Video Transcript for Fulton Trailer Coupler F44305R0317 Review

Today we're going to take a quick look at the Fulton A Frame Coupler for 2-5/16 balls, part number F44305r0317. Now Fulton covers this coupler with a limited three year warranty that has a gross trailer weight capacity of 10,000 pounds and it's designed to use 2-5/16 balls. It's a well done style coupler designed to work with 50 degree A frame trailers and you'll just weld the coupler along its edges to your trailer. It's got the mount for a standard A frame trailer jack with a large round hole for the body of the jack and three threaded holes for the bolts to secure it. It's finished in a gray paint and it uses a trigger latch system. We'll pull up on the trigger below the handle and then open the latch to free the ball underneath.

There's a hole through our latch system that we can use the coupler lock to secure the latch and make sure it doesn't come open when pulling a trailer down the road, as well as prevent theft while having your trailer stored. When we open the latch, the hole in our handle also lines up with a couple of holes on the top of our mount so we can insert our pin and it will hold the latch open for us. Now we'll take a look at the system underneath. Underneath you'll see that there's a wedge here that slides down and forward onto the back of the ball when we secure it. We'll pull up our trigger, open our latch, and the wedge moves up and away from the ball.

Now we've got a 2-5/16 ball with us, so we'll show you how it works with an actual trailer ball. We've got our coupler open, fit our ball into place, as we let the latch close, the wedge comes down securing our ball. It allows free movement so the trailer will track nicely behind the truck, but it's also captive and it won't let the ball come out. Again, we'll pull up our trigger, pull up our latch, the wedge moves back and we can remove our ball. That's it for a look at the Fulton A Frame Coupler for 2-5/16 balls, part number F44305r0317..
