Today we're going to be taking a look at part number C45250. This is a Curt ball mount for 2 inch hitches, rated at 7500 pounds. This ball mount is going to let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank portion is going to slide into the trailer hitch receiver on your vehicle. The ball platform is going to provide a good mounting location for your hitch ball. Hitch balls are sold separately. If you don't have one, you should check out some options here on our website. You can use this mount in either the drop or rise positions.
It's going to be made from a sturdy steel construction. You can see here that that shank is completely hollow. You can see all the way through there. It's going to have a nice, corrosion resistant, high gloss, black, powder-coat finish. Once you have this inside your hitch, you're going to need to secure it right here with the hitch pin and clip or hitch pin and lock. Those items are sold separately.
You can find them here with part number C21500. It's going to be your standard 5/8 inch pin that comes with the clip. Or for your pin and lock, you can use part number 7683. Curt makes this mount in the USA. It's designed for 2 inch x 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. It's going to offer a gross towing weight of 7500 pounds with a maximum towing weight of 750 pounds. A few measurements to go over with you real quick.
Measuring from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole, that's going to give us a measurement of 12-1/4 of an inch. The overall length, measuring from edge to edge measures about 16-5/8 of an inch. With it installed in this position, measuring from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform, this is going to be the rise that it offers. It's going to offer a rise of 3/4 of an inch, which is also going to be the drawbar thickness. If you have it installed in the drop position, just like this, measuring from top of the shank to the top of the ball platform, it's going to give you a drop of 2 inches. The ball hole diameter on this mount is going to give us a diameter of 1 inch. When using the hitch ball, you want to make sure the shank of the hitch ball is the same as the ball hole diameter right here. Curt is going to cover this with a limited lifetime warranty.
Real quick, I just want to show you how easily it installs. I'm just going to take it, slide it into the receiver tube of our hitch, until we get our pin holes to line up with one another. Then we'll secure it using our 5/8 inch pin and clip on the other side. That's going to do it for our review of part number C45250. This is the Curt ball mount for 2 inch hitches. .

Always great products and great pricing. Not to mention super fast delivery.
it could have been packed better. it was almost out of the box
I needed to replace a hitch drawbar that had a 3" drop to level my off road trailer during towing so I chose this one from etrailer, and as with every other time that I have ordered from etrailer the product quality and ease of ordering was excellent. I have been ordering products from etrailer for several years and I have never had an issue with the quality of their products or the ordering process.
well pleased with hitch bar. etrailer had more selection than anyone else.
This longer draw bar has eliminated car to trailer interference I used to get when making sharp turns with my two kayaks on a short trailer.

This unit was perfect for my application. It arrived in two days. Have used e trailer many times and have no complaints.
Works good for clearance of the spare t ire.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Review from a similar Curt Steel Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I have two of these. My first I bought two years ago. I very highly recommend this Curt Class III Ballmount 2" Drop because of its price, durability and quality. I towed various class 3 loads with ease and confidence with this ballmount. It slides into the hitch and does its job without fail. It looks excellent after towing a load.
etrailer's price is about as good as it gets and delivery is very speedy.
Review from a similar Curt Steel Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Not easy to find a 16k lb load rated Class IV rated ball mount for 2" hitches. Was happy to find it. My hitch is only rated to 11k lbs, but opted for this one for peace of mind. Shank and ball mount is solid steel (not bent)l. Functional load rating is printed on a sticker (not etched on the shank). Was a bit bummed about that, but for the price, thought it was worth it. Upon receipt, black paint had chipped off in some areas and required a touch-up. Made in China. If you get one of these, you will also need to buy some kind of hitch clamp/shim.

This was a real saver for me. I traded up to a taller vehicle and my old ball mount was not long enough to tow the trailer horizontally. The new ball mount and ball solved the problem

Perfect height for my boat trailer on 2021 Toyota Rav 4 Adventure with EcoHitch. Quick service and easy ordering.
Review from a similar Curt Steel Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
This hitch receiver was extremely high quality and easy to install as advertised. The wiring kit was also easy enough to plug in to my existing wiring harness. This is my second hitch receiver purchased from etrailer and I'm very satisfied!
Review from a similar Curt Steel Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
This was the perfect hitch length for my F-150 allowing me to open tailgate all the way down without having to unhitch trailer. Wouldn’t watch to go any longer though.
Review from a similar Curt Steel Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I purchased this hitch to pull my utility trailer with. It was easy to order, arrived on time, and simple to install/use. This hitch is built very well and strong, and has a good coating finish on it. Great product!
Review from a similar Curt Steel Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Box had a hole in it where hitch ball came through. Other than a couple of scratches there was no damage. Maybe how you ship might need to change. Thanks
Review from a similar Curt Steel Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
This thing looks hollow in these pictures but I assure you it is solid metal through and through . Very heavy piece and I now realize I made the right choice. The one thing I didn't like about it is the fact you can't find a ball with the correct size shaft to fit the hole precisely , so the one you have to use makes the lock washer sit at a canter in the hole above the nut, its a good thing my shaft has a cotter pin..

Review from a similar Curt Steel Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Bulletproof chunk of steel. Excellent quality and the finish is holding up well in the saltwater environment where it is used.
Review from a similar Curt Steel Ball Mount in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I was disappointed in this Curt-It was just oversized enough to keep it from slipping into my 2-inch hitch-it wasn't the paint-just wouldn't fit-to be fair it may have been the new extension used as it was a mess. I am giving it 5 stars because I think it is a fluke of some kind. The welds on this lets you know it is a quality product.
