One box holds a pre-torqued 2-inch ball, a ball mount, a key-operated hitch lock, pin and clip, and a tube cover, all rated for 7,500 lbs. Drop a 2-inch trailer onto a 2-inch receiver and go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying towing gear piece by piece is how you end up at the trailer three times before you've got the right ball, the right shank, and something to lock it all down. This CURT kit skips that. It's a complete starter set for a 2-inch receiver hitch, and it drops a pre-torqued 2-inch ball, a ball mount, a hitch lock, a pin and clip, and a rubber tube cover into one reusable case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ball mount carries 7,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight, with 4 inches of drop and 2 inches of rise depending on which way you flip it. That range covers most single-axle and lighter tandem trailers, boat trailers included. CURT CNC-forms and robotically welds these mounts so the fit is tight, then finishes them in gloss black powder coat to hold off rust and road grime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlip the ball mount to match your coupler height, key the hitch lock so nobody walks off with your trailer, and hang the case on a peg between hauls. That's the whole idea. One purchase, and you're ready to tow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated 7,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight, sized for most single-axle and lighter tandem trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits a 2-inch by 2-inch receiver opening with a factory-torqued 2-inch ball that accepts 2-inch couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 inches of drop or 2 inches of rise, just flip the ball mount to switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes ball mount, trailer ball, key-operated hitch lock, pin and clip, and a receiver tube cover in a reusable case\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCNC-formed and robotically welded steel with a gloss black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized CURT MFG reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat's in the CURT 45554 starter kit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA ball mount (#45050), a 2-inch trailer ball (#40037), a key-operated hitch lock (#23515), a receiver tube cover (#22272), a hitch pin and clip, and a reusable case.
