CURT Loaded Ball Mount with 2-5/16" Ball — 2" Shank, 6" Drop, 7,500 lb. Capacity, Pre-torqued

The CURT Loaded Ball Mount is a ready-to-use trailer hitch assembly with a factory-torqued 2-5/16" ball, rated for 7,500 lbs. gross trailer weight and a 6" drop for proper trailer leveling.

This preassembled CURT ball mount includes the ball, shank and mounting pin so you can hitch and go without installing or torquing parts yourself. Built for highway towing and weekend hauls, the unit combines a 2" x 2" hollow shank, a gloss black protective finish and precise fitment created by CNC forming and robotic welding. The result is a durable, convenient towing accessory suited to common trailers such as boats, campers, utility trailers and ATVs.

How does this ball mount save time during hookup?

The CURT loaded mount arrives with the trailer ball already installed and torqued to factory specification, removing the need to buy, fit or torque a separate ball. It also includes the mounting pin and clip so you can insert it into a 2" receiver and secure it immediately. That simplicity is helpful when mounting in low-light or roadside conditions.

• Factory-torqued 2-5/16" ball for direct coupler fit
• Included pin and clip—no additional hardware required
• Immediate out-of-package use for faster hookup

Will this mount handle my trailer’s weight and tongue load?

This model carries a 7,500 lb. gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity and a 750 lb. tongue weight (TW) rating. Always confirm the lowest rated component in your towing setup—the vehicle, hitch, ball mount or trailer—before towing. The 2-5/16" ball size is common on heavier trailers, while the 6" drop helps level trailers behind taller trucks.

• 7,500 lb. GTW and 750 lb. TW rating for mid-to-heavy loads
• 2-5/16" ball suited for many boat, camper, and utility trailers
• 6" drop for achieving proper trailer-to-vehicle pitch

What are the construction and finish benefits?

CURT builds this mount with CNC-formed steel and robotic welds for repeatable accuracy and strength. The hollow 2" shank reduces weight and accepts anti-rattle accessories, while a gloss black powder coat resists rust, chipping and UV degradation. These features combine for a reliable component that stays serviceable season after season.

• CNC-formed and robotically welded for consistent fit and strength
• Gloss black powder coat protects against corrosion and wear
• Hollow shank accommodates anti-rattle kits and reduces mass

How does the drop and length affect trailer fit?

The mount measures approximately 9-1/4" overall with a 6" drop, which helps lower the trailer coupler to match the vehicle’s hitch height. This is especially helpful when towing with trucks or lifted vehicles where the hitch sits higher than the trailer tongue. Use this drop value to compare with your trailer and vehicle heights for safe, level towing.

• 9-1/4" length provides adequate clearance between vehicle and trailer
• 6" drop corrects taller hitch heights for level towing
• Measure trailer tongue height to select the right drop for setup

Who this is for: This CURT loaded ball mount suits owners who want a hassle-free, factory-assembled towing solution for medium-to-heavy trailers—people who tow boats, campers, utility trailers or recreational equipment and prefer a ready-to-install, corrosion-resistant assembly. Choose this model if your hitch receiver is 2" and your trailers use a 2-5/16" coupler with loads within the 7,500/750 lb. ratings. Always verify your vehicle and hitch capacities before towing and select the appropriate drop for a level trailer setup.
