Made for standard 1-1\/4\" receivers, it slides into the hitch, is retained with a pin and clip, and is finished in durable carbide black to resist scratches and corrosion. Its compact 7-1\/4\" overall length and 4-5\/8\" ball height help promote level towing for small trailers, boats and campers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the CURT Euro Mount make hitching faster?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the tow ball is permanently attached to the mount, you eliminate the steps of threading, tightening and checking a separate ball.
