Video Transcript for Titan Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler - Standard Coupler - T1755000 Review
Today were going to take a quick look at the Titan weld on Coupler for two and five sixteenth balls part number t1755000. This is a weld on coupler designed to be used with trailers that have three inch wide tongues. Well take a measurement here of the inside width and well get our three inches. The coupler has an overall length of about nine and half inches. Its finished in a gray primer so you can come back and paint it whatever color youd like to match your trailer. It has a gross trailer weight capacity of 21,000 pounds.
The latch system is a little bit different than on many other trailer couplers. Theres a safety release here that youll have to pull up in order to open the latch. To close it all you have to do is pull it forward. You do want to make sure that the safety is set properly. When the safety is down in place in the slot the latch cant come open until you pull this.
You can also use a coupler lock here to secure it and prevent the safety release from coming up that way youre guaranteed that the trailer cant come uncoupled while youre pulling it down the road or you can prevent theft while its in storage. Now well show you how the system works from underneath. Inside the ball socket area theres a piece of tubular metal here that fits around the back of the ball. Well pull our safety release and open the lever and you can see that piece of metal move back and out of the way. As we pull the latch forward it drops back down into place.
Now weve got a two and five sixteenth ball with us so well show you how it works with the ball. With that piece of steel there we cant get the ball in. Well open the latch and our ball fits into the socket. Now well close the latch and that piece of metal moves forward and fits around the backside of the ball. Now our balls secured and it allows travel for smooth towing behind the vehicle.
Thats it for a quick look at the Titan weld on Coupler for two and five sixteenth balls part number t1755000.

All was great thank you

This coupler does what it's supposed to do and is stout. But it's finicky hitching up. If there is any back pressure at all, it will not seat. Sometimes I'll need to drive in reverse and hit the brakes hard to get it to fully seat so I can put the pin in.
I have three other trailers with different coupler types that all function smoothly. This is the only one that can be a pain.

just got them and they look great!!
by: Jim M.05/20/2016
It was a perfect addition to my trailer. It strengthened the connector and gave me peace of mind.

The connector has worked flawlessly. It has been a great addition to the trailer.

the operation of the latch is good, the fit to the tongue is a little loose, mine req'd clamping, hammering and filling the gap with a few passes of 7018, it was about .25 large (better than too small). Unit looks superior to the bulldog units i have on other trailers (they seem to stiffen up after a few years in the weather).
by: Ivan R12/18/2013
Very Loose fit (almost 1/4") with standard 3"heavy wall tubing.Adds extra time to install. Locking latch opens nice, but closing it is unnecessarily difficult (flawed design). compared to my 25yr old Atwood. I don't regret purchasing this item. Although these are issues that buyers should be aware of.

Exact fit for replacement on equipment hauling trailer. Heavy-duty. Holding up and operating fine.
by: Steve09/30/2021
The latch binds up having to use a bar to get it to open

It is what I thought it would be, a trailer coupler

It was supposed to fit on a 3 inch tube. But the inside dimention was about 3 5/16"

The inside dimension will be slightly wider then 3 inches in order to have room to be welded on.
by: Rylan07/05/2019
Good quality and better then the old worn and cracked one that was on there
by: Dave G.08/08/2014

I have attached a short video demonstration on this coupler so you can get a better idea of its design and dimensions.

view full answer... - Recommended Latch Repair Kit for a Dico 17550 CouplerDico was actually purchased by Titan quite a while back. They did continue their line, however, and the Titan # T1755000 would be a good replacement option for the whole coupler end. That being said, if you just wanted to repair the coupler without a whole replacement, you can also use the Titan Repair Kit # T1848700.

- Converting A 10K Gross Weight Flatbed Trailer From Hydraulic Brakes To ElectricWe can definitely help with that. To answer your first question, yes, you can use the old drums with the new electric brakes. The 12" x 2" brake assemblies are standard for both hydraulic and electric drum brakes. Provided everything is still in good, usable condition you can absolutely reuse them. To answer your second question, yes, we do offer made in the USA electric brake assemblies. All of the Dexter brand brakes are made here in the USA. For a 12" x 2" assembly, we recommend the...
view full answer... - What Size Coupler Locking Pin is Needed for the Titan CouplerYou can use a 1/4" coupler lock pin like the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock # e98888 to lock the Titan Coupler # T1755000.
view full answer... - Is Demco 21K Weld-On Trailer Coupler AvailableHey Chris! We don't have the weld-on 21K straight coupler from Demco, but you can still use a bolt-on style like the part # DM16080-95 you were looking at and have that welded to your trailer instead of bolting it in place. We used to have the (discontinued) Demco part DM12662-97 which was a weld-on equivalent to the Dexter Axle # T1755000 if you're wanting something like that instead.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Coupler to Replace Dico # 17550We have the Titan version of the coupler you need as Titan Weld-On Coupler part # T1755000 which fits a 3 inch channel and is designed for a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball too.
view full answer... - Solution for Needing Replacement Master Cylinder for DICO ActuatorThe DICO part number 17550 that you referenced actually matches a fixed coupler that we as Titan Weld-On Coupler part # T1755000. Most like you have a DICO model 60 actuator though. For a replacement master cylinder on your Dico Model 60 Actuator for drum brakes, you will need part # T4395100. This includes the master cylinder, gasket, orifice connector, hex bolt, lock washer, filler cap and cover. The part # T4745720 is an example of what a Model 60 actuator looks like.
view full answer... - Is The Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # 12662-97 Available The Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler you purchased in the past is unfortunately no longer available so the next closest option would be the Dexter Coupler for 2-5/16" Ball # T1755000. This coupler is essentially the same as the Demco version minus the EZ-latch mechanism.
view full answer... - Where is the Titan Weld-On Trailer Coupler # T1755000 madeI spoke with my contact at Titan and the Weld-on coupler # T1755000 is made in the U.S.A., formed in Wisconsin and assembled in Iowa.
view full answer... - Repair Kit for the Titan 2-5/16 Inch Weld-On Coupler # T1755000If the coupler on your trailer is the Titan 2-5/16 Inch Weld-On Coupler, # T1755000, then you can use the Titan Coupler Repair Kit, # T1848700. This kit includes all necessary components to replace the broken wedge on your coupler.
view full answer... - Weld-On Straight Tongue Coupler for 3 Inch Tongue Rated for at Least 12,000 PoundsThe Demco coupler # DM12662-97 is fairly shallow front to back. Because of that you are going to want to weld it everywhere that it makes contact with the trailer tongue especially considering the capacities involved. That would be the back side and the bottom. Titan coupler # T1755000 might be more like the design you are looking for. It would be much easier to weld along the sides of this coupler. I have linked a video review for you.

No change since initial review. Its built stout. Trailer needs to pull rearward against tow vehicle to fully seat the locking mechanism. Its maybe what youd expect from a Value Line product does the job, but not as smoothly as a higher end coupler.
