Features to know about

Solid Support for Heavy Towing: 10,000 lbs Weight Capacity

When it comes to towing heavy loads, you need reliability and strength. The CURT 2" Hitch Ball, with its impressive 10,000 lbs weight capacity, stands out as the perfect solution for trailers with a demanding capacity. Be it a utility trailer or a mid-sized RV, this hitch ball ensures a secure connection and stable towing experience, so you can travel with confidence, knowing your trailer is firmly attached.

Corrosion-Resistant Chrome Finish: Long-Lasting Shine and Durability

No one wants a hitch ball that starts to rust after just a few uses. With its durable chrome-plated finish, the CURT Hitch Ball provides superior corrosion resistance, maintaining its shine and structural integrity even in challenging weather conditions. Its resilient finish means more time towing and less time worrying about upkeep, making it a lasting investment for frequent haulers.

Perfect Fit for Various Trailers: 1-1/4" Diameter Shank and 2-5/8" Length

Compatibility matters when choosing a hitch ball. The 1-1/4" diameter and 2-5/8" long shank offer a precise fit for a wide range of trailers, especially those with a larger coupler design. Whether you have a classic utility trailer or a customized setup, this hitch ball fits smoothly, ensuring hassle-free installations and strong, reliable connections on every trip.

Fine Threaded Shank for Maximum Security: Strong Grip and Ease of Use

A hitch ball that loosens during transit is a nightmare scenario. The fine-threaded shank of the CURT Hitch Ball guarantees a secure grip between the ball and mount, ensuring that it stays firmly in place under load. This design simplifies tightening and prevents back-off during use, making it easy to achieve the 450-ft-lbs torque requirement for optimum safety and performance.

Wrench Flats for Easy Installation: Simplifying the Process

Installation doesn’t have to be a struggle. With the built-in wrench flats on the CURT Hitch Ball, you can easily hold the ball in place while securing the nut. This feature eliminates the need for special tools or awkward handling, making installation a breeze—even for those who aren’t seasoned DIYers. Spend less time setting up and more time enjoying the road.

Video Transcript for Ultimate Overview of the 2" Hitch Ball

Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff from etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Curt two inch chrome hitch ball. With a 10,000 pound weight, gross towing weight capacity. Now this hitch ball provides the connection point for your trailer's coupler. This one you can see is a nice durable corrosion resistant chrome finish.

A few dimensions on this. The diameter and the ball is two inches. The weight capacity, which will be stamped on the top is 10,000 pounds. Now I do want to give you a few critical dimensions. So when you go to purchase a hitch ball, you do want to make sure it'll fit your ball mount.

So the one of them is the length of the shank, which is this portion here. So we're gonna measure from the bottom to the end of the shank. So the length on this one is going to be right at two and five eights inches long.The other critical measurement is the diameter to make sure it'll fit into the ball hole of your ball mount. So on this one is gonna be right at one and a quarter inches. So again, this is designed to fit a ball mount with a one and a quarter inch ball hole and the thickness of the ball mount needs to be either a half inch up to one inch thick and this will fit on there correctly.

Now, if you notice it does include the lock washer and the nut. So when you do go to install this, you'll drop this through the hole in your ball mount. Put your lock washer on, take your nut, go ahead and start it. And then tighten it down to the torque specs that are recommended. Now, the height on this ball mount once it's installed from the bottom here to the very top, it's gonna be right at two and three quarter inches from the bottom of the flange to the top of the ball.

And when you do install this, it will require a socket size of one and seven eighths inches to fit this nut. But that should do it for the review on the Curt two inch chrome hitch ball with the 10,000 pound gross towing weight capacity.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Camping Trailer
    The most important thing to know when selecting a weight distribution system is your total tongue weight, which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2016 Ram 1500. Your total tongue weight needs to be in the middle of the weight distribution system's tongue weight capacity in order for the system to work effectively. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET has a tongue weight capacity between 200 lbs...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 2018 Keystone Summerland 1750RD
    The most important thing to consider when picking out a weight distribution system is the total tongue weight of your setup. This number includes the loaded tongue weight of the trailer (as if it's ready for a trip) along with any added cargo weight you might have loaded behind the rear axle of your F-250. Ideally this number falls comfortably within the operating range of the system you choose. Based on my research your 2018 Keystone Summerland 1750RD Trailer does indeed have an empty...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 6,000 lb Camper Trailer
    You'd be fine to have a weight distribution installed on your trailer as you travel on the hill you described. If anything it might help prevent the trailer from leaning excessively. For a 6,000 lb trailer you'd be looking at a tongue weight most likely of 600 to 900 lbs so the weight distribution with sway control that I would recommend is the Strait Line part # RP66084 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs and features only sway control designed to fight sway before it starts.

