A level trailer means no sway, smoother braking, and even tire wear. This Curt ball mount gives you both a 3/4" rise and a 2" drop so your setup stays balanced no matter the trailer. Whether you’re hauling a small utility trailer or a boat, it keeps everything lined up for steady, predictable towing.
For everyday towing jobs, you need gear that can handle the load without a second thought. This mount’s rated for 7,500 lbs gross towing weight and 750 lbs tongue weight—plenty of strength for most campers, boats, or equipment trailers. The sturdy steel construction and CNC-machined welds hold up under strain so your connection stays secure mile after mile.
Towing gear takes a beating from rain, salt, and road debris. The black gloss powder coat on this mount resists corrosion and keeps rust at bay season after season. It’s not just tough—it keeps your setup looking clean and solid even after long hauls or rough conditions.
No moving parts or adjustments to fuss with—just a dependable fixed design that slides into your 2" hitch receiver. The 10-1/4" shank length gives plenty of clearance for easy coupling, and the 1" ball hole fits standard hitch balls (sold separately). Once pinned with a 5/8" hitch pin or lock, you’re ready to tow without any drama.

I was throughly pleased with etrailers quick response and fast shipping.The ball mount I ordered was packaged well,and was good quality.I think I have found a good source for my towing-trailer needs.I'll admit there are not too many moving parts on a ball mount,but they got the job done and treated me right.
Big thank you too everybody at etrailer,

Well made heavy duty trailer hitch ball mount just what I needed
so the tailgate would clear the jack stand
Received quickly. Happy with unit. The extra length is helpful for backing the trailer into tight areas by keeping the trailer a little further from the truck bumper.
Be aware that etrailer's guidelines for review prevent me from explaining my rating. I could give you the good and the bad, but not if I follow the company's guidelines which are slanted to control what potential customers can learn about the company's service.
I have a Toyota Tacoma pulling an A-Liner Expedition. Used a Ball and Ball mount from Wal-Mart last year. I upgraded to this and heavier rated Ball, and we noticed an immediate difference.
E-Trailer staff, keep doing what you are doing. Your company and products have just earned a loyal customer. Thank You!!
Having searched and not finding what I wanted or perhaps not really knowing what I wanted, I called and talked to Cathy. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. She checked and guided me to a longer shank which will give me a longer turning radius, as the tongue on my trailer is short and is a problem. The unit is a solid piece of equipment. I had a clevis pin from a 1 1/4" shank and thought I would use that and not order another and she advised me that the pin for a 2" shaft is larger and I needed a new one. She was so good and accommodating I even asked for her boss to commend her for her good work and pleasant personality. Jlw
Top-notch product. Just completed a 1400 mile trip pulling a trailer with my Chevy Equinox and my etrailer hitch: issue free! That's the best
Fit my application perfectly - I wanted more space between the tow vehicle and trailer jack so that I could open my tailgate with the trailer attached. Gave me just enough clearance. Shipping was fast, service was great - thanks etrailers!!
This is the 10th order I have made from etrailer.com, most of them with multiple items. I cannot say enough about what great experiences I have had with etrailer.com. The website is incredibly helpful, the search tools are great, and the specs, videos and other information are very helpful. The items always ship right away, and arrive well packaged and promptly - and for me they have to cross the border to Canada. I recommend this site to my friends with trailers and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great experience - and who doesn’t!
Longer stinger let me drop the tailgate on my Tacoma with trailer attached. Replaced a similar but shorter Curt hitch and both are very substantial and well made for the weight of my trailer.
surprised as part of the package sold the pin to secure the 2" ball mount was not included.
I bought this ball mount to replace a shorter unit (8.5"-9") in order for the tailgate to clear the jack on one of my trailers when down. The first one that was delivered had a lot of damage to the powder coat finish due to rough shipping (UPS!). etrailer was very quick to send another out that arrived unscathed. Thanks again!
I have to back up a hill and around a corner with arthritis in my neck to park my boat. I installed a front trailer hitch on my suv and needed this longer shaft Ball Mount to keep the ball far enough away from my license plate and front bumber that I won't damage my vehicle. The unit fits the bill to a "T" and has already gotten compliments from others for its quality and stability. I look forward to fishing season so I can use it.
I wanted a longer hitch sleeve to prevent back the trailer winch into the tailgate of my pickup and this works perfectly for that purpose. Price was great too! Thank you etrailer!
I purchased this unit to extend the trailer jack handle just far enough that I could open the tailgate on my truck with the trailer attached. It worked perfect. I tow a pop-up camper with 2006 Toyota Tacoma. Pricing was good and delivery was quick from etrailer. At first I tried to buy locally from auto parts store or camper store, but neither had in stock anything the right dimensions. The unit from etrailer is made in the USA, fit just right, and was better quality than what I saw locally.
It looks very sturdy. The finish is gre at
Works great - it allows me to fully open my truck tailgate! Highly recommended.
Just did the job!
I didn’t receive this item with my pack age

The ball mount on your order is being shipped directly from Curt. We were out of stock so shipping it directly from Curt will get it to you faster.
I have a custom made tow guard. The ball mount I have was too short to allow me to attach the tow guard to my new truck. I searched the web and found just what I needed at etrailer.com. It's the only site I found that carried the size I needed. The product fits my needs perfectly. I can now protect my boat from rocks and other road debris when towing. Thank you etrailer.com.
Very heavy duty and well made, works great!
Didn't realize it didn't have the hitch pin and had to stop and get one locally.
In with the hitches you need to show the ball mount, hitch pin and hitch ball as optional accessories or at least mention in the description these MUST be ordered separately instead of having to dig for them or realize, like I did, all the items I needed weren't there in the middle of the install.
With good information from the website it was easy to order a Curt 2"
Trailer Hitch, the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit w/ 4-Pole Connector and Circuit Tester - 119178KIT, Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches (3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 10-1/4" Long - 7,500 lbs - D-4), Curt Pin and Clip Hitch Receiver - C21500, Rubber Tube Cover for 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers - I-728,Review, and 2" hitch ball 40038. Parts were delivered earlier than the initial estimate. Self installation (on a sloped drive way) took just under 2 hour. The fit of parts was very good, instructions and on-line video's were very helpful. My Kia did not have the wire plug in option, but the splice connections in the wire kit were easy to install. Most of the parts are hidden from view when the ball mount is not used.
I purchased this Curt Ball mount 10-1/4" because I also bought ball hitch mounted mud flaps and my existing hitch was too short.This hitch was maybe a little too long, but it should work.I hope this combination will protect my horse trailer from my nasty gravel roads!

Well, a year has gone by and I can say the ball mount hitch has worked as expected. It is longer than I needed and has caused me to rethink how to back and maneuver my horse trailer but I am satisfied with the product. Its a good value.
The extended length hitch came just as "hoped." Thank you. But the example on the web page needs to show a measured distance from the middle of the ball to the pin. I understand this is how hitches are measured. I had to guess. My standard hitch is 8" but I needed 10" for clearance. Luckily I guess correctly.
This ball mount is long enough to extend past my Wranglers spare tire carrier.

There are some ball mounts that do include the hitch pin and the ball with them, like kit # C45036. If you were not needing a ball and wanted to get a kit with just the pin and clip included with the ball mount, we do have part # 2923.
