CURT 45055 Class III 2-Inch Loaded Ball Mount with 1-7/8-Inch Ball – 3,500 lbs GTW

Overview

The CURT 45055 loaded ball mount delivers a complete towing solution, designed to simplify hitch ups right out of the box. With a factory-torqued trailer ball already pre-fitted, you can expect a streamlined setup and quicker connection when it’s time to tow. The unit includes a mounting pin and clip, so you have everything you need to secure the ball mount in your receiver. Built for rugged reliability, this model features a gloss black powder-coat finish to resist the elements and a polished chrome trailer ball for a clean, durable look that stands up to regular use.

Key Capabilities

• Dependenly strong towing capacity: up to 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight, with the note that capacity may change if the trailer ball is removed.
• Versatile fit: 2" x 2" shank to slide into virtually any standard 2" receiver, with a 4" drop and an 8-1/4" overall length.
• Ready to tow: pre-attached ball plus a hitch pin means fewer steps before you hit the road.
• Corrosion resistance: durable black powder coat paired with a polished chrome ball for long-lasting use.
• Easy installation: slide the shank into the receiver, secure with the included pin, and you’re ready to tow.

Real‑World Use

Imagine hitching a small boat trailer or a utility trailer without fumbling for a ball. The 1-7/8" ball is sized for common smaller setups, while the sturdy 2" x 2" shank anchors securely in the hitch. The 4" drop helps align trailers at a comfortable height for a smooth coupling experience. Each element is designed to be durable enough to handle regular road use, whether you’re preparing for a weekend trip or a quick outdoor errand.

Suggested Scenarios

• Small boat trailers, utility trailers, and popup campers that require a reliable, ready-to-hitch setup.
• Trailers used for dirt bikes, motorcycles, and ATVs where a pre-torqued ball speeds up the hookup.
• Situations where a quick, repeatable tow is beneficial, thanks to an integrated ball and pin/clips system.

Note: Always observe the lowest-rated component in your towing setup and avoid exceeding those limits. The description highlights possibilities rather than guarantees, and actual performance may vary with specific vehicles, trailers, and conditions.
