I just received this hitch and am immediately impressed. It is very sleek and well made. My trailer and vehicle look great with it - much less bulky than traditional hitch ball assembly. A nice feature is clear labeling with ball size on top of ball. Looks like it will hold up but I have not used to tow yet.



by:

100's of miles on it and all is well.



by:

excellent build quality. I already have one on another car, and that one has weathered well. Looks much cleaner than conventional ball mount with bolt on ball. Note It is fairly long, compared to the shortest available conventional ball mount.



by:

Very nice product! Appears like the European models. That is what I was looking to obtain. Will be used for show on my 1957 Triumph TR3.



by:

This is an excellent Ball. Solid construction. I haven't used it a lot, so I don't know about longevity. It works perfectly for pulling my small jon boat.



by:

Fits well with my Ford Tuarus and seems to work fine with my European bike rack.



by:

A very nice euro ball mount, nicely painted and quite hard. I returned it because the C45571 fit my Nissan Rogue Select better (better height and didn't stick out as far.



by:

My motercycle trike is manufactured in Germany so the tow ball is a fitting addition to my trike.



by:

The only draw bar that works with a 2005 Pontiac sunfire.

Works perfect on the back of my 04 mustang v6.

  • Determining Ball Mount and Wiring for 2011 Honda Pilot Towing European Trailer
    The products you need really will depend on the trailer itself. You will need to check out the coupler on the trailer as well as the wiring harness. This will let you determine which wiring connection you need as well as the ball mount style and ball size. It may be possible that you could use a standard ball mount like the # 2753 you were looking at. You would also require a ball so you could use the # 63845 for a 2" ball. Some European trailers and accessories require a Euro style ball...

  • Can Hitch Ball Size Be Changed Out on Curt Euro Style Ball Mount
    Thanks for reaching out, John! The Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar # C45552 has a 2" hitch ball. The hitch ball is fixed and can't be removed so if you want this style and you need to be able to use both a 1-7/8" and 2" hitch ball you'll need to also get the part # C45551 so you have 2 different ball mounts. For an alternative solution I recommend pairing the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45521 with the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set # 802b which gives you a way to swap out the hitch...

  • Class II Curt Hitch Fit for 2013 Cadillac SRX
    For your 2013 Cadillac SRX the Curt Class II hitch part # C12070 is a confirmed fit and would work well. Since you have the port for the trailer wiring the Curt harness part # 56096 would fit and work well. For a 2 inch hitch ball ball-mount you would want the part # C45552 or for 1-7/8 inch part # C45551.

  • Measuring the Rise/Drop Needed for Ball Mount to Tow a Trailer with a Trike
    If you take the 2.625 inches you mentioned for the ball (measured from the top of the receiver opening) and subtract the ball diameter (1-7/8 inches) then the rise you would need is approximately 3/4 inches for which I recommend the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45519. Rise and drop measurements are not measured to the top of the ball. They are measured from the top of the receiver opening to the platform on which the ball sits because the coupler comes down and over the ball, plus, there are...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 1992 Mercedes 400E
    There is a special circumstance when using a Class I trailer hitch for towing. Basically you will have to use the ball mount specified by the hitch manufacturer or it can void the warranty. This is to ensure that the wrong ball mount is not used (which could be too much stress on a Class I hitch). Trailer hitch C11085 does not fit your 1992 Mercedes 400E. The hitch you need is # C11816. The recommended ball mount for this hitch is # C45503. For a compatible 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256...

  • Ball Mount that Fits 1-1/4 inch Hitch with 1-7/8 inch Hitch Ball
    The closest ball mount we have to the # RP7043000 that has a 1-7/8 inch ball we have the Euro style Curt ball mounts like part # C45551 which has a 2-3/4 inch rise or the # C45581 which has a 3-1/4 drop.

  • Can a Euro Ball Mount be Used on a S Mini Cooper with the # 11130 Curt Hitch
    I spoke with my contact at Curt manufacturing and the Curt Euro Style Drawbar with 2-3/4 inch Rise, item # C45551, would be the correct Euro style ball mount for your Mini Cooper S. You will need to remember that the capacity of the hitch or vehicle, whichever is lowest, will be the maximum capacity for your vehicle, even though this drawbar is rated slightly higher. The # C45581 ball mount would be long enough, but it has a 3-1/4 inch drop and is not recommended for use on the Mini. The...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring and Ball Mount for 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12002 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. This is a Class II trailer hitch that will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a 3,500 pound towing capacity. I also recommend checking the towing capacity of your vehicle as listed in the owner's manual. I have attached the installation details for your review. Please note that Curt requires all non-trailer loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers to be supported...

  • Recommended Ball Mount for Harley Davidson with 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Receiver
    We currently do not carry any stainless steel or chrome ball mounts for the 1-1/4 inch receiver size. We do however have many options that have the black power coat similar to the frame of your Harley Davidson and chrome hitch ball options to give you that chrome accent. I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 1-1/4" Hitches - 2" Ball - 3/4" Rise - 3,500 lbs # C45147 or the euro ball style ball mount # C45552. Both of these give you a 2 inch hitch ball. If you want the 1-7/8 inch...

  • What Happens to Center Reverse Light When Hitch is Installed on a 2004 Mini Cooper
    The rear center light of your 2004 Mini Cooper will need to be removed to install the Curt hitch part # C11126. The hole where the light was is where the hitch opening will come out. Check out the install instructions link I attached for more info on how the hitch installs. For trailer wiring you would need the part # 119250KIT, for a ball mount # C45551 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or part # C45552 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Ball Mount to Use with Class II Hitch Towing Small Trailer
    Best option would be a ball mount that fits your Class II hitch directly and not to use a hitch adapter as they cut the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. We have the Euro style Class II ball mount with part # C45551 which has a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball and a 2-3/4 inch rise. We also have a pin and clip with part # F-4 to use to secure the ball mount to the hitch.

  • Will Curt Hitch C12111 fit a 2016 Ford Escape S Model
    I am pretty sure you mean to type 2016 Escape, but yes the Curt Hitch part # C12111 has been confirmed as a fit for all models of the 2016 Ford Escape so it would work well on your S model. For a hitch ball with a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball you would want the part # C45551 or for a 2 inch ball # C45552. For trailer wiring you would want the part # C56335.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for 1-7/8 Inch Trailer Coupler and 1997 Subaru Legacy Wagon
    The recommended ball mount for trailer hitch # C12270 is # C45519. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # A-80. Or another option is to use Euro ball mount # C45551.
