CURT 45360 Aluminum Ball Mount - 2-Inch Shank, 8,000 lbs

The CURT 45360 Aluminum Ball Mount is a high-performance towing accessory engineered for drivers who need a strong, reliable, and rust-resistant solution for their Class 3 trailer hitches. Ideal for pickup trucks and SUVs, this mount offers a versatile 8,000 lbs gross trailer weight capacity, making it perfect for towing campers, boat trailers, and utility trailers.

Product Description

This CURT Class 3 aluminum ball mount is built to bridge the gap between heavy-duty strength and lightweight design. Constructed from solid aluminum, it provides the robust performance required for substantial towing tasks while remaining significantly lighter than traditional steel options. Its natural resistance to rust and corrosion ensures it maintains its structural integrity and appearance over time, even when exposed to the elements.

Designed for 2-inch x 2-inch receiver hitches, the mount features an 8-1/2 inch hole-to-hole length and is compatible with a 1-inch hole for a tow ball. It provides a 2-inch drop for level towing or can be flipped to provide a 1-inch rise. With an 8,000 lbs gross trailer weight capacity and an 800 lbs tongue weight capacity, it serves as a dependable addition to any standard towing setup.

Features & Benefits

• Solid Aluminum Construction: Offers a lightweight alternative to steel without sacrificing strength, making it easier to handle during installation and removal.
• Rust and Corrosion Resistance: Naturally resists environmental degradation, promoting a longer service life and better aesthetic durability.
• Dual-Position Versatility: Can be used in a 2-inch drop or 1-inch rise position to ensure your trailer remains level with your vehicle.
• 8,000 lbs Towing Capacity: Provides sufficient strength for larger loads, including utility trailers, campers, and boat trailers.

Key Points & Helpful Resources

• Safety Note: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any individual component in your towing system (vehicle, hitch, trailer, or mount).
• Maintenance: Inspect the mount and trailer ball periodically for signs of wear or damage.
• Installation: Ensure the trailer ball is properly torqued; do not exceed 250 lb-ft of torque for the trailer ball (sold separately).
