What's up, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Curt trailer ball. When it comes to trailer balls, there's a couple of things we need to consider. One, we want to make sure it's the right size for our coupler. And this one is a two-inch trailer ball. So you wanna look on the top of your coupler.
Typically, it's going to say what size it is. So just check that, make sure it's the right size. Two, we want to make sure that the ball is gonna be able to handle what we plan on using it with. So this one has a capacity of 12,000 pounds. So we're probably not gonna overload this thing.
Another thing we kind of want to think about is the ball mount that we're using it with. Make sure if you do plan on kind of maxing out this trailer ball, make sure that the hitch receiver is going to be able to handle that weight as well. With this specific setup, yes, the ball is rated for 12,000 pounds, but our ball mount is not. So between the two, the lowest number is 7,500, so that's what we're limited to. If we're willing to max this ball out, what we'd have to do is grab a ball mount that's gonna be able to handle 12,000 pounds as well.
So something to kind of think about. Also the holes that the ball goes down through, the shank, we do want to make sure that it's going to have a diameter of one inch. That's how big the shank is. We don't want anything any bigger, just because there'll be a lot of play. And anything smaller of course, it's not really gonna fit.
Another thing about the shank, we are gonna make sure that we grab a ball mount that's not going to be too thick for it. The shank is about two and a quarter inches long. So we want to make sure that we can get a thickness of at least three eighths of an inch. So those are all the things you kinda have to think about whenever picking out the right combo, you know, you need a lot more components than just the ball, and we have them here at etrailer. So just use that information to piece together your system, so you can be towing properly. And that's basically it for a look at the Curt two inch trailer ball..

Durable steel ball has a 1" diameter x 2-1/4" long shank. Built-in wrench flats ease installation. Chrome finish resists corrosion. Fine threads provide strong grip. Lock washer and nut included.What to say about a hitch ball? It went on the mount easily and quickly. All parts and instructions were included, packaged well, and in perfect condition. Delivery was fast. Price was excellent and the customer services was even better! Thanks to Paula S. And etrailer for another great experience.
Very professional and received in two days. Also ordered an extended ball hitch which came in the same package. I called and discussed the extended ball hitch vs a hitch extension and she answered all my questions and I got the correct solution for my issue. Highly recommend etrailer
I neeed to pull a trailer with my 2019 GMC Yukon. I found Etrailer.com and followed the instructions on determining the drop of the hitch, the instructions were spot on. I hooked up my trailer to my Yukon today, all was level and worked perfectly. I had driven around to Napa, Lowe’s, Home Depot and Walmart, and nobody had the 9” drop hitch I needed. Came back to Etrailer, bought the 2” ball and pin, and the Curt 9” drop hitch. I received the items quickly. Great website, Thanks, Craig
We are happy with our whole package including hitch, receiver, wiring and ball mounts.
Shipping box was badly damaged which resulted in the hitch paint being chipped in a few places
Super impressed with the service and timeliness of your organization. Found y’all randomly on google and you are super legit. Helpful website, helpful recs, customer reviews. Customer service great too. Forgot part of my order (wiring harness) and it was overnighted, arrived on time. Everything on point. Keep it up. The hitch itself was easy enough to install. Had to really use some PBlaster on the rear most holes and ended up needing an impact to get the job done. Beware kinda hard with just hand tools if the receiving holes are rusty,
The hitch ball fit beautifully into the trailer hitch and is rated to tow 5,000 pounds, which well exceeds what I need for my 18' motor boat.
I received this hitch the next day during the vivid-19 pandemic. It was very easy to install. 2020 Subaru Outback Pull the small rear panel off the bumper, remove 6 bolts and slip the hitch in between the bumper bar and the frame, tighten the new bolts in (not the stock bolts) and put everything back together. The reason there is a open hole on the hitch is because you cannot remove the bumper bar without removing the whole back end which would be a royal pain. The brake wiring connector is right on the rear part of the spare tire compartment on the passenger side. It was hard to find but it just all snapped together. Awesome product, awesome service!!
I know the finish won’t last but I was hoping I’d get a little longer out of it. It just seems like it aged very quickly and I even greased it to save it a bit although you’re not supposed to for general trailer safety. Still works though… don’t know what else you could ask. If you buy one, but from etrailer. No better site on the internet
Does everything a hitch ball should! Shines when not in use and pulls the trailer when in use.
Gwen Y knew exactly what I needed and I didn't have to ask any stupid questions...Gwen Y deserves a raise!!!
Suffice to say after 3 or 4 years and a number of purchases I have never had an unhappy experience with etrailer
Seems like a quality piece that was made by someone who cared. The finish was even and consistant. The threads were smooth as silk without the slightest bind as the nut was threaded up the shank by hand. If it holds up in use (resists corrosion) it will be just that much better. The 12,000 lb load capacity should handle the 1,650 lb camper I'll be pulling :-)
This product worked great. Although it wasn't the way I planned it, the first time I used this trailer mount, I towed my car 1600+ miles round trip.
Great product, made solid, sure to give me many years trailering my Harley!!!!!! Thanks e-trailer!
Well honestly it’s just a hitch ball. The 5 stars go to etrailer and their customer service. The first ball I ordered was back ordered and I received an email within minutes of placing my order with a replacement suggestion. Always shop here first, you won’t be disappointed!
Seems to be of good quality. No issues.
Has held up well after roughly 30k miles of use with 8-11k lbs pulling a skidsteer and dump trailer.
Order was processed super fast and hitch/ball is perfect for our gator!
Bought this heavy duty ball for extra security towing a 7000 GVWR dovetail. It fits the hitch and receiver insert perfectly and looks new after several 100 mile tows.
High strength at a fair cost
What a great experience. I was surprised to get an email from customer service noting a potential mistake I made concerning part incompatibility in my order (wrong hitch ball size). I was very grateful she caught that and quickly responded to my request that the correct part be substituted. My only concern now is how I'm supposed to deal with all the other companies when the bar for customer service has been raised so high.
Worked well, very shiny, exactly as adv ertised
Does take the sharp shock out of take off and braking. I am using this ball mount on a surge brake system and seems to work fine. A little expensive but worth it in my opinion for spec weights it can handle and additional feature of shock control. I purchased the 12K lb. Curt ball #40038 to go on mount and they are great match for pulling 6,500 lb. boat and trailer. I have more piece of mind than my previous 5K lb. spec ball and mount.
Great service and product just like all the reviews say. Thanks a lot got the mount the ball and the lock arrived fast and fit perfect. I think they will work great.
