CURT Loaded Ball Mount 2" Drop, 2" Ball Pre-Attached — 7,500 lb GTW, Gloss Black

The CURT 45036 is a ready-to-use loaded ball mount with a pre-torqued 2" trailer ball, rated to tow up to 7,500 lb gross trailer weight and 750 lb tongue weight.

If you want a single, compact hitch component that arrives assembled and ready to couple, the CURT 45036 removes the hassle of installing a separate ball and worrying about torque specs. Built with a 2" x 2" shank and a 2" diameter ball, this loaded mount fits standard 2" receivers and suits a wide range of trailers — from boats and utility trailers to small RVs and ATVs. A gloss black powder coat and chrome-plated ball improve corrosion resistance so the mount stays reliable season after season.

How does the 45036 make hitching faster?

This unit ships with the trailer ball already attached and factory-torqued, so there’s no need to buy, fit, or torque a separate ball. A hitch pin and clip are included, allowing you to insert the shank and secure the mount in minutes.

• Pre-installed, factory-torqued 2" trailer ball
• Included 5/8" hitch pin and clip for immediate installation
• 2" x 2" shank fits most standard receivers
• Simple insert-and-secure setup, no special tools required

What towing capacity and dimensions should I expect?

The CURT 45036 has a gross trailer weight (GTW) rating of 7,500 lb and a tongue weight (TW) rating of 750 lb, suitable for many common towing applications. The mount measures 7-1/2" overall with a 2" drop, delivering a lowered hitch point for trailers that sit below receiver height.

• Rated 7,500 lb GTW and 750 lb TW (observe lowest component rating)
• 7-1/2" overall length and 2" drop for level towing geometry
• 2" diameter trailer ball pre-attached
• 5/8" pin hole standard size for secure mounting

How durable is the finish and ball hardware?

CURT protects the shank and bar with a gloss black powder coat that resists chipping and UV exposure, while the trailer ball is polished and chrome-plated to limit surface corrosion. These finishes extend component life and reduce maintenance.

• Gloss black powder coat on shank and bar for corrosion resistance
• Polished chrome trailer ball for rust protection and smooth coupler seating
• Factory torque on ball ensures proper clamp and longevity
• Solid-steel construction built to CURT manufacturing standards

Will this fit my vehicle and trailer combination?

It fits any standard 2" receiver and is designed for trailers that require a 2" ball and up to the stated weight rating. Always confirm your vehicle hitch, tow vehicle capacity, and trailer tongue weight before towing.

• Shank size: 2" x 2"—fits standard 2" receivers
• Ball size: 2" diameter—matches most small to mid-size trailers
