Very well made. Great price. I have used this with various sizes of balls to pull a variety of equipment on my trailers. I’m extremely happy with the ball mount.

Fits my Forester dealer-installed 2 inch receiver perfectly with the pin (purchased separately) in the first hole. The gas tank is in the way so I can't push it in further to the second hole. It is impressively strong, so there is no problem with it extending rearward a bit, but ideally I would get a shorter hitch if I could have a do-over, just for ease of storage.
by: Duncan10/24/2023
Purchased to extend the trailer away from the back of the vehicle, and increase the drop. Initially could not fit in to my receiver, eventually figured out that the end of the 2" square was mushroomed, had to remove excess metal with a rotary tool. now it fits as far as the first 5/8" pin hole. No issues with use - seems sturdy, metal finish seems durable. Didn't drop the trailer tongue as much as I had hoped, but that's on me - I was probably running a 3" drop before, but I thought it was 2".

Each time we go camping we look for ways to improve the experience, the C45230 will allow us run with a short or long ball mount, the longer extension allows me to open my tail gate without disconnecting from the trailer. I looked at other manufacturers but was only able to find what I was looking from CURT, and etrailer offered the best price.
by: John R07/22/2017
I recently had gotten a new tow vehicle and my 13' trailer was hooked up to and showed a lift to my hitch and back of trailer was lower. I called etrailer and talked with Cathy T who helped me with my problem. Very Satisfied with outcome.*****

Great hitch! Worked out perfectly for my needs. Very heavy duty and came in packaged very well!

This drop ball mount with extension, and the accompanying pin, ball and cover, was exactly what I needed to match my 16' Scamp trailer with my 2017 Highlander Hybrid. The extension allows the tailgate to clear the electric trailer jack. A perfect solution.

I havent used the hitch hardware much but I like it. The tailgate is the star. I like it a lot and the open design makes parallel parking in the city so easy. I also get a lot of questions and nice comments about the look.
by: Eddie01/22/2018
Like double length Pin holes. Have Jeep with Spare tire and need extra length to get ball past spare tire to hitch up utility trailer. When not used, use short hole so I do not walk into end of hitch.

All is good, no problems with any products. Like your web site, good prices, products stand test of time. Will use next time needed.
by: Philip05/02/2021
The ball mount is what I expected, and is a good product. The only downside is that there is too much freeplay between the ball mount and the receiver. I made some shims that I adhesively bonded to the ball mount, which makes for a much better fit.

Hi Philip, Thanks for your feedback! I would recommend using the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer, part # e99007 , to help get rid of the play in the hitch.

Curt is great equipment shouldn't have any issues with this part

Looks good. Powder Coat came damaged. Not sure if it has been previously installed into a receiver that would cause the blemish. Farthest hole to pin center is more like 10 1/2". Not sure if I'm able to use. Really needed the 11"+ dimension.

We measure from the center of the furthest pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole, which is where we get the 11 and 1 eighth inch measurement. Here is an extra long ball mount that we carry, Item # D-26, that measures 12 and 5 eighths inch long from center of pin hole to center of ball hole. A Customer Service representative will reach out to you about the powder coat damage.

The two hole ball mount for the 2x2 hitch along with a two inch ball was delivered on promptly as promised . The ball mount and two inch ball mounted in the two inch rise position was exactly what was needed to go along with the front trailer hitch which was also purchased from etrailer to raise the coupler to the right height. Before purchasing this new coupler I had to use a screw jack to mount the trailer to the front hitch because the swivel would not go low enough. With this new ball mount I can use the swivel jack to switch between the front and rear hitches. New ball mount did a great job solving my problem, thank you very much etrailer.
by: John W09/12/2019
Exactly what I needed. My new truck had a taller tailgate that would hit my trailers lifting jack and not open all the way down. With this coupler's extended length pin option everything works fine. Construction looks very robust, finish was good, and priced reasonably.
by: Richard G04/05/2019
Ball mount arrived just as described ( even a day early). After consultation and and advice from Nicholas I ordered a new ball mount for my van and trailer. I was a little skeptical but took Nicholas advice and am glad I did as it gives me the drop I needed. Thanks Etrailer & Nicholas
by: Doug11/14/2017
It works well. I originally bought it so I could drop my tailgate with the trailer on, but I mis-measured, so I use it when I don't need the length. Good quality, nice finish.

I am glad you brought this up, Jim. Curt uses rounded measurements on their product stickers. For example, on this ball mount, the sticker reads that it has a four-inch or a two-inch rise. The actual measuring from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform is going to measure three and five-eighths of an inch, and the actual rise measuring from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform is going to measure two and three-eights of an inch. I hope this helps.

