CURT Class III 2" Loaded Ball Mount with 2-5/16" Ball — 7,500 lb GTW, 2" Shank

The CURT 45041 is a fully loaded Class III ball mount with a pre-torqued 2-5/16" trailer ball and all hardware, ready to tow immediately.

Built for reliability and convenience, this CURT loaded ball mount arrives with a factory-mounted trailer ball, hitch pin and clip so you can couple a trailer as soon as you unpack it. Designed to fit industry-standard 2" receiver tubes, the 45041 balances a compact profile with solid towing capacity for recreational and light commercial use.

What towing capacities does this ball mount support?

The CURT 45041 is rated for a gross trailer weight (GTW) of 7,500 pounds and a tongue weight (TW) of 750 pounds when used as packaged. These ratings reflect the integrated, pre-attached ball and mount assembly; always verify the lowest capacity among vehicle, hitch, and trailer components before towing.

• Gross trailer weight: 7,500 lb
• Tongue weight: 750 lb
• Suitable for many boat, utility, camper and ATV trailers within those limits

How does the 45041 simplify setup and installation?

This model comes ready to use with a factory-torqued 2-5/16" chrome trailer ball already attached and a hitch pin included, eliminating the need to source or torque a separate ball. The rounded 2" x 2" shank slides into any standard 2" receiver and secures with the included 5/8" pin.

• Pre-attached, factory-torqued 2-5/16" trailer ball
• Includes hitch pin and clip for immediate installation
• Rounded 2" x 2" shank fits standard receiver tubes

Will the finish and materials hold up outdoors?

The 45041 is coated in a gloss black powder coat to resist rust, chipping and UV exposure, while the tow ball features a polished chrome plating for corrosion resistance and easier coupling. These finishes help extend service life when maintained and used under normal towing conditions.

• Durable gloss black powder coat on the mount
• Polished chrome trailer ball for corrosion resistance
• Designed for routine outdoor use with basic care

What are the size and fit details I should check?

Key dimensions make installation and fit straightforward: an overall length of 8-1/4", a 2" drop, and a 5/8" pin hole. Confirm your receiver is a 2" x 2" opening and that the drop suits your trailer tongue height to maintain level towing.

• Overall length: 8-1/4"
• Drop: 2" (ensures proper tongue height alignment)
• Pin hole diameter: 5/8" for standard hitch pins

Who is this for: The CURT 45041 is intended for drivers who need a dependable, ready-to-use Class III ball mount that saves time and reduces installation steps. It’s a practical choice for owners of trucks, SUVs and vans that pair with 2" receivers and tow medium-weight trailers such as boats, campers, utility trailers and recreational equipment haulers—provided the combined weights do not exceed component limits.
