CURT 2" Class III Ball Mount 10-1/4" 4" Drop / 2" Rise — 7,500 lb GTW, Gloss Black

If you tow utility trailers, boats, campers or most recreational trailers with a pickup or SUV, a Class III ball mount like the CURT 45060 pairs with a standard 2" receiver to provide stronger, more reliable towing than lighter-duty mounts. This 10‑1/4" mount offers a 4" drop or a 2" rise to help level trailers and is CNC‑formed and robotically welded for consistent fit and performance. A smooth, mechanically descaled surface and durable gloss black powder coat help resist corrosion and road damage for long service life.

How much weight can this ball mount safely handle?

This CURT Class III ball mount is rated for a 7,500 lb gross trailer weight and a 750 lb tongue weight. Always abide by the lowest rated component in your towing setup — whether that is the vehicle, hitch, ball, or trailer — to determine your safe towing limits.

• Gross trailer weight (GTW): 7,500 lb
• Tongue weight (TW): 750 lb
• Follow lowest-rated component rule for overall towing capacity

Will it fit my vehicle and trailer ball?

The mount uses a 2" x 2" shank designed to insert into any industry-standard 2" receiver. The hitch features a 1" diameter pin hole to accept a common 1" shank trailer ball (ball sold separately), and the rounded shank eases alignment when inserting into the receiver.

• Shank size: 2" x 2" to fit standard receivers
• Ball hole: 1" diameter to accept most trailer balls (sold separately)
• Requires a hitch pin or lock (not included) to secure mount

What installation and durability features should I expect?

CURT 45060 is CNC-formed and robotically welded for repeatable dimensional accuracy and structural integrity. Each unit is mechanically descaled before finish, then coated with a glossy black powder coat that protects against rust, scratches and UV exposure to withstand road use.

• Length: 10-1/4" to provide proper clearance and leverage
• Finish: gloss black powder coat for corrosion resistance
• Manufacturing: precision forming and robotic welding for consistency

How does the drop and rise affect towing performance?

With a 4" drop and up to a 2" rise, this ball mount lets you match the trailer height to your vehicle for level towing. Leveling improves trailer stability, reduces sway, and helps distribute tongue weight evenly across the hitch and vehicle frame.

• Drop: 4" to lower trailer tongue for level towing
• Rise: 2" available when a higher setting is required
• Choose correct combination of rise/drop and ball height for safe towing

Who is this for? The CURT 45060 is ideal for pickup and SUV owners who tow midsize loads such as boats, single-axle campers, utility trailers and other recreational trailers that require a durable, industry‑standard 2" ball mount. It suits drivers who want precision manufacturing, corrosion resistance and straightforward installation. If you need heavier capacity or specialized features, compare CURT's other ball mount options to match vehicle and trailer specifications.
