Question:

Which product in the 2 5/16 category for trailer couplers the part receiving the ball has the highest gross tongue weight that you carry? The e trailer The demco or The bulldog Asking because I found many different answers on your website and some products just don’t mention actual tongue weight.

The bolt on couplers are not rated by tongue weight only by gross towing capacity. So long as the coupler is installed to the manufacturer's specifications it will handle the tongue weight of your trailer.

Out of those three manufacturer's, I recommend the Demco Trailer Coupler item # DM14040-97. This coupler has a 21,000 lbs capacity and the EZ-latch mechanism. I really like this coupler because because of the EZ-latch. It makes connecting simple as the latch can be in the closed or open position when you are hooking up to your hitch ball. .

I have linked a review video below.
