This is a great hitch. Highly recommend this hitch. This is my second curt hitch, first one was on my ford f450 but unfortunately that one wouldn’t fit on my new truck, do to shank size.
by: Johnathan M04/03/2019
This hitch has worked out great for me over the last year. It’s very heavy duty and easy to adjust. I’ve hauled a 9,000 lb boat, long-distance on numerous occasions without issue. I also haul a landscape trailer on a daily basis weighing over 5,000lbs and haven’t had a single issue. Great hitch that was significantly cheaper than others and is very high quality. I’ve recommended it to several people and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. The only thing I would like to have now in a hitch is a tongue weight gauge, but it isn’t necessary.
by: Shane06/05/2022
Excellent product that fit my need perfectly. I tow with 2 trucks, one needs a drop and the other needs it up a bit. I usually leave it on one truck but I also tow 3 different trailers with it and was sick of having to carry all sorts of hitches.
I've had no complaints at all with it, I'd definitely buy recommend it to anyone.

It works perfect. Adjustable so I can tow my boat, and dump trailer. Easy to use and still looks brand new.
by: Jerry B.07/09/2016
I am very impressed with C45900 ball mount. Curt is an excellent manufacturer. The only thing I did not like are the snap rings on the pins. I have seen those get hooked unintentionally or be pulled to steal the ball mount. I replaced Curt's pins with Grade 8 bolts, drilled holes and secured with a padlock. It would be nice if someone made a locking hitch pin with enough span for the channel. I added the reflective tape for higher visibility. I live in Phoenix where they have a plant. Please run this idea by them and let me know what they think. The two locking hitch pins would only raise the price by $50. If you have a vendor who has longer pins please let me know. Using unsecured pins is asking for trouble. Thanks--Jerry

I like the overall versatility of this hitch but the only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because Curt is manufactured in the USA. The box I received says it was made in India! I hope this metal is strong and well made cause my horses lives depend on it.

Thank you for your review. The Curt hitches are assembled in the USA but not the ball mounts. The only adjustable ball mounts that we carry that are made in the USA are the B&W adjustable ball mounts like part BWTS10040B.

Pictures attached. Curt makes such great quality products. I love this new hitch.

Great hitch, after one year I still recommend. Get one!
by: Greg 09/13/2023
I have had this ball mount on my truck for about a year now. Has held up well with no real issues. One pen did disappear earlier this year, but not sure if it somehow worked out on its own or if someone stole it. Replacement was easy to find. Easy to adjust, does not make any noticeable noise.
by: David 10/10/2023
Wroks great. I can adjust this hitch for all 6 of my trailers.
by: Robert 09/12/2023
I am completely satisfied with the adjustable hitch. It's heavy duty and easy to adjust.
by: Michael09/27/2022
This hitch mount replaced about 6 others that I kept in my truck under the seat. This hitch is so easy to use. It's strength is so much more than my truck can handle so I have vot been worried about it failing. Adjusting takes seconds. I wish I would have had this for longer and I have had two friends that bought the same one. We all love them. I'm currently a "Band Dad" and I have to often pull about a half dozen trailers. I gave my old hitches to the band and.... everyone wants to borrow mine if I'm not using. Game changer for sure.
by: JohnnyB09/28/2017
Excellent product. Installed in minutes. I tow a 14 k lb dump trailer. Needed the additional rise on the hitch. The draw bar is adjustable so that I can tow my utility trailer as well. High quality like most products I have purchased from etrailer.com

Extremely heavy duty hitch assembly. Well worth the cost
by: Robert 08/30/2023
Very quick in delivery. Received it 1 day earlier than expected. This ballmount is definitely heavy duty. Haven't used it yet but looks like it will handle 14,000 Lbs with ease.

Thanx for a high quality hitch with low or no noise.I will be towing a 12000 lb 30Ft.Rinker.
The hitch is very easy to adjust.

