Video Transcript for What to Know About the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount, has a 6,000 pound weight capacity. Now this is designed to mount on trailer hitches that have a two inch by two inch receiver tube opening. You notice this is an adjustable channel mount, which will allow for precise trailer leveling. There's six rows of holes here and each one is one inch increment between the rows, so you can move it up wherever you need it.It is equipped with a one inch diameter hole to accept a trailer ball. It has a shank diameter with one inch right here on the mount. Now this shank can also be flipped for maximum rise and a maximum drop.

Right now we have it in the max position, so here's the maximum drop. That would be measured from the top of the shank, to the top of the ball platform. You could put a ruler on that, maximum drop would be six and three quarter inches. If you turned it around, put it in the rise position, and measure top of the shank, top of the ball mount, you'd be measuring maximum rise of five and a quarter inches.Does offer two hitch pinholes, right here on the side. It'll provide either 11 inch or 12 inch shank length, and that measurement is from the center of the ball hold to the center of the hitch pinhole, you can see 11 inches to the first hole, and then 12 inches to the back hole.

Does also offer right down here if you can see, there's a rubber dampener, that you can move from either there or move it up. But that dampener's there to eliminate possible rattle between this channel mount and the ball mount platform when it's all put together.Now it is protected by a nice highly durable carbide powder coat finish. The pins and clips you can see for the channel mount are all included. And it also includes the hitch pin and clip to hold this mount to the hitch. Weight capacity again on this is 6,000 pounds.

Ton weight capacity is 600 pounds.That should do it for the review on the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount with a 6,000 pound weight capacity.

  • What Is Drop of Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount # C45901 When in Tallest Drop Position

  • Recommended Locking Pins For Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount C45901
    There sure is! The correct locking pins for the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 5-1/4" Rise, 6-3/4" Drop - 6,000 lbs # C45901 is the Curt Lock Set # C23556. This set includes one lock to lock the ball mount section to the channel, and one lock to lock the coupler to your trailer hitch receiver. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Can the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount Be Set to Have Zero Rise?
    Yes, Troy you are absolutely correct. You can set the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount item # C45901 to have zero rise or drop. Essentially making the ball mount level. This ballmount does not include a hitch ball. Depending on your coupler size you will either need a 2" Hitch Ball item # 63845 or a 2-5/16" hitch ball item # 63847.

  • Adjustable Ball Mount Set that Has 1-7/8 inch and 2 inch Ball
    We have a similar way to accomplish what you are looking for from the # C45901 but we don't have replacement platforms for it. So instead you'd want the shank part # AMAC1, two platforms # BA-1 and then the ball sizes you want # 63845 and # C40002.

  • Recommended Ball Mount w/ 14" From the Center of the Hitch Pin to the Center of the Hitch Ball
    Hey Jr. The best option I have is the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount item # 80232. From the center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole is 15-3/4". It does only have a 3/4" rise but there's not many options for that long of a ball mount. The Hidden Hitch Ball Mount item # 80232 has an identical 6,000 lbs capacity as the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount item # C45901 you're using. You can use the 2" Hitch Ball item # 40038 or the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball item # 63847. What kind of trailer...

  • Recommended Ball Mount To Replace Curt C45901 With Missing Parts
    I reached out to my contact at Curt and while I have a complete replacement option for you, the ball mount section of the # C45901 is not available separately. Since there is no other ball mount option of the same style that will fit your shank, you will need to purchase another # C45901. In addition you will need a hitch ball with a 1" shank, the 1-7/8" # C40002, 2" # 40083, or 2-5/16" # C40005. I included a video of the # C45901 for you to take a look at.

  • Replacement Hitch Ball Solution for Curt Channel Mount Ball Mount
    Just the replacement ball mount platform of the part # C45901 is not available but I have a similar solution that might work for you. The part # C45912 fits the same Curt channel you have now and would give you a dual ball setup with a 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch ball.

  • Does Brophy Ball Platform Have Vertical Adjustment Holes 1-1/4 Apart on Center
    According to the review video we have of the Brophy # RTB1 ball platform those holes used to vertically adjust this piece are 2" apart on center. It kind of sounds like you have a shank for a weight distribution system as the 1-1/4" height measurement tends to be a standard with those. Since the head unit for a weight distribution system tends to be a bit pricey I recommend just replacing the whole thing with a more cost-effective whole unit like the Convert-a-Ball # TK5007 or even the...

    We can get your 2002 Toyota Tacoma set up with a hitch and the other parts needed for towing your trailer, and let's start with the best option for a trailer hitch that fits your truck: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e64AR This hitch has a 5,000 lb towing/500 lb tongue weight so it's more than enough for your trailer, and I like it the most due to its matte black finish, which looks nicer than the glossier finishes of other hitches and also does a better job of hiding the inevitable...

  • Can the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount Be Flipped?
    Yes, the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount item # C45901 can adjust for a zero to 1" rise. The shank can be flipped for a max rise of 5-1/4" and drop of 6-3/4" but it doesn't have to be with the adjustability of the channel. The channel can be adjusted by 1" increments. For hitch balls we have the 2" item # 40038 or 2-5/16" item # 19286. For a double ball you will want the Replacement 2" and 2-5/16" Dual-Sided Hitch Ball for Curt 2" Adjustable Ball Mount item # C45912. I recommend...

  • Is 2" Curt Rocker Ball Compatible With Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount C45901
    Since your trailer has a 2" coupler you will need to use the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter Shank - Chrome - 7.5K # C40047. The # C40047 will work perfectly on the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 5-1/4" Rise, 6-3/4" Drop - 6,000 lbs # C45901. While the # C40047 has a 7500lb towing capacity, since the # C45901 has a maximum towing capacity of 6000lbs you will be limited to 6000lbs which is plenty since you are only planning on towing 3500-4000lbs.

You can use either of the following 2" or 2-5/16" RockerBalls with this ball mount: - Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C40047 - Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C82KR I have added links below to video reviews for you to...

  • Does Shank Length of Curt Adjustable Ball Mount # C45901 Affect Capacity of Hitch
    An 11 inch long ball mount is on the longer side but not long enough that it would it diminish the towing capacity of your Toyota Highlander. If were to go much beyond 11 inches I would begin to worry that maybe the leverage would be too much but for your situation I would not think twice about it being totally.

  • Adjustable Ball Mount for 5 inch Rise that Adjusts with 1 inch Increment
    Thanks for all of the measurements and details! So the correct amount of rise you'd need would be right at 5 inches based on that.

  • Is the Ball Platform Sold Separately on the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount C45901
    I do have an option for you but the ball platform portion of the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount part # C45901 is not available separately. That said, I can confirmed that it works with the channel portion of the Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount part # C45900.

  • Recommended 6 Drop Adjustable Ball Mount with 7,500 Lb Capacity
    I do have some options for you though you'll be limited by capacity as most adjustable ball mounts without a hitch ball don't hold the weight capacity you requested. That said, they do have the drop and hitch ball hole size requirements you seek. I recommend Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount part # C45901 which offers up to a 6-3/4" drop and has a 6,000 lb weight capacity or the Gen-Y Phantom X Ball Mount part # GY87VR which offers up to a 6" drop and has a 7,000 lb weight capacity.
