Features to know about

Keeps Heavy Trailers Level: 8" Drop for Proper Height Match

When you’re hauling big loads, keeping the trailer level makes a huge difference in how it tracks and brakes. This forged ball mount gives you an 8" drop so you can line up tall vehicles and heavy trailers without throwing off your balance. It’s built to handle 20,000 lbs gross towing weight and 2,000 lbs tongue weight, giving you the confidence to tow large campers, boats, or equipment trailers without stress.

Built to Handle Real Work: Solid Forged Steel Construction

Heavy-duty towing calls for strength you can trust. This mount’s solid, 1-piece forged steel construction eliminates weak points and flex while you’re under load. It’s the kind of dense, solid metal that feels ready for anything—no hollow shank or moving parts to worry about when you’re pulling serious weight.

Ready to Tow Right Away: Pre-Torqued 2-5/16" Hitch Ball

No need to fuss with mounting or torquing your own hitch ball. The included 2-5/16" chrome-plated ball comes pre-torqued to factory specifications so it’s ready to use right out of the box. Just slide the shank into your 3" hitch receiver, secure it with a pin and clip or hitch lock (sold separately), and you’re ready to hook up and roll.

Stays Looking Good: Corrosion-Resistant Finishes

Towing gear takes a beating from rain, grit, and road salt, but this setup is built to last through it all. The ball mount’s carbide black powder coat finish resists rust, chipping, and UV damage, while the hitch ball’s chrome plating adds another layer of corrosion protection. It keeps its clean look and solid performance season after season.

Video Transcript for Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount for 3" Hitch Spec Review

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount. This is going to slide into your three-inch by three-inch trailer hitch receiver on your vehicle. It's then going to provide this two and 5/16 inch diameter hitch ball to connect to your trailers coupler. This hitch ball does come pre-installed and tucked to the factory specifications. So, it is gonna be a nice, solid connection for you there.

And then this is going to provide an eight-inch drop to fit your application. So if your coupler sits about eight inches lower than your hitch receiver, this is going to make sure that your trailer sits nice and level as you're towing it. This is a solid one-piece forged steel construction. So it's going to give us a 20,000 pound gross towing weight, which is of course the weight of the trailer plus the load included and a tongue weight or down pressure on our hitch ball of 2000 pounds. Our ball mount here, does have this corrosion resistant carbide black powder coat finish.

So it's gonna resist corrosion very well for us. Our ball does have a corrosion resistant chrome plating. So, again it's also going to be a very long lasting option for us. This does come with a limited lifetime warranty for the ball mount itself, the ball not included. This does not include a pin and clip that will hold this into your hitch.

You probably already have one for your hitch, but if not, it's just a standard five eighths inch diameter hole here. So it'll use your standard five eighths inch pin and clip. We've got lots of options available here at etrailer.com. We also have locking pins that will add a little extra security to make sure that no one's able to take off with your ball mount if you're not around. So if you do have a three inch hitch and you're needing to connect to a trailer that sits about, the coupler sits about eight inches lower than your hitch, this is gonna be a nice solid way for you to get that connected.

We do have other options available here at etrailer.com that will still give you that eight inch drop but they have stacked receiver tubes. And so it'll give you more adjustments. So if you are gonna be hauling multiple trailers and you want to be able to quickly adjust from one height setting to another, I would recommend those options. This is gonna be a pretty static feature for you. But if you're only hauling the one trailer, towing the one trailer, this will do a great job for you, making sure that you have a nice solid connection there. So that concludes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

There's a lot of fancy ball mounts out there. I like the tried and true "huge chunk of steel" option. Those fancy ball mounts come with a lot of failure points as well. This is a massive piece of metal, with a ball and a pin. That's it. People have been towing this way forever. Why risk being fancy and watching your trailer pass you on the freeway? Find the drop you need, get a big hitch like this and call it a day. These hitches are cheaper and stronger than nearly anything out there.

