The fit and finish is excellent again I haven't towed with it but I'm sure it's flawless love the products over there at each trailer great stuff have not been disappointed yet
You could pull a house with this ball. 30K rated.
The product I purchased, a 2-5/16" hitch 30,000 lbs ball, is very nice quality. I was very impressed. I had looked locally for a similar product, but was only able to find a hitch ball for about twice as much cost.
As to the service from etrailer, I was equally impressed. Soon after I ordered the product, I recieved a personal email expressing thanks for the purchase. While I realize this may have been an automatic "canned" response, I got the feeling there was custormer interest and I could respond in email if I wished. Thank you. I will continue to order all my trailer and hitch needs from etrailer.
After doing a bit of research I found I was towing with an undersized ball and ball mount. The information for this product helped me get the correct ball and mount for my trailer with correct weight rating and drop to safely tow my trailer. Product is heavy duty and has performed as expected.
As described heavy duty
Great part. No issues!
I ordered the 30000 lb. ball hitch for a gooseneck on my 01 F250 super duty. It arrived at the time that e trailer said it would. I was able to choose the way the item was shipped which saved me money over other online options. I just put it in since it was a raw Steel ball I hit it with a coat of flat black enamel to keep the rusting to a minimum. It is installed and ready to pull. I don't have a gooseneck trailer but now if I need to pull a rental or a friends I can. I like doing business with places directly like e trailer and cutting out the big box places that are not easy to communicate with if there is a problem. There wasn't any which is even better.
So the customer service is fantastic. I ordered the BWX2000 and it showed up missing the shank. It was not etrailer’s fault as the shipment initially contained everything but the carrier messed up and the package didn’t arrive with the shank. I spoke to autumn in customer service and she did absolutely everything she could to get me the 2.5 inch shank I needed but ended up sending me the 2in receiver by mistake. Again I wasn’t upset because I did not specify and by the time I realized it was wrong the part was already on the way. Long story short I got the 2 in shank in the next day, this shank would work but it was not exactly for the load I wanted to safely pull. Anyway I ended up finding the correct shank, ordered it and it is one the way. Now I will have both the 2 and 2.5 in shank for the same distro hitch but guess what I am completely fine with it backside I have two trucks, each with different receivers so for just a little bit more I can use this hitch for both my trucks just fine. Everything happens for a reason and I was completely happy with how autumn helped me out. She was great and called me back several times to let me know what both she was trying to do and get assistance from several of her techs. Thank you and I will certainly do business with autumn and etrailer again. Autumn was really nice to me and did everything she could to help me out. Thanks again. Jason
Ball is perfect. 3" hitch on the other hand is loose as a goose with about an .125 of play up and down and side to side. Quite disappointing but I wrapped it with tape.
Nice raw finish. Clean and smooth machined threads. Functional load rating is stamped on top of the ball.
The ball is fine. But, the nut is 1 7/8, and is supposed to be torqued to 450 foot pounds.
Who has a wrench that big? Not me. Nor my local Ace Hardware.
I asked Etrailer.com if they would torque on the ball to the hitch that I ordered at the same time. They told me "no", they didn't have a wrench that big - !
So, I ordered a socket and a 35 inch breaker bar from amazon - for $70 - more than my new hitch and ball costs. At least shipping is free.
Etrailer.com has lousy service/product support.
Nice finish , well manufactured 30,000 trailer ball . i just wanted to have a strong trailer ball , no weak links . I have two of these trailer balls , when I received the first one I thought " wow , nicely manufactured and nice finish " so ... I have one for each hitch , a load transfer torsion hitch and just a regular hitch .
Great mount, excellent quality and price, we ours to move a 34ft rigid inflatable boat on a dual axle trailer (GTW 8,500lbs) around South Florida. Never a problem and choice and service from etrailer couldn't be easier-thanks!
Getting the strongest ball mount takes the worry away from the ball being the weakest link. A little more money spent now can save a fortune later.
It's just a 2 5/16" trailer ball, right? Well, no, not exactly; it's a dead-serious, well-engineered piece of equipment that, if it fails catastrophically will ruin your day! These folks offer primo items like this for fair prices and, unless you're desperate for it and can't wait, doesn't rip you off for shipping the thing to your door. I'm just a guy with a truck and a travel trailer but each time I've bought stuff from these fine folks I've got what I thought I'd ordered with absolutely no surprises, so I give them just what they deserve: 5 stars!
Haven’t installed it yet although etrailer was easy to work with, and the product was delivered on time
I recently bought parts to replace a 30K lb stolen equalizing hitch. As I still had the half of the components, my best path was buy replacement parts including shank, hitch pin, hitch base and ball with all hardware. This saved me $100+ over buying a whole new hitch system. The quality of the hardware and rapid delivery (around Christmas) from etrailer was excellent.

etrailer will always have my business! Especially when they have people like Ashley! Very helpful and they actually care about your order and how you made out with it! The forged ball mount is very heavy duty along with the hitch ball! The boat and trailer that I tow is 8000lbs. Empty. With these two pieces I will be able to tow with confidence. It’s just too bad there made in China! Thank you. etrailer!
Great price and 30k pound hitch that looks great as well. Still have not figured out how you torque it to 450ftlbs, but I will get it tight. It does not have flats on the ball side to hold tight. Will work great as the replacement gooseneck ball on my flatbed. Great prices and shipping is reasonable and fairly fast on all products. Will buy from Etrailers and tell others whenever they are looking for parts.
Products have been excellent, website is easy to use.
Only complaint....shipping. My black water tank valve which is plastic and fairly fragile was put in the same box as my 2 5/16 ball and 2 1/2 hitch which together probably weigh 30lbs. When the package arrived (in true UPD fashion) you could tell the box had been thrown around. Luckily the valve was not damaged.....My thought is the valve and hitch/ball should've been shipped separate.
We like the items we bought,but I wish that it was all made here instead of China. It is not etrailers fault it is tye manufactures. Will who helped me was awesome to work with and he new what to do to get me what I wanted, thanks alot Will
I like Curt products as they seem to be high quality and less expensive than name brand competitors, especially the trailer hitch balls. The Curt gooseneck ball and tie down units on my 2015 Ram 2500 with factory attachment points seem to be of stellar quality and half the price of others.
This ball is no exception and I am pleased with it as received. I am going to paint it with a rust resistant black paint to protect the surfaces the coupler does not rub on as I really dislike rust :-). It will be used on a Blue Ox WD assembly.
Works perfect I'm using it on a 12,000 pound weight distribution hitch so it's completely overkill
Nicely machined ball at a good price. Feel lots of people over look the actual ratings when buying hitches and balls, simply do not have to worry about it with this ball and one of Curt's forged ball mounts. Also are made in the USA
