CURT Wins SEMA Best Exterior Accessory Award

CURT, a supplier of towing products and manufacturer of USA-made custom-fit trailer hitches, has won its second consecutive SEMA award in the category of Best Accessory. The new universal tri-ball coupler lock #23082 was announced as the winner of the SEMA 2020 Best New Exterior Accessory.

CURT is now a SEMA award winner two years in a row. Last year, the CURT BetterWeigh mobile towing scale #51701 took home the 2019 Best Exterior Accessory Award. This year, the same award has been given to the new tri-ball lock.

The CURT universal tri-ball coupler lock #23082 component allows the lock to fit virtually all standard coupler sizes: 1-7/8-inch, 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch, the company says. Additionally, it can be used whether the trailer is hooked up for towing or left unattended. One security feature of this new lock is its built-in breaking points. If a potential thief is determined enough to strike the lock in an attempt to break it, the tri-ball is equipped with safety points that break off at the base under enough force, leaving the ball inserted in the coupler, continuing to prevent unwarranted trailer hookup.
