Expert Answers about Pintle Hitch


  • Which Pintle Balls are Compatible with Pintle Hook C48200
  • I pulled the two inch diameter pintle hitch ball, # TR63051, and part # C48200, off the shelf and you can swap this ball onto the pintle in part # C48200. If you only need a 2 inch ball and not both balls, you can order part # TR63011 which is the same pintle with a 2 inch ball. The note you read on the bottom of the page on part # 63018 pertains to a different manufacturer of pintle hooks, but this ball will not fit on the pintle hook combo, # C48200, because the shank is 1-1/4 inch...

  • Will Pintle Hitch Ball Combination Help Coupler From Coming Loose?
  • A pintle hitch combination with hitch ball like the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - Channel Mount - 20,000 lbs # C45922 is not designed to function like you stated. Can it work in this way...possibly. Here is the issue at hand. The coupler is latched to the hitch ball using the integrated system designed to work with the hitch ball to allow movement, but limits so that the coupler doesn't simply jump off the ball on a bump. A pintle hitch is used with a lunette ring to close...

  • Replacement Pintle Hitch Ball Options
  • You do make a good point, but almost all of our replacement pintle hitch balls are designed for a specific pintle ball mount system which is why you don't see that dimension on every product page. The only pintle hitch balls that are for generic ball mounts are the ones from Tow Ready and we do have that measurement for the Pintle Hitch Ball with 2" Diameter, 10,000 lbs GTW # 63018 - 2-1/2" from bottom of flange to top of ball. If this doesn't work for you just let me know what weight...

  • Recommended Pintle Hook for SUPER DUTY 2011-2022 TRAILER HITCH PINTLE MOUNT BC3Z19A282B
  • The Buyers Products 15 Ton Combination Pintle Hitch part # BP38FR mounts to an industry standard pattern of 3-5/16" on center side to side and 1-3/4" on center top to bottom. Therefore, so long as the pintle mounting plate uses this same standard pattern then you should be good to go. I don't know for sure about the SUPER DUTY 2011-2022 TRAILER HITCH PINTLE MOUNT but I'd be willing to bet it uses this same industry standard pattern.

  • Will B&W Pintle Mounting Plate Clear Lowered Tailgate on a 2017 Chevy Silverado

If you were to then add something like Pintle Hook, Bolt-On, 10K Item # C48205 with this setup you would be looking at a total extension of about 15 inches so it probably won't stick out far enough to clear a lowered tailgate on your truck.

  • Can the Buyers Products Trailer Hitch Ball for Pintle Mounts be Used w/ a Standard Coupler?
  • Yes, the Buyers Products Trailer Hitch Ball item # 337RB2516 can be used with a standard ball couple when it is mounted with a Pintle Hook like the item # 337RM62516. Just to add the Pintle hitch ball you were referencing the Buyers Products Replacement Ball item # 337RB2516 has a ball size that matches the standard type of hitch ball but the size of the shank is larger on a pintle.

  • Will The 10K Bolt On Pintle Hook # C48205 Work On 3/4 Ton Military Trailer
  • On your 3/4 ton military trailer the weight capacity should not be a problem with this Pintle Hook, you would just need to measure where you are going to mount this to see if it will fit.

  • Pintle Hook with 2" Hitch Ball Combo Needed for B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate
  • You can use the Curt Pintle Hook with 2" Hitch Ball # C48190 with the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # BWPMHD14005. When you use the 2" hitch ball your towing weight capacity is 10,000 lbs but then that is increased to 16,000 lbs when using the pintle hook.

  • Is Buyers Products Pintle Hook # 337PH10 Compatible with B&W # BWPMHD14004
  • The Buyers Products 10 Ton Pintle Hook # 337PH10 referenced in your question is indeed compatible with the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # BWPMHD14004 that you also mentioned. I went out to our warehouse to measure the bolt hole spacing on the pintle hook to verify this. Both items feature a 16,000 pound towing capacity. For mounting hardware, I actually recommend the Buyers Products Mounting Kit # 3378520, as it was specifically designed for this model Pintle Hook. If you want to use...

  • Receiver Hitch To Replace Pintle Ball Plate On 2015 Ford F550 Cab and Chassis
  • I do have an option for you but there is not a receiver hitch available that will bolt into the same bolt hole spacing as the pintle ball hitch. I recommend to add Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V Commercial Duty 2-1/2" receiver part # C15845 to the 2015 Ford F550. The Curt hitch will give you 20,000 lbs gross towing weight and then you can use Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Mount part # C45902 that comes with a 2" or 2-5/6" ball. You can also use the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16"...

  • Recommended Pintle Hitch with 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball for Lunette Ring and Coupler Compatibility
  • It sounds like you are looking for a pintle/ball combination hitch like the Pintle Hook Combo with 2-5/16" Ball # C48200. If you want a hitch mounted option, then you can use the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball - 2" Hitches - 13,000 lbs # C45910-15-20. Either of these options are compatible with the lunette rings like # BD1291010383 but will also allow you to use a trailer coupler on the hitch ball. If I misunderstood what you were asking please clarify the question for me.

  • The Curt Pintle Hook with 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C48180 will fit on either the 10" # C48341 or 12" # C48342 pintle mounting plates. I was able to verify this with Curt and have sent in an update as it would appear different people may have measured the components which explains the varying numbers.

  • Availability Of a Pintle Hitch To Fit Tightly Around a 2-1/2" Lunette Ring
  • As pintle hitches are designed to fit both 2-1/2" and 3" lunette rings they are all going to have some play which allows it to fit both rings correctly. I find the pintle hitches like the Curt # C48215 have far less play than others which have a combination ball and pintle mount.
