CURT Class 3 Trailer Ball Mount for 2" Receiver — 2" Drop, 7,500 lb Capacity, Gloss Black

CURT 45010 is a Class 3 steel ball mount designed for 2" receivers, offering up to 7,500 lb gross trailer weight and a 2" drop for level towing.

This solidly built ball mount brings heavy-duty towing capability to trucks and SUVs fitted with a standard 2" receiver. CNC-formed and robotically welded for consistent strength, it combines a 7,500 lb gross towing rating with a 750 lb tongue capacity and a corrosion-resistant gloss black powder coat. The 8-1/4" length, 2" drop and 3/4" rise options make it practical for many trailer types while remaining straightforward to install.

How does this ball mount handle heavier trailers?

The CURT 45010 is engineered from high-strength steel and rated to tow up to 7,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 750 pounds tongue weight. Its Class 3 designation places it above light-duty options, making it suitable for larger utility, boat, and recreational trailers when paired with properly rated components. Always compare the lowest-rated item in your towing setup (vehicle, hitch, ball, mount) before loading.

• 7,500 lb gross trailer weight rating; 750 lb tongue weight rating
• CNC-formed, robotically welded construction for consistent strength
• Designed for trailers like boats, campers, and heavy utility loads
• Follow the lowest-rated towing component rule to avoid overload

Will it fit my vehicle and trailer ball?

The shank measures 2" x 2", the industry standard for Class 3 receivers, so it fits most truck and SUV hitch openings. The 1" diameter hitch ball shank fits into the ball hole on this mount — note that the trailer ball itself is sold separately. Installation uses a standard hitch pin (not included), making swaps and removal quick.

• 2" x 2" shank fits standard Class 3 receivers
• 1" ball hole accepts common 1" diameter trailer balls (ball sold separately)
• Rounded shank eases insertion and alignment in the receiver
• Secures with a hitch pin or locking pin (sold separately)

How does the finish and construction resist road wear?

The mount is mechanically descaled before coating to create a smooth base and then finished with a gloss black powder coat that protects against moisture, road salt, UV exposure, and surface abrasion. This durable coating extends service life and maintains appearance under regular towing use. The welded joints and formed steel provide rigidity under load while the finish reduces corrosion risk.

• Mechanically descaled surface for better coating adhesion
• Gloss black powder coat resists rust, chips, and UV damage
• Welded construction prevents flexing under load
• Suitable for year-round road conditions and salted roads

How easy is it to install and use day-to-day?

Installation is simple: slide the 2" shank into your receiver, align the pin hole, and secure with a hitch pin or lock. The mount’s 8-1/4" length and rounded shank help with alignment and minimize fuss when switching between mounts or removing it for storage. Routine checks of fasteners and the ball’s seating are all that’s required for safe operation.

• Insert shank into 2" receiver and align pin holes
• Secure with hitch pin or locking pin (not included)
• Check ball tightness and pin security before each trip
• Quick to remove for vehicle clearance or storage

Who is this for? The CURT 45010 ball mount is aimed at truck and SUV owners who tow medium to heavy trailers—boat owners, campers, landscapers, and utility trailer users—who need a dependable, easy-to-install mount with solid corrosion resistance. Choose this mount when your vehicle’s hitch and trailer components are rated similarly and you want a durable, professionally finished option that balances strength with everyday practicality.
