CURT 45260 Class III 2" Ball Mount

Super product for anyone who own any kind of SUV with a back door mounted spare tire. Shipping was quick, price is a little on the high side but since i needed it...Definately recommended.

This extended hitch bar works perfectly for my situation - I needed at least 5" of bar exposed between the end of the hitch and the ball mount. This gives me 5.75" to slide the bike carrier into the bar and still have a hitch to pull the boat. It's difficult to find anything close locally, but they delivered it in under 12 hours! Spectacular service, at $32 was a bargain!

Robust and well made

I have a 2022 Wildtrak Bronco with the Sasquatch package. I also have a 1600 lb popup that I use the bronco to tow. I originally had a standard ball mount on my Bronco. When I purchased the camper, I had to remove the 35" spare tire to tow. The jack on the camper couldn't clear the tire. That was not a great solution and didn't want to remove the tire every time I went camping. Next, I bought an 8" hitch extension. That solved the issue of clearing the tire. I didn't like the sound of things back there when I drove over bumps. I also didn't like the stance of my back wheels when the camper was installed. Then after some research I realized the hitch extension was a terrible idea. I had no idea that it reduced my towing capacity by half. After searching high and low, I found this ball mount and it was the perfect solution to my problems. It has enough length to clear the tire. I still get to keep my towing capacity. Finally, it is one solid piece so I don't have to worry about sounds and multiple places for failure. On top of that you can't beat the price. I've used on two trips that were over 5 hours one way and had no issues. If you have a lighter camper that doesn't need a weight distribution hitch, this is a perfect solution to clear large rear tires on jeeps or Broncos.

I spent an extra two bucks to go w Curt because I know their stuff is always good quality. I got an extended shank for more tounge offset when needed and tapped a second hole in this one so I can set it shorter in the receiver when I want. This is my 3rd or 4th Curt products order 👍
