CURT 40085 Raw Steel Trailer Hitch Ball, 30,000 lbs, 2-5/16-Inch Diameter, 1-1/4 x 2-5/8-Inch Shank

This is the only one I will ever buy! No chrome to chip off. Keep it oiled and it wont rust.

Great

This ball is rated way over what i will ever tow, however why chance it? with a 10,000 lb equipment trailer I wanted to go for the strongest. It will rust, it is raw steel. so what? spray it with oil once in a while, or paint it, if you are that worried. Kind of hard to get 450ftlbs of torque on the nut, and who has a torque wrench big enough to measure that? Just put a long pipe on your biggest pipe wrench or breaker bar and tighten it.

No flat spot for wrench cannot tighten it

30,000lbs rated for $20 bucks; can’t beat the price for the quality.

Great pride compared to others

A must for towing heavy loads

I work for a contractor in the Northwest. We had some issues with our dump trailer, tow weight, the current hitch assembly on the company truck, etc. In short, easy to install (you probably know this, but check your truck capacity and hitch assembly weight capacity), great value for the money, absolutely worth it. If your rig is up to pulling heavy loads, Curt delivers.

Nice machining. The threads are really nice.

This ball is exactly what I needed. The weight capacity fits the requirements of my equipment trailer.
