CURT Class III 2" Ball Mount for 2" Receiver — 2" Drop, 7,500 lb Capacity, Gloss Black

CURT 45030 is a Class III 2" ball mount engineered to tow up to 7,500 lb gross trailer weight with a 750 lb tongue weight capacity, featuring a 2" x 2" shank, 2" drop and 3/4" rise.

This heavy-duty ball mount is designed for pickup trucks and SUVs equipped with a 2" receiver. Built from high-strength steel with CNC forming and robotic welding, the 45030 delivers consistent fit and dependable performance. A mechanical descaling process yields a smooth base for the gloss black powder coat that helps resist corrosion, scratches, and UV exposure so the mount stays serviceable through regular use on roads and job sites.

How does this ball mount fit my vehicle and trailer?

The 45030 uses a 2" x 2" shank that matches the industry-standard 2" receiver found on most mid-size and full-size trucks and many SUVs. It accepts a 1" diameter trailer ball (sold separately) and secures with a hitch pin through the 1" hole. Installation is straightforward: slide the shank into the receiver and fasten with the appropriate pin and clip.

• Shank size: 2" x 2" to fit standard receivers
• Ball compatibility: 1" diameter ball shank (sold separately)
• Installation: slide-in design with 1" hitch pin hole
• Rounded shank eases alignment when inserting into receiver
