I work for a trailer dealer that sells curt products and we sell this hitch. Only downside to it is that if you are towing a trailer with shorter chains, you can't cross them if you do not have any d-rings on your receiver on the truck. Also, with how far the hitch sticks out, there is not very much slack in them. But as I stated, if you use d-rings, these problems are solved. I've used this hitch on my personal, as well as the company truck and had this issue on both.
I have this hitch. I love it. I recommend it to anyone who asks me about hitches.
I've had one of these for over 5 years, and It is GREAT.
OMG Second!
My Boss and I run these on our vehicles. The Curt works great and don't rattle or shift around. I've used mine in a rise setup on my work van and use it at full drop on my truck, all in the same day.
Very good. I’ll probably buy one of these.
Clean design, robust build, decent price.
Happy Trails
I have had this hitch for 6 years and I have put it through its peace. And it is a very strong hitch.
It is a great ball hitch. I came from a B&W for years and worked well. It was nice for theft due to only one pin needed, but was pushing the 10k limit. With this hitch, it provided the extra safety net of Gross capacity and much cheaper. I leave the main unit locked for "tapping" safety, however I remove the ball portion to reduce chance of theft. Some people like to steal just to take. I've used it several times without issues, both light and heavy trailers. Solid unit and no rattle.
Great hitch best bang for your buck. I run a landscape construction company and all my fleet trucks are running this hitch. Haven't had any problems with them. The only downside to these as mentioned is they tend to stick out a bit farther. This is a problem if you have short chains on your trailer. Also, the anti rattle rubber they use tends to wear out quickly especially when towing a lot. On ours some have fallen off but never bothered replacing them. It actually made sliding the pins in easier when adjusting the height. Like JD mentioned you can also purchase different hitch styles on my personal truck I have the 2 and 2 5/16 combo, pintle and clevis hitch that can be purchased through etrailer.
I bought this hitch after trading in my old truck as all my old hitches would hang to low with the new truck. I am very happy with it and wish I had switched to that style a while back instead oh having one for 2" and 1 for 2 and 5/16" makes my life easier. I did have to get a 2 and 1/2 to 2" adaptor but have not seen that as a problem. my event trailer weighs in at 7000lbs and have had no issues pulling it.
I picked one of these up off amazon as I was preparing to ditch the SUV for a truck. I like it, one thing to note is on mine the ball is stamped 10k lbs while the shank is 14k. I'm not going to be towing anything that heavy but always make sure you are lighter than your weakest piece.
Awesome. I've been looking at this hitch. I'll probably spring for it. I love that pintle option. I've got several military trailers that I hang around. At this price, I'll order one for the truck and one for my jeep!
Hey, send that rain my way in southern az....!
I have had a 2 1/2 inch version and love it. On mine it has a rubber anti rattle button.
For all of the same reasons, I bought the same hitch. I do leave main section in when not towing to save the truck as well.
I'm going to get me 1 of this hitches. Thanks JD your the man.
I’ve had that same hitch for years in 2-1/2. I see zero reason to spend more money for something that does the same thing. And it’s not a fancy name brand so it won’t get stolen!
Just ordered one of these thanks to your review!
This should have come with my truck.
As with pretty much every comment here, I also have this hitch. I couldn’t see myself spending 3-500$ for a fancy named one. This does the job and does it well for a reasonable price. Great review
I have the 20,000lb version with the anti rattle set screw. Excellent hitch.
Wow you must have read my mind JD bought that same exact hitch 6 months ago when I Needed a adjustable to haul a uhaul trailer behind my ram works perfectly and at a 130 bucks itwas affordable Also used it to tow my 7600 GVWR travel trailer from storage to my house without having to use the weight distributing hitch
I have 2 of these now and seem like I'll like them. I just wish curt made a 1 7/8 and 2" flip ball. I also feel like I'm gonna drill another hole to bring it closer to the truck
Did you ever decide to do it? Bet it took a while to drill 2” of steel
Thanks for showing this alternate type hitch with a lower cost. Still waiting to see that new rig. bill in
Florida
I have this hitch as well. Very heavy duty and Well worth the money! I recommend it to everyone. But I use it flipped up instead of a drop hitch because my 20 foot deck over trailer sits very high up
I love this hitch and I need to buy the pintle hitch adapter for work.
