Video Transcript for Checking Out the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball

What's up, everybody out of here with Etrailer today, we're gonna be taking a look at the CURT Trailer Ball. When it comes to trailer balls, there's a couple of things we need to make sure of, to make sure it's gonna work. One, this is an 1-7/8 size, so make sure to check your coupler, make sure that it is the right size, and also keep in mind the weight that you're working with. It's gonna have a 2000 pound weight limit, and with that, that's just gonna make sure that the ball's in the right size, and it's gonna be able to handle some of the weight that you have on your trailer. And then another thing that really matters is the ball mount. So we are gonna have to pick one out, and one thing we need to make sure of is of course, we wanna pair it up with the weight rating of the ball to make sure that the ball mount is not gonna be limiting us at all, and also with the plate that amounts to, it needs to be in between 3-7/8 inch to 7-7/8 inch thick, anything more than that it's not gonna work, anything less isn't gonna work either.

The shank is about two and eight inches long, and the diameter is three quarters of an inch. With the diameter, that's just gonna be the hole on your ball mount, and we wanna make sure that that is the correct size, anything bigger than that there's gonna be a lot of play and anything smaller than that, it's just not gonna fit. With this, we really wanna piece this together kind of carefully just, to make sure everything's gonna be safe on the road. So once you figure out capacities, once you figure out the right size, and then of course just make sure that the ball mount works with it, you're pretty much ready to go. It's made of stainless steel, so it is gonna resist against that rust and corrosion pretty well.

If you we're to upgrade, there are some that are machined out of one piece of metal. So those are gonna be coated as well, so that is gonna be an upgraded version of this, but when it comes to trailer balls, it just gets the job done. Pretty much, that's all there really is to know about the CURT 1-7/8 trailer ball..

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Toyota Camry SE Sport
    For your 2019 Toyota Camry SE Sport the best hitch option is the Curt # C11576 as it is the most hidden option available since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. For trailer wiring then you'd want the part # 118763 for the most reliable and easiest install option. For a ball mount you'd then want the part # C45521 and for balls # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-350 Wagon
    For your 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-350 wagon, you'd want to use the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11189. The # C11001 is a fit for the E-350 sedan only, and wouldn't fit your wagon. If you're planning on doing some light duty towing, you'll need a ball mount like part # C45521 and # A-82 for a 2 inch trailer ball or # A-80 for a 1-7/8 ball. You'll need to see your dealer for the trailer wiring harness. I'll also link you to our selection of accessories that are compatible with your vehicle.

  • Correct Towing Capacity of Curt Hitch for 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    The correct capacity for Curt hitch # C12234 is 2000 lbs towing and 200 lbs tongue weight. I took a look at the owner's manual and it states that your 2004 Pontiac Vibe has a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 lbs, which is the weight you would need to go by. That hitch does come with a drawbar and pin and clip, though if you are looking to tow you will also need a 4-flat connector, which you can add with T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118458. For a 1-7/8" hitch ball you would need # A-80...

  • 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...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver That Fits 2016 Chevy Cruze Limited
    I checked with the manufacturer, and can verify that the only Curt trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2016 Chevy Cruze Limited is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11425. The other option you were referring to is actually not a fit for the Limited, it is only a fit for the standard Cruze. I have added a link to the instructions as well as a video install for you to check out. If you plan on doing some light towing with your 2016 Cruze Limited, you'll need some other parts, which I'll...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Audi A4 Allroad
    We can help you out with a trailer hitch receiver and bike rack for your 2018 Audi A4 Allroad, starting with the hitch. For that I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11448. I really like this hitch for your Audi because it is a fantastic value relative to other hitches that fit your vehicle, and has a nice design with a hidden crosstube. This is an installation that many people can do themselves though if you aren't comfortable with it you can absolutely get a local auto body...

