Expert Answers about Pintle Hitch


  • Is There a 2" Hitch Ball for the Curt SecureLatch Pintle Hook
  • I do have an option for you but there isn't any sort of quick change hitch ball system for the Curt SecureLatch Pintle Hook part # CU97FR which comes with a 2-5/16" ball. That said, you can either swap back and forth between this and the Curt SecureLatch Pintle Hook part # CU47FR which comes with a 2" ball or change the hitch ball each time with the Replacement Hitch Ball for Curt SecureLatch Pintle Hook part # CU67FR.

  • Can a Swivel Type Pintle Hook Be Used with 2 Hitch
  • The best option I have for an adjustable pintle hook that slides into a 2" hitch is the Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate part # C48341 with the Curt Pintle Hook part # C48210. I am not aware of any way to use a swivel type pintle hook with a 2" hitch. That said, you might be interested in Lock-N-Roll system, like part # 336TS528 and part # 336VS501 which would give you the swivel feature and 2" hitch compatibility.

  • Will the Pintle Hook/Hitch Ball Combo Fit on a Standard B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount
  • I am glad to hear how much you love your B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10049B. I would be happy to get you a similar pintle hook and hitch ball combo as well but unfortunately it is not as easy as just using an adapter on the one you have now. The reason that this cannot be done is that the shank on the ball mount you have now is different than the one on the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball part # BWTS10056, therefore the pintle hook/hitch ball position of this ball...

Purchasing this combination would give you the ability to change balls and to raise or lower as needed. I've attached a diagram of how the system works as well as a video review on a 2012 Ford F-250.

  • Pintle Hook for a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch with a Long Shank
  • If you are just looking for a standard pintle hook without a ball then I think the Curt Pintle Hook part # C48010 will be the best option we have for you. This pintle hook has a 2-1/2" shank and measures 9-1/2" from the center of hitch pin hole to the center of pintle hook. It has a 20,000 lb towing capacity. If you need something with a longer shank then you will need to look into a two piece unit like the Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate part # C48340 with the Curt Pintle Hook part #...

  • Pintle Hitch Ball Mount Rated for Over 20,000 Pounds for 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch
  • There isn't a pintle adapter for ball mount # C45902 rated for 21,000 pounds but I may have a solution for you. What you could do is use ball mount plate # 337PM25812 with Convert-A-Ball pintle hook combo # PH1. When used as a pintle hitch the capacity will be 20,000 pounds. Or for a pintle/ball combo we have # C48012 rated for 20,000 pounds but it is not adjustable. I know that falls just under the 21,000 pounds you are looking for but to go above that you would need a 3 inch hitch.

  • What is Needed for a Pintle Hook for a Ford F-250 Super Duty to Tow a Trailer Level
  • You will want a pintle hitch or any ball mount on a vehicle at the appropriate height to tow the trailer level. To do this you will need to park the vehicle and trailer on level ground and take some measurements. I have included a link to an FAQ article that will help. On a pintle hitch you would need to measure from the ground to opening on the hook part and on the ring measure from the ground to the bottom of the ring. Once you know the rise or drop you need what you can do is get an...

  • Recommended Pintle Hitch Made In the USA
  • The pintle hitch you referenced is not made in the USA. We also have Curt Pintle hitches that I called to confirm are also made overseas. My recommendation for you is the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball - 2" Hitches - 10,000 lbs/16,000 lbs, # BWTS10056. I reached out to my contact at B&W and confirmed that this part number is made in the USA...specifically in Kansas.

  • For your 2017 Ford F-250, I recommend taking a look at the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook # BWTS10055 if you have a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. This pintle hook and hitch ball combo will provide you with a pintle hook to connect to lunette ring couplers and a 2 inch ball to connect to standard ball couplers. The adjustable height will give you a maximum drop of 8 inches and a maximum rise of 6-1/2 inches. This pintle hook also has a nice, stowable design that will allow you to store it underneath...

  • How To Install a Pintle Hook On an ATV
  • I do have an option for you but I am not aware of any pintle hooks available for a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver. Therefore, you u will need to replace the 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver with a 2" trailer hitch receiver. In order to do this we have a few options, the Reese Towpower 3-Way ATV Hitch part # RP7065100 or the Curt ATV Ball Mount Adapter part # C45006 should work. These will then allow you to install a pintle hook like the Buyers Pintle Hook part # 337RM5P.

  • Availability of Pintle Hook for 2 Inch Thick Lunette Ring
  • I called a few of our pintle hook manufacturers as well as went out to our warehouse to measure some for you. Unfortunately, none of them will accept a 2" thick lunette ring. The majority of them are designed for a 1-3/4" thick ring like the Buyers Products 15 Ton Pintle Hook part # 337PH15. It looks like from the photo you attached you are right at the 1-3/4" measurement so the Buyers Products 15 Ton Pintle Hook may still work for you. If not your best option would be to replace it with...

  • Can the Hitch Ball On a Pintle Hook and Ball Combo Be Replaced
  • I do have an option for you but I don't recommend replacing the hitch ball on your pintle hook and ball combo. The reason for this is because unless you replaced the hitch ball with an exact replica then you run the risk of the hook disengaging and losing the trailer which is an enormous safety hazard. I looked through our section of pintle hitch balls and none of them match the exact dimensions that you provided. For a 2-5/16" hitch ball and pintle hook combo, I recommend the Buyers Products...

  • Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2" Hitches - 10-1/4" Shank - 14 Hole - 10,000 lbs Item # C48342 is going to allow for the most drop of all the pintle hook mounting plates so it would be the best bet. Then using Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - Bolt On - 16,000 lbs Item # C48200 will get you to roughly 10 inches of drop.

  • Is There a Pintle Adapter for the Flash Solid Steel HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount
  • I do have an option but the Flash Solid Steel HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount part # FA49-00-5925 doesn't have an pintle hook/ball adapter. Instead, you can use the Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Channel Mount part # C45926 which has similar specs and can be adapted to a pintle hook/ball combo using the Curt Channel Mount Forged Pintle and Ball part # C45920.

  • Recommended 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball for Tow Ready Pintle Hitch
  • The Tow Ready 2-5/16 Inch Pintle Hitch Ball # 63052 referenced in your question features the same 1-1/8 inch shank diameter as your existing Pintle Hitch Ball # TR63051, so it will work great as a replacement. This hitch ball also has a shank length of 2-1/4 inches and a weight capacity of 14,000 pounds. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.
