A-frame coupler welds to the bottom of your trailer's A-frame. Push latch down and slide forward or back to open or close ball socket. Black powder coat finish provides durability and rust resistance.This install is on a 2021 25W Artic Fox factory equipped with a top mount coupler and a 2019 Ford F250 with a built in step in the tailgate. As originally setup with a weight distribution hitch using a 12inch shank the tailgate would rest on the coupler latch (photo-1). I installed an 18inch Equalizer shank 90-02-4500. To determine the correct drop and rise use the Equalizer website. This shank gives me a 3 inch drop and a 5 inch rise. The 18 inch shank moved the trailer back 6 inch yet the camera in the tailgate rested on the coupler (photo-2). I then installed a bottom mount coupler CA-5335-B from etrailer (Photo 3, 4). This gave clearance for the tailgate to open. The tailgate clears the A-frame of the trailer by 5 inches (photo 5). I have found that it is easier to climb over the hitch when hooked up with the 18Inch shank (Photo 6). To finish the installation I installed 35 inch 18,800# chains and a 6ft breakaway cable. The cost with welding $445. To protect my trailer from theft I use a Proven Industries Hitch lock model 2516-J (Photo 7, 8).
This is a great product. My trailer height had me at the top of my 8"shank. I took this to my local welding shop and had it back that afternoon.
This "underslug" lower coupler works great, it lowered my connection level which works great with my F-150. It has a 14,000 lbs. rating & a good locking latch.
My RV trailer stands really tall and in order to tow it level my hitch was so high that it interfered with my tailgate. By cutting the regular coupler off the top of the frame and welding this underslung coupler to the bottom of my 6" frame, I gained about 5" of space. This allowed me to move my hitch ball down while keeping the trailer level. I can now open my tailgate without hitting the hitch.
Great option for higher built trailers! Well made and very simple to install
It's what I need. Will install it next month.
Arrived in perfect condition
I had purchased one of these in the past and installed and it came with a top plate
These couplers are great for replacements on already built trailers
Sure wish this one had come with the top plate, but overall are good couplers

Just fine. This was to upgrade and replace an older coupler. Weld on was very simple
It fits fine, You must have someone who knows or done the grind the old one off and the weld the new one on properly. The thumb latch operates much better than the old.
Excellent great hitch and a easy fix
Quality Product & Great Service !
Had to miss our trip due to delayed shipping. Was in a pinch due to a failure. Specifically ordered from etrailer due to expected delivery date listed on website. After ordering the EDD changed by 5 days. Contacted customer service and they were unable to help.
After my original coupler was damaged, I ordered this replacement. It was a perfect fit for the original. I had a welder come to my home and install it and I was on my way in an hour. Quick shipping by etrailer and just what I needed for my Jayco bunkhouse.
Product was received in a timely manner and appears to be of good quality. I would recommend etrailer.
Worked perfectly and received it in a good timely manner.
Well made. Great price. Fast shipping. Direct replacement for 1973 Avion.
Great bang for the buck high quality no signs of stressing it hauls a box blade tractor around and skid steers
Excellent customer service, great quality part

It has been a year since installing the underslung trailer couple. We have towed a lot of miles with good success. I am pleased with the truck and trailer setup and the tailgate clearance. I have no worries about damaging my tailgate or backup camera. I have had trouble releasing the ball when disconnecting the trailer. If there is tension on the hasp it will hold the ball. When this happens I have to move the truck forward or backward to relieve the tension.
