Video Transcript for Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2" Hitches Spec Review

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for two inch Hitches with the 12 and a quarter inch long Shank. Has a 10,000 pound weight capacity. Now, this is a hitch mounted adapter plate. It's gonna provide an adjustable height mounting point up front here for your pintle hook to attach to.

Now, the pintle hook is not included. We do sell those separately on our website. And I just wanted to pop up an insert to show you what we're talking about. There's what the pintle hook looks like, and it'll bolt to these poles right here. It does give you six different positions.

One, two, three, four, five, six. So those six different positions will let you customize the height of the pintle hook for your application. This is designed to fit into a two inch by two inch trailer hitch receiver opening. Now, this is to be used only in the drop position like it is right now. It's not to be used in the rise position.

Weight capacity on this is 10,000 pounds. Now, the shank length we're gonna measure overall, and then from the center of the hitch pin hole to the front of the plate. So if we go overall, from the end back to the front of the plate, it's right at 14 and three quarter inches, overall length. If we measure from the center of the hitch pin hole here to the front of the plate, this is gonna be right at 12 and a quarter inches. Now, the mounting plate itself right here in the front that the pintle hook attaches to, a few measurements on that.

The overall height is going to be 12 and a half inches tall. The overall width, five inches wide. And then the mounting holes that the pintle hook attaches to, if we measure those holes the distance between the holes horizontally center to center, you can see is right at three and three eighths inches. And then the measurement, center to center vertically between the holes is right at one and three quarter inches. The mounting holes themselves are nine and 16ths inch diameter. This is a sturdy steel construction, has a solid shank to it, and it has a nice, durable carbide black powder coat finish on it. Now, when you install this into your hitch receiver, it will require a hitch pin and clip, or a hitch lock to install this. We do sell those separately on our website. The diameter is your standard five eights inch diameter for the hitch pin. But that should do it for the review on this CURT Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for two inch Hitches with the 12 and a quarter inch long Shank.
