Hey Rob, I’d be wondering the same thing if I came across a ball mount made out of aluminum like the #BPH77MR while researching. Totally fair question. That said, I haven’t seen any noticeable difference in slop or wear compared to their steel…
Hey Chris, we do have more hitches now for your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek than what we had when we made the video you referenced but even with that in mind I would recommend the B and W part #BW32PR because it's mostly hidden and because it has the…

Hello Mark, This one had me stumped. I compared our product pages, saw nothing. I went on CURT's website and found one extra word in the product details: "Packaged." Yes, that is all. They are packaged differently. As you'll see in…

Dial in a level setup with adjustable drop options so switching between trailers stays simple. Pick a solid, no-frills build or go for extras like a built-in tongue weight scale, shock-absorbing torsion for bumps, extended reach for tailgate clearance, or pintle/step and multi-size balls to save time and space; some designs also help cut down on backslap.
Yes, they make it easy to go from one height to the next. Quick changes and options like multiple ball sizes can save time and space. When tightened correctly they can help reduce the backslap you might feel with a loose setup. If you prefer fewer moving parts, a solid fixed steel hitch is a simple, proven alternative.
A shock-absorbing or torsion-style drop hitch can help with heavy trailers and bumps to reduce stress on your truck and your back. Check your receiver size, like 2.5 inch if that's what you have, and confirm your trailer's tongue weight fits the hitch's rating. Compare styles side by side to see which feel and features you prefer.
Match your trailer coupler height to your receiver height. Park on level ground, measure from the ground to the inside top of the receiver, then to the bottom of the trailer coupler, and use the difference as your drop. If your hitch is close to the bumper, consider an extended-length option to help with clearance in tight turns or when opening the tailgate.
It can be very helpful for dialing in load balance. A built-in scale lets you move cargo and see direct results on tongue weight, which can cut down trips to a CAT scale. If the height adjustment relies on a key lock, check whether there's a secondary pin or backup you're comfortable with, and use a lock rated to your needs.
Many do, but you'll want to check clearance. Look for extended-length options if you need to drop the tailgate while hitched, and open it slowly the first time to verify space. Some designs let the ball fold back under the truck to help protect your shins when the hitch stays installed.
