Video Transcript for Curt Long Shank 2 inch Hitch Ball Review
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.

Every part excellent quality. Perfect fit, all parts were exact for my vehicle. Watched the video on youtube for wiring and being a mechanic for over 50 years was able to connect signal lights all from driver side of harness. Instead of leaving plug inside trunk I wired through the rubber outlet to the back of the hitch ready for use. Very happy highly recommend etrailer.

I love it. It fits very well and is exactly what I needed. I love how etrailer knows what fits your car and that they have install videos too!
by: Jimmy 08/23/2022
Great quality steel. Finer threads than all other lower quality hitch balls so prevents threads stripping and not being able to remove or replace the ball in the future.
by: Joel 05/15/2023
Perfect fit.
by: Max A.08/04/2019
I was very suspicious how will it fit and suit Dodge Challenger. But when I received trailer hitch, and by they way it travelled across the planet to reach me, I was totally impressed with the quality, ease of installation and accessories which I ordered with it. I basically installed it myself with a help of a friend, it took about 30 minutes to fix it. It really saved me as I needed the trailer to transport my bike to the race track and I didn't want to change the car.
So the conclusion, I own it for more than a year and have zero issues or complaints about the hitch or accessories. I used to travel long and short distances and in average I use it every second week. You barely can notice it when you remove drawbar so it is very good solution.
by: Aaron 08/08/2022
Thanks for the quick response to my call.
We were able to get the hitch installed time for my son's trip.
A trip with no boat would have been no trip at all!!

As described. Super fast shipping.
by: Doug R09/09/2020
For my 1 ton total Harbor Freight utility trailer, this ball, with a Curt Class II drawbar, on my '11 Mini Countryman S, is overkill, but I'm much happier knowing that the hitch and ball are working at far below maximum capacity. A mechanic neighbor had the tools needed to get the nut torqued properly. It's all very solid. Just part of a kit to create a part-time pickup truck where I can leave the "bed" at home.
by: James 05/02/2020
just what i needed to go with my hitch,carrier so i can hook up my trailer to my chev trax to pick up items too big for the trax. also being able to take items to the transfer station to dispose of.

All the items in my order arrived today. Thanks for your continued follow-up on this order and the speedy shipping once you had the item on hand. I also appreciated the installation video and pictures on etrailer. com. I routinely recommend that my customers reference your website for install instructions and product explanation videos. Keep up the good worK.
by: Dietrich V.12/19/2014
My second Curt hitch. I like the appearance of the round tubular hitch. Service reliable and delivery quick. The only shortfall on the instructions was that it was not clear which holes in the frame got the bolts that were fished in, and of course I got it wrong the first time. I had to remove both bolts to reinstall in holes farther forward. Otherwise, fine product and instructions.
by: Patrick05/20/2022
The hitch has worked great over the past year. I pull a 15 ft sailboat and I have had no issues. Customer service was great with a missing part and got it to me quickly. Would definitely purchase again!
by: Deanne07/25/2019
From the minute I discovered etrailer.com for my new trailer hitch needs, called them on the phone, got to a live person who helped me order every item I needed, was alerted that my items had been delivered, and opened the door to see a big cardboard box that actually was still in one piece, it was a topnotch experience. Talk about great customer service...wow!
I will attach a photo of my hitch once it's installed on July 29.

- Recommended 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Ball For Class l Trailer Hitch Ball MountA Class l trailer hitch ball mount typically uses a hitch ball with a 3/4 inch shank. If that is the case for your ball mount then I recommend a hitch ball like part # C40018.
view full answer... - How to Know Which Ball Mount and Hitch Ball to UseThe hitch ball you need will depend on the size the trailer's coupler connects to; it will likely be a 1-7/8" ball or 2" ball. As for the ball mount, there is a simple way for you to determine if you need drop or rise with a couple measurements. First, make sure both your vehicle and trailer are parked on level ground; you'll then want to measure from the ground to the top of the inside of your hitch receiver. Next, measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler. If the...

