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

Solid product, machining looks great.

Great ball, but came with a 10 cent zinc nut. Poor quality on the nut.

Extremely heavy duty. Not the best corrision resistance but will hold strong for decades. Well worth $20 for 30k towing strength

So far hauled my RV and an old Allis Chalmers tractor for my brother it works!

I purchased and paid extra for the stainless steel ball to stop rust. I had the ball for 2 weeks, it was not on the vehicle that entire time, the shank was covered with rust. I called Curt Industries, after shufling me 3 times from answering, to customer service, to technical support, they told me the ball is not stainless steel, it is only covered with stainless steel and it was going to rust. They told me to return it.

after install the second day and the whole ball was rust!!!!!!!!!!

Does not have the finish shown in the photo, and it got very rusty on the shank, and around the threads. If I ever have to remove it, Ill probably have to cut the nut off with a torch. The ball shown wouldnt have rusted. this ball is bare, white steel If you dont care about that, consider this a 5 star rating.

A must for towing heavy loads

Product is great, but shipping was horrible. Eleven days after ordering product was shipped and took one day to arrive. So much for Amazon Prime.

Beyond expectations for price. My last ball of same part has well over 80,000 miles! The unfinished metal will rut if you don’t cover and grease it but this is a great ball.
