Meet CURT 40038 chrome trailer hitch ball for heavy duty towing

Designed for strength and reliability, CURT 40038 is a chrome plated trailer hitch ball built to pair with standard 2 inch couplers. Crafted from hot forged, heat treated steel, this ball is engineered to handle up to 12,000 pounds of gross trailer weight, providing a sturdy connection between your hitch and trailer. The 1 inch shank diameter and 2-1/4 inch shank length ensure a snug, secure attachment to your trailer hitch ball mount, while a 0 inch rise helps keep towing height consistent across setups.

The chrome finish isn't just for shine; it's a protective layer that resists rust and scratches, making it well suited for outdoor use in rain, mud, or salty roadways. A zinc plated hex nut and a helical lock washer accompany the ball to support dependable installation, with fine threads designed for an enhanced hold and smoother torqueing. When installed correctly, the CURT ball contributes to a confident towing experience on a wide range of trailers including utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, livestock trailers and RV trailers.
