Today we're going to be taking a look at a Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2 1/2 inch hitches. This hitch mounted adapter plate provides a mounting point for a pintle hook. Pintle hooks are sold separately. If you're interested or in need, you can find some here at etrailer.com. The shank portion slides into the receiver tube of your hitch, and then you need to secure it using a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock. Those items are sold separately.
The pin holes on this unit will accept a standard 5/8 diameter pin. The unit is constructed of a sturdy steel construction. It's going to feature a durable carbide black powder coated finish to resist rust and corrosion. Product's made in the USA. Really nice durable design. Again, it is designed to fit into a 2 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver, and then you got the nice mounting plate right here that provides the mounting point for your pintle hook.
Now, this features a gross trailer weight capacity of up to 20,000 pounds. We're going to take some measurements. Starting with the mounting plate, so if we go edge to edge this direction this is going to give us a measurement of around 5 inches wide. Overall height, so from bottom to top of that mounting plate, it measures about 3 11/16 of an inch to 3 3/4 of an inch tall. Then the thickness of that plate front to back, that's a 1/2 inch thick steel plate. Now the overall length, I took a measurement from the very front of the unit to the very back and got a measurement right around 12 inches, maybe 12 1/8 of an inch, right in that area. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the front of the mounting plate, that gives a measurement of about 8 1/4 inches.
Then from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the shank it's going to measure pretty close to 4 inches. The mount holes here at the mounting plate, center on center side to side, they're separated by about 3 1/2 inches. Center on center up and down they're separated by about 1 3/4 inches. Then those mount holes have a diameter of 9/16 of an inch. Mounting hardware to get a pintle hook attached to the mounting plate, that's not included. If it doesn't come with a pintle hook then you will need to provide your own mounting hardware.
That's going to do it for today's look at the Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2 1/2 inch hitches.

Exactly what I needed to level pulling my military trailer. The pintle hitch bolted to the mounting plate within a few minutes. Now I can get into the back country with my FJ pulling a trailer made possible by the your pintle hitch/mounting plate Combination.
Thanks
The 30,000Lb pintle hitch bolted on this plate with ease...This plate has just the right amount of adjustments to suit different trailer/tow vehicle heights.
E Trailer's customer service on this order was outstanding. I ordered a pintle hitch mount on 9/20. I was then quickly notified that they did not have the specific product in stock, but they offered a comparable product that could ship out immediately. Product showed up quickly as advertised, and within the specification that is required.
I would highly recommend working with them, as their customer service and attentiveness to detail was top notch.
It is rare to find people who genuinely care that much about their customer in today's age.
I look forward to a long relationship with an outstanding company.
I recently purchased the Curt 3-position Pintle Mount 48343 and the Demco 6-Hole Adjustable Channel Bracket - Weld On - 12" Tall - 21,000 lbs - DM66134 and found both items to be of exceptional quality. This was the first time I purchased from etrailer.com and I found their website to be the most complete in the product descriptions and the tracking information was spot on. I will use them in the future.
Overall solid product, but the weld on the bottom is sloppy. Should have been ground flat before paint.
Well Built and a good value.
Use this with a curt 16k combination ball/pintle hitch and am very satisfied so far. No drama purchase via Etrailer, and when the torque spec for the hitch — inexplicably — wasn’t included in the literature a call to their friendly team fixed this issue.
This is one solid built mounting plate! Solid shank is very beefy and fits like a glove in my ram 3500 receiver hitch. No slop at all like I've found in other hitches. Welds are immaculate. Powder coat finish is very thick and looks like it will hold up to the eliminates for a long time. Plate also has a recess on the shank for ease of gripping and lifting into position.Nice feature as the plate is heavy to lift since it has a solid shank of 2.5" steel! There is also a gusset plate welded to the base of the shank for added support that I noticed a lot of other plates don't have. Highly recommend if you want the piece of mind that your hitch is going to be able to take heavy loads.
Hi Amy, Thanks for getting this shipped out asap. We were able to move a Semi Trailer around our yard this last week using this & a Plate Mounted Pintle Hook. Saved us from renting a Forklift. I didn't get Pictures...Maybe next time!
Perfect for my needs. Thanks for supporting DIYees
A few days after the arrival of this pintle plate a Fed Ex carrier delivered the Black Armor 1/2 truck mat for my 2024 RAM 3500. Cutting the rear corners to fit the rear of the bed was a simple procedure by first scoring the thick 12 inch rubber with a utility razor knife first with a steel right angle ruler and then cutting it with a hack saw blade rather than using my Makita Sawzall or Jig Saw for safety. Awesome. awesome bed mat protection.
Paula was very very helpful and accommodating! I will certainly do business with etrailer again!
Our customer needed this next day, the website said it would be next day and it was. Worked out perfectly. Thank you.
As I stated with the pintle hitch everything is ruggerder than I had imagined it would be. This set up is going to help me out like no tomorrow. Thanks for your quality of products & speedy delivery!
Excellent heavy duty mounting plate!
The pintle hitch mounting plate is just what I needed and better than I expected.
Thanks
Solid and heavy built product. Lined up perfectly with the 3” down to 2.5” sleeve I previously ordered for my F250 3” receiver. Awaiting the pintle ball combo I ordered to bolt up to this plate. Thanks for the speedy service.
I use Curt Pintle Hitch plates with either 6061 aluminum 2x3x5 foot bars or 2x1 channel steel bars with attached 3 inch diameter ABS drain pipe mounted on etrailer front hitches and rear factory truck hitches to protect the truck, SUV, or van front and rear bumpers and body from bad drivers. Mounted to the frame the front of rear hitch impact bars are much stronger than aftermarket bull bars or front protective bars that will crush into the front grill and bumper or rear of a vehicle
mounting plante has worked perfectly. it is the only one that i could find that was rated for the weight when mounted upright or down when using a 2" reciever. shows no signs of fatigue after a year of towing a 3500lb trailer with a 13,000lb escavator several times a week. very satisfied with purchase
Robust! This pintle mount plate is a monster! Fitment to my 2013 Toyota 4Runner 2” hitch is great, and precisely the size I was looking for, given rear hatch access,(The rear hatch swings free and clear) and pintle hook rise requirements. I easily went from 17” to 26” off the pavement! Photos will show the additional reflective tape I applied to necessitate a safe night’s drive. Photos show the really nice locking pin that secures the mount plate. Special kudos to Jessie at etrailer customer service to expertly assist me in the selection discussion- what a joy! Delivery was ahead of schedule and the product met my specifications! Now let’s get on the road and see how she runs!
The truck hitch was setting at 27" could not find anything local so off to the web E Trailer was the first place that I went to, to see if they had a drop hitch that would work with the pintel hook that would drop the pintel hook down to 20". sure, enough they had two of the in stock, I ordered them had them ship them to me overnight, received them like promised, customer is happy, Boss is happy.
Thanks E Trailer
Bought this piece to manufacture a hitch extension. Had to cut the pintle attachment off and use the shaft in this project. I wanted/needed a solid 2 1/2” shaft because of the decrease in tongue and GVW capacities over direct coupling to the factory hitch. I am running an F250 with the tailgate down and a Razor in the bed in addition to pulling a 24’ camper. No worries ??.
Etrailer had the pieces in stock and delivered fast.
Would really like the manufactures to step up and supply a punched solid 2 1/2” shaft
