. I have used etrailer for several different purchases over the past couple years and every time I have been thrilled with the service and the quality of product.
Easy installation, low profile and excellent quality. Exactly what I was looking for in a hitch receiver for our 2021 Pilot.
Well made great packaging to store product and not loose parts when not using ball and hitch and easy to install. Looks like it’s solid, well built and best of all Made in America.
Works as intended.
I'm going to be moving soon and I have a new truck. I bought a hitch kit and extendable rear view mirrors for towing. They were well packaged and delivered quicker than I expected. You get something extra with your order. What really impressed me was the people. These people clearly LOVE what they do. You get people who actually care, with every order. That's something you can't buy and they give it away with every order.
Easy to install. Solid quality! I appreciated the locking pin which provided extra security and peace of mind. I would recommend this item.
Excellent receiver kit! Combined with the curt trailer hitch and the oem Mazda trailer harness add on, this is legit!
GREAT! Ball/mount assembly kit received in excellent condition.
(Note: I had also received the hitch assembly a week or so earlier)
Impressed with quality, fit and performance of product.
Perfect set-up for my bike rack used on my 2020 Subaru Outback.
Will definitely use etrailer.com for future purchases.
Great packaging, fast shipping, good instructional video, good diagrams, good descriptions.
There were some UPS delivery issues, damaged in shipment. But, etrailer.com jumped right on sending out another shipment after it was apparent that UPS would not complete the delivery.
The installation took longer, maybe 1-1/2 hours, because I did not have all my tools ready and I was working on the concrete floor in the dark to outside with a portable shop light. Everything fit well and it looks great.
The 2" drop ball mount was the perfect height for my 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I love the look of the Curt black insert that makes the hitch looks like it belongs on the car, nothing embarrassing at all.
Anything negative? Maybe. The flat plate was a little difficult to hook onto with the UHaul safety chains on a 5x8 trailer. That's hardly a negative, though, and I wouldn't have spent more on another brand choice because of this. Happy happy!
Perfect starter kit to get towing quickly, and at a great price with a nice carrying case as a bonus..
Smooth connection, got me started in trailer town right away! Everything I would’ve wanted. The lock bar is a nice touch.
I have not used it yet. Some questions the new hitch is shorter.
I have a 2020 outback with a Curt receiver hitch
The old hitch stick out of the back of the receiver the new hitch is
about a 1” short of the end of the receiver does that effect the strength
of the system.
I need to put the ball on the other side, what torque does the ball and nut
need?
Thanks , Jeff
Excellent quality! However I would like to see the safety-chain loops a half inch larger. With the receiver "ell" pin installed you have to fiddle with the chain hook to get it through the loops. Not fun in the pouring rain!