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?

by:
Heavy duty (very heavy)seems to be a better stable towing hitch compared to the adjustable hitches .Great quality ,etrailer had fast gree shipping
by:
The ball mount is great. Aligns the truck and trailer just right so I can avoid using my clunky and heavy adjustable ball mount.
The pin is ok. Seems a little thin but I reckon it’s solid. The clip though is problematic. Real hard to press in. Scraped my knuckles a couple of times. It’s the angle and or the length of the wire where it begins to assemble. Too short or maybe wrong angle. Hope you understand what im saying.
Thanks
by:
1st: package was in great shape
2nd: idems were delivered quickly
3rd: hitch and lock pin are well made heavy duty,sold.
5th :fits the truck and trailer perfectly and looks great!
by:
Curt products are great. Built like a brick s*** house. I won’t even consider any other brand. I’ve used them for decades and have zero issues with them. Got a new truck that has a 2 1/2 hitch so I had to get a bigger set.
by:
Outstanding chunk of forged steel. I like this because I just have trust issues with a welded hitchbar towing a 12k trailer and putting 50k+ miles/year on it. LOVE the fact that it comes with the ball already installed and torqued to spec. Take it out of the box, lock it onto the truck, and hit the road!

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.

@John Hey John, really appreciate you coming back with the one year update. That kind of long term feedback is super helpful, especially for folks towing as much as you are. It’s great to hear this mount has held up with minimal maintenance and is still giving you that same confidence on the road. A quick bit of grease now and then is about all these really need, so it sounds like it’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to. Out of curiosity, are you still towing that same 12k trailer setup or have you changed things up at all since last year?
by:
Hitch ball mount looks good and fits in the tube. There is a little wiggle in the tube but doesn’t seem to be enough to cause trouble. I need to invert the mount to get a 1/2” rise but the nut is 7/8” flat to flat. I don’t have a socket big enough to fit that. So I’m either going to have to buy or borrow one.
by:
Great customer service! I called for advice on choosing the correct size and weight rating for my specific application. William B was very helpful and within minutes I was able to purchase everything I needed. The whole process was easy and quick.
by:
The hitch showed up on time and is heavy duty as expected.
by:
Exactly as advertised! After I ordered the wrong one, my bad, Will at etrailer made the return process simple and had the correct one shipped same day. We always use etrailer, fantastic customer service.
by:
Love this Curt ball mount. Heavy duty, rugged. One piece with no welding.
There is no chance of a breakage at weld since there is no welding on this piece. Well above my load weight. Never haul a heavier load than the limit shown on the ball mount sticker.
by:
Definitely heavy duty!
by:
Excellent product. Great Customer Service.
by:
Arrived sooner than expected. A very sturdy hitch with pin. I especially appreciate having the rounded edges where we frequently walk at the back of the SUV. 4" drop is correct to match my truck and trailer hitch height on my Subaru Ascent.

Still working great

by:
As with all Curt products I’ve used, top notch!
by:
Heavy duty and ball mounted saves me the hassle. The new F350’s are taller and had to make adjustments for the cargo trailer and 5th wheel. I can count on etrailer to have what I need.

Works fine. Followed how to measure the to even out the trailer and all is good. It’s a beast!

by:
perfect. Heavy duty at a great price
by:
I thought Curt was an american company. I'm a little disappointed that this says made in china. I thought I was buying a fifteen thousand pound rated piece, but the sticker on it says seventeen thousand pounds. I'm okay with the higher rating as long as it's honest. Tube fits a little sloppy, and will probably rattle when unloaded, but it'll work.
by:
Heavy Duty
by:
We have been extremely satisfied with the purchase of this trailer hitch mount. We have used it for about a year towing a dump trailer, almost every day, and we haven't had any issues with it.
by:
Very nice and very heavy duty. Well made.
by:
This heavy duty trailer 8” drophitch with locking pin is amazing. A solid steel construction with no welds is very well made. This hitch fits into my 2 1/2” 10,000# rated receiver and won’t have any problem pulling my car trailer loaded with a Jeep and other items.
by:
My hitch arrived on time as scheduled from half way across the country. The item was packaged well and it didn’t have one scratch on it when it arrived. Good job!
by:
Quick delivery, beautifully packaged in custom foam insert that I’ll probably keep to store it. Great solid metal casting and almost artistic in a super-industrial way. I can’t imagine any trailer is going to have the slightest effect on this massive beast.
