What Recent Buyers Report<\/strong><\/p>\nNew users say that this hitch ball fits perfectly on most vehicles and hitched to trailers with the greatest of ease. To add, they were impressed with the overall quality and construction. One user said that he uses it regularly to hitch his camper to his truck. The camper stays in place and doesn\u2019t move or sway around, making it a perfect fit. <\/p>\n
Why it Stands Out to Us<\/strong><\/p>\nThis hitch ball is measured at two inches in diameter, which means it can fit a good amount of heavy-duty trailers and RVs. It\u2019s the perfect hitch ball to have when you are towing or carrying things around be it across town or across the country. It\u2019s a chrome-lined hitch ball that is designed to stand up to weather, corrosion, or any other elements that may otherwise cause some kind of short-term (or long-term) damage. It\u2019s a pretty solid hitch ball and is worth every penny of investing. <\/p>\n
Who Will Use This Most<\/strong><\/p>\nThis is for those who have RVs or campers and need a good hitch for those cross country road trips. Also, it\u2019s perfect for UHaul trailers for when you are moving your stuff but don\u2019t need the large truck to carry it all. It\u2019s a pretty solid hitch ball that won\u2019t be one of those hitches that will last you a really short time. It\u2019s built for the long haul (figuratively and literally). <\/p>\n
Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\nThe CURT 40004 earns its spot as the \u201cbest overall\u201d choice. You can hitch this to a good number of trailers, campers, and everything in between as long as its 6000 pounds or below. It looks good, it works good, and will definitely be a reliable hitch ball that will work to your advantage. <\/p>\n

What Recent Buyers Report<\/strong><\/p>\nNew buyers say that they were able to use this for their much heavier loads (including small vehicles and heavy trailers, RVs, etc.). They said that they were able to install this on their vehicles with ease and it didn\u2019t take them long to test drive it. So far, they were able to transport their intended loads safely and securely without any additional issues.<\/p>\n
Why it Stands Out to Us<\/strong><\/p>\nThis CURT model is a bit thicker and bigger than our previous model. And this time, it will take on well over twice the amount of weight. Like all CURT hitch balls, they are chrome-lined so you can expect this to be excellent in quality and able to ward off any rust, corrosion, and any other damaging elements that would threaten it\u2019s longevity or integrity. If you want a long-lasting hitch ball that won\u2019t break, wear, tear or anything else then you may want to consider purchasing this for your hitching needs. <\/p>\n
Who Will Use This Most<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you plan on carrying really heavy loads, chances are you\u2019ll be able to get the job done with this hitch in particular. This one will be really hard to rust or corrode since it\u2019s made to resist it as much as possible. Come rain or shine, you\u2019ll rely on this for when you need to move heavier loads or even small vehicles. It can stand up to weather and it can work hard to make every hitching task a breeze. <\/p>\n
Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\nThe CURT 40030 is arguably one of the most solid trailer hitch balls that you can find on the market. It\u2019s the perfect hitch ball to move all of your stuff from one place to the next, even when it might be a little too heavy for the others. It\u2019s rough, it\u2019s tough, and it will be your saving grace in the times you might need it most. <\/p>\n

- Superior quality<\/span><\/li>\n
- Installs in minutes<\/span><\/li>\n
- Affordable for most budgets<\/span><\/li>\n

CONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Some reported the nut missing when shipped<\/span><\/li>\n

What Recent Buyers Report<\/strong><\/p>\nNew users were in search of a hitch that handled the light heavy-duty tasks. Most of them were using it for small trailers that were being used for landscaping tasks (and transporting all kinds of tree trimmings and the like). One user said that it was perfect for his backyard work whenever he needed it for those all-day projects. Overall, the install and ability to handle the loads lead to no fuss use for most buyers.<\/p>\n
Why it Stands Out to Us<\/strong><\/p>\nWe\u2019ve talked about the average loads, the heavy loads, and now we\u2019ll dive into the lighter side of the scale. This hitch had a weight capacity of 3000 pounds. This is what you\u2019ll want to have handy if and when you need to do some yard work and you have plenty of land to cover in the process. It will be perfect for when you need to transport discarded branches, bags of grass, and anything that may require proper disposal. Furthermore, if you are planning on transporting with the use of a lawnmower or even an ATV, then you might find this hitch ball to be the perfect fit. <\/p>\n
Who Will Use This Most<\/strong><\/p>\nThough it is affordable for budget shoppers, it might just be a hitch ball that can be used for light-duty vehicles (most of the time, they\u2019ll usually be off-road vehicles). But you still get a hitch ball that is in good quality and will be perfect for all of your tasks whether it\u2019s rain or shine. For yard work or simply just moving things around the house, this hitch ball might just be right up your alley.<\/p>\n
Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\nThe CURT 40003 could be the go-to option for anyone who wants a hitch ball that is built for the lighter end of heavy-duty projects. It might not log in miles on the road, but it can surely log in miles off the road. It\u2019s not afraid to get down and dirty nor is it afraid to take on some heavy toting. <\/p>\n