  • Best Trailer Hitch for a 2004 Volvo XC70
    I do have a trailer hitch receiver that will fit your 2004 Volvo XC70 but it has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening, not a 2" receiver tube opening. They do not make one with such for your Volvo and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13559 that you referenced will not fit. The correct trailer hitch I recommend for you is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12318 which as previously mentioned has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. The 1-1/4" receiver tube opening however can still do mostly...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid
    The Curt Class II hitch part # C11576 is a confirmed fit for the 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid models like what you have. We checked with Curt to verify this as a fit. You'll want to check your owners manual for any towing related capacities/restrictions. For trailer wiring you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # 118763 because it installs without requiring any hardwiring to your vehicle wiring and because it has our most reliable converter box. For a ball mount you'd want the part # C45521 and...

  • What Size Hitch Ball Will Fit my 2002 Chevrolet S-10 Bumper Ball Hole
    In order to make a proper selection for a hitch ball, you will need to find out what diameter size ball your trailer needs. It should be stamped on the trailer coupler or frame, either 1-7/8 or 2 inch. All bumper ball holes are 3/4 of an inch, so you will need to pick a ball with a 3/4 inch shank diameter. The ball you were looking at, part # A-82, is a 3/4 inch shank diameter and is a 2 inch diameter ball. If you need a 1-7/8 inch ball, you would use part # A-80. Those are our only stainless...

  • Towing Motorcycle Trailer with 2013 VW Beetle
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11260 features a 1,500 pound towing weight capacity, as you mentioned. As long as you stay under this number with the loaded weight of your trailer the hitch is absolutely up to the task. The other area you will need to look at though is the towing capacity of your 2013 VW Beetle. You will always be limited by your setup's weakest component, so if your Beetle has a lower capacity than 1,500 pound this is the number you need to follow. This information...

    For your 2014 Audi Allroad B8.5, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11195 which is a confirmed fit. Then you will need a ball mount like # C45521 and Pin and Clip # F-4. Then you'll need a hitch ball. I recommend # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch diameter hitch ball to match your trailer coupler. For your wiring, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. This will allow...

  • Do They Make a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Volvo S80
    The only trailer hitch receiver they offer for your 2005 Volvo S80 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12285 which has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. Therefore, no they do not offer a trailer hitch receiver with a 2" receiver tube opening on your 2005 Volvo S80. You can obtain a 2" receiver tube opening by using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # C45785 but please keep in mind that this will reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50%.

  • How Come Only 1-1/4 inch Hitch Size is Available for 2018 Hyundai Kona
    2 inch trailer hitches are typically only made for vehicles with higher towing capacities like trucks and SUVs. Since your 2018 Hyundai Kona is a lighter duty vehicle there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches made for it like the Curt # C11529 that you referenced. Then for trailer wiring we have the zero-splice kit # 119250KIT as a fit that I recommend that easier to install and also very reliable. For a ball mount you'd then want the part # C45521 and for hitch balls # A-82 for a 2 inch ball...

    While there are no trailer hitch fits for your 2007 Mercedes-Benz E-350 Sport, we might still have a solution for you if you can let me know what you plan on transporting. I've reached out to Curt in the past about the Trailer Hitch # C11701 not fitting the Sport model of an E-350 and he said in his notes it didn't say anything about the exhaust being an issue so it is likely that they found that the Sport model requires a lot of fascia trimming for the hitch to fit (as the exhaust and...

    You want the Curt, part # C11354, for your convertible 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. The other hitch you mentioned, part # C11260, fits the coupe model but not your convertible. If you plan to use the hitch to carry a cargo carrier, bike rack, or some other non-trailer accessory you also need to use a support strap, part # 18050, in order to be compliant with Curt's warranty. If instead you'll be towing a trailer with your Beetle, you don't need the strap but do need the recommend ball mount,...

The hitch comes will all of the hardware to get it mounted as well. Please note that even though this trailer hitch has a max trailer weight rating of 3,500 lbs, Ford has determined that the max towing capacity for your EcoSport is 2,000 lbs so that is your limiting factor.
