Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Curt Channel-Mount Forge Pintle and Ball. This pintle hook and hitch ball combo allows you to hitch up a heavy duty trailer. The pintle hook connects to lunette ring couplers, and then the hitch ball connects to standard ball couplers. Now, this hitch ball can be removed if it's ever damaged or if you need a different size. The unit is constructed of sturdy steel. We have a nice black powder coated finish on the pintle and a chrome plating on the hitch ball to resist rust and corrosion.Now, this is designed to mount to an adjustable shank with pins and clips or pins and locks.
This is an example of an adjustable shank and this would fit right into the channel, and then you could slide it up or down to make your adjustments and get the height that you need for your application. The adjustable shank is sold separately, they're available here at etrailer.com.Right here is the included safety pin for the pintle latch that's held to the unit with a chain lanyard so you don't accidentally lose it or misplace it. You take that off, lift up on this lever right here and then pull the unit back. That allows it to go to the open position so you an connect your lunette ring coupler or you could connect to a standard trailer coupler. Then this can be reinstalled to hold it in that position as well.
Then when you're ready to bring this back down, use the latch to do so and then reinstall the pin and clip.The product's made in the USA. It is designed to fit a 3 inch wide channel bracket, so we can tell that by taking a measurement here at the back, edge to edge is about 3 inches wide. This unit offers a gross towing weight capacity of 13,000 pounds. The hitch ball is a 2-5/16 inch ball, and then the ball hole diameter, that's the hole that the shank of the hitch ball goes through, that's an inch and a 1/4. The mount holes on this unit right here are separated on center apart from one another by 2 inches.
This will work with lunette rings that have an inner eye diameter of 2-1/2 or 3 inches. Then the space from the back of the hitch ball to this point right here, so this space right here measures 1-3/4 of an inch. That's going to do it for today's look at the Curt Channel-Mount Forge Pintle and Ball.

Staff was very, helpful and quick to answer questions about there products
Best prices, saved 145.00 one two items compared to local
best I've found so far, easy to swap out with my double ball end.
Great product. Well worth the cost
Just what I needed to complete my hitch package to my customer!
thanks great service
The drop hitch & pintle both arrived in a fast reasonable time. The drop hitch is built even ruggerder than I had anticipated. I strongly recommend anyone looking for these items that I purchased shouldn't hesitate & buy them from etailer,you won't be disappointed!
Very rugged pintle hitch, wicked fast shipping, extremely satisfied.
The folks at etrailer couldn't have been more responsive to a customer. I placed the order on a Saturday for a project & had it delivered (in excellent condition for such a heavy package) by Tuesday afternoon. I'll be going to e- trailer for many other projects to come in sure. Highly recommended!
Great quality, well finished, solidly engineered product. impressed it far exceeded expectations.
Replacing a pintle hook on ex-military Land Rover with combo pintle/ball hitch.
Service provided was excellent.
I beat the heck out of this...no damage..Still works
Great Product, suggest to my friends.
Quality made hitch. Very solidly built. Latch Mechanism solid and the engage disengage spring tension solid and tight, but still easy to engage and disengage. Love how the locking pin is tethered to the hitch! Powder coat finish is thick with complete coverage through out hitch including under latches etc. product arrived within the second day of order.Was expecting it to take a week seeing how the shipping was free with my combined purchase. What a nice surprise! I highly recommend and am very satisfied with my purchase.
No problems with this product after a year of use. As part of the complete channel mount system, the lack of a 1 7/8” ball for the system is annoying.
The price and shipping i will rate perfect. The quality of the product is perfect. I would note that C45922 pintle hook does not fit with DM66134 channel mount. The channel is 2 7/8" wide in the center and the C45922 pintle hook is 3" wide at the mounting holes. I would recommend addressing this in the listed description of the channel. I quickly resolved this issue as i own a machine shop. Others may take issue with fitment. Overall both products rate excellent. I REALLY like the thickness of the channel bracket. The extra cost of the 20K hook combo was money well spent. The extra cost of the 21K channel was also money well spent.
I use this hitch almost daily pulling small 16-18 foot stock trailers and flat bed trailers with ring hitches. I would recommend this hitch to anyone pulling trailers in a work environment.
I own an M-1008 cucv military vehicle, I needed a pintle hitch for a military trailer and I also needed a ball hitch to tow my boat. what an awesome product it bolted in place of the military hitch and serves both my needs.
The product fits great. Hitch with the 1/2 inch hole was perfect for tapping a 9/16 NF thread for a set screw. This takes away the possibility of the hitch being stolen and totally eliminates hitch rattle in the receiver. The reason for the 4 star is due to poor painting in some areas. Left over paint worked well. Thank you Tiffany and etrailer.
