Heavy-duty, 1-piece forged ball mount measures 9-1/2" from pin hole to ball hole. Use this Class V accessory in either the drop or rise position to fit your application.Very heavy duty and perfect.
This is one solid hitch. Bought the hitch to pull about 5000 lbs. there's no doubt in my mind that it can handle it.
I was going to buy an alternative ball mount but it had a long lead time. Etrailer recommend one that was in stock and it arrived much quicker. Am very happy with etrailer.
Promt delivery I wold recommend buying from them again
This item is used on a 2016 F150 that has a 4" suspension lift. It is a solid piece of steel with double the tow rating. Sure; I could have afforded one of those "fancy" adjustable balls. However, most are not rated very high. Typically 4 tons.
I wanted something with a higher rating and this one; solid-piece has done what is needed without possible points of failure. The towed trailer is level to the towing vehicle. I only tow the same trailer for long periods of time. I don't need to have all the hitch sizes available or the various heights. Great price at etrailer and promptly shipped. Thank you
Heavy Duty Drop Hitch Mount, product was exactly as listed. Allows my trailer to pull level and avoid sway / excessive tire wear.

Best hitch I have ever owned. Would recommend to anyone!
Would have given the ball mount 5 stars for fit and finish but the Curt decal was laying in the box. You say no big deal, but it is a big deal because the decal has the ball mount 17,000 lb rating on it. The ball mount does not have the rating stamped in it like most ball mounts. So without the decal it is just a piece of cast material disguised as a ball mount. The problem is. The glue on the decal isn't thick enough to stick to the rough cast material. I shouldn't have to, but I will glue it back on with thicker glue.

Still works great!!
This is a great ball mount with a nice powder coat that is holding up well. The unit is used with the 5 inch rise position. The the gross weight of the trailer that the mount is used for is 18k pounds with the tongue weight of about 1700 pounds. The product performance is excellent.
This product is very heavy duty and the price was great. It fit perfectly and looks very good on the 2017 Toyota Tundra with a 6 inch lift. I would definitely recommend this product.

I have used this product regularly for a year and it is still outstanding!
Heavy duty and well made. Disappointed that it's made in China (my other 7,500 lbs Curt hitch is made in the USA)

Needed a ball and mount capable of towing my double axel trailer loaded with my 12,000 lb. tractor, this one does the trick. I appreciated the quick shipping.
have not received the hitch, the license plate cover poorly packaged and bent.
I've used etrailer on numerous times and generally avoid these reviews, but they are a very solid good helpful organization to deal with. This is a small order compared to 3 years of past orders. Save yourself some time and trouble and just buy from them. You'll be pleased at the service. Jack
The heavy duty hitch and other parts that I received from etrailer were exactly what I ordered and at a good price. The delivery was fast and nothing damaged. Thanks etrailer I will be buying from you again.
This ball mount is as heavy duty as the web site picture makes it out to be, it's solid forged construction gives it the mass necessary to handle the load and best of all it fits my factory Ford receiver, which some others did not. All in all a nice piece I would recommend it whether the weight rating is needed or not.
Excellent, thier online tracking is pretty cool, it shows who took your order who packed it and shows the UPS detailed tracking. I order this part from [online store] and it never arrived, so I gave etrailer a try and they are excellent.
Best ball mount I have ever owned.

Very pleased with the way etrailer conducts business.
I ordered 2 towing items. The correct items came very well packed, to the right address, and within just a few days.
I will be ordering more items from etrailer and recommending them to my friends.
Working as it should. It is quite heavy. Wish they had it in 2.5 inch tho so I wouldn't have had to purchase the sleeve.
Just what I wanted with the correct amount of drop for my Subaru ascent. Very solid and rounded edges if bumped so no sore shins.
Fit perfect and super solid.
The service and delivery were excellent. The item arrived before the estimate and was packaged well. I needed a taller Mount for my new 13k boat trailer. This will work perfect.
Thank you for great service.
Fast shipping great price

Didn't work out for it's intended purpose. Wanted it to use on my mini van to pyll Scamp travel trailer. But I couldn' open my tailgate without unhitching the trailer

You mentioned that the ball mount was not long enough for your application. How much distance would you need to be able to open the tailgate.
I recently received my C45240 dual length ball mount and was very pleased
with the way it looks. This mount is heavy duty for sure and the welds look perfect.
I needed the extra length because my tailgate hit the trailer jack when I let it down.now with this mount problem solved.
The quality and price of this product is great.
Thanks for making a product that is well worth the price.
This ball mount was just what I needed. I've got a 2015 Escape but the little trailer I am going to pull was modified and raised 4" for off-road use. Well, my hitch was about 4" too low!! So, getting this ball mount receiver was just what I needed to get the added height on the hitch ball! Now, I'm ready to go!
This was my second purchase-so far, so good. Hitch and brake controller installs from first purchase went well and have worked well. Just received ball mount and ladder mount bike rack from second purchase-everything looks good so far. Pricing was very reasonable. They provide good information to make an educated purchase.
Very pleased with my purchase. Ball mount and 2" ball are heavy and appear to be well made. Just purchased a new pickup truck and the rear end is a few inches higher than my old truck. The 6" drop on this ball mount will keep my trailer riding level. Thanks guys.
Excellent Curt product!! MADE IN AMERICA Fits great, just what I needed for my Suburban. Always a pleasure to do business with you people.

Still in use. Recently towed a classic car on a 2k mile trip with no problems.
I need this for the front hitch on my truck. I needed the high rise since the hitch sits so low to the ground. I use the front hitch to launch my boat and jet ski on a small ramp that is hard to navigate.
Needed this extended hitch with the drop to work with my "Rock Tamers". As this truck is new and I was leaving town in a week, I also needed fast delivery. Four days later the hitch arrived as promised and I'm on my way. Perfect product for my needs and great service/delivery!
Great value. Ordered this with a trailer hitch.
Good products at great prices, shipped very fast. Had a great selection of drops to hitches, with all choices of capacity.
Works perfectly. Has the exact rise I needed to keep the trailer level.
Works like a charm. I needed the extra length when I got a new truck so that the tail gate did not hit he post on the front of the trailer.
Very well made draw bar. Great price. Fast service. Excellent customer service and status updates on shipping.
I have been buying parts from etrailer since 2013 and have never been disappointed they have always delivered a good product and always on time. Quality is excellent.
Easy to install, works fine. Still in service after a year.
Exactly as ordered, came in 3 days. Very heavy duty. Definitely will order from etrailer again.
Great people to deal with, and parts are good quality. And as always George j keeps you informed.
thanks again for good service---------------------------
Great product. Solid, quality, no rust !!!
Durable and easy install!
Haven't used yet. So far, this is exactly what I need. Going to use it in the rise position.
Got exactly what I ordered and it arrived quickly and well packaged. Made great. Heavy duty construction and the ability to adjust length is helpful.
product came quickly just in time so we could haul the camper for summer fun
Website is easy to navigate to the correct product. Ordered and received as advertised. Job well done.

It is heavy and it works without problem. Be sure to follow calculation of height. Our camper is perfectly level when towing.
