Video Transcript for Ultimate Overview of the 2" Hitch Ball

Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff from etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Curt two inch chrome hitch ball. With a 10,000 pound weight, gross towing weight capacity. Now this hitch ball provides the connection point for your trailer's coupler. This one you can see is a nice durable corrosion resistant chrome finish.

A few dimensions on this. The diameter and the ball is two inches. The weight capacity, which will be stamped on the top is 10,000 pounds. Now I do want to give you a few critical dimensions. So when you go to purchase a hitch ball, you do want to make sure it'll fit your ball mount.

So the one of them is the length of the shank, which is this portion here. So we're gonna measure from the bottom to the end of the shank. So the length on this one is going to be right at two and five eights inches long.The other critical measurement is the diameter to make sure it'll fit into the ball hole of your ball mount. So on this one is gonna be right at one and a quarter inches. So again, this is designed to fit a ball mount with a one and a quarter inch ball hole and the thickness of the ball mount needs to be either a half inch up to one inch thick and this will fit on there correctly.

Now, if you notice it does include the lock washer and the nut. So when you do go to install this, you'll drop this through the hole in your ball mount. Put your lock washer on, take your nut, go ahead and start it. And then tighten it down to the torque specs that are recommended. Now, the height on this ball mount once it's installed from the bottom here to the very top, it's gonna be right at two and three quarter inches from the bottom of the flange to the top of the ball.

And when you do install this, it will require a socket size of one and seven eighths inches to fit this nut. But that should do it for the review on the Curt two inch chrome hitch ball with the 10,000 pound gross towing weight capacity.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for 2022 Keystone Springdale Mini 1750RD
    Hey Michelle! There are definitely a lot of different weight distribution hitch (WDH) options out there. The most important thing is to make sure it is properly rated for the tongue weight of your setup. Looking at the specs for the 2022 Keystone Springdale Mini 1750RD it has a dry (unloaded) tongue weight of 520 lbs and a GVWR of 4,400 lbs. Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of the loaded trailer weight so at the high end, fully loaded, you're going to be around 660 lbs. For occasional,...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Camping Trailer
    The most important thing to know when selecting a weight distribution system is your total tongue weight, which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2016 Ram 1500. Your total tongue weight needs to be in the middle of the weight distribution system's tongue weight capacity in order for the system to work effectively. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET has a tongue weight capacity between 200 lbs...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 2018 Keystone Summerland 1750RD
    The most important thing to consider when picking out a weight distribution system is the total tongue weight of your setup. This number includes the loaded tongue weight of the trailer (as if it's ready for a trip) along with any added cargo weight you might have loaded behind the rear axle of your F-250. Ideally this number falls comfortably within the operating range of the system you choose. Based on my research your 2018 Keystone Summerland 1750RD Trailer does indeed have an empty...

  • Recommended Brake Controller and Weight Distribution for 2019 Honda Pilot Towing 2026 Geo Pro 17LE
    Hey Cody! The brake controller I recommend for your setup is the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED74CR. The Liberty is simple, reliable, and has a really clean look once installed. The main unit is hidden so the only thing you see is the control knob in the dash. The knob acts as the override and controls the brake power. This comes with a custom wiring harness to plug into your 2019 Pilot factory wiring. The right weight distribution hitch is based on the tongue weight of...

  • Determining If Blue Ox TrackPro BLU36FR Will Work On Trailer With GVWR of 4995lbs
    To confirm which weight distribution hitch will work to tow your trailer with a GVWR of 4995lbs you will need to measure its tongue weight, as the tongue weight rating is usually with the trailer unloaded and will not be accurate. The easiest way to get an accurate tongue weight measurement is with a tongue weight scale like the # e99044, but there are other methods that are outlined in the included help article. Since your trailers GVWR is 4995lbs and tongue weight is typically 10-15%...

