## Overview

The CURT 45260 Class III 2" Ball Mount is a heavy-duty towing essential crafted from high-strength carbon steel. Rated for up to 7,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight, it features a universal 2" x 2" shank, a 2" drop with 3/4" rise for level towing, and a corrosion-resistant gloss black powder coat finish. Precision CNC forming and robotic welding ensure unmatched durability, making it the go-to choice for pickup trucks and SUVs demanding reliable, long-lasting towing performance.

## Description

CURT class 3, or standard-duty, ball mounts are a step up from classes 1 and 2. They feature a 2" x 2" shank and have a higher weight capacity for towing heavy-duty trailers, including utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, single-horse livestock trailers and most recreational vehicle trailers. With class 3 trailer hitches being the most common type of trailer hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs, the class 3 ball mount, by association, is an excellent complement to this trailer hitch and these larger vehicles (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc).This particular class 3 ball mount has a gross trailer weight capacity of 7,500 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs. It features a length of 12-1/4", a drop of 2" and a possible rise of 3/4". Class 3 ball mounts are CNC-formed and robotically welded to ensure unwavering precision and dependable strength in each and every unit. We mechanically descale each one to provide a smooth surface for a long-lasting finish. This class 3 ball mount comes with a durable gloss black powder coat finish to protect against corrosion, scratches, UV damage and more to give it the thick skin it needs to face the road ahead.

Review: Great price, extra length, high quality - This extended hitch bar works perfectly for my situation - I needed at least 5" of bar exposed between the end of the hitch and the ball mount. This gives me 5.75" to slide the bike carrier into the bar and still have a hitch to pull the boat. It's difficult to find anything close locally, but they delivered it in under 12 hours! Spectacular service, at $32 was a bargain!
Review: Works great! - Love this hitch. Bought it because its a couple inches longer, so when towing my trailer i can drop the tailgate without it hitting my trailers prop handle. Super sturdy, nice welds, great paint finish.

Love this hitch. Bought it because its a couple inches longer, so when towing my trailer i can drop the tailgate without it hitting my trailers prop handle. Super sturdy, nice welds, great paint finish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Jeep Hitch
*by B***N on March 31, 2024*

Perfect hitch if towing with an oversized spare tire on your tailgate (ie Jeep or Bronco). Allows for the perfect amount of clearance and still looks good! Was running a hitch extender before finding this gem. Not only did it look ridiculous and was way too long, the clinging and clanging I heard as I drove was crazy. No noise when running this hitch. Great product and great price.
