Features to know about

Keeps Every Trailer Level: Adjustable 8-3/4" Drop or 2-5/8" Rise

When you’re towing different trailers, matching heights can be a hassle. This Curt adjustable pintle hook and 2-5/16" hitch ball combo makes it easy to dial in the perfect height. The channel mount lets you slide the pintle hook up or down in 1" increments, giving you up to 8-3/4" of drop or 2-5/8" of rise. Leveling your setup keeps everything tracking straight and reduces sway when hauling heavy loads.

Handles Serious Weight: 20,000 lbs Towing Capacity

For big jobs that push your gear to the limit, this setup is built to handle it. With a 20,000 lb gross towing weight and a 2,000 lb tongue weight rating, it’s made for heavy-duty trailers and equipment. The solid steel shank slides into a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" receiver and stays locked in place with included pins and clips for dependable pulling strength trip after trip.

Built for Both Coupler Types: Pintle Hook and Hitch Ball Combo

Whether your trailer uses a standard coupler or a lunette ring, this hitch has you covered. The pintle hook connects securely to lunette ring couplers with a 2-1/2" or 3" inside eye diameter, while the 2-5/16" chrome-plated hitch ball handles standard couplers. You can latch and lock the pintle in the up position when using just the ball, so you don’t have to swap hardware between trailers.

Quiet and Durable on the Road: Anti-Rattle Design with Corrosion Protection

No one likes a noisy hitch clanking down the road. The built-in anti-rattle device on the shank keeps things tight for quieter towing. A gloss black powder coat protects the steel shank and platform from corrosion, while the chrome plating on the ball adds an extra layer of rust resistance. It’s a setup that stays solid and good-looking even after long hauls through bad weather.

Secures Easily: Safety and Locking Options

Safety matters when you’re dealing with heavy loads. The pintle latch includes its own safety pin so it won’t bounce open, and optional locking pins like Curt’s Lock Set # C23556 can secure both the receiver and adjustment points when you want extra peace of mind. It’s a straightforward way to keep your gear locked down wherever you tow.

Pintle hook and 2-5/16" hitch ball combo lets you hook up heavy-duty trailers of various heights to your tow vehicle. Towing capacity 20,000 lbs.

by:

The first time I have ever had a manufacturer wait until I had time to actually use a product before asking for a review. kudos!

This is a very wellbuilt hitch that has provided the strength and flexibility I needed.

Highly recommended!



by:

Hitch was perfect for my Dodge Ram 2500, with a higher weight rating than the truck can pull I have no worries when towing anything. The combination pintle/ball hitch is perfect for my needs with different trailers.



by:

Great product and it arrived very quick ly



by:

Very heavy duty and adjustable. Great set up with the interchangeability of the Dual Sided Ball Mount for 2” trailers as well. etrailer has “the best” customer service with super fast shipping. No doubt I will continue to use them.



by:

Packaged VERY WELL, this is the second one I have purchased. One for personal use and one for work to tow a 14k lb generator. For the price, you cannot beat the rating and I like to go overkill since having extra capacity has never let me down yet.

Very easy/quick to change the height of the pintle/ball and I much prefer this to others on the market that requires a socket set and wrench to adjust. Great Quality!



by:

I didn’t try it yet waiting for my 20 ton trailer to be built then I will let you know thank you very much be built



by:

Love the hitch, but there is one hole setting that the allen set screw does not touch the receiver ball and does not allow the allen to take any slop out of the pins slide.



by:

Works great



by:

Perfectly goes with my F350 for safety towing big, heavy trailers.

Works great for smaller mobile homes and large equipment trailers! Paint has held up well.



by:

works Great! the only negative I would say is that If you run multiple trailers make sure you check your chains, you might need to extend them as this hitch does extend out a couple inch's more that a standard hitch.



by:

Customer service with etailer is excellent. My original order had a damaged box with hardware missing. The hardware was replaced quickly.



by:

I found the heavy duty hitch I wanted locally, but etrailer was over $100 less with free shipping. Received the hitch in 4 days. Very pleased. Will be ordering my puck gooseneck ball from etrailer, as well.

Great hitch! I tow heavy with no concerns. Im a fan of Curt products



by:

Exactly what I was looking for. Adjustable for multiple trailers with different tongue heights



by:

extremely heavy duty, I feel much more comfortable with the added strength of this drawbar and hitch while towing my sailboat across country. I have never seen anything this robust in any stores.

The adjustable height is perfect for me since i run two military trailers with lunette rings and one with the large ball.

works as you expect and great price for what you get. So pleased I bought another one for my work truck. VERY heavy duty.



by:

Really like the hitch. Using for work on a 5500 Ram. I took my time looking at the many on the market and very satisfied with this one for the price, heavy duty design, and quickness of delivery.



by:

I am roberts brother , Dan Trombley we have the same address, I bought it, very nice heavy duty hitch, thank you



by:

Well built. Exceeds expectations.



by:

hitch still holding strong never had a problem the adjustability makes towing any trailer a breeze



by:

Ordered a hitch that was lost by UPS. Contacted etrailer and they sent another hitch within the hour. Great customer service. Hitch also works great and is exactly as advertised.



by:

Nice hitch carries the weight



by:

Fits my 2018 ram 2500 receiver perfectly. Works as intended and is very well built. Recommend for any heavy haul. Priced for the quality.



by:

Super heavy duty and solid , just an A+ product. Thanks again



by:

Very heavy duty, great product for the price



by:

It appears to be high a quality hitch and the instillation was easy.



by:

Super heavy duty in my opinion. Don't let the price scare you , I believe the quality is there and is represented in the price.
Bought for new gmc 3500. I know the receiver came with the adapter, but why sacrifice the strength and integrity.

