  • SECURE INSTALL. For dependable strength, this trailer hitch ball comes with a zinc-plated hex nut and helical lock washer. It also has fine threads for an enhanced hold on the ball hitch (250 lb.-ft. torque required)

CURT 1-7/8" trailer balls are constructed from high-strength steel to match the towing power of your class 1 or class 2 trailer hitch and ball mount and come with fine threads on the shank for improved holding strength. Having a trailer ball that matches your coupler size is absolutely essential. At CURT, we engineer our trailer balls to be precisely fitted. When we stamp 1-7/8" into the top of each hitch ball, we actually mean 1-7/8".This CURT tow ball features a ball capacity of 3,500 lbs. It is able to tow most utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, smaller livestock trailers and some recreational vehicle haulers (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). As with any trailer, be sure that your towing equipment is capable of handling the load before hitching up. This trailer ball also features a 1" shank diameter, a 3" shank length, 0" of rise and a nickel-chrome finish to protect against corrosion and wear. Like all CURT trailer balls, our 1-7/8" balls are tested for your safety and meet all U.S. VESC specifications.

I have used Curt products for many years with outstanding results. I just purchased a new trailer hitch and decided to go with a new ball as well. I chose the 3” shaft version because I like to add a second nut to the bottom, it acts as an added lockup between the two. Excellent quality at an affordable price. I Highly recommend Curt products. 5🌟’s

Fits the Tacoma bumper hitch mount perfectly. Needed a longer bolt section than I could fond locally and got this one here and worked great.

Great !!! It arrived & we put it right on the tractor (lawn mower/tractor). We had hoped to be able to pull some small trailers around on our property and it worked just fine for that. Sturdy.
