Video Transcript for Detailed Breakdown of the 2" Hitch Ball-C40018

Hi there, light duty towers. Today, we're going to be taking a look at CURT's 2" chrome ball.This is a class 2 ball, it's also going to work with class 1. And it has a 3/4" shank on the bottom, which is the diameter of our shaft coming out the bottom that's threaded. And it's also 2-1/8" long, which means that it'll work with drawbars that have a platform between 3/8" thick and 5/8" thick. And it's rated for a 3,500 pound gross towing capacity, which is going to be great for your small utility trailers, we've got one right here we're going to be hooking up to it, but also for other small trailers such as kayak carriers, and maybe a small jet ski trailer as well. The ball is a solid steel construction with a chrome plating on it to protect it against the elements, and it also gives it a nice look.One of the things you can do to help protect the finish and increase the life of your ball is grease it before every use.

That'll just give a little coating for your trailer hitch to pivot on as you're going down the road. Now we're not going to be greasing it today for demonstration purposes, but you can get some grease here at etrailer.com. Wheel bearing grease is a really easy thing to use. It's nice to have readily available, and works great on this.When you're ready to use your ball, we're going to take our trailer, unlatch the coupler on it, simply set it in place, and then latch it down. Now that we've got our trailer fully connected with our safety chain, and our coupler pin, and our wiring, we're now ready to hit the road and start towing.Once you get your ball you are going to need a drawbar to install it into, so you want to make sure you choose one with an appropriately sized hole.

Again, this is a 3/4" shank, so you want to look for one with a 3/4 diameter hole in your drawbar. And it's always a good idea to make sure your drawbar is matching the capacities of your ball, because if you get one that's less, you're limiting your ball because you're only going to be able to go with the max that your drawbar is.Let's go ahead and show you how we got the ball installed in the drawbar. Now, we'll begin our installation by removing the nut and washer from our ball, and then installing the ball into our drawbar. We're going to be placing it in this position, as this is really designed for a rise, for the most part, for this drawbar. So we're going to put it there, like that.

And then, on the other side, we're just going to re-secure it with the lock washer and nut.You'll have a couple of flat spots on your ball, so we're just lining those up in our vice to hold it. And then, we can use a 1-1/8" socket to torque the nut the manufacturer's specifications. You usually find that on a tag found on your ball. Now that we've got it torqued to the manufacturer's specifications, we can place it in our receiver, and we're ready to start towing.And that completes our look at CURT's 2" chrome ball.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 with Center-Positioned Dual Exhaust
    Yes, the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11103 is a confirmed fit on the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 with center-positioned dual exhaust. I confirmed compatibility with Curt's fit guide and also with one of their technicians. The written instructions and a helpful installation article are both linked to assist you. Tools required are listed in the instructions. If you plan to tow you will also need trailer wiring; use part # HM40975-11933 if you have the factory tow package or...

  • Ball Mount for 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis Towing U-Haul Trailer
    Hi Ryan; the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45015 is the better choice here. Since your measurement is 12" you need a 6" rise for the U-Haul trailer. It doesn't have to be 100% perfect, and rarely is, so the 5" rise from the Curt ball mount is your best option. This has a 3/4" ball hole diameter so you can use the # C40018 for a 2" ball.

  • Swivel Mount Trailer Jack for 6 Inch Tall Trailer Frame
    The only bolt-on swivel jack we have that works with 6" tall trailer frames is the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover part # STC-V211. The Trailer Valet has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity and works with frame rails up to 2-3/4" wide x 6" tall. In addition to featuring a bolt on tongue jack, the Trailer Valet as the name states doubles as a trailer dolly which will easily allow one person to move their trailer around. The dolly has integrated brakes which keep it from rolling....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2018 Hyundai Tucson Sel Plus
    When we research towing capacities we base it off of what the owner's manual says but for some unknown reason there are no online manuals available for a 2018 Hyundai Tucson. I did take a look at the Hyundai website and as you said it listed the SEL Plus as having a 2,000 lb towing capacity as opposed to the 1,500 lb capacity of the SE and SEL; however, it looks like the SEL Plus only has some interior features differentiating it from the SE and SEL so it would not make sense for the capacity...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Kia Soul
    The first thing you need to flat tow your 2018 Kia Soul is a base plate kit like the Roadmaster Direct Connect part # RM-522115-5. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the tow...

  • Can 5 x 8 Utility Trailer be Towed Using Hitch Ball on Truck Bumper
    You might be able to tow a small 5x8 utility trailer using a hitch ball mounted to the bumper of your truck but this will depend on how heavy the loaded trailer is along with the specific bumper capacity of your vehicle. If you can tell me the year, make, and model of your truck I will be happy to try and look this up, otherwise this information should be listed in your owner's manual. Based on my research a standard 5 x 8 utility trailer from U Haul has a gross vehicle weight of 2,700...

  • Is Class III Trailer Hitch Available for a 2015 Infiniti QX50
    The only trailer hitch designed for your 2015 Infiniti QX50 is the Curt # C11510 which is a Class I rated hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. So unfortunately there are no Class III trailer hitches that fit a 2015 QX50. If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I can make some recommendations for you.

