Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate. And this is going to slide right into your 2 and a half inch by 2 and a half inch trailer hitch receiver on your vehicle. And then it's gonna provide the mounting point for your pintle hook. Now your pintle hook is sold separately but this is gonna be compatible with lots of different options on the market. We have lots of different pintle hooks available here at etrailer.com that will work with this mounting pattern.
So you can see this is 5 inches in width and approximately 7 and a half inches tall. These mounting holes are about 5/8 of an inch in diameter and they're separated center to center horizontally about 3 and a half inches. And then vertically about 1 and 3 quarters of an inch in center to center. So that's gonna give us 3 mounting positions so that we can customize the height of our pintle to ensure that it's gonna match up to our trailer so that we have a nice level trailer as we're towing. And now this plate can only be used in the drop position like we have it here.
It cannot be used in the rise position like this so we wanna make sure that your trailer needs to have a little bit of a drop to the pintle, in order for those to work properly for you. This is going to be made of a sturdy steel construction so it's going to give us an 18,000 pound weight capacity. It's got a durable carbide black powder coat finish on it so it will hold up well for us. Our hitch pin is covered with this sticker here, but it is your standard 5/8 inch diameter pin hole there. So just your standard pin and clip will work.
They don't include the pin and clip, but you, we do have lots of options available here at etrailer.com if you don't already have one, which you probably already have. Just one of the standard 5/8 inch diameter in pins and clips there. We also have locking pins available if you wanted to add a little extra security to this. And I do wanna give you a few measurements to make sure that this is gonna work for you. So our overall length from the very front here to the back of our shank, we're looking at about 12 and a quarter of an inch.
And then from the center of our pinhole to the back part of our gusset, where it would stop against your front of your receiver tube. It's approximately 4 inches. Of course, that weld on the bottom there might vary slightly from one model to the next, but it's about 4 inches. So it should be enough clearance for you for most of your hitch receiver tubes. So if you are looking for a mounting plate for your pintle hook and that's going to fit into your 2 and a half inch trailer hitch receiver on your vehicle, this is gonna be exactly what you need. That completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Amazing product! Absolutely fast shipping! Great buying experience. Packed tight and they don’t skimp on ensuring your product is shipped safe. 1st time buyer and I’m coming back for more! ETrailer is legit.
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.
Fantastic product. Not one complaint.
Very well made, heavy mounting plate. No issues, Perfect distance from bumper.
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!
mounting plate arrived in a few days. well built and very satisfied with the quality. i purchased 2 sets for both of my trucks. has a good coat of corrosion resistance, that means a lot, you don't want your hitch rusting. i live in a salt enviroment and this will hold up. the fit and finish is top notch.
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
