Video Transcript for 2-5/16" Hitch Ball-C40007 Feature Review

What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out this CURT hitch ball. This is gonna be going on a ball mount platform, so you can hook up your coupler to it. Let's check it out. It's gonna be a two and 5/16-inch ball. It's gonna have an inch-thick shank diameter here, so you just drop that through the platform to attach it.

You got the lock nut and the regular nut right at the bottom. Now I'm just gonna do it hand-tighten right now. When you get this, you're gonna wanna make sure this is torqued to the specifications required. You can't just leave it loose in here and tow your trailer. You want to make sure it's really tight and torqued down before you hook up to go.

So we'll get this tightened down by hand. Now you can either do it this way or upside-down, depending on if you want to rise or drop. Either way, it's gonna work the same way. It's gonna have a weight capacity or a trailer weight rating of 10,000 pounds. It's gonna have a tongue weight rating of 1,000 pounds.

So just keep that in mind with what you're wanting to haul. Looking closer at the base here, you'll see these flat sides on the side of the ball. That's gonna be good for putting your wrench there. So when you go to torque down the bottom here, you can know you get a nice hold on it to get it really tight, to get to the specification you need to. It's gonna have a chrome-plated finish with a nickel alloy coating on the outside.

So when you leave it on the back of your vehicle all the time, the elements aren't gonna bother it. Overall, this is gonna be a good hitch ball to add to your ball mount. Just make sure that you get that shank diameter right so it's gonna fit in there, and check your trailer coupler to make sure you need that two and 5/16-inch ball. Well, here that does it. Thanks for hanging out and hope this helps.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball

  • Is Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount Overkill For Smaller Trailer
    Hey Manny, Even with a smaller trailer, it is not overkill and you can absolutely benefit using the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # 325-GH-12001. A trailer, regardless of size, is still going to be rigid, bounce, and affect the ride of your tow vehicle and the trailer. So adding some cushioning like you get with the Glyder is definitely a good idea, and something I recommend. So if you do decide to go with the ball mount you'll also need a hitch ball, either...

  • Recommended Extended Ball Mount or Hitch Extender for Towing Boat Trailer
    For your 2018 Tahoe and boat trailer needing a longer extension between them I recommend the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 13-1/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BM20. Having a longer ball mount like this will not reduce the capacity of your hitch at all. This will give you a length of 13-1/4 inches from the center of the ball to the hitch pin hole. For a compatible hitch ball the shank needs to be 1 inch diameter for this mount. I recommend the 2 inch ball # 40038 or...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For R-Pod With 315 Lb Tongue Weight
    When choosing a weight distribution system you wan't to find a system that is rated properly for your loaded tongue weight. You want the loaded tongue weight to fall in the center of the range that the weight distribution system spring bars are rated for. The Curt systems that you have mentioned part # C17499, part # C17500 and part # C17501 are all overrated for your tongue weight if it's 315 lbs loaded. Although the Curt systems are really great options there is not a system rated low...

  • Ball Height for Pulling a 2016 Coachmen Clipper with a 2004 Honda Pilot
    You want the trailer to be as level as possibel when towing. To figure out the correct rise or drop you need with your 2004 Honda Pilot measure from the ground to the inside top of the trailer hitches opening with the vehicle parked on level ground. Then measure from the ground to the underside of the trailer's coupler with it level as well. The difference between the two tells you how much of a rise (the trailer is higher than the vehicle) or a drop (the vehicle is higher than the trailer)...

  • Will Curt Hitch and Westin Step Bumper Work Together on 1997 Ford F-250 HD?
    To start with, the Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper # 20002-92230 will fit your 1997 Ford F-250 HD so long as it is a standard bed model. The Curt hitch # 14001 is also a fit for '97 F-250 HD's that have step bumpers such as the Westin (I've attached a photo which shows the hitch on a truck with a step bumper) and will work for you so long as you have the larger 37-3/4" frame and not a 34" frame. The Diamondstep bumper and Curt hitch attach on different parts of the frame so they will...

