## Description

Out of the monotony comes one name that rises above all others. CURT trailer balls are designed for strength, ease of use and, ultimately, to get you to your destination without hassle. CURT 2" trailer hitch balls are constructed from quality steel and are made with precision to fit your 2" trailer coupler like a hand in a glove. They are able to tow most standard-duty and heavy-duty trailers such as utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, livestock trailers and recreational vehicle trailers for hauling ATVs, snowmobiles, personal watercraft and more. These tow balls are an excellent extension of your class 3 or class 4 trailer hitch and ball mount, and are the ideal choice for most pickup trucks and SUVs (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc).This particular 2" trailer ball offers a ball capacity of 6,000 lbs. It features a 1" shank diameter, a 2-1/8" shank length, 0" of rise and a nickel-chrome finish to protect against rust and scratches. With its fine-threaded shank, this 2" trailer ball also offers an added measure of holding strength and provides smooth installation and torqueing. To give you peace of mind while towing to that next destination, we also carefully test our trailer balls and ensure that each one meets U.S. VESC specifications.

Review: Great hitch - This hitch is perfect for towing a lightweight trailer. It's very easy to install/remove and store when not in use. It's very heavy and the threading is smooth. It's a great practical item at a great price. Very pleased with this purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome ball
*by U***K on September 14, 2023*

I like the looks, design, and construction of this ball. It's attractive, functional, and robust. We use it with a Curt ball mount and a Curt tow hitch receiver for towing our inboard ski boat and its trailer. Curt makes good products and we believe our confidence in them is well justified.
