Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Curt heavy-duty forged ball mount for a 2-inch hitch with a 2 5/16 ball and a 6-inch drop. Now the glory of this ball mount here is it does come with the ball and the ball's actually gonna be pre-torqued onto there. And that's something that people don't really consider until they have to torque down their ball because you need a torque wrench that's gonna have that torque setting that's gonna go high enough and also a socket that can fit on here. And a lot of times you're trying to use a wrench on top and torque this down, so it can be a little bit tricky to make sure that they're properly torqued. So having this already torqued down is one less step that you'll have to do. Now, this is a 6-inch drop.
Now you do have the availability for a 5-inch rise, which is gonna open it up to the different applications that you can use this for. You are gonna have to actually get that ball re-torqued and flip it around. But to have that ability available is really nice. Speaking of applications, this is pretty heavy duty, as the name implies. The ball, as well as the ball mount, are rated for 15,000 pounds with a tongue weight rating of 1500.
So it's pretty heavy duty. You just need to make sure that your truck can actually handle that weight as well as the hitch on the vehicle. Now the ball mount is solid steel construction and the ball is a steel construction as well with a chrome finish. Now this black powder coat carbide finish is matte and it looks really sharp and it's gonna be looking sharp for a long time as it's gonna resist corrosion and rust. Now, the pin and clip is not included with the ball mount but we do have plenty of options here available at etrailer including locking ones, and that way you can actually lock this in place and know that no one's gonna walk away with it in their hands.
Now we're lowering our coupler on our trailer, which is the 2 5/16, to our ball mount right here. Now, if you do have different trailers that have a different coupler size, you can actually get a different ball to go on this same ball mount. You're just gonna wanna make sure that it has that same inch and a quarter hole diameter and you should be able to swap those out and then re-torque them down, you'll be ready to go. So now with our trailer loaded up and our safety chains hooked up as well as our electrical, we're ready to tow. And that was a look at the Curt heavy-duty forged ball mount for a 2-inch hitch with a 2 5/16 ball and a 6-inch drop..

Towing starter kit includes forged ball mount; 2-5/16" diameter, chrome-plated, and pre-torqued hitch ball. Pin and clip or hitch lock are sold separately. Slides into 2" square trailer hitches.Heavy duty and ball mounted saves me the hassle. The new F350’s are taller and had to make adjustments for the cargo trailer and 5th wheel. I can count on etrailer to have what I need.
Joshua K, the Customer Service Rep with whom I called in and spoke with gets a bazillion stars. The online description doesn’t include if it is qualified to give rise or not.
Josh checked through the product description and figured I could remove the ball, invert it (and recalibrate) and get 5“ of rise. Josh assured me after checking my zipcode that even when selecting free shipping I would have it by the weekend. I ordered on Tuesday morning and it arrived Thursday - 2 days later!
I unpacked the box and was pleased to read that it is qualified for 5“ rise. Very assuring since I wasn’t sure and trailering can be stressful as is.
I really appreciate Joshua K’s customer service. Thanks for making this an efficient and pleasant experience!
Item as described at a good price.
Does exactly what should. No issues, solid well made perfect.
Exactly as advertised and actually got delivered a day early
I t looks like an excellent product but I will have to return it (no fault of yours) because it is not the right hitch for my trailer and I have no other use for it. The person who sold me the trailer gave me the equipment that works for it so I am returning your product.
Great customer service and great products! Earned a new new costumer for a very long time. Was user impressed with their prices, selection, and willingness to help me
very nice, solid build
This heavy duty trailer 8” drophitch with locking pin is amazing. A solid steel construction with no welds is very well made. This hitch fits into my 2 1/2” 10,000# rated receiver and won’t have any problem pulling my car trailer loaded with a Jeep and other items.
Everything, when I need something for my truck I always turn to etrailer. They make it so easy to get the product you are looking for. The quality of their product and the Customer service are the BEST! Thank you.
Perfect, just perfect i tow my 15,000 lbs food trailer around almost every day so i did put some hitch grease on the ball and the wear is basicaly non existant, the fit in my receiver is much tighter than those cheap ones from autozone.
Arrived sooner than expected. A very sturdy hitch with pin. I especially appreciate having the rounded edges where we frequently walk at the back of the SUV. 4" drop is correct to match my truck and trailer hitch height on my Subaru Ascent.
Product was excellent unfortunately wrong size hitch 2 1/2 inch not 2 inch as on car. Service excellent exchanged no questions.
Arrived on time and ball hitch was as advertised. All good!
Definitely a quality built piece. I'm glad I went with Etrailer too. The service is great. I will continue to use Etrailer for my trailering supplies.
Thanks
Always liked e trailer. Gr8 company
I tried twice to get this hitch and ball from [online vendor]. Twice the shipment was lost and I had to get a refund. Shipment from etrailer is right the first time and arrived quickly. Plus, since the ball is already torqued on the ball mount, I don't need to by a large socket.
Does what it says on the label. Not sure what else to say. I'll update this if it ever breaks towing my 14k lb trailer.
We’ve already installed it and hitched up the horse trailer. Works great for my needs. Half the weight of the much heavier weight distribution system we had been using (and will continue to use for Interstate travel). Hook up was fast and easy.
Very stout hitch!! Nice fit and looks badass on my dually. This hitch is heavy and heavy duty. Would buy again but won’t need to…….it will last forever. You won’t be disappointed.
Very heavy duty! Exactly what I needed for my work trailer. Highly recommend.
This thing is a beast.
As for etrailer, as always, super fast shipping and no complaints.
I ordered the wrong receiver and called customer service and they were very polite and helped me wit getting the right reciever,their relievers are second to none,built very well and very heavy duity,great folks to deal with.