  • Weight of Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion # FA92-00-0600
    Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW Item # FA92-00-0600 weighs approximately 75 pounds when you add a ball such as # A-90 for a 2 inch or # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch. Keep in mind that the weight of the weight distribution you use is not factored in to the total tongue weight. To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Little Guy Max Trailer
    Your tongue weight is most likely going to fall between 400 and 800 lbs so the best setup would be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66083 which has that exact tongue weight range and features the only sway control designed to fight sway before it starts. For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.

  • Brake Controller and Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    Since your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited came with the factory tow package the wiring harness you will want is the part # HM40975-11933 as it will give you both a 4-way and a 7-way. Now to install a brake controller what you'll need is the part # 5506 which will complete the wiring of the brake controller to the 7-way. If you check out the install video I attached below you'll see exactly how we did this on a similar 2017 Unlimited like yours. For a brake controller I would recommend the...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a Rockwood Mini Lite 23.7 Trailer
    Your best option is going to be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66084 as it has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs which would be perfect for your tongue weight of 725 lbs. The sway control on this system is the only style on the market that actively works to prevent sway before it starts. The other very popular option is the Equalizer WD system part # EQ37101ET which would also work great with 725 lbs of tongue weight but instead uses 4 point of friction for sway control.

  • Recommended Sway Control for a 2019 Ram 1500 w/ Air Ride Pulling a Pop-Up Trailer
    Hey Chip! If you're dealing with that much sway, I would recommend a weight distribution system not one of the SumoSpring systems. I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA92-00-0450. This system is built for smaller trailers like yours and works with tongue weights up to 450 lbs. With the weight of your trailer and gear combined this would definitely get that sway under control. Since you already have factory air ride and it's not helping your sway...

  • Reese Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 1,050 lbs of Tongue Weight
    If your loaded tongue weight is 1,050 lbs then the Reese Weight Distribution system part # RP66542 would work well as it has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs which would work well for you. The only setup that would be better would be the Strait Line part # RP66084 as it has the same tongue weight range but has a sway control system that stops sway before it starts. For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.

  • Is a Weight Distribution System Required for Towing a 3,000 lb Trailer
    Any time you are towing a trailer that has a fully loaded weigh that is over 50 percent of the vehicle's gross weight, a weight distribution system is recommended. If your vehicle weighs less than 6,000 lbs, a weight distribution system and trailer brakes should be used when towing a 3,000 lb trailer. Assuming that the 3000 lb figure you mentioned represents the fully loaded and ready to tow weight of the trailer, the tongue weight will be between 300-450 lbs, plus the weight of any cargo...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch for 2019 Ram 1500 Towing 33-Foot Travel Trailer
    You will definitely gain handling benefits from using a properly-rated and correctly-installed weight distribution/sway control hitch when towing your 33-foot travel trailer with your Ram 1500. Your loaded TW is going to be right around 1000-lbs so good systems that match are the Equalizer # EQ37120ET and the Reese Steadi-Flex # RP66560 that both work for 800 to 1200-lbs tongue weight (TW). Just add an appropriate size hitch ball to complete these systems, either # A-90 (2-inch) or #...

This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well.

The Fastway systems are very high quality for the cost, and the built in two point sway control does a great job of keeping your trailer going straight down the highway. The # FA92-00-0800 does not include a hitch ball so you will also need 2" hitch...

  • Can a 1-7/8 inch Hitch Ball be Used with a 2 inch Coupler on Trailer
    If your trailer has a 2 inch coupler then you definitely need to go with a 2 inch ball. Even though 1/8 inches doesn't sound like very much, it is enough that your trailer could come uncoupled under the right conditions. I have attached a link to our selection of 2 inch hitch balls for you to filter through. You will just need to be sure that the shank of the hitch ball has the correct diameter and that it is long enough for your ball mount. For example, the popular Curt 2 inch Hitch...

    First thing you need to tow a trailer with your 2015 BWM X5 is a trailer hitch like the Curt # 13077 which is mostly hidden and had more than enough capacity for your trailer. Next for trailer wiring you'd want the part # 119250KIT to provide the 4-way lighting functions. To convert to a 7-way and install a brake controller you'd then want the part # ETBC7 with a brake controller like our Brake EVN # TK63VR which is proportional, reliable, and also priced well.

    There is going to be a weight distribution system that works for your 2018 Toyota 4Runner, but those systems are not vehicle-specific.

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118521. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution for Towing a 20 Foot Trailer with a 2017 Ram 1500
    A weight distribution (WD) system is needed when the trailer weighs at least half of the curb weight (unloaded weight) of the tow vehicle. Since this is the case with your 2017 Ram 1500 and the 20' travel trailer you are looking at I definitely recommend using a WD system. For your application I recommend the Reese Strait-Line # RP66083 because it uses a dual-cam sway control that works to prevent sway before it starts instead of correcting it after it starts. This has a tongue weight...
