CURT 40085 Raw Steel Trailer Hitch Ball, 30,000 lbs, 2-5/16-Inch Diameter, 1-1/4 x 2-5/8-Inch Shank

Not same as listed will rust fast look closer and images posted tag even shows a different item number

This is the strongest ball I can find and its only slightly more expensive than others. It is bare steel and will immediately rust so I spray painted mine black and then greased it. I also use a rubber ball cap when unhitched. My only complaint is that there are no flat spots on the sides for holding it while tightening to 450 ft-lbs. You have to use a pipe wrench to hold it which works fine but does leave marks. It seems all the newer balls omit the flat spots. I guess it cost a few cents extra to have them machined.

Heavy duty, long shank.

This is the only one I will ever buy! No chrome to chip off. Keep it oiled and it wont rust.

One tough hitchball

30,000lbs rated for $20 bucks; can’t beat the price for the quality.

good

Heavy duty. Looks and works great!

this thing is a beast!

Works as it should, just either keep it inside when not being used, or keep a thin layer of grease/oil on it if you leave it on your truck, it is raw steel and will rust if you dont. Ive had several that were chrome plated, and eventually the chrome starts peeling off. Thats why I chose this ball. Nice machined finish, looks great.
