Curt Manufacturing 45824 Tow Strap Ball Mount Review

Curt Manufacturing 45824 Tow Strap Ball Mount
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a very sturdy mount. The bar is a solid piece of steel and the D-ring is thick and solid as well. The towing capacity for this mount will easily exceed any towing rating on a non-commercial vehicle (and probably most commercial vehicles as well). The mounting bar fits snugly in my 2"x2" receiver tube and doesn't rattle around.
I gave it a four-star rating because of the price. At the price I paid at the time of purchase it was more than twice the cost of other similar mounts. Also, I really didn't care for the orange painted D-ring which came all scratched up. I swapped out that D-ring for a silver D-ring and kept the orange one for potential use on a vehicle in need of recovery.
Other similar recovery mounting bars are shorter in length and leaves the D-ring sitting closer to your bumper. This Curt mount bar is a little longer and sticks out a bit from your bumper. I prefer a tighter fit leaving the D-ring sitting closer to my bumper, but others may disagree.
All in all, a great solid recovery mount that should last longer than the life-time factory warranty that covers it.

1-1/4" Receiver Convert-A-Ball ATV Hitch with 1-7/8" Ball Review

Fits my 2010 Polaris ATV's factory hitch receiver perfectly, and is exactly what I needed / wanted. It tows my John Deere trailer, drags tarps full of branches / leaves, and can even move light trailers around the yard with it.

WARN 62041 ATV Multi-Mount Steel Receiver Shackle Bracket Review

WARN 62041 ATV Multi-Mount Steel Receiver Shackle Bracket
Average Reviews:

Looking at the picture, I expected the receiver portion to be solid steel (as you would find in a trailer hitch receiver). However, it's hollow! I bought this to use with a recovery strap on my Subaru, as I can't find a trailer hitch with a 2" receiver to fit the vehicle. After a phone call to Warn, I learned that this is rated for a 4000lb ATV winch (hence the hollow construction) and is not robust enough for my intended purpose.
For ATV purposes, I'm sure it would be fine - but for anyone looking at using it with a Class I/II trailer hitch on a car, I would recommend purchasing bar stock and drilling it out. Note to Amazon - listing the weight rating would be very helpful! I can't give this product a low rating since I did, after all, buy it for a different purpose than intended...however, I'd like to see someone else avoid running into the same problem I did.

Bestop 42922-01 HighRock 4X4 2" Receiver Black Recovery Hitch with D-Ring Review

I have a Class III hitch that has a standard 2"x2" receiver tube. The description states this should fit; it does not. It is too large by about an 1/8" on two sides. Not sure if it was milled to the wrong specs or what, but it simply doesn't fit and so it was returned.
This is cut out of a solid block of steel and looks to be extremely sturdy -- if it fit.

Grip Tri-Ball Trailer Hitch Mount With Tow Hook Review

Grip Tri-Ball Trailer Hitch Mount With Tow Hook
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this hitch because I got tired of changing balls on my hitch when I went from my boat to the trailer. This seemed like the perfect solution, until I went to use the 2" ball. The hole for the receiver pin is placed too far back on the shaft so I can not use the two inch ball of this hitch.
A simple solution would be to unscrew one and move the 2" to one of the sides I can use but these balls are welded on.
This product does not do what I bought it for.

There was an unrelated delay in shipping. Otherwise, this cover is what I expected. It fits properly, and keeps dirt and debris out of my front receiver hitch. I'm happy with it.

Curt Manufacturing 21400 1/2 In Hitch Pin With Clip Polybag W/Upc Review

Curt Manufacturing 21400 1/2 In Hitch Pin With Clip Polybag W/Upc
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a hitch pin for a 1 1/4 inch receiver. It will not fit a 2 inch receiver. Small SUVs (Ford Escape for example) and cars with a hitch typically have 1 1 /4 receiver. Full size SUVs (Ford Explorer) and pick-ups typically have a 2 inch receiver.
If you are looking at the 1 1/4 to 2 inch adapter (which this item is normally recommended with) you will need one of these to attach the adapter to the 1 1/4 receiver on your vehicle. You will then also need a 5/8th pin to attach what ever else you have (luggage rack / bike rack for 2" receiver) to the adapter.