  • Can a Front-Mount Hitch and Adapter be Used to Push a Trailer Into Tight Spots?
    You certainly aren't alone having a bit of trouble backing up a long trailer. Using a front-mounted hitch is fine, but the Blue Ox adapter, # BX88132, is designed for flat-towing so it isn't going to work for you. What you can do instead is attach a fixed ball mount, and the Draw-Tite # 80248 is going to give you 9-3/4" of rise. Please keep in mind that the Draw-Tite has has a max gross towing weight (GTW) of 3,500 lbs and max tongue weight (TW) of 350 lbs in the rise position. If you...

  • Is 2 Inch Hitch Ball Okay to Use With 2-5/16 Inch Coupler
    While I can sympathize with your issue, it is not safe to tow a trailer if you only have a 2" hitch ball and your trailer coupler is designed for a 2-5/16" hitch ball, even for a short distance; the insecure connection between hitch ball and coupler would pose a danger to others because of the risk of the trailer becoming uncoupled from the tow vehicle. The correct 2-5/16" hitch ball will depend on the shank diameter you need as well as capacity. Your ball mount will have a hole where...

  • Will Fastway e2 or Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution Help Level Trailer With 330 lb Tongue Weight
    It will; what is happening is the tongue weight is creating the "V" you mentioned, so you are not towing level, and a weight distribution system is exactly what you need. This will level you out, and for your 330 lb loaded tongue weight, you do have the correct Fastway system: - Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0450 The # FA92-00-0450 will correct the "V" and ensure your Jayco is level, and even though you mentioned you didn't have sway on your last trip,...

  • Recommended Tow Dolly for 2007 Toyota Prius behind 2017 Toyota Sienna
    The tongue weight of a tow dolly is minimal because it has the weight of the front of the tow vehicle across the axle. So you will have almost no tongue weight when using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1. You will simply need to account for the towing weight of the 545 lb # RM-2050-1 along with the 2,932 lbs curb weight of your 2007 Toyota Prius. Your 2017 Toyota Sienna has a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, so you can use the # RM-2050-1 and be just under your...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 3,300 lbs Trailer
    For your 3,300 lbs trailer, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA92-00-0450. This system is specifically designed for lighter weight trailers like yours. You don't want to use a higher capacity system because it will give you a stiff uncomfortable ride. This system works with tongue weights up to 450 lbs. Tongue weight is typically 10% -15% of your trailer's total weight so this will be perfect for yours. The Fastway e2 item # FA92-00-0450 has...

  • Availability Of a Ball Mount With Friction Sway Control Tab Rated For 10,000LBS
    You do have a couple options but the Curt Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tab # D320 is not available in a 10K weight capacity. You can use the similar Curt Ball Mount # C45310 rated for 10,000lbs and weld on a Sway Control Tab # C45822. We do also have the Bolt On Bracket # RP26003 but his has a 1" hole versus the 1-1/4" hole on the ball mount. So you will either need to drill the hole larger or use a 2-5/16" Ball # C40007 and Reducer Bushing # F-2. Then you will be able to mount the Friction...

  • What Size Wrench Is Needed For The Nut On The Curt Hitch Ball C40007
    The Curt hitch ball # C40007 has a 1" diameter shank. Curt Hitch balls with a 1" shank will use a 1-1/2" wrench for the nut. You would also want to use a 2" wrench for the flats on the base of the ball. We offer the 6-point hex wrench # C20001 which can be used for hitch balls with either a 1" diameter or 3/4" diameter shank.

  • Does Using Extra Long Ball Mount BM20 Reduce The Tongue Weight Capacity Of Trailer Hitch Receiver?
    The Brophy Ball Mount - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 15-3/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BM20 you were looking at has a 1,000lb tongue weight rating and 10,000lb trailer weight rating so you will have no issues using it with your camper that has 500lbs of tongue weight. Extended ball mounts do not reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch like a hitch extender does as the ball mount is one piece where the extender adds another connection in. This ball mount uses a 1" hitch ball so you will need...

