Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we'll be reviewing part number A-90. This is the Curt hitch ball with a 2" diameter, medium shank and it's rated at 10,000 pounds and that comes with a gross towing weight. This hitch ball is going to give us a shank diameter which is this portion here of right at 1 1/4". So, when choosing a ball mount, you want make sure that the ball mount does have at least 1 1/4" opening to receive the 1 1/4" diameter shank that our ball mount has on it. The shank length, measuring from the bottom of the flange, the bottom of the shank bar is going to measure about 2 5/8". If we take the measurement from the bottom of the flange to the top of our hitch ball, it's going to give us a measurement of 2 3/4". Now again, this ball does have a capacity of 10,000 pounds.
It comes with a nut and a lock washer. Another thing that I want to mention real quick is that when choosing a ball mount you want to make sure that the ball mount has a 1/2" to 1" thick draw bar. As you can see on our ball mount today, it measures right around 1". So, it's definitely between that 1/2" to 1" mark. So this would be an appropriate ball mount to use. It also has 1 1/4" size diameter hole for our hitch ball. So the way this would install is we would take our ball, place it through the hole, place on our lock washer and secure it by tightening down our nut.
Our nut size is 1 7/8". So you need to make sure you have that size of wrench or socket to tighten this down and torque it down to the specifications listed by the manufacturer. That's how you install it and that's going to complete our review of part number A-90. That's the Curt hitch ball with a 2" diameter, medium shank rated at 10,000 pounds. .

The ball is perfect fit for 1-1/4 receiver hole. A couple of taps to the top of the ball to get it fully seated and yiur ready to torque the nut down. If your looking for a heavy duty ball, this is rated at 10k lbs and should do the job. I was impressed with not only fulfillment but also the speed of shipment and the price was unbeatable! Customer service was also top notch taking time to contact me throughout the order and shipping process. No doubt this will serve my purpose of hauling around my trailer used for cars, tractors, motorcycles and other miscellaneous project items. I've included a couple pictures so you can get an idea of how heavy duty this ball is built. Great buying experience all the way around. 472755

Excellent hitch for the price. Just what my minivan needed after struggling with other types. Made a big difference in pulling my 3000 lb camper. Very easy to set up. I ordered the correct 1 1/4 inch ball shank for a proper fit. 141002

Economy shipping was lightning fast! Product is just what I wanted; it is pulling my 7,500lb horse trailer with no problem. The other reviews that worry about the chrome scratching...I think most of us know that's a given when one places a few tons of metal on top. Great product so far! 159864
It has been a year and the hitch ball is holding up nicely! This was a great choice for my 7500lb trailer

After balking at the cost to have an auto-shop add a trailer to our Toyota Highlander, we found etrailer.com and decided to take a chance. The "how to" videos factored considerably in our decision to buy ... they made it look so easy! And surprise! It really -WAS- that easy. We used standard block-type ramps (the kind you can buy for $40 ) to get the SUV up off the ground high enough to get underneath to do the work. Everything came off as easy as it was showed in the videos. Other than the fact this bar is a heavy so we had our teen daughter help hold it steady while we bolted it into place (i.e., get help for when you go to lift it), it went super smooth. Thanks for saving us $280 over the cost the car dealer quoted us! P.S. - be sure to watch the linked videos so you get the right trailer lighting attachment and ball hitch for your new hitch. 510345

by: Jim V07/01/2016
Very good product and easy to install. My configuration allowed the lift brackets that came with the order to be used, so I didn't have to order the bracket kit. The installation videos on the e-trailer were excellent. Delivery was also prompt, only four days for me. My trailer only required a 2" ball rather than the 2 5/16" ball supplied. I had trouble finding a 2" ball locally with a 1 1/4" diameter shank. I ordered this from e-trailer and again delivery was prompt. I did have to buy some larger wrenches to work with the 2" nuts on the balls so keep that in mind if your a due-it-yourselfer. The manual was pretty good, but I got more out of the videos. I little more description on the initial setting of the friction sway control would have been helpful (i.e. is the factory setting midway? lowest? highest)? 267227

FYI - you will need a 1 7/8" wrench. Heavy Duty 2" without using bushings on large hitches. Perfect condition when arrived 020514 450 ft. lbs torque on the nut. Woo-Wee. Eat your breakfast! 115787
3,000 miles on it in the past year. Zero issues. Still a 5 Star deal!

Simplicity is the key here. Very easy to order, customer service (Lisa D) asked a few questions about vehicle and what I needed to Tow, and like magic, she found this at a very good price which saved me $$$. It was very easy to install, heavy duty construction!! It shipped faster than other online sites could have done, a day and half later, UPS showed up with it. Back to installation, I watched the video and it worked as advertised. I never used one before, but it just works. Very satisfied. 552984

Couldn't find a 2" 10,000lb 1.25" trailer ball for a decent price. Etrailer had one, ordered it and received it in 4 days. Great service. 232773
Great product. Great people to work with.

Wanted a 10,000 lbs 2" hitch ball with a 1.25" shaft diameter. Received exactly what I need and very quickly. Will continue to buy from etrailer. 168451
Still works great, thanks.