  • Weight of Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion # FA92-00-0600
    Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW Item # FA92-00-0600 weighs approximately 75 pounds when you add a ball such as # A-90 for a 2 inch or # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch. Keep in mind that the weight of the weight distribution you use is not factored in to the total tongue weight. To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the...

  • Weight Distribution w/Sway Control Recommendation for 28ft Airstream Towed by Lifted F-250
    First thing we need to do is pick out the correct rated weight distribution system for your 28 foot Airstream. I looked up specs on what you have and the total weight could be 7,600 lbs so you'd most likely have a tongue weight range of around 700-1,000 lbs which the Blue Ox SwayPro part # BXW1000 you mentioned would work well with most likely but it would not be my first choice. Instead I'd recommend the Strait Line kit part # RP66074 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 6,000 lb Camper Trailer
    You'd be fine to have a weight distribution installed on your trailer as you travel on the hill you described. If anything it might help prevent the trailer from leaning excessively. For a 6,000 lb trailer you'd be looking at a tongue weight most likely of 600 to 900 lbs so the weight distribution with sway control that I would recommend is the Strait Line part # RP66084 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs and features only sway control designed to fight sway before it starts. For...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a Rockwood Mini Lite 23.7 Trailer
    Your best option is going to be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66084 as it has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs which would be perfect for your tongue weight of 725 lbs. The sway control on this system is the only style on the market that actively works to prevent sway before it starts. The other very popular option is the Equalizer WD system part # EQ37101ET which would also work great with 725 lbs of tongue weight but instead uses 4 point of friction for sway control. Some people...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for R-Pod Trailer
    For your R-pod travel trailer, the biggest issue you will face is sway , so I recommend he Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control - Round Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # RP66086 which is rated for total tongue weight between 200 and 600 lbs. Total tongue weight includes not only the loaded trailer tongue weight, but also any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2015 Ford Escape. The hot rolled spring bars along with the dual cams make this the only system that actively...

  • Do You Have a 2" Ball for My Husky Weight Distribution System to Swap out My 2 5/16" Ball?
    Hello Matt, Thanks so much for the picture. We most definitely have a 2" ball that you can swap it out with. From what I see the Husky Weight Distribution uses a 1 1/4" shank (I included an image so you can compare it to the ball you have on there), you will want one of the following (both are rated for 10K): For Chrome: 2" Hitch Ball # A-90 For Stainless Steal (great for rust and corrosion): 2" Hitch Ball # C69FR If you do not have a socket already to remove the ball and install the...

  • Is a Weight Distribution System Required for Towing a 3,000 lb Trailer
    Any time you are towing a trailer that has a fully loaded weigh that is over 50 percent of the vehicle's gross weight, a weight distribution system is recommended. If your vehicle weighs less than 6,000 lbs, a weight distribution system and trailer brakes should be used when towing a 3,000 lb trailer. Assuming that the 3000 lb figure you mentioned represents the fully loaded and ready to tow weight of the trailer, the tongue weight will be between 300-450 lbs, plus the weight of any cargo...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Pole Tongue Trailer that Weighs 5,400 lbs
    The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. A system like this can be used with...

  • Hitch, Wiring, Brake Controller, Camera, and Weight Distribution for 2015 BMW X5
    First thing you need to tow a trailer with your 2015 BWM X5 is a trailer hitch like the Curt # 13077 which is mostly hidden and had more than enough capacity for your trailer. Next for trailer wiring you'd want the part # 119250KIT to provide the 4-way lighting functions. To convert to a 7-way and install a brake controller you'd then want the part # ETBC7 with a brake controller like our Brake EVN # TK63VR which is proportional, reliable, and also priced well.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For 2021 Ford Explorer ST Towing 2020 Keystone Passport 239ML
    Since your 2021 Ford Explorer ST has a 560lb tongue weight rating I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW # FA92-00-0800 which works with tongue weights between 400-800lbs. The Fastway systems are very high quality for the cost, and the built in two point sway control does a great job of keeping your trailer going straight down the highway. The # FA92-00-0800 does not include a hitch ball so you will also need 2" hitch...