  • Parts Needed to Tow With 2012 Ford Fusion
    Hi Nicholas, We can get you a hitch for your 2012 Ford Fusion, but the maximum capacity for the hitch that fits is 2,000 lbs towing and 200 lbs tongue weight. You mentioned the ATV is 800 lbs and trailer is 775 lbs, so that is under 2k and would be just fine, just remember you want to stay under that weight. With that in mind, here is the hitch, wiring, and other parts you'll need to tow with your 2012 Ford Fusion: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11390 - Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118422 -...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid
    I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12343 for your 2008 Toyota Camry hybrid. This receiver is going to be the easiest to install as it is custom fit and does not require any drilling to mount the receiver. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118482 will allow you to control the lights on small trailers you may tow. And these can also be used with Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you have a hitch mounted accessory that impairs the view of your tail lights on your Camry. The Mounting...

  • Best Trailer Wiring Harness Option for 2004 BMW 325xi Sedan
    Since there isn't a plug and play option for your 2004 BMW 325xi Sedan, the best option and the one I recommend is the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. What sets this harness apart from others is that it uses sensors that clamp onto your vehicle's tail light wires to sense the current and transfer it back to the trailer connector. This means you don't have to worry about any potential issues caused by cutting or splicing into your BMW's factory wiring. The built...

  • Utility Trailer, Trailer Hitch Receiver, and Wiring Harness For Towing With 2014 Buick Verano 2.4L
    First you will only be able to tow a trailer if your 2014 Buick Verano has the 2.4L engine and a single exit exhaust. The 2.0L turbo is not rated to tow from Buick and will not fit with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11282. This receiver paired with a 2.4L single side exhaust will allow you to tow up to 1,000lbs according to your owners manual. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56288 will give you a 4-way flat trailer connector. This will connect to a Detail K2 Mighty Multi...

  • Ball Mount And Hitch Ball For Curt Class ll Trailer Hitch On 2014 Toyota RAV4
    To find the right ball mount you need to tow your Coleman Popup Camper level you can take a couple of quick measurements. Park the trailer and your RAV 4 on level ground. Measure from the top of the trailer receiver opening to the ground. Then measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on your trailer. If the hitch height is greater you need a ball mount with a drop. If the trailer coupler height is greater you need a ball mount with a rise. Take a look at your trailer coupler...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit Recommendation for 2007 BMW 530xi Wagon
    For your 2007 BMW 530xi Wagon we have the Curt Class I hitch part # C11498 which is a confirmed fit and will work well. The # C19031 would not fit so you would not be able to use it. For a ball mount you'd then want the part # C45510, for a hitch ball # C40018 for a 2 inch ball or part # C40001 for a 1-7/8 inch. For trailer wiring you'd need the universal install kit part # C59236 which has been tested as fitting your vehicle.

    You'll want to use a trailer ball with a 3/4 inch diameter shank. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # C40001 and for a 2 inch ball, use # C40018. The coupler on your trailer will have the necessary ball size stamped on it.

  • Hitch Installation on 2014 Nissan Versa
    Page 9-16 of the online edition of the owner's manual for the 2014 Nissan Versa says only this about towing a trailer: "Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle". Attaching a hitch such as light-duty Class I hitch # C11256 from Curt will not change the vehicle's capacities. When hitches are made for cars that are not intended to tow this is so that they can use accessory items like bike racks such as # S64650 and cargo carriers such as # C18145.

  • Recommended Parts to Tow a Small Trailer with a 2009 Buick LaCrosse
    We have everything that you need to get towing with your 2009 Buick LaCrosse. For a trailer hitch I recommend the 1-1/4" Class II Curt # C12239 because we have found the Curt trailer hitches typically have better welds and a thicker powder coat than other options. This contributes to a longer lifespan of the trailer hitch which in turn raises the quality of the hitch. Since you're needing to tow a smaller trailer you'll also need wiring to activate the trailer lights and for that I recommend...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2014 Toyota Prius 4
    As far as whether or not you can tow a trailer with your 2014 Toyota Prius you will need to check the owners manual or with a Toyota dealer for the final say on that. Our understanding is that Toyota says that you cannot tow at all with your vehicle. With that said, we have seen instances where people will do this anyways and parts are available to do so. For a hitch you can use the Curt # C11276, which is a confirmed fit on the 2014 Toyota Prius. For the wiring I recommend using the...

Be sure to not exceed any limits given from Kia for your Seltos. The receiver has a 1-1/4" opening and Curt suggests their Drawbar # C45521 which has a 2-5/8" rise and length of 7-1/4" for hauling a trailer. You should measure the difference from your trailer that you will be towing to the top of the receiver...

If you plan on using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier please make sure that the accessory is rated for a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with bike racks or cargo carriers Curt requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050 when using those items or any non-trailer load in the hitch.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation to Clear the Back of a 2007 Chevy HHR
    If you were to use ball mount # C45014 on your 2007 Chevy HHR it would be very tight so I do recommend going with the longer # C45015. If you have or are looking at hitch # C11447 then the ball mount that Curt recommends is # C45520 which is about the same length as C45015 so it would also have enough length. For either ball mount if the trailer takes a 2 inch ball use # C40018. And if it takes a 1-7/8 inch ball use # C40001. And if you don't already have a trailer wiring harness you can...

  • Can I Tow a Malone MicroSport Trailer with a Nissan Altima
    What that means is that the Malone MicroSport trailer, part # MPG460G, is level when the bottom of the coupler is 18 inches off the ground. To tow the trailer level you need a ball mount with a rise. Park your Nissan Altima on level ground and measure from the ground the inner top of the receiver hitch. When we installed the Draw-Tite hitch on an Altima we measured 10-1/4 inches. You'll likely be close to this but measure your car so you're sure. Then subtract your measurement from...
