Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the CURT trailer ball. So this trailer ball is gonna be for your 2" couplers. Just make sure that your coupler on top, it says 2". So that is something that you want to make sure that you get so you can actually use it on the trailer you want to use it on. It's gonna have a 10,000 pound gross trailer weight capacity. So, you want to match it up with a ball mount that's gonna have at least that.
Just because we don't really want to limit our setup, whatever is rated for the lowest amount of weight, that is what weight you're gonna have to go by. So, definitely match those up. And whenever you're matching them up, you want to make sure that the base of the ball mount, it's gonna be at least 3/8" thick. And the shank, let me take this off real quick. It's about 2 5/8" long.
And then the diameter is gonna be about 1 1/4". So, this ball mount's 1 1/4", this is 1 1/4". So we don't have much play at all. Anything bigger and it's not gonna fit and anything smaller, there's gonna be a lot of play there. We really want to line our setup up right with the right parts, just so they kind of work together properly.
And that's pretty much all you got to do whenever you're picking out your ball mount. If you we're to upgrade, I mean, this one's made of steel, it has a chrome finish to it. But if you did want to upgrade, I mean, they're all gonna work the same, really. This one's just made of one piece and it's just all machined out of one solid piece of metal. But another thing you can do, as you can see, this has a much larger base than the CURT right here.
So this is gonna be very close whenever you want to get a little bit more of a rise out of your ball mount, but you don't feel like getting another ball mount. So that is an option on our website and it's just made of a little bit better material, but all of them will eventually start to look, eh, after you use them a while. One thing, if you do want to keep it nice for longer, we do have some grease. Just add that to your cart and put it on there, 'cause there's a lot of grinding and friction that happens with this. So if you keep that nice and lubed up, it's gonna last a little bit longer and it won't chip and rust away. And that's pretty much it for our look at the CURT 2" trailer ball..

Had problems finding the right product and sales person did a great job at finding what I needed.
All my 2” balls have always had a 1” shank and I didn’t have the smarts to know that i might have been using the wrong size shank. I watched the etrailer video of Jeff explaining the ball mount hitch and he said something that nobody else had said to me. “Make sure that ball mount hitch hole isn’t bigger by 1/8” than the hitch ball shank”! In other words, “You can’t use a 1” hitch ball shank in a 1 1/4” ball mount hitch hole.
It’s awesome you guys take the time to “educate” your customers that need the extra advice.
Nice ball, like jewelry. First class.
Received it literally the next day. Wow.
No problem
Seems to be very well made Time will tell on rusting issues. Flats on the ball and nut are larger than expected, and were to large for my standard 'ball wrench' purchased at the local big box store. I had to track down a friend with a welding show and use a very big socket and wrench to tighten it (1 and 7/8 I think it was it has been a month). Large Channel locks or a pipe wrench could have been used, but I expect they would have marred the surfaces.
Looks to be high quality, but disappointed that it is made in china
Made in China after I was told it was made in USA prior to purchasing.
