CURT Class 3 Trailer Ball Mount for 2" Receiver — 2" Drop / 3/4" Rise, 7,500 lb Capacity

This heavy-duty ball mount pairs a common 2" x 2" shank with robust construction to tow a wide range of trailers from boat and utility trailers to campers and small horse trailers. CNC forming and robotic welding create consistent strength across every unit, while a gloss black powder-coat finish protects the steel from corrosion and wear. The mount accepts a standard 1" diameter trailer ball (sold separately) and is sized for easy insertion into industry-standard 2" hitch receivers.

How does the CURT 45010 deliver strength and reliability?

The 45010 is built from high-strength steel, then precision-formed and robotically welded to meet Class 3 performance needs. Mechanical descaling smooths the metal before coating, improving finish adhesion and long-term durability.

• Gross trailer weight capacity: 7,500 lb (observe lowest-rated towing component).
• Tongue weight capacity: 750 lb.
• Precision CNC forming and robotic welds for consistent structural integrity.
• Mechanically descaled surface ensures a uniform, long-lasting finish.

Will this ball mount fit my vehicle and trailer setup?

Designed for vehicles with a standard 2" receiver, the CURT 45010 fits most pickups and SUVs that use Class 3 hitches. The shank is 2" x 2" and slides into the receiver easily; secure it with a hitch pin (not included).

• Shank dimensions: 2" x 2" to match industry-standard receivers.
• Length overall: 8-1/4", giving clearance for many trailer configurations.
• Mount accepts 1" diameter trailer ball (sold separately).
• Rounded shank design for smoother insertion into the receiver.

How does the drop and rise help level towing?

The 2" drop and available 3/4" rise let you fine-tune trailer height so the trailer sits level behind your vehicle. Level towing reduces sway and improves handling, making hookup and travel safer and more predictable.

• Drop: 2" to lower the hitch point for trailers that sit lower than the receiver.
• Rise: 3/4" for minimal elevation when needed.
• Choose the orientation that produces a level towing stance for your vehicle-trailer combo.
• Helps distribute tongue weight correctly within rated limits.

What protects this mount from the elements and road wear?

After machining and surface prep, the 45010 receives a gloss black powder-coat that resists rust, chipping and UV fade. This finish prolongs service life even under exposure to rain, salt, and gravel kicked up on the road.

• Durable gloss black powder coat for corrosion resistance.
• Resists scratches, road salt and UV damage.
• Smooth, factory-prepped surface reduces early flaking and peeling.

Who is this for: The CURT 45010 is aimed at truck and SUV owners who tow medium to heavy loads and need a reliable Class 3 ball mount with a standard 2" shank. It’s suitable for owners of utility trailers, boats, campers and other recreational trailers who want a durable, easy-to-install mount that pairs with a 1" trailer ball and supports up to 7,500 lb gross trailer weight when matched with appropriately rated towing components.
