The Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2-5/16" Ball part # C45041 is not made in the USA but we do have options that are like the B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount part # BWBMHD30010. This is not a complete kit though so you'd also need to add the 2-5/16" Hitch Bal part # BWHB94050 and Gen-Y Hitch Pin and Clip for 2" Hitches part # 325-GH-096. This setup is over twice the price of the one you picked out and requires you to still torque the hitch ball but it's made up of all USA components.
