Question:

While either the BandW or the Curt will work for me, one says made in America and the other says assembledinch in America. Both say made in USA on their labels. Is the only difference which person wrote the copy for the item or is the Curt product derived from overseas parts? If I was lazy and didnt ask I would just order the BW. But work is slow with Coronavirus...….

Expert Reply:

The Curt # C45312 and the B&W # BWBMHD30011 ball mount are wholly manufactured in the USA.

Both ball mounts feature a 2 inch drop or a 1 inch rise if inverted. The B&W has a 16K capacity, with the Curt model having a 12K capacity. Both are designed for trailer balls with a 1-1/4 inch diameter shaft.
