streamliner –
Listing for “CURT 45371 Forged Trailer Hitch Mount with 2-5/16-Inch Ball & Pin”. The hitch is 5 star. Excellent hitch. The customer service is “0” star. Received sealed box from Curt. No pin & clip enclosed. Called and repeatedly emailed Curt. They brushed me off with corporate mumbo jumbo gaslighting handling nonsense. What a disappointment. Said I needed to contact Amazon, despite the item being shipped from Curt. I eventually called Amazon who after some back and forth credited me the $7.95 + tax cost of buying a separate Curt 21580 pin & clip. (that should have been incl. in Curt box) The problem has been resolved after I invested 3+ hrs of my time. Curt should have just gracefully sent me a pin & clip. Note that countless Comments on Amazon for many Curt hitches detail the same complaint — and yet, nothing is done.

Hauling 10 to 15K lb with this solid piece with no worries. Don’t think about it twice; get it. One of my best purchase of last year. You’ll be impressed and will feel safer out there.

Great quality, my only issue was to reverse the ball for height reasons is tricky, since this ball has no flats to get a wrench on.