This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver. If you plan on doing some towing with the hitch the recommended ball mount is # C45230. It has a 2-1/2 inch rise and 3-3/4 inch drop.

- Fit of Draw-Tite Class III 76050 Trailer Hitch On Extended Model 2020 Ram ProMaster 3500According to Draw-Tite, their # 76050 Class III hitch is a fit for the 2020 Ram ProMaster 3500 Extended model. For a trailer wiring harness on vehicles without the tow package, use # 22112 or # HM40975-11933 for tow package equipped vehicles. For a ball mount, use # C45230 along with the # PC3 hitch pin. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. I've linked to some installation videos that you might find helpful.
view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendation for Use with etrailer hitch e78KR for 2007 Honda ElementThe key when picking out a ball mount is to go with one that allows the trailer to be towed level. Without knowing the height of the coupler on your trailers I can't know what would work best, but I do have a solution that will work. The part # BWTS10038B is an adjustable ball mount that has two ball sizes. 2 inch hitch ball and a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball which would be what you'd most likely find on a smaller trailer. If you already have the Curt Ball mount, you will need to determine the...

These categories are ones that we developed to help organize the ball mounts on our ball mount page. There aren't hard and fast guidelines on how each ball mount is organized.

This is compatible with any 2 inch hitch receiver and will move the receiver opening 7-3/4 inches out from your trailer hitch.

If it is not, all you'd need is the 4 pole to 7-way adapter, part # 37185 which would permanently install on the rear of the vehicle. The adapter plugs into the 4-pole provided by the # 118467 and has 3 additional wire leads. The white wire grounds to the vehicle frame or chassis....

When we installed the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98854 on a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan we found it was about 13-1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver.

view full answer... - How to Select Correct Ball Mount to Allow Towed Trailer to Remain LevelYou ask a good question. It is important to select a ball mount for your towing set-up that allows the trailer frame to be level with the ground when it is hitched to the tow vehicle. Level trailers handle better and tend to have less sway. With that said, it is generally a good idea to start out with your tow vehicle's hitch ball sitting a good inch (or maybe a little bit more) HIGHER than the trailer coupler. This height difference tends to compensate for the normal rear-end squat on...

This ball mount features a 3-5/8 inch drop but also has two separate pin holes that let you change the length of the shank so you can get a bit more extension. When using the second hitch pin hole, there is a distance of 11-1/8 inches from the center of the pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole. The ball mount has a weight capacity of 7,500 pounds and a ball hole diameter of 1 inch. For...

This ball mound will do 2-3/8 inches of rise which would be close enough for your setup most likely when you take into account a bit of sag from the weight of your trailer's tongue weight. The ball mount is 10-1/4 inches from the center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole as well. For a 2 inch ball the part # 40038 would be what you need and for a 2-5/16 inch ball part # C40007.

For a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball to work with this ball mount we have the # 63847 which would fit and work well.

The most popular one we carry for a 1-1/4 inch hitch would be part # C45521 and for a 2 inch hitch part # C45230. We do carry a 2 inch hitch ball with a 2 inch rise built into it that has a 1 inch shank diameter, part # C40034. The thing about Class I ball mounts is that you are only supposed to use the recommended ball mount for the hitch that is installed in the vehicle. With...

I recommend going with a ball mount that has a 2 inch rise for the exact reason you mentioned, the truck will settle a bit with the tongue weight and any cargo weight. The ball mount we offer with a 2 inch rise is the Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270. This is considered an extra long ball mount, measuring 13 inches from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole. Another option is the Curt Ball Mount for 2 Inch Hitches - Angled Shank # C45230. This ball mount has...

A nice ball mount that will take care of the 3-inch drop you need is part # C45230. This ball mount has a 3-5/8 inch drop and has a towing capacity of 7,500-lbs.

To combine them you need to use a 1" shank ball. If you do not already have one then use the 2" Hitch Ball part # 63845 or the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball part # C40007 these both offer a longer shank to ensure it will have threads long enough with adding the additional space with the plate.

I don't have anything that fits all of those requirements exactly that is pre-installed except for an adjustable ball mount like the Curt Adjustable Ball Mount, # C45900.

Since you need 1-1/4 inches of rise to tow level a 2 inch rise would be perfect since there is bound to be a bit of rear suspension sag when you hitch up to your trailer. For a ball mount then I would recommend the # C45230 and then for a hitch ball # 40038 for a 2 inch ball or part # C40007 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.
