Uneven trailer height can make towing feel unstable. This fixed mount gives a full 6" drop from the top of the hitch opening, helping you keep large trailers like campers, boats, or equipment haulers level and steady. With everything set at the right height, your load tracks straighter and brakes more evenly for a smoother tow.
If you regularly move heavy loads, you’ll want a mount that can take serious pressure. This one’s rated for 15,000 lbs gross towing weight and 1,500 lbs tongue weight. It’s solid, one-piece forged steel—no welds or joints to flex under load—so it stays rigid even with double-axle or large utility trailers. It’s made to handle heavy-duty towing without drama.
No need to mess with torque wrenches or second-guess your setup. The included 2-5/16" chrome-plated ball comes factory-torqued to spec, so it’s ready to go the moment you slide it into your 2" x 2" receiver. Pin and clip or hitch lock are sold separately, letting you choose your preferred securing method while still getting a mount that’s ready for work right out of the package.
Towing gear takes a beating from road grime and weather, but this mount fights back with a carbide black powder coat on the shank and a corrosion-resistant chrome plating on the ball. Those finishes help prevent rust and chipping so your setup keeps looking clean and performing dependably through every season.
Sometimes simpler is better. The fixed ball mount design means fewer moving parts—nothing to adjust, loosen, or rattle over time. Once it’s pinned in place, it stays steady through every haul. It’s a straightforward solution built for folks who just want a solid connection that works every time they hook up their trailer.

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Curt heavy-duty forged ball mount for a 2-inch hitch with a 2 5/16 ball and a 6-inch drop. Now the glory of this ball mount here is it does come with the ball and the ball's actually gonna be pre-torqued onto there. And that's something that people don't really consider until they have to torque down their ball because you need a torque wrench that's gonna have that torque setting that's gonna go high enough and also a socket that can fit on here. And a lot of times you're trying to use a wrench on top and torque this down, so it can be a little bit tricky to make sure that they're properly torqued. So having this already torqued down is one less step that you'll have to do. Now, this is a 6-inch drop.
Now you do have the availability for a 5-inch rise, which is gonna open it up to the different applications that you can use this for. You are gonna have to actually get that ball re-torqued and flip it around. But to have that ability available is really nice. Speaking of applications, this is pretty heavy duty, as the name implies. The ball, as well as the ball mount, are rated for 15,000 pounds with a tongue weight rating of 1500.
So it's pretty heavy duty. You just need to make sure that your truck can actually handle that weight as well as the hitch on the vehicle. Now the ball mount is solid steel construction and the ball is a steel construction as well with a chrome finish. Now this black powder coat carbide finish is matte and it looks really sharp and it's gonna be looking sharp for a long time as it's gonna resist corrosion and rust. Now, the pin and clip is not included with the ball mount but we do have plenty of options here available at etrailer including locking ones, and that way you can actually lock this in place and know that no one's gonna walk away with it in their hands.
Now we're lowering our coupler on our trailer, which is the 2 5/16, to our ball mount right here. Now, if you do have different trailers that have a different coupler size, you can actually get a different ball to go on this same ball mount. You're just gonna wanna make sure that it has that same inch and a quarter hole diameter and you should be able to swap those out and then re-torque them down, you'll be ready to go. So now with our trailer loaded up and our safety chains hooked up as well as our electrical, we're ready to tow. And that was a look at the Curt heavy-duty forged ball mount for a 2-inch hitch with a 2 5/16 ball and a 6-inch drop..

I love that, “huge chunk of steel” is about as honest as it gets. There’s definitely something to be said for keeping it simple. No moving parts, no extra pieces to worry about, just solid steel doing its job mile after mile. Hard to beat that kind of reliability when you’re towing. Sounds like you’ve got a setup you trust, which is really what matters most. What are you usually hauling with it?

VERY well, unlike everything else involved with trailering, this product has required little-to-no maintenance other than a little grease every now and then.
