Video Transcript for All About the Curt Multi-Ball Mount w/ Tow Hook for 2" Hitches

Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Curt multi-ball mount with the included tow hook. This is designed for 2 inch by 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. This ball mount with the built-in hedge balls is going to let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank portion, which is this portion right here, it slights into the receiver tube of your hitch, and then the hitch balls are going to provide the connection point for your trailer coupler. This one is going to feature 3 differently sized hitch balls. That way you can tow trailers with different coupler sizes.

To switch between each ball, all you have to do is remove, rotate, and reinsert the draw bar. The hitch balls are welded to that draw bar or to that shank. Those are going to be chrome-plated steel balls that are permanently attached, and then on this side, we're going to have the sturdy tow hook that's going to provide an attachment point for a tow strap. The shank is a solid shank so it does not have a hollow design. It's a nice, solid design. It's extra strong and durable, steel construction, and it's going to have a black, powder-coated finish to resist rust and corrosion and last a long time.

When you're inserting this into your hitch, it's going to have a set of pin holes. You're going to have this set right here, which will be perfect for using the tow hook or for using the 2-5/16 inch ball, and then you're going to have this set right here, which is going to be perfect for using the 2 inch ball or the 1-7/8 inch ball. These pin holes will accept a standard 5/8 inch diameter pin. Your hitch pin and clip or hitch lock is sold separately, so if you're in need of something like that, you can check out some options here at etrailer.com. Again, this is designed for a 2 inch by 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. A few capacities to go over with you real quick.

When using the 1-7/8 inch ball, it's going to have a gross towing weight capacity of 3,500 pounds with a maximum tongue weight of 350 pounds. The 2 inch ball, the is going to have a gross towing weight of 5,000 pounds with a max tongue weight of 500 pounds. Then, the 2-5/16 inch ball is going to have a gross towing weight capacity of 10,000 pounds with a maximum tongue weight of 1,000 pounds. Then, when it comes to the capacity of the hook, that's going to have a capacity of 7,500 pounds. A few measurements that I just want to mention for you real quick. I took a measurement from the center of each pin hole location, so, for instance, if you're wanting to use the 2 inch ball or 1-7/8 ball, you're going to use this set right here, so from the center of these pin holes to the center of each one of those hitch balls, that's going to measure about 8 inches.

Then, if you're wanting to use the tow hook or the 2-5/16 inch ball, that's going to use this set of pin holes. From the center of that set of pin holes to the center of the 2-5/16 inch ball is going to measure about 6-3/4 of an inch. That's going to do it for today's look at the Curt multi-ball mount with tow hook for 2 inch hitches.
