Description

CURT towing starter kits are the all-in-one accessory package to accompany your trailer hitch, equipping you with the necessary components to hitch up and hit the road. Each towing starter kit includes a ball mount and a hitch pin or hitch lock, eliminating the need to purchase these items separately and removing the stress of needing to find components of matching size. This CURT towing starter kit features a Fusion ball mount #45134 with a 2" x 2" shank to fit a class 3, 4 or 5 trailer hitch. CURT Fusion ball mounts are a unique ball mount option, featuring a permanently attached, welded trailer ball. Much like CURT Euro Mount ball mounts, Fusion ball mount trailer balls require no torqueing and can never be loosened or stolen, making them very secure and reliable. The Fusion ball mount in this towing starter kit features a 2" diameter trailer ball, a 2" drop and a 7-1/2" length. It offers a gross trailer weight capacity of up to 7,500 lbs. and a tongue weight rating of 750 lbs. Also included in this towing starter kit is a CURT hitch lock #23021. The lock is a dead bolt-style lock and provides an extra level of security when mounting the Fusion ball mount. Much like a hitch pin, the hitch lock inserts through both the receiver tube of the trailer hitch and the shank of the ball mount. The hitch lock shank can then be secured using the dead bolt lock head. The lock uses an easy-to-operate, quarter-turn activation system and features a chrome-plated finish to ensure solid rust resistance. It comes with two keys and a watertight dust cap to prevent internal corrosion. For the new hitch owner and towing veteran alike, a CURT towing starter kit is the perfect accessory to Bring It. CURT offers custom trailer hitches, electrical products and a complete line of towing accessories to get you there with confidence and enjoy every mile of the journey. There are three main things to consider when selecting a trailer hitch ball mount: how much weight you are going to be towing, what size receiver tube your trailer hitch has and how much drop or rise your ball mount will need (below). First, be sure to select a ball mount with enough gross trailer weight capacity to fit your trailer. Trailer weight is one of the most important aspects of towing, and you should never exceed the weight capacity of any component of your vehicle, trailer or trailer hitch setup. Next, determine what size shank you will need. Receiver tubes come in a handful of standard sizes, including 1-1/4, 2, 2-1/2 and sometimes 3 inches, so finding a ball mount to match is relatively easy. After you know how much weight you will be towing and the size of your receiver tube, you will need to determine the drop or rise necessary for your trailer. Drop or rise is the amount of height difference between the trailer and your tow vehicle, whether that difference is positive (rise) or negative (drop). The diagram offers a quick explanation for how to determine your needed drop or rise. Take the distance from the ground to the top of the inside of your receiver tube opening (A), and subtract it from the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler (B). B minus A equals C, the drop or rise.
