Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at these Curt bolt-on pintle hooks. These are gonna be separate pieces that bolt on to a platform that goes into your hitch, that allows us to select whatever drop height we want and then bolt the pintle hook to the platform. This gives us adjustment, to make sure that we're towing our trailer level. But at the end of the day, these are pintle hooks, these will allow us to tow a lunette ring trailer. And the three versions you see here today are gonna be three different weight capacities.
Functionally, they're the exact same, they're gonna work the same way and offer the same hardware, and the same mounting locations. But they really just vary in weight capacity, so let's check 'em out. So the one we have hooked up today will give us a gross trailer weight rating of 30,000 pounds, that's how much weight it can pull. And the new max tongue weight of 8,000 pounds, that's the maximum vertical load limit on the end. The smaller version here, it's gonna look pretty much the exact same.
That's gonna have a gross trailer weight rating of 20,000 pounds, and a max tongue weight of 4,000 pounds. And then the smallest of the bunch, the one that looks just slightly different on top here, is going to have a 10,000 pound gross trailer weight rating and a 2,000 pound max tongue weight. So you can kind of pick these out to match the platform you're mounting it to and your trailer, and make sure that it's up to spec, based on what you need as far as weight capacity goes. Now using this and hooking it up is really straightforward. You've got your pin and safety clips that are just included with the pintle hook and kept in place with the cable.
Once that's out, you can lift this handle and lift up on the top, hook up to your lunette ring trailer, and drop it down in place and re-pin it when you're done. But, we'll open this up and back up the truck. (Aiden attaching hook) Now, all three of these weight capacities will work with lunette rings that have a diameter of two and a half or three inches. And they're also gonna have the same bolt patterns on the back to hook up. And again, they all do come with hardware.
Now for the hole spacing, vertically center on center, that's going to be one and three quarters of an inch. And then from side to side, that's going to be three and three eighths of an inch. For the most part, that should be very standard and match up with most of the platforms out there. But double check the measurements just to be safe. You can mix and match brands if you like. We've tested these ones out, with a couple other ones for two and a half inch hitches today, and they worked out just fine. And then of course, you can find some for other hitch sizes if need be. And overall, I think these are gonna be a really solid option for some pintle hook hookups. If you're looking for a bolt-on option, I think these will do just fine. There's of course other options within the category, if you need one that maybe has a ball for a standard coupler on there, so you can use a standard coupler and a lunette ring trailer, those options are available. I'd also recommend maybe looking into an option where you don't have to bolt it on at all, it's just a one piece design. A lot of those just come straight out from the hitch, so there's no height adjustment. But in the case of our trailer today, we don't really need height adjustment. We're not using that feature and utilizing it, so there's no need. But if you do need that height adjustment this can be a way to go. Now if you're looking for adjustment to use with multiple trailers and you frequently need to change how much of a drop you have, you might look for a system that has easier adjustment, rather than bolting it on. Something from BMW or Curt, both have really solid options in terms of adjustment where you just pull pins and drop it down. Or, loosen bolts on the back to make your height adjustments. Again, it's just a simpler process to make it work. So if you do have multiple trailers, that can be a better option. But they are more expensive, and if you don't need that, then there's no point in spending the money on it. You can just go with something like this, bolt it into the right height that you need, set it and forget it, and you'll be good to go. Of course, be sure to pick up a platform for it if you do choose to go this route. And make sure that everything is weight rated appropriately for your whole towing setup. But that'll do it for our look at these Curt bolt-on pintle hooks. Thanks for watchin'.

This Curt Pintle Hook, along with the Buyers Products 3 position hook mount, works just fine. Good heavy duty hitch!
Great solid product. Using it on a 1 ton diesel with 2 1/2 inch receiver and fits great. Top latch on the pintle hook had alittle more play then I would like but was able to tighten it abit. Good piece of mind when pulling fully load dump trailer.
