Expert Answers about Chevrolet Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler
- Is There a Difference Between A-Frame and Straight Tongue Trailer Couplers
- 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... - What Does 2" or 3" Channel Mean For Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler
- I believe you were referring to in general what does a 2" or 3" channel mean since you didn't reference any specific coupler, but a 2" or 3" channel is simply the width of the your trailer tongue the coupler attaches to.
For example the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # CT-3001-Z fits a 2" wide trailer tongue and the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52 fits a 3" wide trailer tongue.

view full answer... - Replace Trailer Surge Coupler with Straight Coupler on a Trailer With Surge Brakes
- 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...

- 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.

view full answer... - Is There a Trailer Coupler for 50mm Hitch Balls That Can Support Over 5,000 Lbs
- 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.

view full answer... - Recommendation For Straight Tongue Coupler on a Trailer Channel That Measures 3-1/4 Inches Wide
- 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... - Replacement For Cracked Trailer Coupler
- Yes, you need to replace that cracked coupler right away. I'm not sure from the photo what ball size it takes or if you have a straight tongue trailer or A-frame, but get something with a good powder coat or one that is zinc-plated if this is a boat trailer, like the Demco Cast Head Coupler - A-Frame # DM37ZR or Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM13203-95.
I have added links below to our selections of both A-frame and straight tongue couplers.

For a 2-inch ball size you can use 3500-lb coupler # DL13847 or # F222500301 which are both bolt on installation. If you need a coupler for a 1-7/8-inch ball size instead use part # CT-2002-Z which is rated for 2000-lbs. This is also a bolt on item.

- I have a solution that might work for your problem. The Bulldog Cast Head Coupler for 2 Inch Ball, # BDA2005C0317, is an adjustable coupler that can be welded to the end of the trailer tongue. This is the only coupler that may work for your application.
We carry many straight tongue couplers that will work with either a 1-7/8 or 2 inch ball, but we do not have a trailer coupler that can be bolted or welded on a 4 inch channel. The largest application that our straight couplers can fit...

view full answer... - Replacement Coupler Recommendation for a 2-1/2 inch Wide Straight Tongue Trailer
- 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.

- We don't have a confirmed fit for your Fulton Coupler for a repair kit. The Latch Repair Kit # F670801 is the closest option we have and hasn't been tested with straight couplers so I can't confirm it will work.
I recommend instead for a confirmed fit replacing your coupler with the Buyers Products Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler - Auto Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - Bolt On - 15K # 3370091562 which is the closest to your 14K or the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - Zinc - 2-5/16" Ball...

- 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... - How To Install Buyers Products Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler
- Yes, most trailer tongues are boxed so you'd simply use one bolt through both sides of the frame to install a coupler like the Buyers Products Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler part # 3370091560. In this case you would use three bolts, grade five. They'd need to be long enough to go through both sides of the frame, the coupler, and the nut so likely around 4".
