CURT D-Ring Shackle Mount Trailer Hitch 2" Receiver — 13,000 lb Straight-Line Recovery, Carbide Powder Coat

CURT 45832 is a heavy-duty D-ring shackle mount that inserts into a 2" trailer receiver and provides a 13,000 lb straight-line recovery anchor for tough towing and vehicle recovery tasks.

Built from a solid steel shank and finished with a corrosion-resistant carbide powder coat, this D-ring mount turns any compatible 2" x 2" Class 4 or Class 5 hitch into a secure recovery point. Designed for straight-line pulls rather than angled snatch operations, the mount accepts threaded shackles and works with CURT recovery straps and similar gear. Its simple slide-in design fits most full-size trucks and pairs perfectly with CURT Xtra Duty hitches.

How strong is this D-ring shackle mount and what does the rating mean?

The CURT 45832 is rated for a 13,000 lb straight-line pull, which reflects the maximum load in a direct pull condition limited by the lowest-rated component in the tow setup. That rating indicates the mount’s capacity under ideal straight pull circumstances; always consider the rating of shackles, straps, hitch, and vehicle anchor points when planning recovery work.

• 13,000 lb straight-line capacity (limited to weakest component)
• Solid steel shank for structural strength
• Threaded pin design secures compatible D-ring shackles
• Intended for straight pulls, not angled snatch loads

Will this fit my truck’s receiver and hitch setup?

The shank measures 2" x 2", so it slides into any standard 2" receiver opening found on Class 4 and Class 5 hitches. It’s an ideal match for CURT Xtra Duty class 5 hitches; if your hitch uses a 2" receiver tube, the mount will fit physically. Note that the product requires a 5/8" hitch pin and clip (sold separately) for retention in many heavy-duty hitch assemblies.

• Shank dimensions: 2" x 2" for standard receivers
• Compatible with Class 4 and Class 5 hitches
• Fits CURT Xtra Duty class 5 hitches perfectly
• Uses standard 5/8" hitch pin & clip (not included)

What recovery hardware works with this mount and how do I attach it?

The mount accepts threaded D-ring shackles and pairs with web recovery straps like CURT #83066 or comparable rated straps. Attach the shackle through the mount’s threaded hole and secure the shackle pin; then connect the recovery strap to the shackle for a reliable straight-line recovery. Always use rated shackles and straps sized to match or exceed the mount’s capacity for safe operation.

• Threaded pin accepts standard D-ring shackles
• Works with CURT recovery strap #83066 or similar straps
• Use shackles rated at or above the mount’s capacity
• Secure shackle pin fully before towing or recovery

How durable is the finish and how does it resist wear?

CURT protects the steel shank with a carbide powder coat that resists rust, chipping, and surface abrasion from frequent use. The durable coating helps preserve structural integrity in harsh environments, including off-road and exposure to salt, mud, and moisture. While corrosion-resistant, inspect the mount regularly and address any deep scratches or damage to maintain long-term performance.

• Carbide powder coat for corrosion and scratch resistance
• Protects finish from road grime, salt, and weather exposure
• Regular inspection recommended after heavy use
• Designed for demanding recovery and off-road conditions

Who is this for? The CURT 45832 D-ring shackle mount is aimed at pickup owners, professional recovery teams, and anyone who needs a dependable straight-line anchor from a 2" receiver. It’s well suited to off-road enthusiasts, rural vehicle operators, fleet vehicles with heavy-duty hitches, and service vehicles that require a robust recovery point. If you use Class 4 or Class 5 hitches and rely on rated shackles and straps for recovery, this mount provides a simple, rugged solution to add a high-capacity D-ring anchor to your hitch setup.