I recently purchased a used weight distribution hitch from a friend and it had a 2 5/16" ball on it. I needed the 2" ball for my purposes of loading my car hauler with my smoker and atv. My smoker sits at the front of my trailer adding 1,200lbs of weight to the tongue, with that in mind this was a great option to distribute the weight amongst my entire truck frame. etrailer was a great site to use in order to get my product to me fast and at a very reasonable price! This is my second time purchasing from etrailer and I'm looking forward to doing business with them again. 562788

Perfect. Thanks.

The pole tongue adapter and Fastway E2 hitch work great together. Instructions are straight forward and easy to follow. I put it together following the basic setup and it didn't need much adjustment. I could recommend this setup for anyone. Our ice castle has a hydralic frame which you can use to hook the spring bars up. It greatly improved the ride, steering and handling of the rig. I also have a set of Air Lift 1000 in the rear (previously ordered from etrailer). They work great in conjunction with this hitch. And further add adjustability to the setup. 421008

I had a friend give me a heavy duty load leveling hitch to pull my camper with. It had a 2 5/8 inch ball on it already, but I needed a 2 inch ball. I checked the big box stores, and even the auto parts stores. No one carries a 2 inch ball with 2 1/4 inch shank. Found this company online, and now I have it. The only reason I didn’t rate 5 stars was the cost was about twice the amount of a regular 2 inch hitch ball, plus shipping.. But that’s the price you pay for a specialty item. Overall, happy to get it, and it’s installed on the hitch. 505702

Can't really say much about a hitch ball. As long as it can handle the haul, I will be satisfied. I will however comment that I was very happy with the ease of finding exactly what I was looking for on etrailer.com Ordering was easy as pie. Communication with regards to shipping was spot on and I received my order fast. Will definitely will be looking to etrailer.com in the future for my towing and trailer needs. Thanks etrailer.com!! 484827
by: Geoff from Canada08/07/2017
My etrailer order was shipped promptly. etrailer contacted me several times by phone and via email after I placed the order (and after the order was shipped and delivered) to make sure everything was OK. All of the items I ordered are of high quality and good workmanship and I am very happy with the unusually high level of service and communication from etrailer staff. The Sway control ball was easy to install and works great. 420970

Great trailer ball for my use on 1985 Casitas trailer, weighing about 1300lbs. WhIle I got a shank diameter about 1/8" small, I filled space with silicone caulking to deter movement, and applied two lockwashers. Great price! 268765

I have purchased several A-90 10,000 lb rated hitch balls. We use them for towing trailers weighing about 5,000 lbs. our trucks tow about 750 miles every week, we need a good quility ball. Each year we change the hitch balls for safety. The A-90 shows little wear after 30,000+ miles of towing. We have never had an issue with the A-90 and will continue to use them. I recommend them to anyone using a 2" ball 1-1/4 shank. 435784

My order was received on time and with everything that was ordered.The hitch has been put on my trailer and working great.Thanks to Suzanne and her knowledge of the product was excellent.Thank You. The 2" ball was just what I needed thought it may have not been available for the bigger hitch but thanks to Suzanne it was just what I needed.Thanks again and I'm sure if I ever need more from E Trailer I will be in touch. 162651

Very disappointing. The chrome coating began to flake off before I even installed it. I get it, it's not supposed to be a fashion accessory, but now I have exposed metal that instantly began to rust. It works, so I gave it 2 stars, but it's not the quality I have come to expect from a manufacturer like Curt. I have several of their other trailer products and love 'em. This one - not so much. 434368
by: wild bill07/13/2017
I can't really give this trailer ball anything better than good because I haven't used it yet. It looks good, fits and is true to the specs. The price was outstanding. Get back to me in two years and ask for an update. THEN I'll know how it actually works! I'll also take a picture then so we can see how the finish held up. Thanks for the opportunity to give this honest review.- WB 405301
well its still round and shiny. a little of the chrome is coming off the top edges but other than that its doing its job just fine. Stayed tight, thats good. Im going to say its a keeper!

Ordered to fit the 1 1/4" hole in the ball mount that came with my 2014 Tundra. This is one heavy duty 2" ball, 10,000# rating, Class IV that will handle anything that I should ever decide to pull. Flat shoulders makes it nice to fit a large adjustable wrench without having to mess up the finish with a pipe wrench. Takes some grunting to get the 470 ft.lbs of torque. 139631
by: Matt C.05/07/2017
First of all, the products you find at etrailer are not your garden variety, home depot kind of fair. Much higher quality and grade/weight ratings. So to be able to get hard to find items and then by orderring at least 100$ worth of stuff also get it delivered free in 4 days, is awesome. If I had found this ball locally, it would have been at least twice the price. 377590

Have been to etrailer site several times now to order parts to complete different projects, like this hitch ball. I have bought incomplete projects with missing parts and saved a lot of money.I go to a site like etrailer and pick up what i need, there parts and service is the best & fasts .... everything ivd bought from them has been the best quality. 423834
Looks and works great , no problems !!