  • Can I Extend My Hitch Without Using TorkLift Hitch and SuperTruss Extension
    The only other extension option we carry besides the Torklift SuperTruss extender that does not cut your tongue weight in half is an extra long ball mount. Traditional extensions such as part # C45796 cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on the truck in half because it creates extra leverage and movement in your towing setup. The only extra long ball mount we offer that is long enough for your setup is the Hidden Hitch ball mount part # BM20 at 13-1/4 inches long. That length is...

  • Ball Mount Closest to 8 Inches of Rise for 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    We do have a ball mount option that will work for you, and since you measured your trailer coupler to be about 18-1/2 inches off the ground and the top of your hitch receiver to be about 10-1/2 inches off the ground you will need a ball mount with close to 8 inches of rise, and the closest option to that is the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 8-3/4" Rise # AMSC10. So long as you are within about an inch you will still be level, so the 3/4 inch difference in rise is going to...

  • Best Way to Approximate Ball Mount Drop Needed for a Trailer Before Hitch is Installed
    When I said subtract an inch from the bottom of the bumper that was meant as a way to approximate where the top of the hitch opening will be once the hitch was installed. For nearly every vehicle the hitch ends up sitting right at the bottom of the bumper. Since it's hard to pick out a ball mount rise/drop without having the hitch installed first this was the best way to get a pretty good approximation. Depending on the suspension of the system you may get a 1/2 inch of sag on the suspension...

    The only hitch that fits most of those requirements, for your 2021 Volvo XC90 Recharge, is the Stealth Hitches item # SH27FRT. Since you do not want to purchase the wiring harness what you can do is get the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH27FR and purchase the ball mount separately Item # 391BMU5S. There's no hitch that checks all of your boxes and if you don't want to mess with your ground clearance and block the trunk sensor you'll need to go with one that has a removable...

  • How To Extend Trailer Hitch For 10,000lb Boat Trailer On 2020 Ram 3500 Dually With Bed Camper
    A hitch extender, such as the Brophy Hitch Extender # ST18, will work with your 6,000lb boat trailer if used with a weight distribution hitch. This is because the # ST18 has a max towing capacity of 3,500lbs and tongue weight of 350lbs, but when used in combination with a weight distribution system, this extender can handle up to 7,000lbs and 700lb tongue weight. You can look through our weight distribution hitches and find one based on your tongue weight of your trailer (which is roughly...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 300 Lbs Total Tongue Weight
    In order to choose the correct weight distribution system, you will need to find the total tongue weight (TTW) of your towing setup by adding the tongue weight (TW) of both your loaded ready to tow trailer and any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. An easy way to find this would involve using a tongue weight scale like the etrailer Trailer Tongue Weight Scale part # e99044. When choosing a weight distribution system, you will want your TTW to fall in the middle of the...

  • Fit and Compatibility of Alumistinger Ball Mount and Recommended Ball for Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    The Andersen Aluminstinger # AM3503 has a towing capacity of 8,000lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 800lbs. If your boat trailer and cargo are below this weight then the Andersen Alumistinger Ball Mount will perform great. Typically tongue weight is 10-15% of the trailer, so for your 5,000lb boat would be anywhere from 500-750lbs. If you are planning on upgrading your boat then I would recommend a higher capacity ball mount like the Draw-Tite # 4280. This ball mount also has the 1...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for a Trailer that Needs a 1-1/4 Rise To Tow Level
    If you can get the ball mount within a 1/2 inch or so of what you would need to be perfectly level you would be just fine. Since you need 1-1/4 inches of rise to tow level a 2 inch rise would be perfect since there is bound to be a bit of rear suspension sag when you hitch up to your trailer. For a ball mount then I would recommend the # C45230 and then for a hitch ball # 40038 for a 2 inch ball or part # C40007 for a 2-5/16 inch ball. I attached the help article you referenced on selecting...

    Hey Jorge, you are correct you are going to need the Ball Mount for Stealth Hitches Hidden Receiver Hitch # 391BMU7S to be able to tow with your Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ518. You'd also need a ball mount like # 40038 for a 2" ball, or # C40007 for a 2 5/16" ball depending on what your trailer needs.
