Let the packing/shipping department know they should've used a bigger box and packed it differently? Kinda disappointed as this isn't the first time stuff has been battle-scarred before I get it. Considering my next steps.

Working good. Etrailer is the place to go for all your trailering needs.

Exactly what I needed. Great product. I have purchased several items from etrailer and have always been 100% satisfied!



by:

v good quality. easy ordering.



by:

It is a Receiver!



by:

The box it was shipped in had a hole in it, so the mount slipped out of the box when it was delivered. There was some minor paint damage from that, but the mount itself seems fine.

still working great for my needs.



by:

The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is the lack of a ball flange nut indentation on both sides. I used this mount upside down to get my ball out and away from the bumper on my car. I had to use a pipe wrench on the ball flange to hold it while I tightened the nut on the other side. As you can imaging the wrench gouged the ball flange and the ball mount. This would not have happened if the ball mount had an inset for holding the hex flange of the ball. I could have just used a wrench on the nut and not had to hold the ball stationary while doing so. Improve this product please. No one likes gouges on their ball flange or ball mount.



by:

I needed a minimum 7-inch drop for pulling a trailer behind my 2013 Suburban.
This ball mount works great and I couldn't find this size at any of the stores I looked at locally.



by:

It.s too big for the receiver! It measures 2.030" and won't go in. I'm hoping to be able to grind off enough with my belt sander to make it work. If not it'll end up in the trash.

If your receiver tube is outside of the small end of tolerance, it could cause fit problems. It is acceptable to remove the finish of the ball mount via sanding, but using a grinder on it is not recommended as the heat build-up could have a negative effect on the composition of the steel the ballmount is constructed of.



by:

Not much to say, it's a ball mount. Curt makes quality stuff. Etrailer.com makes is easy to choose with a quick tutorial on mounts and sizes. Helped me tremendously because of my Jeep Wrangler Four Door having a 4" lift kit and monster tires. I would purchase from them again and again!



by:

Used on 2014 ford escape Titanium Hitch is Draw tite Item # 75758
This ball mount was perfect for leveling my trailer.

etrailer is A+ service.



by:

Gave me the right lift to tow a small utility trailer with my wife's Murano. Received the hitch in just a few days with the appropriate 2" ball. Both products look to be of high quality. Couldn't be happier.



by:

Will buy again.

I called the customer
service line to ask questions about fitment and confirm I will receive the right products (ball mount, ball, and lock). They were EXCELLENT and if they weren't sure, they did the right research to confirm. Definitely worth buying from them.



by:

looks like a good product and will fill my needs. Packaging and shipping could be improved. This is a steel unit and not enough shock absorbency was allow for. When package arrived hitch had poked through the side of the box. You need heavier boxes or more stabilizing packing when shipping these heavy products.



by:

1 year later still very happy with the with product. I have had no problems with it. Reminds me, I need to buy a break controller from you guys ASAP.



by:

I'm a bargain shopper...I scour the net to find the absolute best price on anything I need. I bought a hitch from here that wasn't what I needed, I was bummed (totally my mistake on the order), but the folks at etrailer.com got a return simplified for me, found what I needed with a quick phone call, and you simply won't find a better group of people to do business with!



by:

Was exactly what we needed. I had some initial doubts that it would be too far a drop but the lady I spoke with was spot on. It put our tow dolly in the exact perfect position!!



by:

This product is pretty much straight forward. I received it quickly, and the quality is excellent! The welds are clean and continuous. I needed it as a rise to increase the launch ability, of my boat, without going to far out of level. It will serve me well. Curt products have been great for me.



by:

Very high quality looking hitch. Very happy with everything I've ordered from etrailer!



by:

This is a great quality product for a very fair price. I recently made my first purchases with etrailer, and am most impressed with their customer service. This is a well run company!



by:

Item arrived as represented. George J upgraded shipping so it arrived earlier. Not my first order with etrailer and won't be my last.

Extremely well-made this hitch works perfect for what I need thank you

  • Can Curt Ball Mount C45100 be Safely Used to Tow 3,500 lb Trailer is Rise Position
    Great question, and I think you're on the right track. Even though the Curt Ball Mount # C45100 is rated for 3,500 lbs towing/350 lbs tongue while in the rise position, I like to have some kind of safety margin so that I'm not constantly checking to make sure the ball mount is holding up. For your application I recommend the MaxxTow Adjustable-Height Ball Mount # MT70068 because the weight ratings are 5,000 lbs towing/500 lbs tongue whether you are using it in the rise or drop position....

  • Trailer Hitch Recommended for 2016 Toyota Sienna
    According to Reese, their # 37096 hitch is a fit for earlier model domestic full-sized trucks, and wouldn't fit your Sienna. Your best bet would be the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75237 which is a custom fit for your Sienna. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118648 which fits all BUT the SE model or # 118498 for the SE. You'll also need a ball mount like # C45100, a hitch pin like # PC3 and a hitch ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8...

