Dutton-Lainson Trailer Coupler - DL13897

Trailer Coupler 2" Ball 3" Channel Tongue (5,000 lbs.)

A key element of easy hitching, unhitching and safe trailer towing is a strong and efficiently operating coupler system, properly installed on the tongue of the trailer. D-L couplers offer an exclusive Quick-Lock ball clamp assembly that can be adjusted without wrenches. This feature provides a precise fit on the hitch ball while the trigger action release allows fast locking and unlocking. The lock lever is held securely closed by cam action and the safety latch.

  • Adjustable lock ball clamp
  • Pin and clip
  • Fits 3" tongue
  • Capacity: 5,000 lbs.
  • Zinc TUFFPLATE finish
    • Zinc plated yellow chromate TUFFPLATE finish has three times the corrosion resistance of standard zinc plated trivalent chrome process and 30 percent greater corrosion resistance when compared to powder coated finish. Results of lab test using 5 percent neutral salt spray confirms our TUFFPLATE finish provides in excess of 500 hours against First Red Rust and in excess of 100 hours of First White Corrosion.
  • Distance between the mounting holes on the side measures 3" from center to center
  • Made in the USA

Video Transcript for Dutton-Lainson Trailer Coupler DL13897 Review

Today we're going to review part number DL13897, the Dutton Lainson Trailer Coupler for a 2" Hitch Ball that will fit on a 3" Channel Tongue. This trailer coupler is a trigger latch hitched design, which will latch on to a 2" hitch ball. It is a bolt-on coupler, designed for a 3" channel tongue. This coupler does have a weight capacity of 5,000 pounds. A few measurements we will do on this coupler. For the channel coupler it would be 3".

Another measurement would be for the distance between the mounting holes on the side, and these would measure 3" center-to-center. This coupler has a zinc TUFFPLATE finish, which gives you three times the corrosion resistance on a standard zinc plate finish. This coupler is made in the U.S.A. And that should do it for part number DL13897, the Dutton-Lainson Trailer Coupler for a 2" Hitch Ball on a 3" Channel Tongue.

  • 5000lb Trailer Coupler Recommendations for Hydra-Sport 22 Cubby Cab Boat That is 4500lbs

The current coupler on your trailer is unsafe to use, and I would strongly recommend that you do not haul your boat on that trailer until you replace the coupler

  • Recommendation For Straight Tongue Coupler on a Trailer Channel That Measures 3-1/4 Inches Wide
