The CURT vertical hitch adapter is designed to convert a vertical receiver into a standard ball mount platform or horizontal receiver tube.
A receiver tube that points down toward the ground is sometimes preferred on a vehicle because the hitch can then be completely hidden from view.
With this design, a special ball mount with a vertical shank is required to make the vehicle ready for towing a trailer or hitch-mounted accessory.
This CURT vertical receiver adapter features a 2" x 2" shank and has a gross trailer weight capacity of 5,000 lbs.
and a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs.
It has a length of 4-1/4" and a drop of 2-7/16".
CURT adapters are constructed using quality manufacturing processes.
Each unit is CNC-formed, welded together using advanced robotic systems, and then mechanically descaled to make each adapter smooth for a finishing coat.
The adapters receive a durable gloss black powder coat finish for excellent rust, chip, and UV resistance.
