Rated for up to 7,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight, it features a universal 2" x 2" shank, a 2" drop with 3/4" rise for level towing, and a durable black powder coat finish that resists corrosion and wear. Its CNC-formed, robotically welded construction ensures reliable strength and easy installation, making it the go-to choice for professional-grade towing performance. ## Description CURT class 3, or standard-duty, ball mounts are a step up from classes 1 and 2. They feature a 2" x 2" shank and have a higher weight capacity for towing heavy-duty trailers, including utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, single-horse livestock trailers and most recreational vehicle trailers. With class 3 trailer hitches being the most common type of trailer hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs, the class 3 ball mount, by association, is an excellent complement to this trailer hitch and these larger vehicles (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc).This particular class 3 ball mount has a gross trailer weight capacity of 7,500 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs. It features a length of 12-1/4", a drop of 2" and a possible rise of 3/4". Class 3 ball mounts are CNC-formed and robotically welded to ensure unwavering precision and dependable strength in each and every unit. We mechanically descale each one to provide a smooth surface for a long-lasting finish. This class 3 ball mount comes with a durable gloss black powder coat finish to protect against corrosion, scratches, UV damage and more to give it the thick skin it needs to face the road ahead. Review: Great Towing Solution for my 2022 Bronco - I have a 2022 Wildtrak Bronco with the Sasquatch package. I also have a 1600 lb popup that I use the bronco to tow. I originally had a standard ball mount on my Bronco. When I purchased the camper, I had to remove the 35" spare tire to tow. The jack on the camper couldn't clear the tire. That was not a great solution and didn't want to remove the tire every time I went camping. Next, I bought an 8" hitch extension. That solved the issue of clearing the tire. I didn't like the sound of things back there when I drove over bumps. I also didn't like the stance of my back wheels when the camper was installed. Then after some research I realized the hitch extension was a terrible idea. I had no idea that it reduced my towing capacity by half. After searching high and low, I found this ball mount and it was the perfect solution to my problems. It has enough length to clear the tire. I still get to keep my towing capacity. Finally, it is one solid piece so I don't have to worry about sounds and multiple places for failure. On top of that you can't beat the price. I've used on two trips that were over 5 hours one way and had no issues. If you have a lighter camper that doesn't need a weight distribution hitch, this is a perfect solution to clear large rear tires on jeeps or Broncos.
