Today we'll be reviewing part number A-90. This is the Curt hitch ball with a 2" diameter, medium shank and it's rated at 10,000 pounds and that comes with a gross towing weight. This hitch ball is going to give us a shank diameter which is this portion here of right at 1 1/4". So, when choosing a ball mount, you want make sure that the ball mount does have at least 1 1/4" opening to receive the 1 1/4" diameter shank that our ball mount has on it. The shank length, measuring from the bottom of the flange, the bottom of the shank bar is going to measure about 2 5/8". If we take the measurement from the bottom of the flange to the top of our hitch ball, it's going to give us a measurement of 2 3/4". Now again, this ball does have a capacity of 10,000 pounds.
It comes with a nut and a lock washer. Another thing that I want to mention real quick is that when choosing a ball mount you want to make sure that the ball mount has a 1/2" to 1" thick draw bar. As you can see on our ball mount today, it measures right around 1". So, it's definitely between that 1/2" to 1" mark. So this would be an appropriate ball mount to use. It also has 1 1/4" size diameter hole for our hitch ball. So the way this would install is we would take our ball, place it through the hole, place on our lock washer and secure it by tightening down our nut.
Our nut size is 1 7/8". So you need to make sure you have that size of wrench or socket to tighten this down and torque it down to the specifications listed by the manufacturer. That's how you install it and that's going to complete our review of part number A-90. That's the Curt hitch ball with a 2" diameter, medium shank rated at 10,000 pounds. .

Durable, chrome ball has a 1-1/4" diameter x 2-5/8" long shank with wrench flats. It's chrome finish provides superior strength and corrosion-resistance.After balking at the cost to have an auto-shop add a trailer to our Toyota Highlander, we found etrailer.com and decided to take a chance. The "how to" videos factored considerably in our decision to buy ... they made it look so easy! And surprise! It really -WAS- that easy. We used standard block-type ramps (the kind you can buy for $40 ) to get the SUV up off the ground high enough to get underneath to do the work. Everything came off as easy as it was showed in the videos. Other than the fact this bar is a heavy so we had our teen daughter help hold it steady while we bolted it into place (i.e., get help for when you go to lift it), it went super smooth. Thanks for saving us $280 over the cost the car dealer quoted us! P.S. - be sure to watch the linked videos so you get the right trailer lighting attachment and ball hitch for your new hitch. 510345
We are very happy with our trailer hitch, and all the accoutrements that we purchased with it. Your videos were enormously helpful, the hitch went on easily with a bit of help from our teenage daughter to lift it up into place, and we recommend your business to friends when they express an interest in getting a camper.
Anna - 05/20/2019Very good product and easy to install. My configuration allowed the lift brackets that came with the order to be used, so I didn't have to order the bracket kit. The installation videos on the e-trailer were excellent. Delivery was also prompt, only four days for me. My trailer only required a 2" ball rather than the 2 5/16" ball supplied. I had trouble finding a 2" ball locally with a 1 1/4" diameter shank. I ordered this from e-trailer and again delivery was prompt. I did have to buy some larger wrenches to work with the 2" nuts on the balls so keep that in mind if your a due-it-yourselfer. The manual was pretty good, but I got more out of the videos. I little more description on the initial setting of the friction sway control would have been helpful (i.e. is the factory setting midway? lowest? highest)? 267227
My order was received on time and with everything that was ordered.The hitch has been put on my trailer and working great.Thanks to Suzanne and her knowledge of the product was excellent.Thank You. The 2" ball was just what I needed thought it may have not been available for the bigger hitch but thanks to Suzanne it was just what I needed.Thanks again and I'm sure if I ever need more from E Trailer I will be in touch. 162651
Economy shipping was lightning fast! Product is just what I wanted; it is pulling my 7,500lb horse trailer with no problem. The other reviews that worry about the chrome scratching...I think most of us know that's a given when one places a few tons of metal on top. Great product so far! 159864
It has been a year and the hitch ball is holding up nicely! This was a great choice for my 7500lb trailer
Mike c - 11/07/2015Simplicity is the key here. Very easy to order, customer service (Lisa D) asked a few questions about vehicle and what I needed to Tow, and like magic, she found this at a very good price which saved me $$$. It was very easy to install, heavy duty construction!! It shipped faster than other online sites could have done, a day and half later, UPS showed up with it. Back to installation, I watched the video and it worked as advertised. I never used one before, but it just works. Very satisfied. 552984
I ordered 2 of these hitch bells, as they are hard to locate due to the large shank diameter. They are of good quality and the service and shipping time were excellent. 566918
FYI - you will need a 1 7/8" wrench. Heavy Duty 2" without using bushings on large hitches. Perfect condition when arrived 020514 450 ft. lbs torque on the nut. Woo-Wee. Eat your breakfast! 115787
3,000 miles on it in the past year. Zero issues. Still a 5 Star deal!
Joe R - 02/05/2015High quality. the nut is bigger than the balls with the 1" shank. I have a wrench for the nut on 1" shank but not this one, I was able to get it tight enough with a monkey wrench and a bench vice. you could probably get a wrench form harbor freight for cheep or take it somewhere and have them install it. 27248
The ball is perfect fit for 1-1/4 receiver hole. A couple of taps to the top of the ball to get it fully seated and yiur ready to torque the nut down. If your looking for a heavy duty ball, this is rated at 10k lbs and should do the job. I was impressed with not only fulfillment but also the speed of shipment and the price was unbeatable! Customer service was also top notch taking time to contact me throughout the order and shipping process. No doubt this will serve my purpose of hauling around my trailer used for cars, tractors, motorcycles and other miscellaneous project items. I've included a couple pictures so you can get an idea of how heavy duty this ball is built. Great buying experience all the way around. 472755

Over the last couple of years, I have purchased different parts for my towing needs from etrailer.com. The parts have ranged from hitch adapters to trailer tires. The customer service from Crystal K., and the quality of the products from etrailer.com have all been the very best that you could expect. I highly recommend that you at least consider etrailer.com for anything that you may need when you are towing or RV'ing. 686839

Just right fit for the 2 1/2" hitch on my 2500 HD. Product was easy to find on etrailer site, price was great and order was here in a few days. You guys always come through! 672720
Needed this for wife's rig. Stronger ball for her horse trailer. The only down side is trying to make the 450 ft. lbs. torque specified for the nut. Looooong cheater bar I guess. 672092

I purchased this ball to install on my Weight Distribution hitch. It fit perfectly in it's location. After one year of ownership, I'm satisfied with the performance. I check the nut torque every few trips and it has not loosened since installed. I enjoy doing business with etrailer. 651180

Hitch Ball is exacly what I needed for towing my boat. Heavy duty and quality product. 622067
These people are the best great products and a fair price to go with it. Their shipment is the quickest I have ever witnessed. 620276
Best and fastest service I've ever had from an online store. 619374
Purchased this item due to its 5 ton rating. It was easy to install (with the proper sized wrenches). Even though my max towing limit is 9800 lbs and my actual towing weight approximately 3 tons. The stresses caused by towing and braking could test the limits of your equipment. I would rather have the piece of mind of extra strength, than to meet the minimum limit. It does have some slight galling / brinelling of the ball surface after a year. This item is difficult to find locally, as most available are 4 ton load limit. Etrailer.com had these in stock and shipped quickly. Thank you. 619135
Perfect! The information on how to measure answered all my questions. 617227
