This hitch is a solid addition to our towing equipment. We use this hitch with our F-150 to tow our Apex Nano trailer. We ordered the hitch from eTrailer as they always have the right equipment for the job. It was delivered on the day promised. eTrailer is a trusted advisor for anything related to towing equipment or wiring.
Comments
Excellent. It is the best hitch we have owned. Solid steel means more control when we tow our trailer. It stores perfectly in our truck toolbox when not in service.

I had a great experience ordering from you. Your organization kept me
completely up to date with the order & shipping process and delivered the exact products I ordered. Attached is a photo of the 16,000 lbs capacity hitch and 30,000 lbs 2 5/16 ball you sold me in use. The boat and trailer total about 12,000 pounds. Thanks again.
by: Eric in NC09/09/2016
I had no idea a regular old slide receiver ball mount wouldn't work for for my trailer. It turns out that my old reese ball mount from Wal-Mart was underrated and thus cracked within 2" of the ball. Thanks etrailer for making hitch grade easy to understand and potentially saving me and my family's life.
by: Tim01/21/2013
I was at a farm meeting and university rep. was pointing out the dangers in hauling trailers without proper hitch assemblies.The local hardware chains do not have products made for heavy farm trailers.You guys do have all the equipment anyone needs for this type of hauling.Was happy to correct my light setup before something bad happened.Ignorance is not bliss.

Very happy with the product and the confidence knowing the hitch is well engineered to handle any load I hook to it

A great product , from a great company! I will be telling many people I know about this site and staff interaction!...( my box arrived when they said it would !...it was on time, but the box was a little beat up, and the hardware was missing out of it,...I called, and the service department was happy to send a replacement!...thank you!)
by: Dan09/30/2019
WOW! I wanted to purchase a really strong ball mount and this one exceeds my expectations! I also purchased in my order the folding wheel chocks which were made of metal. My plan is to mount those permanently on my car hauler trailer so that when I put the car on, I just drive up against these chocks. This makes loading my car super easy. I really like doing business with etrailer because every order I’ve ever placed his arrived quickly and been with products that are excellent quality.
by: Matthew06/28/2018
Bought one of the same ball mounts for another vehicle. Didn't see a reason to change what was working. The only change I made was flipping it over and using it as a 1" rise instead of a 2" drop mount.
by: Rich06/21/2017
Awesome customer service! They upgraded my shipping for free so I got my hitch sooner than expected. This was the most affordable place I could find this either locally or on the internet. Will be using etrailer nextime I have any trailer needs at all.
by: Royce11/23/2015
I needed a 2 inch drop for my tandem axle trailer to ride correctly but I could not find a ball mount locally to fit my application. An etrailer customer service team member pulled this item from their warehouse, took a couple measurements over the phone to assure me of a correct fit, and shipped it that afternoon. I pulled the trailer last weekend and this solid ball mount from Draw-Tite did the trick.
If you have a question, just call 'em. Thanks etrailer!
by: Matthew W.10/13/2017
Needed a stronger ball mount for pulling my stock trailer. This one is perfect. The original I had dropped too much as well. But, be careful, this is one heavy chunk of forged steel.
Comments
Everything is working magnificently. Thank you for checking up with me.
Matthew W - 10/13/2018by: Russell09/22/2015
The forged ball mount is exactly what I wanted, very heavy duty. I also bought a hitch ball and trailer hitch receiver lock. Thank you etrailer for great products at a great price and very fast shipping!!!
by: David H.08/07/2017
Caught this item on sale for less than $30.00. Great price for a solid steel ball mount.
by: Edmund 09/27/2021
It does the job.
by: Jason C07/23/2015
Sold.
Black.
16K.
1" rise
2" drop.
Not sure what else to put, if you need something this heavy duty, then it works. If you only need a 6K hitch, it'll work for that too.
16K bumper pull is insane. My total truck and trailer is 13800, so better to have excess capacity than be near or over.
by: Joe02/11/2018
This ball mount is not your typical square stock, it is a solid piece of steel and heavy! I am using it with a class 4 Curt hitch. It fits well into receiver and ball mount nicely without excessive play.
by: Edward09/09/2018
Solid one piece of steel and coated. No welding. Also can use it as a high hitch or low hitch with approx 3 inch difference. Works great for my trailer rv
by: Bob Beran03/25/2011
Hitch looks good. One issue that I think may be something to think about. The hitch that I ordered is rated @ 16,000. There is no where on the hitch that the weight is stamped. This could be problematic when I get inspected by the DOT and have to try and convenience them that the hitch is rated for the 14,000 # trailer that it is connected to.
by: Steve L08/23/2015
I've made about 5 purchases from etrailer over the past couple of years , and their prices have been excellent . No company which I have ever dealt with , matches their fast service. Etrailer puts most companies to shame , when it comes to speedy , friendly service. If they have what I want , they'll always have my business.
by: Mike M.10/23/2012
I bought this knowing it exceeds my trucks tow rating, but I wanted the extra peace of mind knowing I have double the protection. It is solid hitch that will outlast me.
by: D. Wolf07/13/2014
I recently purchased a larger boat (approx. 8,000 lb with trailer and gear) and needed a heavier duty ball mount. No complaints....the ball mount is solid and does its job.
by: Nick04/12/2019
Great heavy duty hitch!
by: crbearden11/15/2017
I use this when pulling heavy fertilizer spreaders behind my truck. It is not unusual to have 8000lbs on a spreader. My Coop manager says it it sht heaviest hitch he has ever seen around here.
by: DEAN04/06/2013
The forged trailer ball mount was heavy duty good. It is very solid and wont worry about any overload issues with this. Thanks
by: Jack T.05/16/2013
This has to be the mother of all Ball Mounts! Very pleased with purchase and the excellent shipping. Will hook up with etrailer again when needed.
Thanks Guys

