Video Transcript for Detailed Breakdown of the Pin and Clip for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches

What's up, everybody. It's A.J. with etrailer.com Today, we're gonna be checking out this 5/8 hitch pin from Curt. So it's gonna be used for towing accessories, just a quick pin and clip to throw in there, to make sure this doesn't go anywhere. Let's check it out. You see I can just pull the clip off there, and remove our pin.

And this is what you're gonna get. It's gonna be great for those hitch-mounted accessories. You see, it just slides right there, on a two-inch by two-inch hitch. That way it stays in place. And it's gonna be good for, if you don't leave your accessories on there all the time, you're not really worried about security all that much, 'cause there are locking hitch pins you can get as well.

So that's if you're gonna keep it in the hitch for a long time, and you just don't wanna worry about it, but this is better for maybe you only use the ball mount every once in a while, you just wanna throw it in there and get started. You're gonna throw it right back in the back of the truck when you're done. Or maybe if you're in a state with stinger laws and you can't leave this on here all the time, you don't wanna leave it locked up, so you just pull that pin and clip, and throw it in the side. The pin and clip are gonna be steel construction, with a zinc finish on there. So that means it's not gonna rust or corrode if you leave it out in the elements.

So that's one less thing to worry about if you do leave your accessory in all the time. So this isn't just for ball mounts either, it's most hitch accessories, if they don't come with their own threaded pin or their own special brand of pin, it's gonna be one of these is what secures it to the hitch. So it doesn't hurt to have one, definitely nice for, like I said, a quick unpin, pull it out, swap out your accessory, or just put your accessory away when you're done with it. Not something you worry about leaving on there and locking up. Well, I think that does it.

Thanks for hanging out, and I hope this helps..

  • Options for Sway Control on a Hitch That Cannot Use Weight Distribution
    We definitely have some options available for your 2021 Audi Q8. With your trailer sitting right at 24 inches tall and the hitch sitting at 17 inches, I am going to suggest going with 7 inches of rise. The Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45448 will have the needed 7 inches of rise and will also be able to handle up to 12,000 pounds. The Curt 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40008 will then attach to this ball mount. You will also need a pin and clip, like the C21500, if you do not already have...

  • Weight Capacity of Trailer Hitch Pins
    Trailer Hitch Pins like the Curt # C21500 do not have specific weight ratings and there is not a database available that will have this type of information. Generally speaking, a 5/8 inch diameter pin, which is designed for Class III, IV and V trailer hitches, will have a rating that exceeds what a Class V hitch will be able to handle. A 1/2 inch diameter pin for Class I and II trailer hitches will typically have a capacity of up to 3,500 pounds.

  • Hitch Pin Weight Capacity and Sheer Strength
    We aren't manufacturers of those parts, and we don't have the testing ability in house, so I reached out to a couple of our manufacturers to see what information they could provide to try and help. I reached out to my contact at Curt regarding the pin and clip # C21500 and he said they haven't ever needed to test the sheer strength of a pin because the hitches and ball mounts will fail before the pin does every single time. They are rated for 6 figures easily. He gave an example of a...

  • Parts Needed to Complete Towing Package on 2020 Land Rover Defender D110 with Factory Towing
    Unfortunately we do not have towing components like a hitch or wiring that have been confirmed to fit on the 2020 Land Rover Defender yet, but if your vehicle came with the towing package included you should already have a hitch and wiring present though. If you actually just need a ball mount and hitch ball that fit into the receiver, then it looks like the D110 comes with a 2" receiver. For that I recommend starting with something like the Curt # C45230, which can be used for trailers...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 1999 Lincoln Town Car
    We have everything needed to equip your 1999 Lincoln Town Car so that it can pull your boat trailer. Starting with the trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # 13707. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your Lincoln Town Car and it features a towing capacity of 4,000 pounds. I recommend also verifying the capacity of your vehicle by checking your copy of the owner's manual. You will need to follow whichever capacity is lower, the vehicle's or the hitch's. I...

  • Recommended Tow Dolly for 2007 Toyota Prius behind 2017 Toyota Sienna
    The tongue weight of a tow dolly is minimal because it has the weight of the front of the tow vehicle across the axle. So you will have almost no tongue weight when using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1. You will simply need to account for the towing weight of the 545 lb # RM-2050-1 along with the 2,932 lbs curb weight of your 2007 Toyota Prius. Your 2017 Toyota Sienna has a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, so you can use the # RM-2050-1 and be just under your...

  • How Can the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Be Secured to Deter Theft?
    The Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches # RM-195225 can be secured with a hitch lock like the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - Flush - 2-3/4" Span - Chrome # BX8858. Then you can use a spare tire lock like the Fulton # FSTL0603 or etrailer.com lock # e98892.

  • 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...

  • Can Hopkins Wiring Harness for 2013 Subaru Outback be Stored in Hatch When Not in Use
    You can absolutely store the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11143865 in the hatch of your 2013 Subaru Outback when you aren't using it instead of routing it outside the vehicle. The connector end will be long enough to hang outside your hatch when you need to connect it to your trailer. I have added a link to the instructions and a video install for you to check out as well of the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11143865. If you also need a trailer...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Toyota RAV4
    The hitch I recommend for your 2017 Toyota RAV4 is the Curt # C13149, which is a confirmed fit. This is a class III hitch with a tongue weight capacity of 525 lbs and a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. The hitch will fit hybrid models of the RAV4 and you will not lose the ability to use the hands-free liftgate sensors. If you are going to be towing and need to add a 4-way harness you'd want Curt T-Connector # C56350. For a ball mount you are going to want the Curt # C45030, along with either...

