Easy installation, good manual. No problems on day to day use.
by: Kenneth 08/11/2023
Excellent product. Good professional advise given so that I bought the right product to fit my existing hitch. Courteous, professional service. High quality, good value product. Fast shipping at reasonable cost. Highly recommended. If if need other products this is the place
by: Preteesh09/07/2020
Worked perfectly.
Super easy installation and it carried a U-haul 5x8 trailer 1000 miles with almost full capacity on tow-limits.
A little disappointed that the connecting rod doesn't fit perfectly into the receiver hitch. So, when there is no weight on the ball mount, it is wobbly and makes an annoying metal-to-metal clinking noise whenever you go over a ditch. You can easily correct it with a piece of cardboard stuffing for cushioning or just take it off when not it use.
Great piece of equipment, works perfectly! Super happy with the purchase.
by: Michael04/22/2022
Great service, very helpful and friendly. If I need anything else in that line I will certainly use them
by: B Cash06/23/2017
Everything arrived pretty quick and the install wasn't too difficult for 1 person (would've helped to have an extra set of hands). Took a couple tries to line everything up and realize that certain brackets needed to be unbolted before the hitch would align (tow hook on passenger side, and a couple near the rear driver's side exhaust hanger).
Minimal trimming required for the underside of the rear bumper plastic on the driver's side to make room on an 05 wrx wagon. Also needed at least 1 extra long exhaust hanger (kartboy) for the rear to make everything level with my 3" turbo back APS exhaust.
Haven't gotten a chance to tow with it yet, but it feels solid.
by: Ron10/03/2022
My hitch ball fits like a glove into the receiver I installed this summer on my 2003 Suburu Baja. The ordering experience was easy and inspiring. Why can't all websites be so intelligent? I haven't used the hitch yet, but it's solid as a rock so I have no doubts all will be well.
by: Christopher08/29/2022
Pin broke with smallest UHaul trailer (unloaded) on back, dropping the hitch and trailer in the road. Fixed it with a better pin and hitch works fine now.
by: Taylor 09/13/2022
Easy to slide in and out of the hitch receiver, and it doesn't even rattle around and create noise when I'm towing.
by: MJ10/13/2017
Very heavy this product is. I was very surprised when I picked up the box it came in and felt the weight, which makes me glad I bought a bag to carry it in. The last hitch I ever got, from another plac, because I needed it in a pinch for my last car during a move, wasn't even close to being as heavy and it was about the same size and had the same weight capacity. The metal on that one also didn't seem right either, didn't have the smooth coating this one does. I am quite confident this ball mount from Curt, who has been in this business for decades, will easily take the weight of my trailer, which I use for things like mulch and stone, and then some.
Of course I don't ever plan to over load it, but if something ever happens that requires me to make fast lane changes, I am confident the ball mount won't give out on me. I will still use good safety chains though, I'd be foolish not to. If it's one thing I learned i life, anything can happen no matter how much you prepare ahead of time.

Excellent customer service and great quality products
by: George 03/21/2020
Quality product, well made, but design could be improved. The square bar that slides into the receiver on the car/truck is too long, resulting in the hitch ball being about a foot behind the bumper, at least it is on 2004 Ford Explorer. It becomes a trip, knee, or hinge hazard if not removed after towing.
by: Greg 03/12/2023
Absolutely what I expected. Installed in less than four minutes.
by: William 08/21/2022
Best price on small shank ball mount.

