CURT Manufacturing 40090 2 in. Diameter Chrome Trailer Ball

When it comes to towing I stick with only the name brands I know. My safety and the safety of others is worth the extra cost. The Curt brand is well known for it's quality towing accessories and this two inch ball in no exception! The two inch steel receiver came standard with my new pickup, but I think it was a bit of overkill requiring a 1 1/4 inch shaft on the ball, when the towing capacity of the truck is only 6,000 pounds. The Curt 2" ball is rated at 10,000 pounds! It's well finished and has two flats below the ball where you can use an adjustable wrench to hold the ball in place while you tighten the nut and included lock washer. Once you get this thing tight it's not coming loose.

Works great on my side by side. Looks good on it too.

This product seems to be a very heavy duty item, fits perfectly and isn’t a cheap lightweight product

Great product no issues

Good item and item description with no complaints. Be sure to know that the shank diameter of 1 1/4" is for heavy duty towing vehicles such as a tractor draw bar or heavy duty receiver mainly suited for larger equipment not utilizing a 2" ball. Know what your buying here. My use was simple. To be able to move around smaller trailers with my heavy duty tractor that has draw bars mostly suited for larger equipment moving such as 2 5/8' balls. Nice now to be able to swap out draw bars to move around smaller trailers of sort. Most 2" balls on vehicles utilize either 7/8" shank or 1 inch. Again know this will not fit any receiver hitch you buy from Wal-Mart

This is an unusual combination of sizes that needs to be emphasized in the Listing -but isn't. The ball is the smaller but standard 2" diameter ,not the new,bigger 2-5/16" size. BUT the shank is the huge 1-1/4" diameter size. The most likely reason you need this ball is that you've got a super heavy duty drawbar with a large 2-5/16" diameter ball. BUT you want to hook up to a trailer with a 2" coupler. Your H.D. drawbar probably has a big 1-1/4" hole for the big ball. If you get a regular 2" diameter ball it will have a smaller 1" shank. Then you would need a sleeve adapter to fit it securely ! This oddball ball is the solution BUT only to the rare situation described above. That explains why they get returned often ?

Work as it should. I bought a vintage Blue Ox hitch online not realizing the shank was larger than 1inch. This worked flawlessly for it.

Very heavy duty ball. I went with the 1 1/4 shank for the extra weight capacity over the 1 inch shank.

Super

Se ve de buena calidad. Pero para que le dure más el cromo y se siga viendo brillosa, aplique grasa cuando remolque. Para instalarla se necesita una llave o dado de 1-7/8" para la tuerca y una perica o llave de ese mismo tamaño para sujetar la bola mientras se aprieta la tuerca.

Worked great

aun no la uso pero tube que perforar el jalon para que entrara el tornillo es muy grueso pero boy a tener sobrado el peso a jalar. espero sea muy duradera.

Excelente calidad