This item is really stout, and will give peace of mind when towing my 10,000 pound boat and trailer.

The goal is to pick a ball mount that will allow your trailer to be towed as level as possible. To see how to pick out the correct ballmount rise/drop check out the FAQ article I attached to the right. It covers everything.

view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendation for Draw Tite Hitch for 2007 Toyota TundraIt sounds like maybe you are looking for just a ball mount to go along with a hitch that you have installed on your 2007 Toyota Tundra. The recommended ball mount to go along with the hitches that are sold for the 2007 Toyota Tundra is the Draw Tite part # 40330. This ball mount can do a rise of 1 inch and a drop of 2 inches. The best way to pick out a ball mount is to first determine how much rise or drop you would need to tow your trailer level. To see how this would be done check out...
view full answer... - Weathertech Cargo Mat # WT40330 DimensionsThe dimensions of the Weathertech cargo mat part # WT40330 that you referenced are 46.9 inches by 39 inches.
view full answer... - Is a Ball Mount Spacer Available for a Hitch Ball with a 1 Inch Diameter ShankTo use the Curt 2 Inch Trailer Ball, # 40038, with the Draw-Tite Forged Ball Mount, # 40330, you will want to use the Reese Hitch Ball Bushing, # 58184. This will not reduce the towing or tongue weight capacity of the hitch ball or the ball mount, but you will be limited to the 12,000 lb towing capacity of the hitch ball since it is the lowest rated component.
view full answer... - Ball Mount Reducer Bushing for a Forged Ball Mount with 1 Inch Thick Ball PlatformYes, you will need reducer bushing # RP80106. It was designed for forged ball mounts that are 1 inch thick like # 40330. Using this bushing will allow you to use a ball with a 1 inch diameter shank.
view full answer... - Is Adjustable Ball Mount Available That Uses Hitch Ball With 1-1/4 Inch ShankThe ball mounts we offer that use a ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank are all fixed mounts like part # 40330, This ball mount features a 1 inch rise or 2 inch drop and is rated for up to 16,000 lbs. Another ball mount that uses a 1-1/4 inch ball shank is part # 40331. This features a 3 inch rise or 4 inch drop. We do not offer an adjustable ball mount that can accommodate a hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank.
view full answer... - Availability of 2 Inch Ball Mount With a Rise Between 3/4 Inch and 1-1/4 InchThe least amount of rise for a 2 inch ball mount would be 3/4 inch, like the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 2923. This is one of the most popular ball mounts. The next size up would be a 1 inch rise, like the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 40330. I am including links to product pages that will list the ball mounts with a 3/4 inch rise and with a 1 inch rise. You will want to make sure the gross towing weight capacity and the tongue weight capacity of the ball mount you choose should match...
view full answer... - Diversi Tech Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2006 Ford VanThe most popular ball mount for the Curt Hitch # 14055 is the Forged Ball Mount # 40330 which has a distance of 8-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. While the Diversi-Tech Adjustable Ball Mount # DTSTBM6400 has the same distance of 8-1/2 inches. Based on that you should have no problem using a # DTSTBM6400.
view full answer... - 50 mm Hitch Ball Recommendation for a 2 inch Trailer HitchThe only 50 mm hitch ball we offer is the part # 63912 with a 3/4 inch diameter shank that would only fit 1-1/4 inch ball mounts, but a 2 inch hitch ball translates to 50.8 mm. Which is very close. Since you have a 2 inch hitch your best option would be a 2 inch hitch ball like the part # A-90 and a ball mount like the # 40330 for if you need a 1 inch rise or 2 inch drop. If you need a different rise/drop you would want to check out the help article I attached on how to pick out the correct...
view full answer... - Higher Capacity Ball Mount Recommendation for Chevy Truck Towing 7,000 lb TrailerIf your trailer weighs 7,000 lbs and you have a ball mount with a 5,000 lb capacity you will need to upgrade to a higher capacity ball mount like the part # C45341 that you referenced. Then for a hitch ball you would need the part # 63840 which is a 2-5/16 inch ball with a 20k capacity that will fit the ball mount. You will need to ensure that you go with a ball mount that has the right amount of rise/drop to tow your trailer level too. I attached a help article that covers that as well.
view full answer... - Can Curt Forged Ball Mount Be Flipped For More Height When Towing Car TrailerI called my contact at Curt and they told me that you can use the Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount, part # C45331 flipped over if you wish but you will probably have a heck of a time removing the ball. They said the ball is machine-torqued at 450 ft-lbs when it is attached to the drawbar. An option that may be easier on you would be to use a different ball mount and ball. The ball mount I recommend is part # 40330. This ball mount has a 1 inch rise or 2 inch drop and a weight capacity...

