Yes there is a difference between couplers for an a-frame trailer and a straight tongue trailer. They are a very different design so if you have an a-frame trailer you'd need something like the # CA-5210-B which you can see matches the shape of the a-frame or for a straight tongue you'd want the # CT-3002-Z. view full answer...
All of that is not necessary. All you have to do is lock out the surge coupler so it cannot move in and out or disconnect the brake lines.
By removing the old coupler you would have to remove the brake lines any way. A surge coupler can still be used in this manner. If you do a lot of towing though I would still use brakes. By removing the trailer brakes you are putting more stress on the tow vehicle brakes and will have to replace them more often.
But if you want to go with a straight... view full answer...
I do have straight tongue trailer couplers that will work with a 50mm hitch ball and I do have straight tongue trailer couplers that can support 7,000+ lbs. That said, I don't have one that can do both as you are around the max weight for a 50mm hitch ball and could even be over in some cases depending on your exact hitch ball so be sure to check the top. The trailer couplers we offer compatible with 50mm hitch ball like the Titan Trailer Coupler part # T2343400 max out at 5,000 lbs.

We have 2 inch size hitch ball couplers that can fit a 2-1/2 inch wide straight tongue trailer, but none of them have the bolt hole dimensions you are looking for.
Your best option would be to get the # DL13847 and then have a qualified welder install it on your trailer.
I attached a review video and a link to a page that has all of the 2 inch hitch balls we carry. view full answer...
I have a solution for you that would work, but we don't have a traditional-style coupler that will fit over your 4 inch trailer tongue. The straight tongue trailer couplers we offer fit up to 3 inch trailer tongues.
You could use an adjustable channel coupler that will weld to the front of your trailer tongue. For a coupler that fits a 2 inch hitch ball, a great option is the Pro Series Adjustable Channel Coupler with Low Latch # PSA200S0303. This coupler offers an 8,000 pound weight capacity.... view full answer...
I agree, swiss cheese, while delicious, is not something you want your trailer frame to resemble. Too many holes in it could actually compromise the structural integrity of the frame. Take a look at Titan Zinc-Plated Straight-Tongue Coupler, # T4853100. This coupler has the same mounting pattern as current Titan model 10 and 20 actuators. I have included a link to a video review of the coupler for you. view full answer...
I can't say that I recall that type of coupler. We have the EZ Latch style couplers that may be similar to what you want. Like the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler part # DM13203-95 for straight tongues or the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole part # DM14793-81 for A frame trailers.
Buyers also offers the Buyers Products Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler part # 3370091562 in several varieties that have the auto latch.
Both of these types will automatically couple but you need... view full answer...
We do have a nice selection of standard straight tongue couplers available that will work to replace your existing actuator.
If you have a 2 inch channel the etrailer.com Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # CT-3001-Z is a great option that features a sturdy steel construction and a zinc finish to provide corrosion resistance. It is a bolt-on installation. The coupler does have a 3,500 pound weight capacity so you will just need to make sure this matches or exceeds the loaded weight of your... view full answer...
I do have an option but the straight tongue trailer coupler options for a 2-1/2" frame all have a 3" spacing. I recommend using the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler part # CT-3002-Z and just drilling another hole on the frame to match this setup. This would be your only option due to the really odd spacing you said you had. view full answer...
For a coupler designed to fit a 2-1/2 inch straight tongue and a 2 inch hitch ball that is made in America you would want the Trailer Coupler part # DL13847.
Check out the review video I attached for more info.
If you have 2 inch channel instead you would want the part # DL23870.
Not all of our couplers are made in America, but the Dutton Lainson ones are. view full answer...
The Titan Zinc-Plated Straight-Tongue Coupler # T4853100 that you referenced weighs 14 lbs and has a 21,000 lb total trailer weight capacity. view full answer...
I have just what you need. The Trailer Coupler 1-7/8" Ball 3" Channel Tongue part # DL13728 which you could add the Trailer Coupler Grip Handle by Dutton-Lainson part # DL13350 to in order to help maneuver the trailer. I am not aware of any one piece coupler/handle combo but the above will work perfectly for you. view full answer...
The difference is the trailer tongue size the coupler was designed to fit. The part # DX29FR is designed to fit a 3 inch by 4 inch straight tongue whereas the part # DX56FR is designed to fit a 3 inch by 5 inch straight tongue. Aside from that they are both 7,500 lb trailer coupler actuators with a 7,500 lb capacity designed for 2 inch hitch balls. view full answer...
The 2-5/16 inch straight tongue couplers are going to fit a 3 inch channel. Your best bet is still removal of the ball on the truck. My recommendation is a whole lot of penetrating oil and a sledge hammer. You won't have to whack it very hard but the lateral force will help free it up.
The only other option is to use a channel such as # BDAC3000300. Weld it to the front of the trailer and then use a channel coupler, # PSA256S0303, which will couple to a 2-5/16 inch ball. I have linked... view full answer...

The straight tongue couplers like the Dutton-Lainson 3-Inch Trailer Coupler, part # DL13897 are available for trailer tongues with either a 2-inch, 2-1/2-inch, or 3-inch channel. I would recommend for you to measure the trailer channel at a point where you are not measuring the coupler and see if it measures 3 inches wide. If you are measuring the width of the trailer channel including the coupler it will normally measure larger than 3 inches.
If the measurement of the trailer tongue,... view full answer...
I recommend the Titan LeverLock Coupler # T4845000. This is an adjustable coupler that will work with 1-7/8 inch, 2-inch and 50-mm balls. This coupler is a bolt-on and has a 5,000-lb capacity.
For a coupler that uses a handwheel to tighten the coupler around a hitch ball I recommend part # T2343400183. This coupler will also work with 1-7/8 inch, 2-inch and 50-mm balls, and is a bolt-on installation with a 5,000-lb capacity. view full answer...
The Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # 336TS508 does not come with install bolts. The bolt holes are 1/2 inch in diameter so I would recommend Grade 8 bolts with that diameter and the length that fits your trailer the best. Most likely 4 inch in length would be best. view full answer...
You will want to use a coupler made to fit on a round tube rather than a square one. We have several options such as # BD028242 or # BD028383. However, these couplers do not have an exact 2 inch measurement so you may need to have some fabrication done and weld the couplers on. This work should be done by a qualified professional welder.
Coupler # BD028242 has an outer diameter of 2-1/4 inches and a 1-3/4 inch inner diameter.
Coupler # BD028383, which would fit around a pipe, has a 3-1/2... view full answer...
