Features to know about

Smooths Out the Rough Stuff: ShockDrop Core Reduces Bounce and Rattle

Hauling heavy trailers over uneven roads can beat up your rig and wear you out. The Curt Rebellion XD uses a built-in ShockDrop polyurethane core that flexes to absorb bumps, vibrations, and chucking before they reach your truck or trailer. With each jolt softened, you get steadier handling and a more comfortable ride. It’s rated for trailers up to 20,000 lbs on the 2-5/16" ball and 10,000 lbs on the 2" ball, so you can count on serious strength with a smoother pull every time.

Keeps Your Trailers Level: Adjustable 8" Drop or 1" Rise

Swapping between trailers with different coupler heights doesn’t have to mean changing out gear. This mount’s adjustable platform gives you up to an 8" drop or a 1" rise to level your load. Simply pull the stainless steel pins, slide the platform to one of its eight positions, and lock it back in. A level trailer tracks straighter and helps your suspension and brakes work evenly across every tow.

Built for Heavy-Duty Work: Solid Carbon Steel With Corrosion Resistance

This is a serious piece of hardware built from solid cast steel for dependable towing power. The textured teridium finish resists rust while keeping a clean look over time, and the stainless steel hitch balls stand up to corrosion from road grime and salt. A built-in grease zerk makes it easy to keep the internal isolator core lubricated for quiet operation season after season.

Simplifies Setup and Stays Secure: Designed for Straightforward Use

The shank slides into any 2-1/2" receiver, giving you a solid fit right out of the box. The ball platform locks in with included pins and clips, while optional lock sets like #C78CR can secure both the hitch and adjustment pins for extra peace of mind. The layout keeps everything tight with minimal slop or noise as you tow, so your setup feels steady mile after mile.

Nice product. Very heavy duty. Etrailer people are nice to work with also

Great product and shipping was super fast considering the size and weight of this. Also price was good. It included free shipping. Others and direct from Curt was less competitive

I'm very satisfied with the hitch, the price and especially the exceptional service that your company and staff offer!! I was really impressed with the pictures who took the order, packaged it,and shipped it! Totally amazing exceptional experience! Super fast shipping! Keep up the pride in your company!!! Thanks again



by:

Love the hitch! it didn’t come with the pin… that was disappointing for the price.
The finish is not the best and and is already flaking and discolored…
Over all I’m glad that I have it…. I feel that the finish is on the low side compared to the Curt brand we all have know to love. I should probably see if I can send it back… maybe I just got a bad powder coat batch…

I haven’t used this yet but it is the best hitch I’ve ever had for sure

Product works great, makes for a ride while towing.



by:

Shank fits loose and rattles in the receiver, Very Heavy, Looks Great and adds an excellent step for getting into the bed of my truck, the ball height adjustment increments (about 1") was helpful for getting just the right drop. the 13" distance from center of ball to center of pin is perfect for allowing me to be able to put the tall gate down without it hitting the tongue jack on my trailers. But way to heavy -- Please tell Curt to make a downsized version, maybe they could limit the drop to max of 6" and do a weight limit of 15K -- TOO Heavy now, I need to hire Charlie Atlas just to move it around and the UPS driver struggled to get it to our door.....



by:

I think overall it is a good product but there are some annoyances. To begin with, this hitch is very heavy. The package weight was 75 pounds, but the main body is at least 50. I can manipulate it, but someone weaker may not be able to. Setting the ball is also a bit tricky with the stopper between the ball mount and the riser. I was able to use my body weight to get the stopper compressed and the pin in, but it was difficult. One suggestion might be to hitch the trailer with the pin out then use the tongue weight of the trailer to get the lower pin lined up. This will not be a good solution for being on the lowest position, but it works for all the others.

My other annoyance is it really messes up the back up camera and proximity sensor. Yes, I know I can disable the sensor, but the camera can't be moved which makes hitching alone a bit more annoying. I feel like there is a more elegant design so that there is not a bulge at the top of the riser, but I can't say for sure.



by:

This thing is a beast! Don't underestimate its size and weight, you aren't gonna hang this on a nail in your garage when not in use. I need the adjustment range, though it is more hitch capacity than I need currently. Knowing it will handle anything that might come up makes it worth it. Also, it's the first shock absorbing hitch I've owned and never knew what I was missing...Awesome.



by:

It is huge and impressive looking. I haven’t seen the benifits from the cush, but then again, we haven’t really had a heavy load on it yet.
One downside is that it sticks so far out from bumper, that it activates the proximity sensors on the bumper. If you remove the ball from hitch it goes away. But

It is possible to disengage the proximity sensor in the vehicle information menus however you would need to disengage it every time the engine is turned on.

Thank you etrailer for this great hitch! I did some research on this hitch and etrailer had the product in stock, and offered free shipping. I ordered the product on a Monday evening and received the product on a Wednesday afternoon. That is 1 day sooner than I was told. [online vendor] offered this product,but wanted $[XX] for shipping and wouldn't be shipped until 8/20/21. This hitch tows my 16 foot 14,000 pound dump trailer with zero problems, and as smooth as butter. Thank you etrailer!

This hitch is still performing very well.i have had zero issues with this hitch. Thanks again etrailer for offering such a great hitch!



by:

this mount is built like a tank and should work great for years



by:

It’s a beast! Installed it n pulled my dump trailer no more rattling jerking nosies etc, wish it was 20lbs lighter my only complaint,

The locks could be better I won’t be leaving the hitch installed, the locks are light weight n I believe a hammer will break them off, curt needs to use steel or stainless steel for the locks ( body of locks)

  • Which is Smoother the Curt Rebellion or the Shocker Hitch
    Hey Jeff, this is a great question. We actually had an affiliate of ours test basically all of the shock absorbing ball mount options out and what he found was that the Shocker part # SHK46VR and the Curt Rebellion both worked really well. He did find that he favored the Curt Rebellion like the part # C57UR which was a surprise but it was what he said was the best.

  • Can Curt Rebellion XD Be Flipped Over Into Rise Position
    Hey Dan! The Curt Rebellion XD Shock Absorbing Adjustable Ball Mount # C57UR has to remain in the drop configuration. You can achieve 1" of rise because of how the holes sit but that is the max. It will not function properly if you flip it over into a true rise position. How much of a rise do you need and what is the tongue weight of your setup?

  • What Does Curt Rebellion Adjustable Ball Mount Weigh
    Hey Greg, the Curt Rebellion XD Shock Absorbing Adjustable Ball Mount # C57UR that you referenced weighs 74 lbs. So it's still pretty heavy but definitely lighter than the Gen-Y you have. Aside from the weight how do you like the Gen-Y?

  • Which Curt Rebellion XD Ball Mount for 2022 Ram 2500
    Hey Todd, so the Curt Rebellion cushioned ball mounts do a great job cushioning the ride quality when towing but the part # C83WR is for a 2 inch hitch which you probably don't have on your 2022 Ram 2500 so instead you'd probably want the part # C57UR which is designed for the larger hitch size of 2-1/2 inch.

  • How Much Ground Clearance is Lost with Curt Rebellion XD Adjustable Ball Mount 8 inch Drop

  • Can The Curt XD Shock Absorbing Ball Mount Replace A Weight Distribution Hitch
    The Curt Rebellion XD Shock Absorbing Adjustable Ball Mount w/ 2" and 2-5/16" Balls - 20K # C57UR is going to help dampen the jerking, jarring, bumps, vibrations, chucking, and rattling you may be experiencing but isn't going to evenly distribute the tongue weight of your trailer.