I could not find an over the counter 10,000 lb. ball with the right shank size. Found it with no problem at etrailer. We use the 10,000 to rep[lace our 6,000 with for safety. My trucks tow about 25,000 miles each per year and we change the hitch ball because of wear and shock load. This is the way to go with a 2-inch ball for wear and safety. 162996
by: Bill R.05/24/2012
Excellent product, great fit & finish. Very competative price. I spent more than this on gas . . . trying to find it locally. They don't sell enough to keep a good stock. Every plated ball I've ever owned scarred & rusts. . . .. A stainless steel ball this size would be out of sight. etrailer will be my 1st stop for trailer parts 41507
by: Kent A.06/24/2017
Just a meat-and-potatoes 2" hitch ball to fit a 1-1/4" hole in a ball mount. Threads were nice and clean. Nut fit the shank well. Includes lock washer. Shank was long enough to mount correctly to a class 5 Titan 8" drop hitch. When torque was specs was reached, the nut felt very solid. Whench flats very helpful during tightening. 398684

Product was shipped immediately and arrived quickly in great shape. Communication was frequent, always keeping me informed of the status of my order and shipment. They even followed up to determine my satisfaction. Great company that is obviously run efficiently. I will definitely be using them for all my towing needs. 54882
by: James C.09/05/2017
completely satisfied , good shipping, good products . I use the 2 inch hitch and 2 inch ball about every week on my jeep grand cherokee . I use the trailer dolly to park the utility trailer behind the shed.by using the trailer dolly I don't have to drive the jeep on the lawn. (sorry I don't have pictures to send.) 429314

Not sure how to review this product. It is a hitch ball. It works or it doesn't. It works fine with my C17500 WDH. 302030
by: Matthew04/05/2018
I never received the product. I was tracking that is was suppose to be here today and your website said it was delivered at 2:36 pm however When I arrived at 4:30 the product was not here. I have checked the mailbox and around my house and I do not have it. I wouldn’t make this up, I only need one ball hitch. 493068
by: Brandon11/21/2011
High quality. the nut is bigger than the balls with the 1" shank. I have a wrench for the nut on 1" shank but not this one, I was able to get it tight enough with a monkey wrench and a bench vice. you could probably get a wrench form harbor freight for cheep or take it somewhere and have them install it. 27248
by: Jamie07/14/2018
I’ve never took the time to make a good review on a company, but this company I felt deserved it. etrailer took the time verified and changed my order after I already paid to make it correct, speedy shipping, easy install instructions, great quality product. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 541700

Perfect fit for my 2011 2500HD duramax and quality is very good. Drop is perfect for stock ride height. Solid and Heavy. Best part was help from George J who proactively reached out to make sure it would reach me in time. Service like that is rare based on my ordering from other online retailers. 392742
by: Workhard07/31/2015
I like a heavy ball 10,000 lbs for safety. I had an extra 2&5/16 new ball hitch with 6-inch drop that I really liked but needed to run a 2-inch ball. This lets me use my heavy hitch. I feel much safer with it. I load my trailer up to 5000 lbs and like to know that that I have a good weight buffer. 215849

Not a lot that you can say about a trailer hitch ball but a lot can be said about etrailer. I had not been able to find a 2 inch ball with a 1 1/4 inch shank diameter. None of the big box stores . Etrailer had it, I ordered it and received it in 4 days. Great choices and great service. 409133
by: John S.02/03/2017
Great company to deal with. Everything went smoothly from ordering to delivery. Item was bought with another towing part. The correct parts arrived well packed, to the right address, and within a few days. I will be doing more business with etrailer and recommending them to my friends. 338190
by: Bill T07/26/2016
I received the items and they were exactly as described on the webs site. It took a little longer to get them than expected but I was kept update to date with the order all the way through the shipment to my door. Great experience I would recommend them and shop with them again. 276509

I actually purchased a weight distribution hitch and UPS destroyed the box and lost the chains and u-bolts. I called etrailer and they sent a replacement right away and I got them in time for my next camping trip. The hitch works great and the customer service was excellent. 407023
by: Rick B.07/15/2016
Precision made and very good value. Will not find a better hitch ball for the price and as always prompt delivery and a good pa kaging job. Etrailer is my go to source for all towing equipment and accessories. You won't do better on quality, price and customer service. 272365

Needed a new ball for my hitch and the staff at etrailer confirmed that I ordered the exact piece required for my WD hitch. Even with shipping the part was competitively priced. They sent it out fast and my part arrived without a scratch in record time! I'll back! 330346
by: Clayton12/21/2017
There isn't much difference between this ball and other balls. However this one is very thick and heavy and should handle the 10,000 lbs capacity rating with no question what so ever. Little more costly then the smaller ones but you get what You pay for. 461915
by: Duke12/06/2013
Looks to be an excellent and heavy duty hitch ball. However, I did not realize it would not fit my standard draw bar. The shaft on the hitch is significantly thicker than a standard hitch ball. I guess I should have thought about that, but I did not. 109397
