Today we're going to be taking a look at part number A dash eight zero. This is the Curt one and seven eighth inch hitch ball. It's made from a stainless steel construction. You can see here that it's going to include your nut and lock washer. It's got the wrench flats here on the side. That way you can get a wrench on there and get everything tightened down and installed according to the instructions, or the manufacturer's specifications. The shank diameter on this unit, is going to measure three quarters of an inch. Take a measurement of the shank length, from the bottom of the platform to the end of the threaded portion, it's going to be about two and one eighth of an inch. This unit is designed to fit draw bar thicknesses from three eighths of an inch, to seven eighths of an inch thick.
It's going to have a capacity of two thousand pounds. A few other measurements, real quick, that we'll go over, starting with the overall length. It's going to be about four and three quarters of an inch. And then measuring from the bottom of the platform to the top of the hitch ball, that looks like it's going to give us a measurement of about two and five eighths of an inch. Now when installing this, you're going to place this through the ball hole. Then you'd place on your lock washer, which is going to go on the under side of the draw bar, or that platform area. Then you'd place on your nut.
When tightening this down, you need to make sure you get it tightened to one hundred and sixty foot-pounds of torque. Failure to do so could result in hitch ball failure. That weight capacity, or that hundred and sixty foot-pound torque rating can be found in the specifications listed by the manufacturer that come with this product. That's going to do it for today's review of part number A dash eight zero. This is the Curt one and seven eighth inch hitch ball.

Durable stainless steel ball has a 3/4" diameter x 2-1/8" long shank. Built-in wrench flats ease installation. Stainless steel delivers superior corrosion resistance. Fine threads provide strong grip. Lock washer and nut included.The hitch ball is a very solid product as well, but I think I ordered the wrong size for the trailer that I will be getting this Sunday. The trailer I will get has a 2" ball hitch.
Very impressed with the professionalism and product knowledge that Justin B. addressed my special list of materials I needed to complete my project. The shipment just arrived today as promised and I couldn’t be happier. I will certainly be using the company in the future.
Super helpful ordering my first trailer hitch you made it easy thank you so much!
Would have been nice to receive the tracking number sooner and the 3 day shipping actually took 5 days
I'm so very glad I found etrailer, I purchased this hitch and a ball mount and was easily able to have it installed onto the car without the need to trim my vehicle's heat-shield. It looks as great as it is functional and adds a good bit of versatility to the vehicle as well as a nice cosmetic look when not in use. The hitch tucks nicely under the vehicle and supports weight well. I drive a Fiesta ST with already low clearance on the suspension, but am still able to tow a small trailer which is really nice to be able to do with a smaller vehicle. Excellent product and e-trailer was great to work with an answered any questions I had!
Both the wiring harness and hitch receiver were very easy to put on. The hardest part was separating the wiring clips from the rear lights to put the new adapter in. You have to be kind of physical with it to get it apart. Then the new ones just snapped right in. 20 minute job. The hitch receiver went right on in the pre-drilled/threaded holes in the chassis. This was on a 2006 Toyota Corolla S.
I got a Curt trailer hitch for my 2013 Civic Si. The product was delivered really fast and with everything as promised. The guys from etrailer included detailed step-by-step instructions for installation for my vehicle. I was able to install it by myself with one more person helping out. Very happy with my purchase.
A good product! This is the second hitch I have installed using etrailer and it went as well as the first. Not being a super skilled Tech it took longer than expected, but for me it was a project that needed to be done, and I enjoy a good project when it comes together, no matter if it took a little longer due to an average person's tool inventory and simple jack stands and floor jacks. The instruction videos are the best I have seen as of yet. If you enjoy working with your hands, I recommend etrailer products!
I highly recommend etrailer hitch and wiring harness They were both easy to install. The Prius pull the motorcycle camping trailer very well. You would not even know it was hooked to the car
I keep this ball in the trunk of my car next to the spare tire when not in use. It has not corroded at all and looks brand new after 1 year. Mounting the ball is a cinch and only requires an adjustable wrench. No problems with the product so far.
Everything I received has been great and enjoyed over the past year.
We ordered Class II drawbar and two hitch balls. We appreciated the completeness of the online website and the ease for placing the order. We are very satisfied with the high quality of the products and speed of receiving our order.
While visiting family in Brooklyn, N.Y. my trailer hitch was stolen. What can you expect it was Crookland, oops I mean Brooklyn. This was an exact replacement. Fast service, nothing bad to say all is good except my feelings for Brooklyn.
Looks like a high quality ball. Fit perfectly with the hitch from etrailer.
Here in Florida, we quickly learn the value of stainless hardware. This hitch ball should last until the end of time.
Over priced. Found for $14 at local RV parts store. Good otherwise. It's a big piece of metal, what could go wrong. Unless you know what size you'll need get the 3500lb ball, more likely to be what you need.
Arrived in great condition! Shipped faster then expected! Great customer communication! This item and eTrailer will get my repeat business!
Nice looking ball. Should it the bill for my pull behind motorcycle trailer.
Great product, but stainless washer and nut would have been nice.
Fit like a glove. I bought a 6" extension for my standard ratchet set and had it on in 30 minutes. Towed my john boat the next day.
The instructions worked well!
Great product, good fit. Stainless is the only way to go.
Received just what I ordered in a few days and everything is working fine. Great service!
Great service and part needed
Great well made ball...well machined. Good Job!