  • Recommended 10,000 lb Capacity Ball Mount and 2 Inch Hitch Ball With 7 Drop
    There is a ball mount that has a 2" hitch ball and the 7" of drop you are looking for. Since you have a 10,000 lb capacity Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM13689-95, in order to match the weight capacity and get the 7" of drop you need, you will need an adjustable ball mount: - B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10040B (Black) or # BWTS10040C (Chrome) The Tow & Stow has a 2" and also a 2-5/16" ball, a 10,000 lb towing capacity, and up to 7" of drop so it matches everything you...

    We have exactly what you need for your 2019 Nissan Titan XD, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C15306, because this monster of a hitch is Class V rated with a towing capacity of 16,000 lbs and tongue weight capacity of 2,400 lbs. It will fit your '19 Titan XD, even if you already have the factory hitch - it will simply fit below that hitch to give you a bigger, meaner hitch.

  • How To Determine Correct B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount For 2 Inch Hitch
    You made a great choice with the B&W Tow & Stow, as it is considered by many to be the best ball mount in the industry due to its strength and anti-theft design of the platform. In order to determine which one is correct for your F-250, you will just need to take two different measurements to ensure you get the right one. Just measure from the ground to the top of the inside of your Ford's hitch receiver; next, measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler and find the...

  • Is It Safe To Pull My 6,000lb Travel Trailer With A Trailer Hitch Reducer?
    If you are using a reducer sleeve such as Curt Reducer Sleeve 2-1/2" to 2" # C45405 or Blue Ox Hitch Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch # BX88187, then you will not have an issue as this style does not typically reduce the towing capacity and you will simply go by the towing capacity of your vehicle and hitch. However, you will want to look up that exact model/brand reducer or provide us with the information to make sure that there is no reduction in towing capacity. If you are...

  • Replacement Hardware Kit for Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 13416

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Ball Mount Rise for U-Haul Trailer Coupler for 2015 Mazda CX-5
    On your 2015 Mazda CX-5, the measurement you need is from the ground to the inside top of the receiver. If you look at the attached video we that measurement listed at 15-1/2 inches so it is different from the 13 inch you referenced. For your 13 inch measurement you will then need a 5 inch rise. I recommend the B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount - 5" Rise, 6" Drop - 10-3/4" Long - 16,000 lbs # BWBMHD30014 or the Curt # C45336 and then you will need the # A-90 hitch ball. The pin and clip #...

  • Will the Kuat Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve Work for Towing
    The Kuat Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve part # KU93VR is not designed for towing so I don't recommend using this as such. Instead, I recommend the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve part # C45405 which will allow you to use your 2" hitch accessories inside your 2-1/2" receiver. Please note, you might also need a larger hitch pin for the 2-1/2" for which I recommend the Pin and Clip for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches part # C21500.

  • Distance From Ground To Curt Hitch C13382 On a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
    In regards to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13382 which is a fit for a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube opening is 15". Therefore, if the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler (while level) is 21" then you need a ball mount with a 6" rise. The Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45100 will work for this but you also need a Pin/Clip part # C21500 and Hitch Ball part # 40038.

  • Do Trailer Hitch Pins Bare Weight of Trailer When Towing
    A hitch pin used as a recovery point would not have the same weight capacity as the hitch of the truck when used for towing. This is due to fact that towing a vehicle would have much less resistance than moving a stuck vehicle and also there's no ball mount involved. So when towing the tongue weight of the trailer pushes down on the ball mount which pins it against the hitch tube creating a enough friction that the trailer is towed from that and now the hitch pin. So without the ball mount...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1998 GMC Pickup with 10 Inch Deep Drop Bumper
    To get the highest towing capacity available on your 1998 GMC Truck I suggest the Curt Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15317. This hitch has a gross trailer weight of 16,000 pounds and maximum tongue weight of 2,400 pounds. Of course you'll want to verify your truck's towing capacity since it will be the limited factor. All of the hardware is included to bolt this to your truck's frame. If you also need a ball mount, # C45340. This will keep you around the same weight capacity as...

  • Ball Mount With 2 Inch Rise for 2 Inch Trailer Hitch and Warranty of 4-Way Bracket
    You are absolutely right that you need a ball mount with a 2 inch rise since your coupler is 2 inches above the top of your hitch receiver. The Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270 is a great option that fits in a 2" hitch and you can use either Pin and Clip # C21500 or Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 to secure it to your hitch. For a hitch ball, depending on your trailer's coupler you will need 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40017 or 2" Hitch Ball # 40038. In regards to Mounting Bracket # 18144...

  • Will Curt Cargo Carrier for 2 Inch Hitches Work on 2018 Dodge Journey?
    The 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs # C18153 does not come with a hitch pin. You can use the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 2-5/8" Span # 63232 which is my recommendation or a regular hitch pin and clip like # C21500. It will absolutely work well on a 2018 Dodge Journey as long as you have a 2 inch receiver.

  • Ball Mount with 7-1/2 Inch Drop For 2 Inch Receiver
    For reasons unknown, Curt actually rounds up to the nearest number for advertising their ball mount, which is confusing, but the true drop is 7-1/2 inches for the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45100. So this ball mount will work to get the drop you are looking for; along with the ball mount you will need a pin and clip or lock as well as a hitch ball. The complete list of parts is the following: - Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 6-1/4" Rise, 7-1/2" Drop # C45100 - 1-7/8" Hitch Ball...

  • How to Determine the Amount of Drop Needed on Ball Mount for Towing Trailer
    When determining the amount of rise or drop you will need on the ball mount for your towing setup, you just need to take a couple simple measurements. The first, which you have already taken, is from the ground to the top of the trailer hitch receiver when your vehicle is parked and on level ground. The second is from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when it is also parked on level ground. You did state you took a measurement when the trailer was attached to a different vehicle,...
