## Description

When it comes to ball mounts, a CURT loaded ball mount is the complete package. These stingers come with all necessary towing components and are pre-fitted with a factory-torqued trailer ball, eliminating the need to mount and torque your own trailer ball. This means a loaded ball mount is ready for towing right out of the package! Each one also comes with a pin and clip for mounting the ball mount into the appropriate size receiver tube. CURT offers loaded ball mounts in a variety of styles and weight ratings. This CURT loaded ball mount features a gross trailer weight capacity of 7,500 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs. It comes with a 2" trailer ball, making it an excellent choice for towing most boat trailers, utility trailers, campers, livestock trailers and recreational vehicle trailers used for hauling dirt bikes, motorcycles and ATVs (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). This ball mount also has a length of 7-1/2", a drop of 2" and comes with a gloss black powder coat finish to resist rust, chipping and UV damage. All CURT loaded ball mounts feature 2" x 2" shanks and are made with the same superior quality we put into each of our products.

Review: Heavy duty 2", just what I wanted. - Heavy duty 2", just what I wanted. I've been refurbishing my Dad's old utility trailer. I left a heavier duty 2" coupler on it. I was originally thinking about going to a larger ball size when I found this. So I decided I should go with the upgraded the 2" ball on my truck, something a little beefier than I needed. I believe all the trailers in my life are 2", big and small. Now I've got a 2" ball setup that is rated higher than all of them. I'll never have to think about it again.
Review: Solid 2" trailer hitch for the price - Used this 2" trailer hitch a few times with zero issues. The specs listed on this are a 2" drop or a 3/4" rise if flipped the other direction. It's rated for 7500 lbs gross trailer weight, and 750 lbs max tongue weight. Although these are the specs for the trailer hitch, every vehicle has a different rating that should be equal or lower than the rating of the hitch. Be sure to verify those numbers to ensure proper towing safety. My primary use case for this was in an older 2001 Land Rover that needed the hitch a little down and away from the bumper. 2 inches was the perfect amount of drop for this without sacrificing too much for a trailer to stay level. The addition of the black paint made it a really snug fit in my receiver. Albeit, there might be a very small amount of rust buildup in the receiver. When installing, I need to give it a few light kicks to get it all the way in. It shouldn't need to come off very often, so this is just fine for me. I would prefer it being a little snug rather than rattling around all the time. The hitch ball and included hardware are of decent quality and have had no issues with corrosion or rust build up yet, but time will tell. The bolt securing the hitch ball was properly torqued right out of the box, but is something should check any ways. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a good quality hitch to tow their toys around with.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this mount fit on a class II hitch receiver?**
A: This 2" hitch will not fit into the Class II receiver. Class II Trailer Hitch Receivers: Designed for light-duty towing - Are rated up to 3,500 lbs GTW and 350 lbs TW - 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver hitch opening - Will work with Class I and Class II accessories, such as bike racks, cargo carriers. Class III Trailer Hitch Receivers: Designed for trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles - 2" x 2" receiver hitch opening - Rated up to 6,000 lbs GTW with 600 lbs TW - Allows for more gear to be carried or towed Works with all Class III accessories.

**Q: Is this item easy to install ? (nissan altima)**
A: Yes, as stated below, the Ball Mount with Ball just slides into the receiver.  Installing the receiver is not really complicated but it takes time and you need someone or something to hold up one end as you bolt up the other.  It's supposed to be a 1/2 hour job with two people, i think it took me 45-60 minutes by myself.  I wasn't really keeping time though.

**Q: Does anyone know if you can mount this upside down to gain height?**
A: Yes. You get a 1/2" rise by flipping it vs a 2.5" drop not flipping it.  Be warned:It's really tight.  I used a Reese hitch ball wrench (pn 74342 for sale on Amazon), and some large channel lock pliers. You only need a vice if the receiver is not installed. otherwise you can put the mount into the receiver sideways, put the wrench on the nut and carefully jump on the wrench a few times. once the wrench moved, I was able to use the channel lock pliers to hold the ball in place while I continued loosening the nut with the wrench.

**Q: need to fit a 1997 F150 van**
A: Fits all 2" receivers.
