Hitch Ball with 1-7/8
Question:
Hello Is it me, or is there something different about this coupler repair kit Item # CT-2001-Z and the OEM carry On Trailer 1 7/8? When open, the Item # CT-2001-Z doesnt provide enough space fro the ball to enter the coupler. I have installed according to the video and instructions Thanks

As long as the hitch ball that you install on your tow vehicle is 1-7/8" in diameter then the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # CT-2001-Z that you referenced will work just fine.
I went out to the warehouse and compared it with the Draw-Tite 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256 and it all fit just fine. You will want to make sure that you completely open the latch on the coupler to ensure that there is enough space for the hitch ball to insert into the trailer coupler.