view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch & Wiring Harness For 2019 Honda Accord HybridWe do not currently have an option for a trailer hitch receiver to fit for your 2019 Honda Accord hybrid, so I will not be able to get you a towing set up. However, we do have a roof rack or a trunk mounted bike rack for your Accord. Please let us know if either of these solutions will meet your needs.
view full answer... - 2 Inch Hitch Ball With Fine ThreadWe have just the hitch ball for you! The 2 inch Hitch Ball - 1 inch Diameter x 2-1/8 inch Long Shank # 63845 is the hitch ball you will need. The weight capacity of the hitch ball is 7,500 pounds and is a durable, corrosion-resistant chrome. The hitch ball has 14 threads per inch which is a fine thread. I attached a review video link below.
view full answer... - Availability of 1-1/2-Inch Hitch Ball With 3/4-Inch ShankWe do offer a range of hitch balls that have a 3/4-inch shank diameter. These are available in three standard ball sizes: 1-7/8-inch, 2-inch and 50mm (just under 2-inches). We do not have any with a ball size of 1-1/2-inches. The available hitch balls with a 3/4-inch diameter shank can be seen on the link provided. The shank length will vary among the hitch balls shown. You will want to select a ball with the correct diameter to fit your trailer's coupler, but also one that has the appropriate...
view full answer... - 2 inch Hitch Ball Recommendation for the Curt Ball Mount C45022For a 2 inch hitch ball to be used with the Curt Ball Mount part # C45022 that you referenced you would want the part # C40018.
view full answer... - Ball Mount with 5 Inch Rise and Compatible 2 Inch Ball for a 2015 Honda CR-VFor a Class I ball mount that has a 5 inch rise for your 2015 Honda CR-V you can use # C45024. This particular ball mount can only be used in the rise position. For a compatible 2 inch diameter ball use # C40018.
view full answer... - 5-3/8 inch Rise Ball Mount Recommendation to Fit 1-1/4 inch Hitch on 2017 Ford FusionSince you need a 5-3/8 inch rise the Curt ball mount part # C45028 would be a perfect fit. Then for a 2 inch hitch ball you would want the # C40018 which would fit the ball mount perfectly.
view full answer... - Is Curt Trailer Hitch Ball A-82 Solid Stainless SteelCurt trailer hitch ball # A-82 is stainless throughout. When a ball or other part is plated or coated we do make sure to point that out in the description and/or the title. Also the price is a dead giveaway since stainless is more expensive. A ball with the same rating and measurements from the same manufacturer only in chrome, # C40018, costs 3 times less!
view full answer... - Recommended 1-1/4" Ball Mount with 6" RiseThe Curt Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches part # C45028 (5-3/8" Rise) is the most amount of rise we offer for a standard ball mount that fits a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver. The 2" Hitch Ball can then be added with part # C40018. The 5/8" difference in height won't be a real issue and it's the best you will be able to get.
view full answer... - What Size Ball Hole do Ball Mounts that Fit 1-1/4 inch Hitches HaveAll of the Class II ball mounts out there have a 3/4 inch diameter ball hole. It might be the best solution for you to replace the ball you have with one that will fit that ball hole size like what comes with the # 36065 that you mentioned. For a 2 inch ball you'd need the # C40018 or for a 1-7/8 inch ball # C40001 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Hitch Ball Recommendations for Ball Mount 36078There isn't a specific length ball shank required for ball mount # 36078. It just has to be long enough to have 3 threads or more exposed beyond the nut when tight. If you need a 2 inch ball # C40018 is a popular option. For a 1-7/8 inch ball # C40001 is a popular option.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount to Tow Trailer with 2016 Mazda CX-5When choosing the correct rise or drop for a ball mount to use on your 2016 Mazda CX-5, you will just need to take two measurements, which it appears have already been taken based on the information you provided in your question. One measurement from the ground to the top of the trailer hitch receiver on your vehicle and another from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer. If U-Haul is stating an ideal hitch ball height of 19 inches, then I am assuming on their trailer there...
view full answer... - Hitch Ball Recommendations for a Curt Ball Mount part # C45024For a ball with a 1-7/8 inch diameter you would want the Hitch Ball part # C40001 and then for one with a 2 inch ball you would want the Hitch Ball # C40018. The shank of both of these balls is 3/4 of an inch in diameter and is 1-9/16 inches long for the # C40001 and 2-1/8 inches long on the # C40018.
view full answer... - Selecting The Correct Size Ball Mount For a Class I Receiver to Connect To 2 Trailer CouplerYes, you can use a 2" Ball # C40018 with your 1-1/4" receiver on your vehicle. The class I receiver will require a specific ball mount as the 1-1/4" receiver has a shortened tube and only a class I ball mount will fit. The Ball Mount # C45520 has the same 3/4" ball mount opening to accept the mentioned 2" ball. Before selecting a ball mount you will want to determine the distance from your trailer coupler when the trailer is level to the inside top of your receiver tube is. This will...

- Ball Mount and Hitch Ball Recommendation for Curt Hitch part # C11072With a Class I hitch like the Curt # C11474 that you referenced you want to go with the recommended ball mount by the manufacturer. You would want to use the ball mount part # C45520 and then for a 2 inch ball part # C40018.

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.

view full answer... - Tallest Rise 1-1/4 inch Hitch Ball Mount AvailabilityWhen measuring for ball mount rise/drop needed you have to measure from the bottom lip of the coupler to the ground and not from the top like you mentioned. That means your trailer height is going to be more like 20 inches instead of 22 inches. That being said the closest ball mount we offer to what you need is going to be the part # C45028 which can do a rise of 5-3/8 inches. Then for a 2 inch ball you would want the part # C40018.
view full answer... - 2 inch Hitch Ball Recommendation to Use with Ball Mounts 3593 and C45025For a 2 inch ball to use with the draw bar part # 3593 you would want the part # 19258. For the part # C45025 you would then want the part # C40018. Both balls have 3/4 inch diameter shanks.
