Video Transcript for The Low-Down on the Curt Fusion Ball Mount for 2" Hitches

Today we're going to be taking a look at part number C45151. This is Curt fusion ball mount for 2 inch hitches. It's going to offer a gross towing weight of 5,000 lb with a maximum tongue weight of 500 lb. The ball mount is going to have the permanently attached 1 7/8 inch ball that's going to let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank portion is going to be the portion that slides into the receiver tube of your hitch and then your hitch ball is going to provide a good connection point for your trailer's coupler. The neat thing about the fusion is that the hitch ball is actually welded to the ball mount platform so there's no need to torque it. It's going to be set and ready to go straight out of the box.

You can also see here that we do not have anything hanging below the ball platform so that's a nice smooth, steel surface at this portion right here. The neat think about the fusion is that it's going to prevent theft of the hitch ball. It's also going to eliminate the possibility of your hitch ball being able to loosen up. It's always going to be able to provide a nice, strong and secure towing setup. It's made from a sturdy steel construction. We're going to have a nice black powder coat finish on the actual ball mount with a chrome plated hitch ball. You can see right here that you are going to get a standard 5/8 inch pin and clip.

If you need a hitch pin and lock to lock this to your vehicle that's going to be sold separately. You can find that with part number 7683, but it does come with a hitch pin and clip to get it secured in your hitch. It is designed for 2 inch by 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. It's going to have a nice hollow shank here on the backside. Again, you're going to have a 1 7/8 inch hitch ball. A few measurements that I want to go over with you real quick.

The first one being the distance that we have from the center of the hitch pinhole to the center of the hitch ball. That's going to give us a measurement of about 8 1/8 of an inch. The distance that we have from the center of the hitch pinhole to the back of the shank is going to measure about 2 1/5 inches. This can only be used in the drop position. I measured from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform.

It's going to give us a drop of 3 1/2 inches. You're going to notice here that on the Curt sticker, they put a 4 inch drop measurement on here. That's an approximate or an estimate or a rounded number, but the exact drop is going to be 3 1/2 inches. Again, that's from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform. Curt's also going to cover this with a limited lifetime warranty. I'm going to go ahead and show you how it installs inside your hitch. All you have to do is take the shank, slide it into the receiver tube until you get your pinholes to line up with one another and then you simply just insert the included hitch pin and clip. That's going to do it for our review of part number C45151. This is the Curt fusion ball mount for 2 inch hitches with a 5,000 lb gross towing weight capacity. .
