CURT Class 3 Ball Mount 45050 2"x2" Hitch Mount — 4" Drop / 2" Rise, 7,500 lb Capacity

CURT Class 3 Ball Mount 45050 is a heavy-duty 2" x 2" hitch mount rated for up to 7,500 lb gross trailer weight and 750 lb tongue weight, with a 4" drop and 2" rise for level towing.

This ball mount is built for trucks and SUVs that need a reliable, industry-standard 2" receiver accessory. CNC-formed steel, robotic welding, mechanical descaling, and a gloss black powder-coat finish combine to deliver a durable hitch accessory designed to resist corrosion and everyday road wear. The mount accepts a 1" diameter trailer ball (sold separately) and installs easily into any 2" receiver using a hitch pin (not included).

How much weight can this CURT Class 3 ball mount safely tow?

The 45050 ball mount is rated for a gross trailer weight (GTW) of 7,500 pounds and a tongue weight of 750 pounds. Always observe the lowest-rated component in your towing setup—the vehicle, hitch, ball mount, and trailer determine the safe limit. Overloading any part of the hitch system reduces control and safety.

• 7,500 lb gross trailer weight capacity
• 750 lb tongue weight capacity
• Observe lowest-rated component in towing chain

Will this mount fit my vehicle and trailer ball?

This mount features a 2" x 2" shank that fits standard 2" receivers on most trucks and SUVs. The mount has a 1" hole to accept a trailer ball with a 1" shank diameter; trailer balls and hitch pins are sold separately. The rounded shank simplifies insertion into the receiver and helps align the pin hole.

• 2" x 2" shank to fit industry-standard receivers
• 1" hole accepts common 1" shank trailer balls
• Rounded shank design for easier installation

How does the design hold up to weather and road wear?

CURT mechanically descales each mount before applying a gloss black powder coat that resists corrosion, scratches, and UV degradation. The powder coat adds a durable barrier against road salt, rain, and debris to preserve function and appearance. Structural strength comes from CNC forming and robotic welding for consistent weld quality.

• Mechanical descaling ensures a smooth surface for coating
• Gloss black powder coat resists corrosion and abrasion
• CNC-formed steel and robotic welding for consistent strength

What are the mount's dimensions and adjustment options?

The 45050 measures 8-1/4" overall length, offers a 4" drop for lower coupler heights, and a possible 2" rise for taller trailers. Those offsets help achieve a level trailer stance for safer towing and reduced sway. Choose the drop or rise orientation to best align the trailer tongue with your vehicle's hitch height.

• Overall length: 8-1/4"
• Drop: 4" (helps lower trailer tongue)
• Rise: 2" option to raise trailer tongue

Who this is for: The CURT Class 3 Ball Mount 45050 is suited for pickup truck and SUV owners who tow medium-to-large trailers—boats, campers, utility trailers, and many recreational trailers—using a standard 2" receiver. It's a practical choice for drivers who want a factory-quality, corrosion-resistant mount with clear weight ratings and simple installation. If you require higher capacities or vehicle-specific fitment, verify your vehicle and hitch ratings before purchase and consider alternatives rated above 7,500 lb as needed.
