Quality is something CURT is known for. You can't go wrong with it. It is heavy (I usually hang my car and boat accessories, but this one just sits on my workbench when it is There is no problem with that). Furthermore, it is the perfect fit (with an inverted riser) for my 2013 Highlander to hitch my boat trailer to. In addition to that, I'm happy with an equally sturdy hitch pin/cotter pin combo (Curt 21510, available here on Amazon) with rubberized coatings on the ends for increased grip during travel. This book is highly recommended. Please take note several times to find the right rise because simple measurement isn't exact, since the car also sinks when you add weight (and Highlanders have The height and center of gravity of an SUV while being It is the windshield wipers which move the car when it is in a still state. sound obvious, but if you are new to trailering like I was, make sure you test both your car and trailer with your maximum load on the trailer. Here's what I came up with.
My 2005 Sienna with a Curt receiver was equipped with this. My top inside receiver was 10" above the ground and I wanted to rise it by 6" to reach a total height of 17". a 4x8 Box trailer) and when I stopped at the store, I measured the trailers at 17-feet long 18" in length. The mount cannot connect the ball to the sleeve without the use of the Curt 40004 ball and the Curt 45007 sleeve since there are no indents or tabs to prevent the ball from rotating. Curt's 45007 tongue sleeve turned out to be the best solution (although it was a little pricey) and allowed the balls to be installed and removed with just Curt products were expected to be made in the United States according to some reviews. Based on what I have used so far, I can confirm that all Curt products I purchased Combined, they comprise the 45090 mount, 40002/40004 ball, 23590 anti-tilt ball, and 40036 base. There are three types of rattle kits made overseas (mostly in China), including the 45007 sleeve and the 20001 wrench. The black powder coat on these mounts looks good, but it is chipped, scratched, and damaged in many spots since they are not individually packaged. Rusting is going to be an issue once it is exposed to the The hitchbag I keep in the vehicle trunk does not remain attached, but is placed in a hitch bag. In the Classic Accessories 74877 Hitch Tote with 2" ball mounted, I was just able to squeeze in without pushing the tote over the maximum allowable size. In addition, I was preparing for a future tow and I have not confirmed that my choice of 6" rise for the 2005 Sienna is correct for it.
Welds on this part are crappy so it can't fit into reducer 45404. Pin holes will have to line up before we can mount them. Having a curtain nowadays is different than using one in the past. Make sure you get parts that fit by spending a little more.
purchased this Class III hitch along with a drawbar and ball for less than a complete Class II Instructions are lacking in that they do not even mention what torque the bolts should be torqued to Weight in lbs. arduous due to its weight, but it held up well after a recent 2000-mile It would be best to revise Using locktite on bolts after the first tow and torqueing the bolts after the first tow.
In this second visit, I would like to share my experience. My experience with these over 35 years is that I never received one (with numerous name brands) with the hole not centered. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I've bought, had, and used these for over 35 years. As we are towing down the road, you would think being centered would matter, after all, a little weight on the wheel would make a difference. We're going to try a different.
From a quality point of view, the curtain ball mount is impressively well made and Currently, I'm using the ball mount in the rise position, which provides 6 inches of rise. This gives me the height I need to use my utility trailer with my 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
All in all, a great.
There was some rigging to be done because I have both a class 1 and a class 2 Too much ground clearance is needed for my SUV. Due to the front of my trailer being too low, I purchased an extension for the 2" receiver to raise it to class 1. It is perfect for helping my trailer ride level when I use it as a riser. I think the construction is good as I'd.
