CURT Class III 2" Ball Mount for 2" Receiver — Gloss Black, 4" Drop/2" Rise, 7,500 lb Capacity

CURT 45270 is a Class III 2" ball mount built from high-strength steel for towing up to 7,500 lb (GTW) with a 750 lb tongue weight limit.

This heavy-duty ball mount is designed to pair with standard 2" receivers on trucks and SUVs and provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection between vehicle and trailer. CNC-formed and robotically welded for consistent fit and strength, the 45270 offers a 13" overall length, a 4" drop for level towing of lower trailers, and a 2" rise option when needed. The unit is finished in a gloss black powder coat to guard against weather, road salt and abrasion.

How much can the CURT 45270 tow and what limits should I watch?

The 45270 is rated for 7,500 lb gross trailer weight and 750 lb tongue weight, but always obey the lowest-rated component in your towing system. Check your vehicle’s tow rating, hitch class rating and the trailer tongue weight before towing.

• Gross trailer weight capacity: 7,500 lb
• Tongue weight capacity: 750 lb
• Follow the lowest-rated towing component (vehicle, hitch, or trailer)

Will this ball mount fit my vehicle and trailer ball?

The shank measures 2" x 2", fitting standard 2" hitch receivers common on pickup trucks and many SUVs. The 1" hitch-ball hole accepts a trailer ball with a 1" diameter shank (ball sold separately).

• Shank size: 2" x 2" (fits standard 2" receivers)
• Ball hole diameter: 1" (accepts 1" shank trailer balls)
• Rounded shank profile eases insertion into receiver

How does the mount handle different trailer heights and towing setups?

With a 13" overall length, a 4" drop and a 2" possible rise, the 45270 helps achieve a level trailer setup across a range of trailer tongue heights. Choose drop or rise orientation based on your trailer's coupler height for safer, more stable towing.

• Overall length: 13" for suitable setback from receiver
• Drop: 4" to lower the hitch point for low trailers
• Rise: 2" option for higher trailers or accessories

How durable is the finish and construction for long-term use?

CURT mechanically descales each unit and applies a thick gloss black powder coat to resist corrosion, chips and UV damage. CNC forming and robotic welding deliver consistent tolerances and structural integrity for repeated towing cycles.

• Construction: high-strength steel, CNC-formed, robotically welded
• Finish: gloss black powder coat for weather resistance
• Surface prep: mechanically descaled for a long-lasting coating bond

Who is this for: The CURT 45270 is ideal for truck and SUV owners who tow utility trailers, boat trailers, campers or other recreational loads that fall within Class III limits. It suits buyers who want a reliable, factory-consistent fit, corrosion-resistant finish and straightforward installation with a standard 2" receiver. If you need heavier commercial towing beyond 7,500 lb GTW, consider a higher-class hitch component matched to your vehicle’s ratings.