This ball mount turned out better than I was expecting.
Looking forward to putting this to work.
by: James07/20/2019
The hitch worked great I bought this hitch plus a Curt Lunette ring C48660 for my pull truck. Used the hitch setup for the first time last night and worked flawless, I would definitely recommend this setup to my friends the price was great and the hitch is well built.Thanks etrailer
by: John 07/25/2023
Nice heavy duty hitch, adjustability is nice good price
by: David05/01/2023
Still haven't towed anything with it yet but it seems very solid. I do think it will rattle some in the receiver because it is loose in my 2" receiver on my 2019 F150.
by: Chris Hall12/29/2018
This hitch is as KISS as an adjustable hitch could be. Built very well, with good thick gussets, a solid receiver shank, perfect welds and a good powder coat. The fact the trailer balls are built from one forged piece means no worry about a nut loosening and no weld to potentially break. I would go ahead and recommend you buy two replacement rubber isolators and just go ahead and put them in the other two holes in the hitch so no matter where the ball is it has some contact with an isolator without having to move the one it comes with. I highly recommend etrailer, they have great prices and fast shipping and they put out a lot of very helpful videos and pictures of the products they are selling.
by: Cody 10/18/2023
Great customer service and quick delivery. The lady that helped me was very knowledgable and friendly. I highly recommend this company. Thanks for the great experience.
by: John C05/11/2017
Ordered Curt C45900 for my work truck. Chose this product because it's rated slightly above what I need, it's steel and highly adjustable. Etrailers website is very easy to navigate, has a lot of installed photos for comparisons and has fast shipping. Will continue to shop with Etrailer as needs arise.
by: Joseph 03/10/2021
I had the 2.5" receiver for my 2014 Ram 2500 so it was a no brainer to go with the Curt 2" receiver for my 2002 Chevy 2500.

Still very happy with this receiver. Highly recommend it.
by: Steven.H06/03/2016
Love this ball mount, i just bought a new dump trailer and needed something with some meat to it. This product it solid steel and can with stand a very heavy load. I would reccomend this product to anyone. I started with another brand product and it just could not handle the tough jobs.

- How to Determine Drop Needed on Ball Mount for Lifted 2013 Ford F-350It sounds like you are needing a ball mount with a drop so you can tow your trailer level with the lifted 2013 Ford F-350. In order to determine the exact drop you need, you just need to take a couple quick measurements on your trailer and truck. Starting with the truck parked on level ground, take a measurement from the ground to the top of the trailer hitch receiver. Then, with the trailer also on level ground, measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the measurement...

Measure from the top of your receiver down to the ground, and choose a ballmount that would place the trailer ball right in the center of that range, and you will be set for most trailers. An adjustable ball mount like part # C45900 might be a good option. It has a maximum rise of 5 inches and a maximum drop of 6 inches, so you can adjust the height exactly as needed.

If you subtract the GVW from the GCWR that will give you the maximum GTW you can safely tow. These figures can be found on the white tag inside your driver's door jamb.

view full answer... - What Hitch Ball Size is Needed to Tow a Hi-Lo Towrite 22T TrailerThe hitch ball size of your Hi-Low Towrite 22T depends on the model year. In the 90's it appears they used to use 2 inch hitch balls and then moved to 2-5/16 inches. All of the models from that point have a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball. If you want to be sure you have the correct hitch ball on hand, I recommend the Curt Adjustable Ball Mount # C45900 which has both hitch ball sizes and will give you adjustability to tow level.

I have attached a link that will take you to our available selection of ball mounts, as well as an article that explains how to choose the best one for towing your trailer level. I recommend looking...

This ball mount has more than 7,500 lb capacity when used with either ball size.
view full answer... - Will Using Curt Adjustable Ball Mount with a Reducer Sleeve Lower the Ball Mount CapacityI spoke with my contact at Curt about adjustable ball mount # C45900. He said that if you used a reducer sleeve that it will not reduce the capacity of the ball mount.

When the 2-5/16 inch ball is used, the adjustable ball mount has a 14K capacity which is reduced to 10K with the 2 inch ball.

view full answer... - Could Curt Adjustable Ball Mount C45900 Be Used with 2008 Chevy SuburbanSo to determine if the Curt Adjustable Ball Mount # C45900 would provide you with enough drop you'll first need to verify the amount of drop needed. To do that you need to measure from the top of you hitch opening on your Suburban down to the ground and then from the bottom lip of the coupler on your trailer when it's sitting level down to the ground and compare those two dimensions. If you find that the distance is 6 inches or less the # C45900 will work great.
