    CURT Trailer Hitch Receiver

    Three factors to consider

    There are three main things to consider when selecting a trailer hitch ball mount: how much weight you are going to be towing, what size receiver tube your trailer hitch has and how much drop or rise your ball mount will need (below).

    Trailer weight vs capacity

    First, be sure to select a ball mount with enough gross trailer weight capacity to fit your trailer. Trailer weight is one of the most important aspects of towing, and you should never exceed the weight capacity of any component of your vehicle, trailer or trailer hitch setup.

    Hitch receiver size

    Next, determine what size shank you will need. Receiver tubes come in a handful of standard sizes, including 1-1/4, 2, 2-1/2 and sometimes 3 inches, so finding a ball mount to match is relatively easy.


    How to determine drop or rise

    After you know how much weight you will be towing and the size of your receiver tube, you will need to determine the drop or rise necessary for your trailer.

    Drop or rise is the amount of height difference between the trailer and your tow vehicle, whether that difference is positive (rise) or negative (drop).

    The diagram offers a quick explanation for how to determine your needed drop or rise. Take the distance from the ground to the top of the inside of your receiver tube opening (A), and subtract it from the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler (B).

    B minus A equals C, the drop or rise.




    Product Description

    When it comes to towing on the job, there is no room for messing around. Either your equipment can get it done or it falls to the wayside. Give yourself the advantage with a CURT commercial-duty forged ball mount. Defying all preconceived ideas about heavy-duty towing, these solid steel monsters are packed with the strength necessary to tow virtually anything your commercial receiver trailer hitch can handle. The secret to their strength is their one-piece, zero-weld construction. Each CURT forged ball mount is designed to surpass other 2-1/2" options to accommodate the added stress of heavy-duty towing. Forged steel construction makes these ball mounts incredibly strong and able to tow up to 20,000 lbs. of gross trailer weight. CURT forged ball mounts can also handle trailer tongue weight up to 2,700 lbs., giving them the added advantage they need for towing the largest of trailers. They come with a black carbide powder coat finish to provide the necessary protection against rust, scratches and UV damage so that they are able to face the challenges of hard, honest work. From the construction site, to the industrial park, to the farm, a forged ball mount is the obvious choice, giving you the power you need for towing dump trailers, car haulers, toy haulers, livestock trailers, chopper boxes, gravity boxes, dual-axle utility trailers, RVs, small yachts and much more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc).All CURT forged ball mounts feature a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" shank, allowing them to fit into any trailer hitch with the same size receiver tube. The CURT class 5 Commercial-Duty hitch is an ideal counterpart for one of our forged ball mounts. With their especially high towing capacity, forged ball mounts are frequently used on full-size pickups, SUVs, flatbeds and other commercial trucks.
