## Description

CURT 1-7/8" trailer balls are constructed from high-strength steel to match the towing power of your class 1 or class 2 trailer hitch and ball mount and come with fine threads on the shank for improved holding strength. Having a trailer ball that matches your coupler size is absolutely essential. At CURT, we engineer our trailer balls to be precisely fitted. When we stamp 1-7/8" into the top of each hitch ball, we actually mean 1-7/8".This CURT tow ball features a ball capacity of 2,000 lbs. It is able to tow most utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, smaller livestock trailers and some recreational vehicle haulers (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). As with any trailer, be sure that your towing equipment is capable of handling the load before hitching up. This trailer ball also features a 3/4" shank diameter, a 1-5/8" shank length, 0" of rise and a nickel-chrome finish to protect against corrosion and wear. Like all CURT trailer balls, our 1-7/8" balls are tested for your safety and meet all U.S. VESC specifications.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dependable Performance and Quality Construction!
*by A***K on August 24, 2023*

Right out of the box, the chrome finish of the hitch ball exudes a sense of durability and sturdiness. The construction feels robust, and it's clear that attention to detail has been given to its design.The 2,000 lbs weight capacity is perfect for my towing needs. It provides the confidence I need when hauling small trailers, utility trailers, or even our jetskis. I've found that the hitch ball offers a secure connection and smooth towing experience, even during turns and maneuvers.Installation was straightforward. The hitch ball fit snugly onto my hitch mount, and the included washer and nut secured it in place without any wobbling or play.The chrome plating not only adds a touch of visual appeal but also serves as a protective layer against corrosion and rust. I've used the hitch ball in various weather conditions, and it has held up exceptionally well without any signs of wear.
