Hello neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Curt adjustable pintle mount for a two and a half inch hitch. Now, this is going to be great when towing your trailers with the lunette ring, and this allows for a lot of adjustability. Now, if you consistently tow a trailer, that's the same height every single time, and you're not really swapping around, there's other options, so that way you don't have to get something as large as this on your vehicle. So having the mounting holes is really nice because when you need to adjust for a different height lunette ring range, from trailer to trailer, you can do that fairly easily by changing out the bolts to whatever configuration you need. So with the 14 hole configuration, you're actually able to get six different height mounting points.
And with your eight hole, you can get three and then your four, that's going to be mounted just there, but it's all going to give you a 20,000 pound gross trailer weight rating. So that's quite a bit of weight. Now before towing, you're going to want to make sure that you have a pintle mount that can actually support that weight as well as the vehicle itself. So check your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure that that weight rating matches what you're actually towing. And that way you're not overdoing it.
For example, our pintle hook here is rated at 10,000 pounds. So this is going to be the maximum that you can tow with this configuration. So all of your components need to match the weight that you're actually pulling, just to keep you safe. And this is going to work with any curt pintle mount, so that way you can know that it's going to work on here. But if you want to take some quick measurements, our hole spread here is going to be three and three eighths.
And then for our height, we're going to have one and three quarters. So if you want to check your pintle hook to see if it's going to fit, you now have the specs to do that. Now this is extremely sturdy steel construction. It also has a nice black oxide powder coat finish on it. So it's going to hold up long-term and look really good.
And even if you keep it on your truck, out in the weather, it's going to stay black and looking nice. Now, another thing here, you're going to see the hitch pin and clip. This is not included with it. So if you're getting this plate, you're going to want to pick one of those up as well. And here we have, just your standard hitch pin and clip. But if you want a locking one, that way, this doesn't walk away from your truck in the hands of someone else, we have locking ones available here at etrailer as well. When picking your pintle hook, you're going to want to check any trailers that's not using a lunette ring. And that way you can match the ball with your trailer coupler. You're also going to want to check your gross trailer weight rating. That way you're not overdoing this with a heavy trailer. So find the right fit for you. Now with our 14 hole and our eight hole, you're able to actually flip this over. And that's also going to give you more height adjustability. Now, obviously with your four hole, that's going to be just flush with your trailer hitch receiver. Now, if you're worried about this not having clearance on your tailgate, I'm here to show you at least on our Silverado here, we have no issues. So we're able to keep this in this position. Now in our drop position, it does hang down quite a bit. But thinking about you lifted truck owners, this is going to be awesome because that's going to allow you to put your pintle hook down and still make it level with your trailer, assuming that you're not too lifted up. To determine where I'm going to mount my pintle hook, I actually measured from the ground to the bottom of the lunette ring on our trailer as its set level. And then I came up with 19 inches. So, measuring it out from the ground to the bottom where it's going to actually sit on the ball here, I found that I'm going to go up one slot. So once you've determined the height that you need, you grab your hardware, and then we're going to just slide these in there. And I'm going to back it real quick and tight with. I have my split washer here. I'm just going to kind of hand tighten these, just to kind of get them started so I can get all four on. So with your three quarter inch wrench and you're a three quarter inch socket, I'm going to go ahead and tighten this up. Now you want it snug, and rule of thumb, tighten it down until you have your split washer nice and flush. And that should be good. Go ahead and do that on all four. Now that we have it tightened up at the height that we need, we're ready to hook up to our trailer and get to towing..

The 4 holes in this pintle plate provides a mounting position for your pintle hitch. The shank slides inside your 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" hitch receiver. Durable carbide black powder coat finish.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
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!
Perfect for my needs. Thanks for supporting DIYees
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.

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.
Product was shipped very fast and everything arrived as expected. I'm happy with the product.
The best part about this transaction was the customer service. I called etrailer with a couple questions about my order. I talked to an actual person in the UNITED STATES that actually spoke good ENGLISH. It was so nice being able to connect directly with a person that was knowledgeable about the product and spoke clear English.
Keep up the good work!
Awesome hitch, would pull the frame out from under the truck before this hitch would fail….
We needed this to raise the level of a pintle hitch for our water trailer. The height is just right now. Although I haven’t towed with it yet, I’m sure it will be fine. After all, it does have 5 stars on the reviews. I do want to say that your shipping was fast. Not even a week! That I appreciate!