  • Selecting Ball Mount to Allow Trailer to Remain Level When Hitched to 2012 Honda Odyssey
    Passenger vans like the Honda Odyssey do sit fairly low to start with, and once you bolt on a hitch receiver and load some passengers and cargo, the bottom of that hitch tube can be pretty close to the ground. When we installed Draw-Tite hitch # 75270 on your vehicle we found that the hitch pin hole was 6-inches forward of the rear edge of the bumper cover. We also noted that the top of the receiver tube opening was 11-1/2-inches above ground level. This means the bottom on the hitch...

  • Does Tongue Weight Sag Get Factored In When Picking Out Rise/Drop Ball Mount
    This is a really great question! So ideally you have the trailer sitting as level as possible when you are towing. So that means that if your vehicle suspension is going to sag with the tongue weight of your trailer on the ball mount you'd want to compensate for that with the amount of rise/drop ball mount you select. How this normally works out is that you determine the drop needed (in your case 8 inches) and then go with a ball mount slightly higher like the Curt part # C45100 which...

  • How to Pick Out the Correct Rise Drop Ball Mount to Tow a Trailer Level
    I got all of the pictures you submitted and attached them to this page. However, I am still a little unsure of what you are looking for. The best recommendation I can make for you would be to check out the link I attached that details how to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount you need to tow your trailer level. It's kind of hard to tell, but it looks like your current ball mount is a 7 inch drop ball mount which would be similar to the # C45100.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness To Tow a 1,000lb Travel Trailer With a 2020 Jeep Renegade
    I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13269 for your 2020 Jeep Renegade. The 2" receiver has more ball mounts and accessories available for it making it a better and stronger receiver. The maximum tongue weight capacity is 525lbs and maximum trailer capacity is 3,500lbs. Be sure to not exceed the specifications given from Jeep for your specific Renegade.

    The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7194 for your 2015 Toyota Prius c has a 2" receiver that we measured to have a hitch height of 11-1/2". With this you can use either a fixed ball mount like the Curt # C45100 that has a 6" rise which would fit on a trailer with a hitch height near 15-1/2". You will need either a 1-7/8" # C40002 or 2" # 40038 ball. If you intend to pull different trailers that can have different hitch heights an Adjustable Ball Mount # BWTS10038B will allow...

  • Ball Mount with 7-1/2 Inch Drop For 2 Inch Receiver
    For reasons unknown, Curt actually rounds up to the nearest number for advertising their ball mount, which is confusing, but the true drop is 7-1/2 inches for the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45100. So this ball mount will work to get the drop you are looking for; along with the ball mount you will need a pin and clip or lock as well as a hitch ball. The complete list of parts is the following: - Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 6-1/4" Rise, 7-1/2" Drop # C45100 - 1-7/8" Hitch Ball...

  • Ball Mount to Use with EcoHitch for 2016 Volkswagen Golf and Uhaul Trailer
    When we installed the EcoHitch part # 306-X7309 on a similar Volkswagen Golf as your 2016 model we found that from the top of the hitch to the ground measured 11 inches. So based on the dimension that UHaul lists and how they measure you'd want a rise of about 6 inches like with Curt part # C45100 and then for a 2 inch hitch ball # 63845.

  • Is it Safe to Use Ball Mount With 6-1/2 Inch Rise on 2003 Honda Odyssey
    It is perfectly safe to use a ball mount like the # C45100 you were looking at with your 2003 Honda Odyssey. This ball mount has a gross towing weight of 3,500 lbs in the 6-1/4" rise position so it works for any trailer as long as it does not exceed 3,500 lbs. Like your vehicle, it is fine to tow something below the maximum capacity. It is only unsafe if you exceed that capacity.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for 7 inches of Drop
    For a 7 inch drop ball mount the closest and best option will be the part # C45100. This is a 7-1/2 inch drop that would get you close enough to level to have the trailer towed safely. It's better to be a tiny bit to nose-down than nose-up as it's commonly the nose-up situations that cause sway. For a 2 inch ball you would need part # 63845 or for a 2-5/16 inch ball the part # 63847.

If you're installing a trailer wiring harness like # 118790, you might prefer the Draw-Tite # 76253, as it includes the stand-off mounted to the hitch crossbar for the # 18144 trailer wiring harness mounting bracket.

  • Distance From Ground To Curt Hitch C13382 On a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
    In regards to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13382 which is a fit for a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube opening is 15". Therefore, if the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler (while level) is 21" then you need a ball mount with a 6" rise. The Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45100 will work for this but you also need a Pin/Clip part # C21500 and Hitch Ball part # 40038.

  • Can Hitch or Ball Mount Be Drilled for Additional Hitch Pin Hole
    Ball mounts like the Curt # C45100 are available in various lengths. This one happens to be 13-inches long, longer than some. Longer ball mounts are needed, for example, in cases of a truck having a slide in camper in the bed, or when using a towing-style bike rack. You do not want to drill your hitch or your ball mount as this will void the product warranty. A slightly longer ball mount poses no issues for your towing application.

    When the EcoHitch # 306-X7275 is installed on a 2017 BMW X3, the inside top of the receiver tube will sit about 11 inches from the ground. To determine which ball mount you need, you'll need to use the jack to raise your trailer tongue until it's level, then measure the distance from the bottom edge of the coupler to the ground. Subtract 11 inches from that height, and you'll get a good approximation of the rise of the ball mount you'll need. The average trailer coupler height is between...
