etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs
Haven’t used it yet, but looks good. I’m not sure what height offset I need, so this kit gives me several options, plus two ball sizes. Really good value.
I installed the draw tite hitch onto my brand new 2018 Subaru outback. I'm 68 years old, not as strong as I was, but proud to say I did the job all by myself in about 4 hours. Here are some tips you may find useful. Watch the video-it’s pretty good. I had difficulty getting the exhaust system down and worried about getting it up again from the moment I got it down...read on-help will follow. I bought a stepup drill bit which worked great for drilling the hole in the chasis. I clamped the hitch onto a floor jack, then rolled it and raised it into position. Used metal shears to easily cut out the heat shield as per the video. Your inclination will be the screw the fishing tool provided all the way up the carriage bolt. That won’t work; just screw it on to the tip of the bolt. I couln’t get the exhaust hangars in place even after lubricating them with wd-40. I dropped the rubber hangars into undiluted liquid car wash soap which made them much more slippery than the wd-40. After that the rubber hangars slipped into place pretty easily-that’s my best tip. Finding the electric connection plug for the wiring harness was almost as hard as installing the hitch. I was very happy with how the job came out. Good luck.

Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 8-1/2" Long - 7.5K
Excellent quality, fast shipping. Finding a metric ball for our international application was a bit difficult. We knew etrailer was the place to go for all things "trailer" related. Very happy with the purchase!
Strong and seems to be well made and well finished. One-inch ball mounting hole. I used this for a Curt hitch mounted on a 2014 Forester and pulls a small Harbor Freight trailer. Perfect height and trailer is level. Warning - don't get their hitch pin, it does not have a hole for a cotter pin, only a weak clip that I would not trust.

Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 1" Rise, 2-1/4" Drop - 7-5/8" Long - 7,500 lbs
Just your basic ball mount, the product is just like most 2” Hitch ball mounts, the service wasn’t very good though. Ordered on June 15th (product was in stock) took them 6 days to send it out, took another 6 days in shipping and got all the way to my post office two days before leaving on vacation (I needed it for the vacation) and the post office said “box was empty and they notified seller” etrailer sent a new one (got here a week after my vacation) in a damaged box (packaging is horrible, little bit of paper in a box with a 5 lbs ball mount) almost lost this one too. I don’t believe I’ll be using etrailer in the future (had issues before)
Does the job, however there's a lot of play when hitch mount is inserted into the hitch and when towing with an empty trailer. Very loud. Have to buy a silencer that goes around and secures the product.

Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2" Ball - 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs
The hitch and ball mount are excellent quality. My concerns are twofold. The hitch is so heavy that I had to take it to my mechanic to have it installed. Minor cost and inconvenience, but the hitch for my previous F-150 was just as sturdy, but easy to install myself (albeit with higher ground clearance). My concern about the ball mount is that the factory told me erroneously that it could not be reversed for a drop, so I returned it. This order is for the replacement after I was finally correctly told it could be reversed and how to do that. Ball mount would have been a 3 for that reason, and overall hitch and ball mount quality a 5. So I averaged them.
I have two of these. My first I bought two years ago. I very highly recommend this Curt Class III Ballmount 2" Drop because of its price, durability and quality. I towed various class 3 loads with ease and confidence with this ballmount. It slides into the hitch and does its job without fail. It looks excellent after towing a load. etrailer's price is about as good as it gets and delivery is very speedy.

Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 10-1/4" Long - 7,500 lbs
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.
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.

Hidden Hitch Ball Mount - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 15-3/4" Long - 6,000 lbs
Ordered this hitch and it worked perfect for what I needed just bought a teardrop trailer. Couldn't open up the tailgate on my Jeep so I ordered this extended hitch and I brought the ball out past my spare tire and the tailgate opens up now I have no problems. And I looked everywhere couldn't find one of this quality and at this price very reasonable the other ones hundreds of dollars didn't want to spend that much.
This is a huge difference maker for us. I can open the tailgate of our truck with the trailer still attached, and helps minimize any body damage if my backing up is not good.

Ball Mount 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop - 12-5/8" Long

Curt Class I Drawbar - 5/8" Rise, 1-1/4" Drop - 6-3/4" Long - 2,000 lbs
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.
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.

Draw-Tite Ball Mount - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 10-1/2" Long - 6,000 lbs
The shipping was quick. I've also owned it for a year and the product is solid. Besides the sticker wearing, the hitch is perfect.
I had previously purchased the etrailer hitch for my 2021 Ford Transit 150. It was a little short in length and the bumper prevented my current ball mount from working. As always, etrailer had the perfect solution. The Draw-Tite is well made and will now remain permanently with the van to be handy whenever the need arises.
