The main difference between our etrailer.com Coupler Lock, item # e98890, and the Master Lock Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock - Stainless Steel, item # 2847DAT, is the style of the locks.
The Masterlock has the advantage of being able to be used on many different styles of coupler and has a normal style key that can be duplicated at a local hardware store.
The Deadbolt has a short span, 7/8 inches, so it can be flush to prevent removal. This style is more compact than the stick and block... view full answer...
The only difference between the Curt Channel-Mount Coupler - Squeeze Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - 15,000 lbs # C25328 and Trailer Coupler - Adjustable Channel Mount - Squeeze Latch - Black - 2-5/16" Ball - 15,000 lbs # CTA-280 is the manufacturer.

The difference is more than just the shank that comes with it. The part # BXW0553 is for underslung couplers where the coupler attaches to the bottom of the frame so the angle of the hitch ball is different from the # BXW0556. view full answer...
There is not difference actually. The part # CAB-C5G is the part number we use here at etrailer for the Convert-A-Ball Adjustable Fifth-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter. The part number that Convert-A-Ball uses is C5G1216.

We do offer a range of adjustable ball mounts that have a 2-inch hitch ball and fit a 2-inch hitch, such as Curt # C45900 and the others shown on the included link. This Curt mount adjusts from a 6-inch drop to a 5-1/4-inch rise in 1-inch increments. Please refer to the linked video.
In order to make your ball mount height adjustment as you exit and re-enter your driveway you will need to stop and secure the trailer and either decouple it, or if you are very handy with operating your tongue... view full answer...
To determine how much of a Rise or Drop you would need so that your towing setup is level you will need to compare some measurements.
Start off my parking your 2017 GMC on level ground and then measuring from the ground to the top of the receiver opening. You will then want to park your trailer on level ground and measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the top of your receiver opening is taller (which is most likely the case) you will want to subtract the height of the... view full answer...
I have a few options depending on the amount you will be towing and how adjustable you want to hitch to be for other trailers. First is the Curt RockerBall Anti-Rattle Towing Kit # C63KR. This uses a standard style ball mount with a cushioned 2" hitch ball. This will be set at the 3" height and is not adjustable but is the most economical of the choices.
The Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount # 325-GH-12005 is a cushioned mount. It does allow you to bolt the bracket from a 0-6" drop... view full answer...
I can help you spot the differences between the Hopkins Smart Hitch and the NVision.
First both the NVision # HM60195VA and the Smart Hitch # HM50002 are made by the same company Hopkins, so they will have many similarities, but there are a few differences.
The Smart Hitch # HM50002 does have the hitch mode and the everyday mode where as the NVision only has the "everyday" mode.
In Everyday Mode, the monitor will display a grid in red, yellow, and green that alerts you to the distance... view full answer...

The Lock N Roll # 336VS517 has a rise or drop of 4 1/2", and the Lock N Roll # # 336VS503505 has a rise or drop of 4 1/4".
The main difference between the 2 Lock N Roll hitches # 336VS503505 and # 336VS517 is that the # 336VS503505 is adjustable. There's 3 different positions it can be mounted in the channel. The holes are spaced 2" apart, so 4 1/4" is the lowest and highest setting, about 2" for the middle position, no drop or rise at the third position.

In regards to a Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter like part # RP94720 and a Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Pin Box like part # 325-GH-8045, the main difference is that one uses air for cushioning and the other uses rubber. The benefit of air is that you can adjust the pressure for the desired ride quality and the benefit of rubber is that you don't have to worry about making any adjustments.

Any type of lock you put on your trailer will be a theft deterrent. I recommend using the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock, part # FA86-0015-316, because it can mount on 1-7/8, 2 and 2-5/16 inch couplers and it fits on a wide variety of coupler types. The Diversi-Tech lock will be harder and noisier to break off than the Master Lock coupler lock which is a better deterrent for thieves.
Wheel locks are also a secure option, but can be tedious to apply and still gives thieves a chance to... view full answer...

When comparing the B&W Companion To the Curt A 20, there are some basic differences that make both models attractive.
The B&W Companion # BWRVK3300 has a very sturdy base that can be easily disconnected from the hitch head and the pivot arms are easily adjustable and have not only height adjustment but can move either closer to cab or farther from cab. It weighs about 150 lbs in total. The negative is the lack of cool features like a coupler indicator and the standard B&W gray color.

The eZ latch of the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole and Anchors, eZ-Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - 21K # DM16680-52 is absolutely just as safe as a slide lock coupler.
It doesn't use a pin but still exceeds the SAE J684 safety standards, which are tests for strength and stability attachment so you can absolutely be confident in this coupler and how secure and safe you will be while towing.

The mounting hole pattern is different on the # T4853100 coupler versus the pattern on the # T4079200 coupler.
As you can see in the attached photos the bolt pattern is closer together on the side of the # T4079200 coupler than on the # T4853100. You may wind up with some of the mounting holes in the same place but you will need to drill new holes for some if not all of the holes.

It is important to have the right options for rise and drop for your 2020 Ford F-150. To choose a ball mount with the correct rise and drop, you'll first need to take two measurements: your hitch height and coupler height. The difference... view full answer...

I have included images below showing the measurements for each of these bolt patterns to compare with what you have on your trailer.
