Expert Answers about Folding Trailer Tongue


  • Fulton Fold-Away Coupler for a 2 Inch x 4 Inch Trailer Tongue
  • To put a Fold-Away coupler on your 2" x 4" trailer tongue you are going to need to modify your Tongue. There are no 2" x 4" options available. I recommend using the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 5" Tongue item # FHDPB350101. This will accommodate the larger dimension your tongue has.

  • Bolt on Fold-Away Hinge Kit for a 3 inch by 3inch boat Trailer Tongue
  • For a 3 inch by 3 inch bolt on trailer tongue hinge kit you will need to use the Fulton Bolt On Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit, # FHDPB330301. This hinge kit is designed to bolt on without welding and allows you to create up to a 48 inch long foldaway tongue on your boat trailer, depending on the gross trailer weight and max tongue weight of the trailer.

  • Recommended Weld On Hinged Coupler for 2" x 3" Trailer Tongue
  • I have a solution for you, but you can't weld on the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 2" x 3" Trailer Tongue - Bolt On - Up to 5,000 lbs # FHDPB230101 because of the zinc top coating that's going to generate some poisonous gases when it's welded. Instead, there is a weld on version available that has the same specs with the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 2" x 3" Tongue - Weld On - Up to 5,000 lbs # FHDPW230300, which is what I would recommend. There isn't any difference...

  • Folding Tongue Coupler Parts To Create Complete Assembly

  • Recommended Solution to Extend Boat Trailer Tongue
  • I may have a solution for you, but there isn't really a direct way to extend the tongue of your trailer 2 feet. However, you could potentially use the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 2" x 3" Tongue - Weld On - Up to 5,000 lb # FHDPW230300 and then swap the coupler to a different length of trailer frame that is the length that you need it to be.

  • Parts to Convert From 12 Inch Hydraulic to Electric Trailer Brakes
  • Thanks so much for the photos as they were very helpful; they show your trailer's drums are 12 inches in diameter, and that you do have a 5-bolt brake mounting flange. To switch from hydraulic to electric trailer brakes you are correct you would be able to use your current coupler as well as drums, and we do have the parts needed for you to switch, which are the following: - Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA -...

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for Two 74" Wide Kayaks
  • The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 is going to be a bit too narrow to be able to carry your two kayaks that are 74" wide. This trailer is only 54" wide from fender to fender so with your kayaks being 20" wider this is not going to be the best option in my opinion. I recommend going with the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer - 78" Crossbars - Retractable Tongue # MPG460XT with two of the etrailer Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding # e98878. This...

  • Trailer Hitch For A 2015 Lexus ES 300h Hauling Bikes
  • The trailer hitch # 36643 is not confirmed to fit your 2015 Lexus ES 300h. You would need The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11362. This hitch has a 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch opening and has a tongue weight up to 200 pounds. To make your 1-1/4 inch hitch into a 2 inch hitch you will need The Hitch Adapter # HTAD using this will cut your tongue weight in half giving you only 100 pounds of tongue weight. This will not work for carrying your 58 pound bike rack and your two 75 pound bikes. You...

  • Curt Hitch Receiver for Handicap Mobility Scooter on a 2016 Nissan Rogue
  • I would be happy to help you and I have a great hitch receiver for you. It is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13204. I recommend getting a class III hitch with the highest tongue rating possible for your carrier and scooter and this one is it. You will want to check with your vehicle's owners manual or the inside door sticker to see what your Nissan Rogue's maximum tongue weight is. The maximum tongue weight of the Curt hitch receiver is 525 lbs. This receiver has a 6/10 on difficulty...

  • 2 Inch Hitch Needed to Carry 2 65-lb E-Bikes on 2015 Honda Accord
  • Unfortunately, our manufacturers don't offer a 2 inch hitch for your 2015 Honda Accord. If you can remove the battery packs and somehow get the weight of the bikes down to 65lbs each or less, we have a solution that would work for you. You'd first need a Class I hitch like the # C11681 which has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity. For a rack, the Thule EasyFold, part # TH903202 can accommodate 2 bikes weighing up to 65 lbs each with tires up to 3 inches wide. For tires up to 4-11/16 inches...

  • Recommended Spare Tire Carrier for 8 Lug Wheel on Trailer Tongue
  • If your spare tire is under 45-lbs, then you can use the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 but a better solution if you've got a trailer frame that is 4" x 4" would be the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount # UF15-954730. This carrier has a capacity of 60-lbs so it's going to be able to handle a little bit more beefy of a wheel; while it's normally meant for a bumper, it can be used on a trailer frame all the same. I've linked some review...

  • Hitch Extender For A Pontoon Boat Trailer
  • The swing away extenders are for the use of bike racks and cargo carriers only. They're not meant for towing use. You will need to use an extender like The Draw-Tite Hitch Extender # HE18 this can be used on any standard 2 inch receiver, or you can use The Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPW330300 which allows you to create up to 48 inches of foldaway tongue for your trailer. It will fit a 3 inch by 3 inch trailer tongue. Using this extender will extend your hitch 18 inches from...

  • Recommend 1-1/4 Hitch Extender For Thule T2 TH917XTR To Clear Rear Bumper When Folded Up
  • For a 1-1/4 inch hitch extender, we have the Brophy Hitch Extender, part # HES6. This will extend the receiver by 6 inches. However, when using a hitch extender you will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch in half. So if you have a Class I hitch which has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs, you would be limited to carrying 100 lbs. This includes the weight of the Thule T2, which is about 50 pounds, plus the weight of your bicycles. You will want to check the label on your...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation to Carry 4 Bikes with a 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
  • To carry 4 bikes with your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack I recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7315. This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver opening that has a tongue weight rating of 200 lbs so a lightweight bike rack is your best option. Be sure to check your owner's manual for any weight ratings or restrictions for your vehicle. For a lightweight bike rack that can accommodate 4 bikes I recommend the Yakima RidgeBack # Y02458. This bike rack only weighs 35 lbs and has a weight...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2023 Nissan Murano
  • When looking at the trailer hitches that are confirmed to fit your 2023 Nissan Murano we have two class three hitches that would work for you. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98907 and The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13205 both have a gross towing weight up to 3,500 pounds and a tongue weight up to 350 pounds.

  • Recommended Hitch to Add Cargo Carrier on 2003 Honda Element
  • I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13574 because of the heavy duty powder coating that Curt puts on their hitches, which will help prolong the life of the hitch. This hitch will give you a 2" receiver that is perfect for carrying a cargo basket like the 60x19 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding-500 lbs # C18100, which will fit in the 2" Curt hitch and is a light weight carrier that is perfect for vehicles with low tongue...
