In a variety of applications, including agriculture, construction, and even military, pintle hitches have become the trusted product for specialized towing. These hitches are renowned for their impressive weight capacity and straightforward design. At the core of a pintle hitch is a simple hook-and-loop system, where the hook is attached to the vehicle, and the loop is mounted on the trailer. The uncomplicated nature of this design allows for a more robust metal construction and a more secure coupling.

To provide a more comprehensive towing solution for heavy-duty trucks and SUVs, CURT offers combination ball and pintle hitches.

The ball component of this hitch is rated for a capacity of 20,000 lbs., making it a perfect match for class 5 trailer hitches. The pintle hook, on the other hand, can accommodate any lunette ring with an inside eye diameter of 2-1/2" or 3", while the trailer ball can be coupled to any 2-5/16" coupler.

The heavy-duty nature of towing with pintle hitches inevitably leads to wear and tear on the equipment. To address this, CURT has employed a high-quality finish on all of its pintle mounts, lunette eyes, and combination pintle hitches. The ball and pintle combo is coated in a durable black powder coat finish, with the trailer ball further enhanced by a chrome plating. This combination provides exceptional rust and scratch resistance, ensuring the equipment can withstand the rigors of heavy-duty towing.

The versatility of this ball and pintle hitch combination makes it an ideal choice for equipping pickup trucks for demanding towing jobs.

For maximum convenience and easy installation, this pintle hitch features a 2-1/2-inch x 2-1/2-inch shank, designed to fit virtually any industry-standard 2-1/2-inch hitch receiver. This ensures that the hitch can be quickly and securely attached whenever needed.

It is rated for a pintle capacity of 20,000 lbs., a ball capacity of 20,000 lbs., and a tongue weight capacity of 4,000 lbs. The solid forged steel construction of the body further enhances its durability and reliability.

To ensure a secure connection to the trailer, this pintle hitch comes equipped with a spring-loaded arm that locks down onto the hitch ball. This arm can be secured with the included safety pin, providing users with an additional layer of confidence in the stability of the connection.
