It is heavy duty and well-built. I am not disappointed at all and I get comments everyone smile from people who are used to traveling overseas asking where I got the European style hitch from. The only downside is the lack of interchangeability in the size of the ball itself but I don’t think that’s a big deal because I set it up for what I need it for and keep a vehicle vehicle for longer periods of time.

Still looks great and works perfectly. It may have the disadvantage of not having interchangeable balls but Let’s be honest, once you’ve used it for a year regularly it’s going to be corroded enough you’re not gonna want to change it out anyway so having multiple sizes of them sitting around and not having to change the ball mount is a better design anyway



by:

Solid, heavy as heck. Bought this model because 1) I only have 1 lightweight trailer (Malone xtralight, also purchased from etrailer at the same time) and it’s light weight. 2) I am stuffing this into an adaptor also bought from etrailer to further stuff into a receiver also purchased from etrailer. 3) All this is on the back of my 2018 Subaru Outback. Beings that it’s a Subaru it’s not going to be used to drag a huge or heavy trailer. I’ll repeat this part in my review of the adapter, buy probably from etrailer, a receiver lock that is sleeved, to be both 1/22 and 5/8 and long. That way if you don’t want this sticking way out the back (shin killer) you can use 1 lock and go all the way through receiver/ adapter/ and this ball mount. Otherwise buy you’ll need 2 locks 1 for receiver to adapter 5/8 and a second 1/22 to go through adapter into this unit.

A side benefit is it’s just different. It’s not an everyday boring looking ball mount, it’s heavy duty so why not.



by:

Very good quality item. Although I needed to buy a hitch adaptor as I have a 2" hitch. I'm using this with a European bike rack so I don't need the towing capabilities though.



by:

Just received it and haven't made any long trips with it yet, but it fits very snugly into my OEM Subaru receiver and the pin fits very snugly through both, so already I'm anticipating a much more quiet and rattle-free experience than I've had with the Curt & DrawTite equipment on my other vehicles.

Will follow up this review with any substantial information.



by:

Worked with Madeline at Etrailer for a bar and wiring harness fir a LS460
She did the research and took the time to get me the right parts for my vehicle
Outstanding service and pride in their products
Will only shop here for all trailer needs



by:

I like that this design keeps trailers level rather than pitched forward for my 2007 Subaru Forester. Seems incredibly strong because of its weight and being one piece.



by:

This drawbar is a perfect fit for my vehicle. Feels very sturdy with a high quality look and feel. Wanted something that was one piece instead of separate parts that needed assembly and this is the one. Thanks etrailer for great communication and speedy delivery.



by:

It was easy to install the product to our hitch so that it will make it easier to place our trailer in the area we need to.



by:

It was available for exactly the rise needed for our GO trailer. No issues, clean look and hangs tough. Nice choice for a sleeker look.



by:

works with great with hitch and stows e asily

Small footprint makes for classy look on my Equinox. Pulled my Bass boat no difficulties.

I used the chat box and the "ask the experts" features on the website and got fast helpful answers to my questions. I'm ready to tow. Thanks for your help.



by:

Great Product! After installing a Curt (C11184) Hitch on my '08 BMW 135i convertible, I needed a drawbar and ball. I really liked the elegant design and one piece simplicity that this one has. It is very sturdy and the dimension measurements were accurate. The whole reason I got it was to trailer my new (old) wood boat home from the barn I found it in. Once the hitch was on and the (56146KIT) Wiring kit was installed. This drawbar slid right in. Thanks to the accurate measurements the trailer sat at the perfect height the first time.



by:

The drawbar looks fine and as advertised. The first attempt to deliver resulted in an empty box showing up on my doorstep. The bar fell out in transit due to a rip in the box. Probably because the box gets tossed around during shipping. They pleasantly provided a replacement but it was packaged the same and I noticed TWO holes in this box that looked to be from the same sort of situation. Fortunately the bar didn't fall out this time. Anyway, you would think a trailer business would know how to pack up their products! ??



by:

Great product. Fit and finish is excellent.
I've
mounted the Curt 1 1/4" hitch to my 2007 Mazdaspeed3.
Taking the rear bumper off, which only took 30 minutes (maybe a few minutes more than that) made it very easy to attach the Curt hitch to the car.
I wanted to compliment the Mazdaspeed3's overall appearance, so, I decided to go with the Curt euro ball mount 11 3/4" .
Very pleased with the outcome.



by:

This worked out to be the perfect ball and mount for my purpose- occasionally having to use my car to tow my utility trailer. I got this and the DrawTite receiver hitch for my '99 Monte Carlo and everything went together in less time than the estimated time that had been shown. Very happy with both purchases!



by:

