Question:
Could you tell me where the Curt trailer hitch balls are manufactured? I would really like something Made in the USA or anywhere other than China. Thanks,

The Curt trailer hitch balls are all made in China. Many trailer hitch receivers too are made outside the U.S. but Curt does manufacture their hitches stateside.
The 2-5/16-inch hitch ball you referenced, Curt # C40030, has a 15K gross trailer weight capacity. For a comparably-rated 2-5/16-inch chrome-plated ball that is made here in the U.S. you can use B&W part # BWHB94004. This is rated for 30,000-lbs. Its shank is 1-1/4-inches in diameter and 2-1/2-inches long.
2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1-1/4" Diameter x 2-1/2" Long Shank - Raw - 30,000 lbs
2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1-1/4" Diameter x 2-5/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 15,000 lbs
