Features to know about
Keeps Your Trailer Level: 5/8" Rise or 1-1/4" Drop
Getting the trailer height right is one of those small details that makes towing go smoothly. This Curt Class I Drawbar gives you both a 5/8" rise and a 1-1/4" drop, so you can fine-tune your setup for a level, stable tow. It’s a straightforward way to keep your trailer tracking true and your gear riding evenly behind you.
Built for Everyday Towing: 2,000 lbs Gross Towing Weight
Not every haul calls for a heavy-duty setup, but you still need reliable strength. This fixed ball mount is rated for 2,000 lbs gross towing weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, which covers small utility trailers, light cargo haulers, and similar loads. The solid steel shank keeps things steady mile after mile.
Stays Looking Good: Corrosion-Resistant Black Gloss Finish
Road grime, rain, and storage can take a toll on towing gear. The black gloss powder coat on this mount resists rust and corrosion, keeping the steel protected long-term. It’s built to handle the elements while still looking sharp on the back of your vehicle.
Simple and Solid: Fixed Design That Just Works
Sometimes the best gear is the kind you don’t have to fuss with. This fixed ball mount fits 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" hitch receivers and measures 6-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. There are no moving parts or adjustments to mess with—just slide it in, secure it with your hitch pin or lock (sold separately), add your preferred ball, and you’re set to tow.

Great price! Amazingly fast service! The drawbar was a very tight fit in the hitch until I scraped off some of the paint at the end; then it was perfect.

Great tow tow bar for light duty towing. Welds look good and I don't expect any quality issues. Fits a 1 1/4" receiver perfectly.

Didn't realize I had bought a class 1 hitch for my Suzuki SX4 until I tried to purchase a drawbar for the receiver and it wouldn't fit!
So I called etrailer and Katie took my call. Katie knew what the problem was right away and helped me to get the draw-bar and hitch ball I needed. Super nice young lady and very knowledgeable about my choices. I bought from etrailer because I had purchased from them before. Good pricing and excellent customer service and the part was perfect for my needs.

Not really the right length for my car. The ball is very close to the rear bumper

I see that this ball mount is measured to be 6.75 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the enter of the ball hole. In order to determine if this ball mount is the right fit for you, you will need to make sure that there will be enough clearance from the end of the receiver to the bumper of your vehicle. We recommend contacting us with this information, so that we can assist you in getting the correct ball mount for your application.

It is a bar of steel and works like one. It pulls my camp trailer behind my mototrcycle. It does what it is supposed to. Finish is very good and seems like it should hold up well.

I wrote 2 days ago and haen't heardafom anyone so I guess you only want reviews-. Here is what I wrote
Steve, the class 1 hitch doesn’t fit the trailer hitch either. I don’t understand the continuing problem with all of the Curt hitches we have tried including the last draw hitch you selected and shipped, which I now need to return after H. Idalia passes, I want to point out that I initiially ordered somewhere on line a Maxxhaul adapter so I could move my 2” trailer until I sell it and it fit perfectly. I NEVER expected to have so much trouble getting a ball hitch to fit the 1.25 hitch recommended by etrailer for my car. Aren’t you glad I am writing an email rather than make star comments? I know that someone writes these things for ‘you’ and you don’t necessarily do the hands on so please direct this problem to someone who is supposed to make these product directives and solve this $[XX] attractive trailer hitch problem so I can haul my lawnmower in for repairs when needed on my utility trailer designed for doing so. Doesn’t Drawtite have a ball hitch for level hauling a trailer rather than Curt which is too thick. The powers that be need to rethink OD (outside diameters) vs ID (inside diameters) in their trailer connectors, screw the rattling! PS don’t forget arrangements for the return of the recommended draw hitch.

I am so sorry if it felt like you dropped off our radar. I was able to look into this a little closer and it seems like whoever was helping on the phone shopped for a different YMM than what you needed. I will make sure our customer service team reaches back out to you about this.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Class I to Class III Trailer Hitch Adapter for Bike Rack and Towing on 2018 Subaru OutbackThere are two adapters we carry that will fit a Class I hitch and expand to a 2 inch hitch receiver, but they will reduce the tongue weight of your hitch by 50%. Most Class 1 trailer hitches have a max tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs, so reducing that to 100 lbs and then adding the weight of your rack and bikes you would need to be under 100 lbs. This may work fine for a 2 bike rack with normal bikes, but you wouldn't use the adapter for towing the U-Haul 4x8 trailer. The adapters...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch to Fit 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8Because of the center dual exhaust on the 2008 Grand Cherokee SRT-8, the only trailer hitch we offer is the Curt, part # C11103. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. For a ball mount I recommend a mount like part # C45018. This is a Class l drawbar and it has a 5/8 inch rise or 1-1/4 inch drop. For a pin and clip you can use part # F-4. If you need a 2 inch hitch ball I recommend part # C40018 and for 1-7/8 I recommend part # C40001. For trailer wiring...
view full answer... - Ball Mount Option for 1-1/4 inch Hitch that Needs 2 inch DropHey Dukane, the closest ball mount we have to what you mentioned wanting is the Curt part # C45018 which can do a drop of 1-1/4 inches. Unfortunately there isn't every single drop dimension available so best option is to go with one that is as close as possible that's maybe a little higher so that once there's some weight on the hitch it will sit level which the option I mentioned would do well.
view full answer... - Availability of Ball Mount for a 2011 Nissan Rogue with a Factory Installed Towing PackageThe factory towing package on a 2011 Nissan Rogue uses a Class I 1-1/4 inch hitch. A Class I hitch will need to use the recommended ball mount for that particular hitch. All Class I trailer hitches are tested and rated with the specific ball mount for that hitch. Using a ball mount that is not recommended by the manufacturer will void the warranty. The recommended ball mount will have the correct rise or drop that is needed for towing with your factory hitch. If you know the rise or...

It is the Draw-Tite Class II Ball Mount, # 36051. I went to the warehouse and measured the distance from the weld to the center of the hitch pin hole and it measured 2-3/4 inches. You will want to measure the ball mount you have and see if this ball mount will work on your VW factory hitch. If the Draw-Tite ball mount will not work, then the VW factory ball mount might be the only ball mount to fit the VW...
view full answer... - What Hitch Pin and Hitch Ball for Use with the Curt 1-1/4-Inch Class I Ball Mount, Part # C45018The Curt Class I Ball Mount, part # C45018, is made for use with 1-1/4-inch hitch receivers and is rated for up to 200-lbs tongue weight (TW) and a gross towing weight (GTW) of 2000 lbs. This ball mount does not include a hitch ball or a hitch pin/clip. You can use hitch pin and clip # F-4. For a hitch ball you can use a medium-shank type, either Curt # A-80 if you need a 1-7/8 diameter ball, or # A-82 if your trailer requires a 2-inch ball.