Look and quality of the mount is awesome. Beefy in size as well. If using on my particular application, removal of rear diffuser is necessary. If they had extended it another inch it woulda been perfect. 2015 Audi a3 tdi. Wouldn’t let me add a third pic but it’s a finger tip space between the ball and bumper with diffuser removed.



by:

It isbthe right size and helps with the height difference to make the trailer more even with the back end of my Accord.



by:

The order was received, and it's perfect. I especially like the euro style hitch, fits right in with my VW and our custom trailer, that we tow about to car shows!



by:

I ordered a euro style, stinger. It arrived quickly. I would use Etrailer.com again, and recommend it to others. Also, I had to ask customer service some questions, which I don't remember. I do however, remember them answering those questions, in a friendly manner. So good customer service as well, which is hard to find, any more. Do businesses with this company. They are earning it.

  • Recommended Ball Mount for a 2018 Infiniti Q50
    The best ball mount for towing a jetski with your 2018 Infiniti Q50 is going to be the Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar with 2" Ball item # C45552. A Euro-style drawbar is a one piece unit, with the trailer ball permanently welded to the drawbar. It will give you a 3-1/2" rise from the top of the shank to top of ball. This will be helpful considering how low to the ground the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11407 sits. You will also need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56248...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Mini Clubman 2012
    For a 2012 Mini Clubman the recommended hitch is the Curt # C11387 which is a confirmed custom fit. This also fits 2011 model. This hitch has a 2,000 lb towing capacity which you'd need to stay under that weight and the towing capacity for the vehicle listed in the owners manual. I attached an install video for this hitch as well. For a ball mount you'd want the part # C45552 and for trailer wiring part # C59236.

  • Choosing the Right Curt Class II Euro Style Ball Mount to Tow a Trailer Level
    If you are measuring to the top of the coupler then I will have to ask for the measurement to the bottom of the coupler instead. This is because the coupler covers the ball so the measurement to the bottom of the coupler provides a more accurate representation of what kind of rise or drop is needed to tow a trailer level. I am willing to bet that the measurement to the bottom of the coupler will have you at just about level. That would make the best Curt Euro-style ball mount with a 2...

  • Can Hitch Ball Size Be Changed Out on Curt Euro Style Ball Mount
    Thanks for reaching out, John! The Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar # C45552 has a 2" hitch ball. The hitch ball is fixed and can't be removed so if you want this style and you need to be able to use both a 1-7/8" and 2" hitch ball you'll need to also get the part # C45551 so you have 2 different ball mounts. For an alternative solution I recommend pairing the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45521 with the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set # 802b which gives you a way to swap out the hitch...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 1992 Mercedes 400E
    There is a special circumstance when using a Class I trailer hitch for towing. Basically you will have to use the ball mount specified by the hitch manufacturer or it can void the warranty. This is to ensure that the wrong ball mount is not used (which could be too much stress on a Class I hitch). Trailer hitch C11085 does not fit your 1992 Mercedes 400E. The hitch you need is # C11816. The recommended ball mount for this hitch is # C45503. For a compatible 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256...

  • Class II Curt Hitch Fit for 2013 Cadillac SRX
    For your 2013 Cadillac SRX the Curt Class II hitch part # C12070 is a confirmed fit and would work well. Since you have the port for the trailer wiring the Curt harness part # 56096 would fit and work well. For a 2 inch hitch ball ball-mount you would want the part # C45552 or for 1-7/8 inch part # C45551.

  • What Happens to Center Reverse Light When Hitch is Installed on a 2004 Mini Cooper
    The rear center light of your 2004 Mini Cooper will need to be removed to install the Curt hitch part # C11126. The hole where the light was is where the hitch opening will come out. Check out the install instructions link I attached for more info on how the hitch installs. For trailer wiring you would need the part # 119250KIT, for a ball mount # C45551 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or part # C45552 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Recommended Ball Mount for Harley Davidson with 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Receiver
    We currently do not carry any stainless steel or chrome ball mounts for the 1-1/4 inch receiver size. We do however have many options that have the black power coat similar to the frame of your Harley Davidson and chrome hitch ball options to give you that chrome accent. I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 1-1/4" Hitches - 2" Ball - 3/4" Rise - 3,500 lbs # C45147 or the euro ball style ball mount # C45552. Both of these give you a 2 inch hitch ball.

  • Trailer Hitch For Towing a Jet Ski With a 2012 Toyota RAV4
    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12108 has been tested to be strong enough to tow 3,500lbs with 350lbs of that being tongue weight, which is plenty for a jet ski. This exceeds the rating on your 2012 Toyota RAV4. If you have the V6 your tow rating is 2,000lbs or with the Inline 4 you will be able to tow 1,500lbs. You will want to ensure that the jet ski and trailer with all the gear you will carry do not exceed the ratings given by Toyota. I recommend the Hopkins Plug-In Simple...
