Hi everyone, Aiden here with Etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at this pintle hook mount from CURT. This is gonna be for two-inch hitches, so it'll slide into the two-inch hitch on your vehicle, and give you a mounting plate for a pintle hook. This being just the mounting plate, you'll need to pick up a pintle hook separately. And when you do, just keep in mind that the mount itself here is rated for 10,000 pounds, so, probably a good idea to pick up a pintle hook that is appropriately weighted for that. Once you pick out a pintle hook, this will mount up to the plate.
And this particular one has three different height adjustments. So the four mounting holes on the hook will mount up with four of the holes in the plate. The mounting holes on the platform are spaced three and three eighths of an inch apart horizontally, and one and three quarter of an inch apart vertically. So as you're picking which height adjustment's going to be the right for you and bolting it in, that's the increments you're working in. Now one measurement that's important to know and kind of unique with this one, is from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer face of the mounting plate.
And that's gonna be eight and one quarter of an inch, so, it sticks out quite a bit more than another version of this that's very similar in drop height, but it's got a bit of a shorter shank. There's a couple of things that could be really useful for. I'll get this slid out so you can see. it's gonna be just a little bit longer. So if you have something like a spare tire mounted on the back of your vehicle, or any other obstructions, this will help give you a bit more clearance from that.
If you're using this in something like a 2.5-inch hitch with a reducer sleeve in there, generally those larger hitch sizes mean that the hitch pin hole is gonna be further back. And you can slide something like this in there, and not be so worried about hitting the nearest obstruction like this reinforcement gusset right here. So again, if you already had a 2.5-inch hitch with a reducer sleeve, and you just wanted to get the smaller pintle mount because you don't need a heavier weight capacity, that could work for you. But then also, when it's in the hitch, you're gonna have more room left over, so if you wanted to add something like an anti-rattle device, you're probably not gonna have any issues doing that because there's tons of room left to actually add an accessory like that, which will reduce all the shake and play you'll hear going down the road. One thing that isn't included, though, is a hitch pin.
You will need to pick up one of those separately. You can find those on our site, and I would strongly recommend picking up a locking hitch pin, just to add to the security of the pintle mount. The Etrailer locking hitch pin is a really solid one, and you can get whatever size you need, you are using this in a larger hitch with a reducer sleeve, you can get one with a longer span, or just get the standard five eighths-inch diameter with the two-inch hitch span. This was just our look at this version of the CURT pintle mounting plate. Thanks for watching.

The 8 holes in this pintle plate provide 3 different mounting positions for your pintle hitch so that you can match your trailer height. The shank slides inside your 2" x 2" hitch receiver. Durable carbide black powder coat finish.Very fast shipping and a great product. This seller is a cut above all others.
Looks good, shipped in a timely manner.
Very good , nice welds, good quality.
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.
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 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
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.
The pintle hitch mounting plate is just what I needed and better than I expected.
Thanks
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!
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
Fantastic product. Not one complaint.
Perfect for what I needed to mount. Very sturdy and well made.
good quality, showed up with scratches and dinged up but etrailer did make it right.
Very well made, heavy mounting plate. No issues, Perfect distance from bumper.
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.
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.
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.
Shipped out fast and exactly what I ord ered.
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.
Previous customer, I purchase all the towing equipment for my sons demolition company.
etrailer is always my first stop when I am tasked with finding needed equipment.....this because the site is easy to navigate and provides excellent information relative to capacity and fitment.
Whether I am in need of electrical repair parts or hard towing components, etrailer has the right stuff at fair prices.
A really great source for all my equipment needs.
Excellent product at a great price. Highly recommend both the product and etrailer. The customer service people at etrailer are knowledgeable and understanding and really seem to look out for the customer. AAA+++ Unfortunately for me the mounting plate was too high (my fault) and would damage the tailgate of my truck. I wish Curt would make a plate about 2 inches shorter.
This 2 1/2” Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate is as described. Very well made. Have not used it, but I have mounted it to a Curt pintle hook.
Very pleased with my purchase.
