Heavy duty! I was a little bummed when I found out how much more difficult it was to find a half inch pin for this, but no matter. It is a tad loose inside the hitch, so there's a little rattle, but I doubt it's as noticable as I make it seem. Super classy and a welcome change from the typical draw bar style. Goes great with my Volvo V70 T5. Thanks etrailer.com!

I installed this on a 2004 Volvo XC70 along with a hitch from etrailer. Both work extremely well for my use (small motorcycle trailer). There's enough clearance between the bumper and the ball to get the trailer connection onto it without scraping the bumper (which is not the case with a 2007 XC70 where I have a similar hitch installed but the bumper plastic is thicker). This drawbar is classy-looking and fits the simple European styling of the car well. Chrome finish on the ball is very tough and I haven't had any rust problems at all.

Product is exactly as represented, high quality manufacture and recommended. I already had a 1 7/8th ball of the same type but most rental trailers suit the 2 inch ball better so now I have both. The 1 7/8 ball tends to rattle even though the fittings work ok and I found that getting it tight enough to not lift off means the ball gets a groove worn in it. Using this for light (up to 2000 lb) towing behind my Ford Focus, works really well and towed 4*8 cargo trailer without any problem.

Still great, towed a Jacuzzi on a trailer from California to Texas in 21 hours without any issue, its solid and work great.

Great product, sturdy build quality. So far, so good. I have no problems with this hitch. This hitch is perfect for my GMC Terrain. etrailer customer service is outstanding also as my first hitch put a hole in the box during shipping, and an empty box was delivered. I called etrailer, and they sent out a new hitch right away. I have done business with etrailer in the past and will continue to buy from them. Great company.

Receiver hitch and trailer tongue scale arrived sooner than I thought. It seems like a lot of money for a little scale like that but it will be well worth it knowing how much weight is really on the motorhome hitch. I can finally know for sure and make adjustments. Thank you Etrailer.

Your product is a great item, its easy to understand instructions, and it fit right up to where it said it would fit. It's has great workmanship. The only problem I had was with the delivery of the product. They came one about 6:15 pm, and my gate was locked, and from there on it became a problem. I change the address to one of UPS, their own access point, and they could not get it to their own access point for a total of four days and 3 tries they still didnt get it right. Finally, I went to UPS distribution center in West Sacramento, where they told me that my box had busted opened and I told them to give it to me like that that they didn't have to repair the Box I would just look in there and pull out the items. It still remains to be seen if there's a items missing from that box.

The drawbar appears perfect. Haven't had a chance to use it but I don't anticipate any problem. The company seems to really care about their image which is a very good thing. In my opinion, the only weak point is their cost of freight and the time it took to arrive. I have to admit, I have been spoiled by the master .com company out there which deals in everything.

Ask the Experts about this Curt Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Recommended Euro-Style Ball Mount for a 2015 Nissan Altima with Curt Class I Trailer HitchThe recommended 2 inch Euro style ball mount for Curt trailer hitch # C11352 on a 2015 Nissan Altima is # C45572. I went out to the warehouse and pulled one to take some measurements. From the center of the pin hole to the part of the shank where it starts to bend up is 3 inches. This will work because the rear bumper on the Altima tapers upward above the hitch receiver. At 6-1/2 inches out from the center of the hitch pin hole, where the shank starts to bend straight up, it is at a...

- Availability of a 2-Inch Version of the Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar with 2-Inch Ball # C45572The Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar with 2-Inch Ball # C45572 that you referenced is intended specifically for a particular 1-1/4-inch Curt hitch with a Class II rating. This ball mount/ball combo is only usable with this size and class of hitch. It will not fit a Class I hitch (even though they too are the 1-1/4-inch size). Also, there is no equivalent product offered that will fit a 2-inch hitch, which typically has either a Class III or Class IV designation. However, we do offer...

However, Draw-Tite only recommends using the # 3593 ball mount in your hitch. I cannot recommend or endorse doing anything contrary to the manufacturer's recommendations. Also, keep in mind that the Curt Euro Ball Mount is rated for Class II, up to 3500 lbs. Your hitch is limited to 2000 lbs. You'll need to abide by the lowest rated component. Before attempting...
view full answer... - Hitch Ball Compatibility with European Model of Thule Easyfold XTThe US version of the EasyFold XT # TH903202 utilizes the trailer hitch receiver itself and not the hitch ball. The European style that fits onto the 50mm hitch ball has not been tested on a 2 inch hitch ball so I can't confirm the fit. I reached out to Thule and their North American tech group can't confirm the fit or not as they are not cross trained and don't have the ability to test fit the conversion. For a 50mm ball I recommend # 63912 for a standard ball mount like # 3593 for...

- Comparing Actual Height Rise of Curt Class II Euro Ball Mounts C45572 and C45562The nature of the Euro ball mount design, which has a curved shank and a shorter actual ball height than a free-standing hitch ball like # 19258, can allow for multiple interpretations of the actual rise. Not to worry. What I did for you was go to our warehouse and measure these two items. For the time being please ignore the specs and if you would use the following dimension I took on each ball mount. What I did was measure the distance from the TOP of the square shank to the TOP of...
view full answer... - How to Pick Out the Correct Rise/Drop Euro Ball MountIn order to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount to use with the Curt Hitch part # C11377 you will need to take a couple measurements. The goal is to have your trailer towed as level as possible. In order to do that the correct rise/drop ball mount needs to be used. To pick out the correct one you will need to measure the distance from the top of your hitch opening to the ground and then with your trailer sitting as level as possible measure from the bottom of the coupler to the...
view full answer... - Choosing the Right Curt Class II Euro Style Ball Mount to Tow a Trailer LevelIf you are measuring to the top of the coupler then I will have to ask for the measurement to the bottom of the coupler instead. This is because the coupler covers the ball so the measurement to the bottom of the coupler provides a more accurate representation of what kind of rise or drop is needed to tow a trailer level. I am willing to bet that the measurement to the bottom of the coupler will have you at just about level. That would make the best Curt Euro-style ball mount with a...

I do not know what the factory installed hitch measurement is, so you will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole back to the distance required to clear the rear bumper. The Curt Euro-Style ball mount, # C45572, measures 7-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole...
view full answer... - Does the Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar with 2 Ball Come with a Hitch Pin and ClipThe Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar with 2" Ball # C45572 does not come with a hitch pin and clip. For that you can use either part # F-4 for the standard hitch pin and clip or the etrailer # e98880 for a locking hitch pin. Attached are review videos for each product listed as well as a link to one of our helpful articles about ball mounts you can check out to make sure the 2-5/8" rise is correct for your application.

When determining the towing capacity of a vehicle the lowest rated component will be the actual towing capacity since a setup is only as strong as it's weakest part. You will need to check the towing capacity for your vehicle in the owners manual and you will need to go with the lower capacity between the hitch and the...

Your vehicle has a payload rating between 935 and 1,055 lbs so if somehow you fit it inside your vehicle Ford would be okay with it. I personally would tow that trailer (but not anything larger than the jon boat) and you would be operating outside of Ford's warranty and recommendation. Based...
