Ask the Experts about this Curt Trailer Hitch Ball Mount

• Hitch Ball Compatibility with European Model of Thule Easyfold XT
  The 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...

• Availability of a 2-Inch Version of the Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar with 2-Inch Ball # C45572
  The 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...

• Recommended Euro-Style Ball Mount for a 2015 Nissan Altima with Curt Class I Trailer Hitch
  The 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...

• Using Curt # C45572 Euro Ball Mount in Draw-Tite Class I Receiver Hitch
  The Curt # C45572 ball mount will fit in your receiver, and will slide in far enough for the hitch pin to slide into place. 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...

• Comparing Actual Height Rise of Curt Class II Euro Ball Mounts C45572 and C45562
  The 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...

• How to Pick Out the Correct Rise/Drop Euro Ball Mount
  In 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...

• Choosing the Right Curt Class II Euro Style Ball Mount to Tow a Trailer Level
  If 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...

• Does the Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar with 2" Ball Come with a Hitch Pin and Clip
  The 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 Master Lock # 1472DAT 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.

• Ball Mount Recommendation for a Factory Trailer Hitch on a 2011 Toyota Sienna
  On hitches that we have installed on a 2011 Toyota Sienna, we have found that the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to clear the rear bumper measured approximately 5-1/4 inches. 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...

• Recommended Class II Ball Mount for 2012 Kia Sorento w/ Dealer Installed Hitch
  The correct ball mount for your needs will depend on the height of your trailer coupler and the diameter of trailer ball you need. You'll want to choose a ball mount that will place the trailer ball at the correct height so that your trailer is towed level. I'll link you to an FAQ article that shows how to measure the height of the receiver and the height of the coupler. The difference between these two measurements is the rise or drop you'll need. A ball mount that would make things...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation and Capacity for a 2012 Honda Accord
  For your 2012 Honda Accord the Draw Tite Hitch # 24899 would be a great choice. This hitch has the capacities of 2,000 lb total trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. 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...

• Parts Needed to Tow a Boat Trailer with a 2017 Honda HR-V
  I'll be happy to help you get your 2017 Honda HR-V setup for towing a boat trailer! Whenever a 2" hitch receiver is available for a vehicle I usually recommend going that route just because it allows you to use a wider variety of accessories. So for a hitch I recommend using the EcoHitch # 306-X7322 which has the 2" receiver and a hidden crosstube, however since I know that pricing is always a factor if you wanted something a little more cost-effective I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch...

• Availability of 50mm to 2 Inch Hitch Ball Adapter
  We do not currently have an adapter similar to the Weigh Safe # WS07 that will convert your 50mm hitch ball to a 2 inch diameter ball. We do however have multi-fit couplers available like the Titan Zinc-Plated # T4845000 that will fit a variety of hitch ball sizes (1-7/8 inch, 2 inch, and 50mm). Otherwise, your best option might be to simply replace your existing ball mount with something like the Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar # C45572 if you have a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. This...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2018 Honda Fit Sport
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11406 is a fit for all 2018 Honda Fit models including the Sport. If you will be using this for a bike rack or other accessory, you will also need the stability strap # 18050 to keep your manufacturer warranty in tact. If you will be towing a light trailer, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56395 and ball mount # C45571 or # C45572.

• Can a 2012 Ford Focus Tow a 600 lbs Total Jon Boat?
  According to your owners manual, your 2012 Ford Focus should never tow a trailer and is not equipped to tow. Using a trailer hitch like # C11158 is ideally to be used for accessories like a bike rack. 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...

• Does 2017 Chevy Cruze Diesel Have Towing Capacity and Parts Needed to Tow Small Trailer
  I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2017 Chevy Cruze and on page 261 it states "The vehicle is neither designed nor intended to tow a trailer" so I cannot recommend you do so, though the decision is of course up to you. If you do decide to tow, then you will absolutely want to go with the lightest, smallest of the trailers. For a diesel model of '17 Cruze the available trailer hitch from Curt is part # C11492, and since you mentioned 2" ball I assume you are also using the...

• Trailer Hitch Compatible with 2012 Infinity M37
  The 2012 Infinity M37 is the rear wheel drive versus the M37X which is all wheel drive. This will not change the hitch fit at all, so the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11111 will absolutely fit your M37. It is an installation you can do yourself, but it does require removing the bumper and trimming an underbody panel. There is no drilling required and I've attached the installation details to assist. If you will be using this hitch for a bike rack...

• Towing Capacity and Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Honda Accord Coupe and CVT Transmission
  According to the online copy of your owner's manual, your 2013 Honda Accord Coupe has a maximum total trailer weight limit of 1,000 lbs. This includes the weight of the trailer, cargo, and everything inside or loaded on top of it. While CVT (continuous variable transmission) vehicles aren't ideal for trailer towing, as long as you adhere to the limits outlined in your owner's manual, you shouldn't have any problems. I suggest confirming this information on your hard copy of the owner's...

• I Need 50mm Hitch Ball With Curt Hitch To Meet European Standards
  I have a solution for you, but I do not recommend using the 2" hitch ball to take the place of the required 50mm hitch ball. If you are towing with a trailer that accepts that only the 50mm hitch ball, deviating from that recommendation could potentially cause towing issues. Since the 50mm ball is required, I recommend using the Curt Drawbar # C45521 with 50 mm Hitch Ball # 63912 with trailer hitch # C11337. That way if you are connecting to trailer that only accepts a 50 mm hitch ball...

• What is the Weight of the Curt Trailer Hitch 12343
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12343 has a shipping weight of 24-lbs; about 1-1/2 to 2-lbs of that is going to be the packaging. This hitch does come with all of the hardware needed to install your hitch. If you're going to be towing with this hitch, you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For the wiring I recommend using the Tekonsha # 118405 because I've found that the Tekonsha harness converter boxes are a bit more reliable over time. For the hitch ball...

  For a newer vehicle like yours I would go with the Curt hitch part # C11480 which is a confirmed fit and does not require any fascia trimming.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Honda Accord Coupe
  The Curt hitch part # C11681 is the most popular hitch we offer for your 2014 Honda Accord and only requires you trim the heat shield as far as permanent modifications go. There wouldn't be any drilling or rear bumper trimming. The exhaust does have to be temporarily lowered but that is pretty standard for trailer hitch installs.

  The Curt hitch part # C11773 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2002 Acura MDX and has no fit exclusions for versions of your vehicle based on exhaust style so it would fit and work well for you. For a 1,000 lb jetski and trailer this hitch would fit and work well. You really wouldn't need the additional capacity that a 2 inch hitch would provide so this would work well. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118336 which is a confirmed fit as well. For a ball mount...
