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

If you tow, may as well tow safe. Stop buying cheap balls and hitches from Walmart, Curt makes great products at reasonable prices. Some may be overkill but better safe than sorry

Solid product, machining looks great.

Ball was NOT as pictured. It did not have flats on the base of the ball - so it is just about impossible to torque properly. Consequently, it is pretty much a paperweight. This is the only Curt ball I have ever had that problem with.

Not much to say. I do believe it’s rated at 30,000 pounds. Solid as a rock. Make sure you have a inch and 7/8 wrench to be able to put it on.

Spring washer jammed easily and damaged by trailer hitch. Now its unremovable. Threw them both away

Great product at a fair price

Great price for a high weight capacity ball. Works as advertised.

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.

As listed

This ball works great towing my 12,000 lb dump trailer with my Curt weight distribution hitch.