Etrailer products arrive exactly as described, they are easy to install and they are manufactured to a very high quality. I installed these on my Honda Accord and it was flawless.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Availability of Multipurpose Ball Mount for a 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch ReceiverWhen you get to the small 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers there tends to be more restrictions on what they can accomplish due to their lighter weight capacities. Unfortunately there are no multi-purpose, or special ball mounts that can be used with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. You will only be able to use the regular ball mounts. Keep in mind that when choosing the correct ball mount for towing you will want to take your trailer and tow vehicle to a level area and measure from the ground...
view full answer... - Availability of 1-1/4 inch Stainless Steel Ball Mount with 2 inch Hitch BallWe do carry 1-1/4 inch ball mounts with a 2 inch diameter hitch ball already installed on it in steel, but it is not stainless steel. The steel ball mounts do come with a black powder coat finish though that protects it against rust and corrosion. When deciding the correct ball mount for your application you will want to look at the Rise and Drop that it has to offer and choose one that has the appropriate Rise or Drop for your application. For example the Curt # C45147 has a 1-1/4 inch...
view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendation for 1-1/2" Hitch Receiver and 2" Hitch Ball for 2,700 lbs TowingWe do have a variety of ball mounts that fit your description, you just need to make sure the one you choose has the correct rise or drop to fit your application (see attached helpful article). For example, the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 1-1/4" Hitches # C45147 fits all of your criteria and then has a 3/4" rise and a 1-1/4" drop so if that matches what you're needing then you'll be good to go!
view full answer... - How to Choose Correct Ball Mount for Towing with a 2009 Audi A6The correct ball mount for your 2009 Audi A6 really depends on the hitch that's installed and the height of your trailer coupler when the trailer is leveled out. For example, when we installed the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver 24836 on a 2008 Audi A6 we found the receiver height (ground to inside top of receiver) was 10". So if the bottom of your trailer coupler is 11" then you need the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45147 which has a 3/4" rise and comes with a 2" hitch ball. Attached...
view full answer... - What are the Towing Capabilities of a 2016 Nissan Altima SRFrom my research on your 2016 Nissan Altima, it is not recommended to tow a trailer or vehicle dolly. The trailer hitch receivers made for your vehicle like the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24796 you referenced are light duty Class I trailer hitch receivers designed for carrying accessories such as a cargo carrier or bike rack. If you do decide to tow with your vehicle you will need a custom vehicle wiring harness like the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation For A 2022 Kia NiroWhen it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2022 Kia Niro The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4 inch # 36600 will work. The hitch has a gross towing weight up to 3,500 pounds and has a tongue weight up to 350 pounds. Your Kia Niro has a towing capacity of 2,866 pounds, so do not go over the vehicle's towing capacity. It has a bolt-on installation with no welding required. The hitch has a concealed cross tube which will have a sleeker look under your...
view full answer... - Is Underbody Trim Panel Reinstalled on 2023 Mazda 3 For Draw-Tite Hitch InstallationYes, to install the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24984 on your 2023 Mazda 3 you will need to remove that panel and it won't be put back into place. Hitch instructions only mention this when the hitch either prevents the panel fitting back into place or there is excessive trimming that needs to be done on the panel for it to fit back in place so it's easier to just remove it and leave it off. If you'll be using the hitch for towing I recommend installing the T-One Wiring...
view full answer... - Is There a Ball Mount for a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch With 1 Inch of RiseThe good news is that the additional 1/4" of rise you are trying to obtain is likely not going to be necessary when towing a trailer. The vehicle should sag a bit once you attach the trailer so more than likely, the ball mount you have now will work just fine for you. I would not worry about the additional 1/4" or so when towing a trailer as it will not have any negative effect. The bad news is that we do not offer a high rise hitch ball that will fit the Curt Towing Starter Kit for...
view full answer... - Availability Of A Class 3 Hitch For A 2002 Buick CenturyI do have an option for you, but we do not carry a class 3 hitch for a 2002 Buick Century. The only hitch available is a class 2 hitch like the # C12239 which has a 1-1/4" square receiver and a 3,500 lb towing capacity. You can absolutely still use this hitch for a small trailer. You will simply need a ball mount to go with the 1-1/4" hitch. For that I recommend the Curt starter kit # C45147 which comes with a draw bar, pin and clip and a 2" trailer ball. We also offer the 4 flat wiring...
view full answer... - Availability Of A 1-1/4" Draw Bar And 1-7/8" Ball With 0" Of RiseHappy Monday to you as well! I do have a potential solution for you. We do not carry a draw bar with a true 0" rise, but what you can do is use the Curt Class 2 Drawbar # C45503. This has a 3/8" rise, and will be the closest thing we have to a 0" rise. You can use it with the 1-7/8" hitch ball # C40001. Keep in mind that with this setup, you are limited to towing 2,000 lbs or less.

If you plan to do any towing, you can round out a tow package by adding the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56367 and the Curt Towing...
view full answer... - Is There a 1-1/4" Ball Mount with a 1" Diameter Hitch Ball Shank DiameterI may have a solution for you, but unfortunately the Curt # C45147 has a 3/4" hole for the hitch ball shank and I'm unable to locate any of the ball mounts we have available for a 1-1/4" hitch receiver that will allow for a larger than 3/4" shank diameter. With that said if you're towing with a 2021 Subaru Outback, those would typically have a 2" hitch receiver and have ball mounts available with holes for hitch balls with 1" shank diameters; you could use something like the TowSmart...
view full answer... - How To Extend A 1 1/4" Hitch On A 2021 Subaru ForesterIn order to reduce the risk of your hitch ball coming in contact with the rear bumper on you 2021 Subaru Forester, you first need to take a measurement from the receiver pin hole to the outside of your bumper. This will determine exactly how long of a ball mount you will need, and if you will need a hitch extender or not. I recommend looking into the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45147. This hitch kit comes with a 2" ball and fits 1- 1/4" receiver. It has a length of 9 3/4" from the center...

With the Curt T-Connector, you will be able to have brake light and turn signal capabilities on your trailer. If you need ball mount for your trailer, I recommend either the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs # 989891 or the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 1-1/4" Hitches -...