  • Recommended Sway Control for a 2019 Ram 1500 w/ Air Ride Pulling a Pop-Up Trailer
    Hey Chip! If you're dealing with that much sway, I would recommend a weight distribution system not one of the SumoSpring systems. I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA92-00-0450. This system is built for smaller trailers like yours and works with tongue weights up to 450 lbs. With the weight of your trailer and gear combined this would definitely get that sway under control. Since you already have factory air ride and it's not helping your sway...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System and Extended Drop Shank for a 18,000 lbs Trailer
    Hey Bob, thanks for the information! For a weight distribution system that fits an 18,000 lbs trailer, you'll want the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BXW2000. This system works with tongue weights from 1,500 - 2,000 lbs so it'll give you some range when loading up your trailer. This system comes with a 2-5/16" hitch ball. You'll need item # A-90 if you want to swap in a 2". Please note you'll need to have space on your trailer's tongue 27" - 29" back from hitch...

  • Recommended Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System for 11000 lb Enclosed Traiiler
    You'll want to choose a weight distribution system that's properly rated for the ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer, which includes the weight of anything stowed in the bed of the truck behind the rear axle. The linked article shows a couple of pretty simple ways to determine this, but the etrailer Tongue Weight/Payload Scale, part # e99044 would be the quickest and easiest way. The Fastway e2 system you'd looked at, part # FA94-00-1033 is rated for trailers with a fully loaded...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 3,500 lbs Trailer
    Tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's total weight so two 3,500 lbs trailers would have a tongue weight range of 350 lbs to 525 lbs. With this in mind, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion item # FA92-00-0600. The Fastway item # FA92-00-0600 has built in sway control that will keep your trailer in line with your van when you are going down the highway and get passed by a semi or make a sudden move. It works with trailers...

  • Ball Mount For 2002 Toyota Sienna With Curt Hitch C13511 For Towing U-Haul Trailer
    I can help you out with the right ball mount and hitch ball for your 2002 Toyota Sienna so you can tow a U-Haul trailer with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13511. When we installed this hitch on a 2002 Sienna, we found that the distance from the ground to the top of the hitch receiver was 13-1/2 inches; since the bottom of the U-haul coupler is going to be 18-1/2 inches from the ground (that is what they mean when they say "optimal ball height" as that is how far off the ground the...

  • Installation Instructions for the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW1000
    Since the instructions for the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW1000 state that any air-ride shock absorbers, air springs, or automatic leveling systems need to be disabled or deflated to the manufacturer's minimum recommended pressure prior to installing the system, you will need to leave it in that state while using the Blue Ox system. If you were to inflate them after installing the WD system then they would be working against each other. If you would rather retain the use of...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For A 2013 Jayco Jay Flight Swift SLX 185RB
    You can raise the height of the trailer if you have double-eye leaf springs in the underslung position. This is done by using an over-under conversion kit like # K71-384-00 (for 2-3/8" axles) or # K71-385-00 (for 3" axles) to move the leaf springs above the axle, increasing the height by the diameter of the axle. These kits include everything you need, including spring seats, nuts, U-bolts, and tie plates. This isn't necessary though since you can just use shank with a larger drop to keep...

  • Reese Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 1,050 lbs of Tongue Weight
    If your loaded tongue weight is 1,050 lbs then the Reese Weight Distribution system part # RP66542 would work well as it has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs which would work well for you. The only setup that would be better would be the Strait Line part # RP66084 as it has the same tongue weight range but has a sway control system that stops sway before it starts. For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.

  • How to Choose Weight Distribution Hitch
    Hi Rick; I can definitely help you choose a weight distribution hitch for your setup. To find the right WDH you need to know the tongue weight of your loaded setup. The best way to find it is to use a tongue weight scale like the # e99044. You can also use one of the methods outlined in the article below. If you are unable to measure you can also take a guess based on the listed specs from the trailer. The most useful information is the unloaded (dry) tongue weight and trailer weight...