  • Recommended Pintle Hooks for Curt Ball Mounts
    Hey Brent, I have no idea why there are different pintle hitch designs. I do know that Curt changed the pintle mount attachment that comes with the 20,000 lbs Curt Pintle Hook item # C45908. It now comes with the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - Channel Mount item # C45922 you were looking at. The item # C45920 pictured with the item # C45908 ball mount is only rated for 13,000 lbs. You can purchase both separately. I posted some pics below of both pintle hooks. They're labeled...

  • Parts Needed To Switch Trailer From Standard Ball Coupler To Pintle Hitch System
    Hello David, thanks for reaching out. It is possible to switch your trailer over to a lunette ring/pintle hitch system. Basically you will need to replace your current A-frame coupler with a channel coupler like part # LR76VR. This will allow you to install a lunette ring like part # DM09557-81. Then for the truck side you will just need a ball mount that accepts a lunette ring. The Curt Pintle Hook # C45908 would work great for that. It has an adjustable height channel and it can work...

  • Is there a Convert a Ball Hitch with Pintle Hook and 2 inch ball Capabilities Available?
    I checked with Curt who confirmed you can replace the 2 5/16 inch ball with a 2 inch ball # C48820 as needed with the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball - 2-1/2" Hitches - 20,000 lbs # C45908. If you prefer the Convert-A-Ball option like you mentioned, the Pintle Hook Combo with 3 Stainless Steel Balls - Bolt On - 25,000 lbs Item # PH1 is my recommendation. The hitch comes with 3 ball sizes: 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" and has a towing capacity for 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls between 3,500-10,000...

  • Can You Add a Pintle Hook To the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount for 2-1/2 Inch Hitches
    I do have options for you but there is not a pintle hook adapter for the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS20048B so the only way to obtain a pintle hook with the Tow & Stow feature is to purchase the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball part # BWTS10056 separately and then use the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve part # BWRHXA2182 with this. That said, if you purchase the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball part # C45908 and the Replacement 2" and 2-5/16" Dual-Sided Ball...

    Yes, if you wanted to use the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball # C45908 that you referenced in the rise position you certainly could. You'd flip the hook combo as well as the shank upside down and you'd be set.

    Great question. I have a solution for you: Blue Ox Trion Tow Bar - Car Mount - 2-1/2" Lunette Ring - 20,000 lbs # BX7520P. I recommend the blue ox if you need to handle 20,000 pounds.

  • Can Different Sized Hitch Balls be Used with Curt Pintle Hook # C45908
    Yes, the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball that comes included with the Curt Pintle Hook # C45908 can be swapped out with a different sized ball that features a compatible shank. For a 2 inch hitch ball to use with this assembly the Curt # C48820 will work perfectly. We also have the 1-7/8 inch # C48810 if you think you would ever have a need for a smaller hitch ball. I have attached a short video demonstration on the Pintle Hook that you can also take a look at.

  • Length From Hitch Pin Holes to Center of Ball on Curt Pintle Hook
    I went out to our warehouse to measure the Curt Pintle Hook # C45908 to get the measurements you asked for. I put it together and used digital calipers to ensure this measurement was as accurate as possible and found that it measured approximately 13.7" from the center of the furthest hitch pin hole to the middle of the ball and 12.7" from the center of the closest hitch pin hole to the center of the ball.

  • How to Remove Ball from Pintle Hitch
    It will depend on which pintle hitch you have. Some like the Curt # C45908 have removable trailer balls, some do not. If the trailer ball has a nut on the underside of the pintle, the ball should be removable. It it does not, the ball isn't removable. If the ball on your pintle is held on with a nut and lock washer, once you remove the nut you should be able to rap the end of the shank a few times with a dead blow hammer at which time the ball should come loose.

    Though I may have another option available for you, the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS30049B is not available with a pintle hitch as of yet. With that being said, there are actually no current options available for the 3" hitches being used, so you will need to use a reducer, like the # 58552, if you do not already have one. This will allow you to go one of two ways. First will be the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball - 2-1/2" Hitches # C45908. This is rated to 20,000 pounds and...

  • Is The Curt Pintle Hook # C45908 Compatible With An EZ Loader TI102BT 26-30ET Boat Trailer
    Hi Robert, The Curt Pintle Hook # C45908 would require that your EZ Loader boat trailer has a lunette ring for the coupler. From what I can see the 26-30ET should have a surge brake coupler that would couple to a standard ball mount. You'll need to check the coupler for the ball size (likely 2" or 2-5/16") and measure for the drop/rise needed for the trailer to ride level. I've attached a guide below to help you measure for the drop/rise needed but if you can't measure the trailer you...
