Description
CURT 45240 adjusts between 9-1/4-inch and 12-1/4-inch shank positions. Move the hollow shank to its second hole after removing the pin and clip when a compatible trailer or bike rack needs more clearance from the bumper or spare tire. This black powder-coated steel mount fits a two-inch receiver, with a six-inch drop or four-inch rise.
CURT rates this mount for 7,500 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) and 750 lb tongue weight (TW) in the 6-inch drop position, or a lower 6,000 lb GTW and 600 lb TW when reversed for a 4-inch rise. Use the rating for the actual installation orientation and the lowest-rated towing component. The trailer ball and hitch pin are sold separately.
Check the rating for the mounting orientation: CURT 45240 is rated for 7,500 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) and 750 lb tongue weight in its 6-inch drop position. With the ball platform flipped for a 4-inch rise, the limits are 6,000 lb GTW and 600 lb tongue weight. Two receiver pin holes give 9-1/4-inch or 12-1/4-inch length settings; these adjust reach rather than ball height. A trailer ball with a 1-inch shank and hitch pin are sold separately.
