CURT 40003 Chrome Trailer Hitch Ball – 3,500 lbs Capacity
The CURT 40003 is a heavy-duty chrome trailer hitch ball designed for towing loads up to 3,500 lbs.
This automotive accessory is a chrome-finished trailer hitch ball engineered to provide a secure connection point between a towing vehicle and a trailer. It features a 2-inch diameter ball head, making it suitable for various trailer types that utilize this specific size. The shank measures 3/4 x 1-3/4 inches, designed to fit into standard receiver hitches. Because hitch balls are critical safety components, buyers should evaluate the weight capacity requirements of their specific trailer against the 3,500 lbs limit before purchasing. Additionally, users should verify that the shank dimensions match their vehicle's hitch receiver geometry to ensure a proper fit. The chrome finish provides aesthetic appeal while offering resistance to environmental elements during outdoor use.
