Engineered to fit any 2-1/2-inch receiver, it supports up to 20,000 lbs towing capacity with a secure spring-loaded locking arm and a weather-resistant powder coat finish, making it the go-to choice for professionals demanding reliability and durability in agriculture, construction, and beyond. ## Description In agriculture, construction and even military applications, pintle hitches are the trusted product of specialized towing. They are notorious for their high weight capacity and simple design. The basic pintle hitch is essentially a hook and loop, with the hook attached to the vehicle and the loop mounted on the trailer. Because of their simple design, pintle hitches are able to have thicker metal construction and more secure coupling. CURT combination ball and pintle hitches combine both a pintle hook and a standard trailer ball to give you a more complete towing option on your heavy-duty truck or SUV. This particular receiver-mount ball and pintle hook is designed to insert into any 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" receiver tube. With a trailer ball capacity of 20,000 lbs., it offers a solid complement to any class 5 trailer hitch (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). The pintle hook fits any lunette ring with a 2-1/2" or 3" inside eye diameter, while the trailer ball can be coupled to any 2-5/16" coupler. The heavy-duty towing done with pintle hitches brings with it a certain amount of wear and tear on your towing equipment, and to prepare for this, CURT uses a quality finish on all of our pintle mounts, lunette eyes and combination pintle hitches. This hitch-mounted ball and pintle combo is coated in a black powder coat finish with a chrome plating on the trailer ball, providing the perfect amount of rust and scratch resistance needed to face the heavy-duty towing you do every day. Review: Solid - I bought this four or five years ago. This has been probably the best, longest last trailer hitch I’ve had. I do landscaping and it’s constantly hooked up to something. Solid piece, I definitely recommend this. Review: Well made - Towed 20000 lbs 300 miles as soon as we got it . No problems. Worked great. ## Features - VERSATILE TOWING - This ball and pintle hitch combination equips your pickup truck for heavy-duty towing jobs. The 2-5/16-inch diameter ball can be coupled to a 2-5/16-inch trailer coupler or a lunette ring with a 2-1/2-inch to 3-inch inside diameter - CONVENIENT FIT - For maximum convenience and an easy installation whenever needed, this pintle hitch features a 2-1/2-inch x 2-1/2-inch shank to fit virtually any industry-standard 2-1/2-inch hitch receiver - DEPENDABLE STRENGTH - This ball and pintle hook combo is rated for a pintle capacity of 20,000 lbs., a ball capacity of 20,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 4,000 lbs.