She stated that it will fit around the spare tire when installed. I have included a link to the installation details below as well as a video showing installation on a similar vehicle. If you plan on doing some towing, the recommended ball mount is # 40330 and hitch ball # A-90 (2 inch diameter) or # 19286 (2-5/16 inch diameter). For trailer wiring, use # 118551, or if you have the factory...
view full answer... - Can the End of a Ball Mount Be Trimmed Down to Fit in a Trailer Hitch on a 1999 GMC YukonPart of what gives ball mount # 40330 its capacity is the amount of material inside of the receiver. By trimming it down it makes the capacity unknown and could compromise the structural integrity of the ball mount. Also, it is a solid steel shank so trimming it is no small task! The best option is a new ball mount that is a better fit. I recommend B&W ball mount # BWBMHD30010. It has the same rise and drop spec, same weight rating (though the tongue weight capacity is limited to 1,600...

view full answer... - 2-5/16 Hi-Rise Ball Options For Additional HeightWe have 2 high rise hitch balls that have the 2-5/16 inch diameter, and they both have the 1-1/4 inch shank. We have the 2 inch rise # C40034 and the 1 inch rise # C40033. There is not a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball that has a 1 inch shank. If you want a ball mount that will work with this, I recommend the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 1" Rise, 2" Drop - 8-1/2" Long - 16K # 40330.
view full answer... - Square Corner Ball Mounts Will Not Fit in Factory Trailer Hitch to 1993 Ford F-250 DieselWhat you are describing is a common problem with some factory hitches. You are correct, you do not want to grind away any of the metal of a ball mount to get it to fit. Removing some of the powder coat is acceptable provided you do not also remove any metal. What I recommend is looking for a ball mount with the more rounded corners. A ball mount like # BM20 has more rounded corners but it is rated for 10,000 pounds whereas the mount you referenced is rated for 16K. Cushioned ball mount...
view full answer... - Replacement Hitch Ball to Increase Ball HeightIt is always important to keep your trailer level when hitched to your tow vehicle and the two simplest ways to accomplish this are either a high-rise hitch ball such as the two you reviewed, parts # C40033 and # C40034, or a ball mount with the amount of rise you need. Either option will work. The hitch balls you referenced are shown in the linked photo; I have added the dimension above the mounting surface for each ball.

- How Much Does the Forged Ball Mount # 40330 WeighThe Forged Ball Mount # 40330 that you referenced weighs 17 lbs. I attached a review video for this ball mount for you to check out. For a 2-5/16 inch ball you would want a part # 19286, for a 2 inch ball part # A-90, for a pin and clip # PC3.
view full answer... - Ball Mount For Factory Class IV Hitch Has Play on 2011 Dodge Ram Big HornWith a Class IV Hitch, you should have a 2 x 2 receiver. You should be using a ball mount designed for 2 inch receivers like the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 40331 or # 40330. The ball mount will have some play when mounted to the hitch because of the difference in tolerances between the shank of the ball mount and the receiver opening. Both may be within specs but up to a certain tolerance, one may be within the tolerance but on the high side, and the other in spec on the low side. Yes,...

We offer 1-1/4-inch Class II and also 2-inch hitches rated up to Class V, such as the Draw-Tite # 41945. For a 4-pole wiring harness use # 118344 and for a ball mount use part # 40330. For a 2-inch hitch ball use # A-90 or for a 2-5/16-inch ball use # 19286. The linked articles on hitches may be of interest.

They told me the Curt Class V hitch, part # C15312 is designed to fit your truck if it has the factory cutout bumper. They told me that the cutout is the recessed area on the bumper where the license plate typically goes. this hitch has a 2 inch receiver opening. This hitch should sit right below the bumper and would be just what you are looking for. If you need a ball mount for the hitch I recommend...

The OEM hitch can be completed so to speak using the Curt # 13333 which would provide a capacity of 6,000 lb gross towing/ 600 lb tongue weight. In order to achieve a higher tongue weight capacity (10,000 GTW/1,00TW), you would need to use the Curt Class IV # 14374 that uses the frame members for its two forward-most attachment points and the bumper beam for its rear attachment...
