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. .

Ball mount can be used in the drop position only. Fits 2" hitches.Just received the hitch, receiver, and harness. All in excellent condition.
Hitch is now installed.
I'll have to do the harness Saturday, since the lights on my trailer don't work anyway, lol.
Thanks for all your help.
Well made hitch. Just the right drop for my Polaris Ranger and trailer.
Great product the only downside was it was out of stock when ordered and I was not notified at checkout. They did however have this item delivered within a two weeks so it did not create an issue for me.
Review from a similar Fusion in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I haul a 5.5x10 open trailer w/ a 900 lb. ZTR, a push mower, and a handful of other tools 3 days a week. It is what it is. It does the job, no problem.
A little finish wear and rust on the ball, but nothing major. I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD, which is probably responsible for the wear.

I am very happy with my trailer hitch receiver from etrailer. I installed one on my 2011 Toyota rav4 for towing a small teardrop trailer I made during the pandemic. I also purchased a wiring harness to power the trailer lights from etrailer and after some doing have it working well. The cost of doing it myself was a small fraction of having the dealership do the work. The hitch receiver is easy to install as there are pre drilled holes to receive bolts in the frame. The wiring is a bit more complicated but I did it. God bless online videos. I'm happy with the results.
Review from a similar Fusion in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Didn't realize the ball was permanently attached to the hitch, as I bought this with the intention of flipping it and using it as a rise hitch. 2" drop too low for my application. Not really worth the hassle of returning, and I guess the fault lies with me.

This is my 2nd time using etrailer. The first was for a Thule cargo box. They are a great company to deal with.

I wasn't aware that the ball was welded to the mount. I wouldn't have purchased it had I looked closer at the pictures before ordering. Otherwise nice curt product as usual.

Review from a similar Fusion in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Exactly as advertised! Good quality bitch ball. I need a couple of inches lift. My car sits a little low, for towing a trailer. I plan on buying a light kayak trailer. I have a 2019 VW Tiguan. This one looks like it will work perfectly.

Spoke with Alex and within 5 minutes we were able to identify the products I needed. He also helped us with our sales tax exempt certificate to apply to the order. The products shipped the same day I called.

The hitch that we ordered did everything it was supposed to do. It is a very well made and heavy duty hitch....
Review from a similar Fusion in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
This was the right set up for my 2018 4Runner. Works great. As a footnote, I now have a second vehicle for towing (2019 Tundra 4X4). Using the measuring process provided by etrailer folks, I found the same ball works great on the Tundra.
Thanks!

Great price, fast delivery. That's all I want, really. If I had to find a complaint it would be they used a big box for one pair of wiper blades. Wasteful, but not that big a deal. I have nice dogs, don't I? :)
Review from a similar Fusion in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Perfect height for my 2020 Honda Pilot to clear the bumper and raise my boat trailer to a level position. Looks well made and strong.

I could not be happier with this ball and hitch. I highly recommend the ball and hitch and so easy to install.
Review from a similar Fusion in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
This is the third time I have purchased from etrailer. I have installed the hitches myself each time. Their customer service is excelent. Always a knowledgable person on the phone. They have been helpful during install to answer any questions. I would highly recommend!
Review from a similar Fusion in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
The ball mount works great! Super easy to use, and works securely when towing a trailer. The rise was the right height I needed for towing. I've heard good things about etrailer's customer service, but they weren't very helpful for me. Twice my order wasn't going to be ready by the estimated delivery date. But the product itself is solid.
