CURT Combination Ball and Pintle Hitch 2-5/16 in Ball for 2-inch Receiver — 12,000/16,000 lb, Black Powder Coat

Designed for heavy-duty towing tasks where durability and versatility matter, the CURT 48006 combines a 2-5/16" trailer ball and a pintle hook in one receiver-mounted assembly. Its forged steel construction and protective finishes make it suited for rugged environments like farms, construction sites, and fleet work. The unit installs in any standard 2" receiver and is intended to provide a reliable coupling option for both ball couplers and lunette-ring trailers.

How does this combo hitch adapt to different trailers?

The CURT 48006 integrates a standard trailer ball and a pintle hook so you can tow trailers with either a 2-5/16" coupler or a lunette eye. Switching between towing modes is straightforward, eliminating the need to swap separate hitch components for different trailer types.

• Trailer ball compatible with 2-5/16" couplers for conventional trailers.
• Pintle hook accepts lunette rings with 2-1/2" or 3" inside diameters.
• Receiver-mounted design fits any 2" x 2" hitch tube for quick installation.
• Spring-loaded locking arm helps keep the lunette secured during heavy use.

What strength and load limits should I expect?

This model is engineered for high-capacity towing: the trailer ball is rated to 12,000 pounds while the pintle hook carries a 16,000-pound rating. Always respect the lowest rated component in your towing system—the vehicle, hitch, ball/pintle, and trailer—to avoid overloading.

• 12,000 lb capacity on the 2-5/16" trailer ball for ball-coupled trailers.
• 16,000 lb working load on the pintle hook for lunette-equipped trailers.
• Forged steel construction offers the tensile strength needed for heavy loads.
• Designed to complement Class 4 and Class 5 towing setups when used within ratings.

How does the finish and build resist wear and corrosion?

CURT applies a black powder coat to the hitch body and chrome-plates the trailer ball to help resist rust, abrasion, and the day-to-day wear of heavy towing. These protective layers extend service life and maintain performance in demanding outdoor conditions.

• Powder coat on the assembly provides durable corrosion and scratch resistance.
• Chrome-plated 2-5/16" ball reduces surface wear and simplifies cleaning.
• Robust forged steel core reduces deformation under load.
• Simple design means fewer moving parts to maintain or replace.

How does installation and daily use work?

Installation requires a standard 2" receiver and the appropriate hitch pin/clip (not included). Once secured in the receiver, the spring-loaded latch and the ball interface enable fast transitions between trailer types while keeping the connection secure throughout the job.

• Slides into any 2" x 2" receiver tube for fast mounting.
• Use a hitch pin and clip or locking pin sized for 2" receivers (sold separately).
• Spring latch locks lunette rings in place for reliable towing.
• Minimal maintenance: periodic inspection and lubrication of latch recommended.

Who is this for: The CURT 48006 is intended for operators who tow heavy equipment, trailers, or machinery and need a single, rugged hitch that handles both ball-coupled and lunette-eye trailers. It suits contractors, agriculture and fleet owners, and anyone with Class 4/5 towing needs who wants a durable, low-maintenance, receiver-mounted solution.
