CURT 2" Fusion Welded Ball Mount for 2" Receiver — 7,500 lb GTW, 4" Drop, Gloss Black

CURT 45154 Fusion 2" welded ball mount is a one-piece, ready-to-use tow hitch rated for 7,500 lb gross trailer weight and 750 lb tongue weight.

This CURT Fusion ball mount combines a permanently attached 2" trailer ball with a 2" x 2" shank for a simple, strong towing solution straight out of the box. Because the ball is welded to the shank, the unit eliminates the risk of a loose or stolen hitch ball while offering consistent strength across the connection. The assembly is robotically welded, cleaned, and finished with a durable gloss black powder coat and polished chrome ball to resist corrosion and wear.

How does the welded ball mount differ from a removable ball setup?

A welded (fixed) ball mount has the trailer ball permanently attached to the shank, so there are no threads or hardware that can loosen over time. It provides more consistent structural integrity than a removable ball mount and removes the need to tighten or check ball hardware before each trip. The trade-off is reduced configurability compared with interchangeable ball and mount combos.

• Permanently welded 2" ball prevents loosening or theft
• One-piece construction reduces potential failure points
• Faster hookup — no hardware to assemble
• Less versatile for changing ball sizes or rise/drop configurations

What vehicles and trailers is this 2" Fusion ball mount best suited for?

This CURT 45154 mount is built to match standard 2" receiver hitches and covers most small-to-medium towing needs such as utility trailers, small campers, boats, and livestock trailers. It’s compatible when the vehicle’s hitch and towing components meet or exceed the listed 7,500/750 lb ratings. Always verify the lowest-rated component in your towing setup — vehicle, hitch, ball mount, or trailer — before towing.

• Fits industry-standard 2" x 2" receiver hitches
• Suitable for utility trailers, small campers, boats, and more
• Rated 7,500 lb GTW and 750 lb tongue weight (do not exceed lowest-rated component)
• 4" drop helps achieve a level trailer stance with many vehicle/trailer combos

How durable is the finish and how well will it resist the elements?

The mount receives a thorough cleaning after welding, then a glossy black powder coat for long-term protection against chipping and corrosion. The trailer ball is polished chrome-plated to minimize rust and provide smooth coupling. Together, those finishes stand up to road grime, salt, and moisture better than bare steel, extending service life with routine care.

• Gloss black powder coat resists chips and corrosion
• Polished chrome ball reduces rust and eases coupling
• Robotic welding ensures consistent, clean weld lines
• Recommended occasional cleaning and lubrication of contact surfaces

How simple is installation and what hardware is included?

Installation is straightforward: insert the 2" x 2" shank into your receiver, align the hitch pin hole, and install the included pin and clip. Because the ball is welded in place you don’t have to torque ball hardware — the mount arrives ready to tow. Remove only the pin and clip when detaching the mount from the vehicle.

• Includes hitch pin and clip for secure attachment
• Rounded shank for easy insertion into the receiver
• No ball hardware to tighten — ready to tow from the box
• Install or remove in minutes using standard hitch pin tools

Who is this for: The CURT 45154 Fusion welded ball mount is ideal for owners of vehicles with a 2" receiver who want a low-maintenance, secure towing connection for common trailers and small recreational tow loads. Choose this mount if you prioritize consistent weld strength, corrosion-resistant finishes, quick hookup, and a permanently attached 2" ball rather than an interchangeable ball system. Always match the mount to the vehicle and trailer’s lowest towing rating and follow manufacturer towing guidelines.