I love the curt hitch, it looks amazing. Better than any other hitch in my opinion, not to mention I’ve pulled 9 tons multiple times with the 14k rated hitch and never had any problems
I as well. Two loads slightly heavier. With the F450, sometimes you don’t think about the hitch rating. Hook and go
I have the same one, works great so far
Great bumper protection. I got "love tapped" twice I one week a while back and was sure glad I had my hitch installed. I really like this option and price.👍
I got tapped a few years ago. I took the guy’s keys out of his car while we looked over the damage and I made sure I was still able to get my hitch out in case he bent the pin. He said “other than the hole in my bumper there’s no damage” I said “let me make this very clear. YOU hit ME. Therefore I don’t give a damn about damage to YOUR car”
@@chrisharris9115 u echo my motto. My hitch stays on my truck year round
@@chevy4x466 I ordered a Subaru Forester back in February (I’m keeping my truck) with a 2” receiver so I can take my beaver step from my truck and put it in it for protection and an attachment point incase I get stuck. I don’t plan on towing with it at all. Just wanted the peace of mind.
i bought one of these designs from Uhaul ~25yrs ago. It has never failed me. I did change out the pins to ones that lock. Yes, I want to get hitch that dampens for the ride. I just don’t don’t want to spend that much money.
You have covered most needs to pull your rv and is very helpful. Have you done a video on portable generator/ inverters and what would be the best choice for the travel trailers?
I have this CURT hitch for my F250 and is the 2.5" all-steel shank. You're right, it's one sturdily built hitch and quite robust. I used it only two times but didn't like the rattling so I purchased a metal spacer from Amazon to reduce the slight gap between the hitch receiver and the hitch shank. I recently replaced the CURT adjustable hitch unit entirely b/c the weight of my trailer ovewhelms the truck's stability. I purchased a Shocker-Hitch air ride towing hitch to absorb the push-pull affect and hard impact of weight on the rear of my truck. The shocker Hitch with air bag was much more pricey but should nullify the hard ride from the trailer. I purchased my original CURT hitch from Amazon which has since increased $70 from day of my original purchase. I will sell my CURT adjustable hitch to anyone interested. Please note: my F250 takes a 2.5 inch shank not the standard 2 inch for a F150. If anyone is interested, they may go to my TH-cam channel and get my e-mail address in the "About" Tab. I'll give them a great deal.
I bought one. Best money I ever spent. Replaced the other three that have.
I have that hitch and I really like it
Very nice I'm looking for a new one
Great review. I drive an SUV with a Curt aftermarket receiver hitch. Not all of us drive nice tricks. My SUV receiver is low to the ground (6 inches). Can this hitch be inverted to raise the ball to provide a level trailer tow for my box trailer and/or boat?
Great product at a great price. Great mentioning that there are many no name brands that cost less but could put your valuable trailer or put peoples lives at risk. Unfortunately in our downward spiraling society one needs to put a locking pin in the ball portion so someone doesn’t walk off with a golden ball.
That's exactly what I have, two locking pins.
Quick question, as o haven’t really seen it asked. If a weight distribution hitch is what most truck manufacturers recommend/require for trailers with more than 5,000 GVWR. Why is it we see a lot of regular ball hitches up to 14,000 pounds capacity or more???
Thank you
In my 2018 ram 3500 it works great but between using the 2" shank insert and the adaptor to the 2.5" there is a lot of slop and on a bumpy road it is annoying and jerky.
Be even nicer if they used the ball and added the GenY type pintle hitch conversion.
I want to get the B&W tow and stow that i can change from 2"-2-5/16 for the 2.5 hitch.
Have these at work tough as hell just bought 2 for myself 140 150 bucks each worth every penny
This product is an adjustable draw bar with two mounting balls. The hitch with receiver are bolted or welded on the tow vehicle in which the draw bar with mounting balls, hooks or other attachments are inserted ( received) into. Please use correct terminology.
E trailer 235$ ish Amazon as low as 156$ for the same model, food for thought.
Were you hungering down under the tailgate?
I need one of these that have a 2" and a 1 7/8 ball. Is this available ?
I wish they made a 4 inch drop. Most are 6+ inches
Where can I purchase the pintle for this hitch?
So how much is it?
Can you get one that’s not so much of a drop
OMG 315th!!
For the low low price of $200+. Still out of the ballpark
OmG first

Great rid of the Nissan as fast as you can. Ram, Ford, Jeep, GMC, or Chevy should be your ride.
