Recommended Hitch Pin for a 2" Ball Mount  

Updated 10/09/2022 | Published 10/08/2022



Question:

Just curious, what hitch pin is best suited for sustaining the weight capacity of this ball mount? My receiver is also rated for 17,000lbs. Can be standard or locking. Thank you

Expert Reply:

The Curt Ball Mount item # C45340 has a 17,000 lbs capacity and can be secured to your hitch by using the Curt Pin and Clip item # C21500 or the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock item # e98880.

For a compatible hitch ball you can use item # A-90 for a 2" Hitch Ball or item # C40008 for a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball.
