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.
