Expert Answers about Chevrolet Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler


  • Availability of Straight Coupler Replacement for Titan Aero 7500 Brake Actuator # T63FR
  • The Titan Aero 7500 brake actuator, part # T63FR, has a 2-inch ball and fits a 3 inch wide channel tongue. It has a weight capacity of 7,500 lbs. In a straight bolt-on coupler with a 2 inch ball that fits a 3 inch wide channel, the coupler with the highest weight capacity would be the Titan Leverlock Coupler - Adjustable Ball, part # T4845000. This coupler will only have a weight capacity of 5,000 lbs, which is lower than the 7,500-lb capacity on the Titan Aero 7500 brake actuator. The...

  • 2-Inch Ball Straight Tongue Coupler for Home-Built Ice House Trailer with 2-1/2-Inch-Wide Tongue
  • We have three straight-tongue trailer couplers like # CT-2002-Z that will fit a 2-inch ball and mount on a 2-1/2-inch wide channel tongue. All of these are rated for 3500-lbs and can be seen on the linked page. If you need to drill a hole in either the trailer tongue (to match the coupler) or in the new coupler (to match the hole in the trailer tongue) it is kind of a toss up since the home-built trailer has no warranty from a manufacturer. But since the coupler is a fairly inexpensive...

  • Availability of a Trailer Coupler that Fits a 3-1/2 Inch Wide Tongue
  • If the trailer tongue in question is 3-1/2 inches round then you can use Bulldog coupler # BD028383. If you have a square or rectangular tongue then a 3-1/2 inch wide straight coupler is not available. You may be able to use a channel bracket like # BDAC3000300, weld it to the end of the tongue, and then use coupler # BDA200C0317.

  • Availability of a 4 Inch Wide Channel Tongue for a Trailer
  • The largest channel width channel or straight tongue coupler we currently offer is 3 inches. I included a link for you as well. What you could do is go with a channel coupler # PSA256S0303 and then weld on a channel bracket # BDAC5000300. I recommend using a professional welder too.

  • The Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler W/ EZ-Latch # DM13689-52 you were looking at uses 1/2" mounting hardware so you will need to pick up three 1/2" grade 8 bolts, six grade 8 washers, and three grade 8 lock nuts to secure this to your 3" wide pole tongue. I included a video review of the # DM13689-52 for you to take a look at.

  • Availability of Folding 3 x 3-Inch Trailer Tongue Coupler for Aluminum Trailer
  • We do offer a number of different fold-away couplers for various sizes of straight trailer tongues but these are intended only for use on steel trailer frames. Aluminum trailers, for all their good non-corrosive and lightweight nature, are simply not strong enough to allow the attachment of a hinged tongue mechanism like # FHDPB330301 and the others shown on the linked page. You can make absolutely sure by contacting Shorelander with your trailer's VIN number. As the maker of your trailer...

  • Availability of a Repair Kit for a Valley Trailer Coupling # 5125
  • Since Valley went out of business the replacement parts are no longer being made. From the research that I have done it looks like the Coupler Repair Kit for 2" Curt Couplers # C25194 would be the best fit for a repair kit. What I recommend doing is replacing your coupler completely. Replacement parts for Valley equipment are becoming harder to come by since they do not make them anymore so it would benefit you to get a coupler that is currently being manufactured. I have linked our...

  • Is There A Way To Extend The Tongue Of A Trailer?
  • While we don't have a trailer tongue extender that folds in like the one you are referring to, there are a couple options that may suit your needs. You could potentially use a fold-away coupler adapter such as Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPW230300. This is designed to be added in between the trailer frame and the coupler so that the tongue can fold in for easy storage. You could technically install this, then use a longer coupler to extend the tongue. Keep in mind, trailer manufacturers...
