Since the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of your trailer is over 5,000 pounds, you will first need to choose a coupler hinge kit that matches or exceeds this capacity. Then to choose the correct fit, you will want to take a quick measurement on your existing coupler.

For example, the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB350101 is rated for up to 9,000 pounds and is designed for 3 inch x 5 inch trailer tongues. The kit will let you create up to a 48 inch foldaway tongue and it uses a bolt-on installation.

I have attached a link that will take you to our available selection of coupler hinge kits that you can look through.
