eZ-Latch Coupler
This coupler features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic. Disengaging the coupler is just as effortless. Simply lift up the contoured handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball.
Sturdy, Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Made of sturdy steel, this A-frame coupler features a durable silver powder coat finish that is designed to limit rust and corrosion. This finish has a 500-hour salt spray rating, making the coupler perfect for marine use. The eZ-Latch's sleek, ergonomically designed handle is constructed of a durable composite material that's corrosion-proof, allowing it to withstand whatever the road and the elements dish out.

I purchased this coupler to replace the coupler on my 1997 Featherlite trailer. The coating and the five hole pattern (to match the existing coupler) were my determining factors. I also REALLY wanted to get a coupler with the EZ-Latch setup as I had heard nothing but good things about that type of ball latch system. This coupler worked perfectly for me! I had it bolted on in a matter of minutes and the EZ-Latch system is the only way to go!! 787260

I am very pleased with the online catalog of etrailer, the description of the trailer coupler was very accurate. It is well built and made of heavy steel. I have it installed it and it allows the trailer to follow my truck very true. I was a little apprehensive about the auto connect feature. After a couple of times of hooking the trailer to my truck, I don't think I would change. I purchased the bolt on style for future ease of changing out the coupler if it is ever needed. The only draw back is that all the holes and bolt threads are metric not ASE. I will definitely come back to etrailer in the future. 784455

It’s been a year and I’m having to replace the hitch on my trailer once again. The factory one broke around the ball. This one is cracking beside one of the factory welds. I do put a lot of miles on and the trailer is around 18k loaded. So all in all it’s done it’s job. 567649

Ask the Experts about this Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler
- Is Demco eZ-Latch Coupler as Safe as Slide Lock CouplerThe eZ latch of the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole and Anchors, eZ-Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - 21K # DM16680-52 is absolutely just as safe as a slide lock coupler. It doesn't use a pin but still exceeds the SAE J684 safety standards, which are tests for strength and stability attachment so you can absolutely be confident in this coupler and how secure and safe you will be while towing. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Demco...
view full answer... - Will Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler DM16680-52 Fit 2015 Featherlite 3116 TrailerI checked the Featherlite Trailer website for specs on the model 3116 trailer but this part number returned no results. But if your trailer uses an industry-standard 50-degree a-frame design then the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM16680-52 will fit as a bolt-on replacement. I linked a photo of this coupler to show you the mounting hole spacing.

- Is There a Trailer Coupler Repair Kit for An Atwood Trailer CouplerI do have an option for you but trailer coupler repair kits are model specific and since Atwood has went out of business there are no more trailer coupler repair kits for their couplers. I am afraid the only option for you is to replace the entire couper which I know is not what you want to do but is your only option. I recommend the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # DM16680-52 because of the foolproof eZ-Latch system and the bolt-on installation which means all you need to do is...
view full answer... - How Much Wiggle Room Should There Be In A Trailer CouplerCorrect, there will need to be a small amount of wiggle room or play between the trailer coupler and hitch ball which is to allow the trailer to track and turn smoothly. If the connection point between the trailer coupler and hitch ball was too tight then the trailer would not track or turn correctly. However, if the connection point is too lose then the coupler could become detached from the hitch ball. The vast majority of trailer couplers are not adjustable but there might be a few out...
view full answer... - Can the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler Part DM16680-52 Be LockedYes, you can use the Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98888 to prevent the hitch ball from coming uncoupled from the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # DM16680-52. The lock will install in the pin hole directly below the latch which you can see in the attached photo.

- Size and Type Bolts Required to Install Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler with Hole for Trailer JackTo install the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM16680-52 that you referenced, you will want to use 3/8 inch, grade 5 bolts , approximately 1-1/2 inches long (depending on how you are installing the coupler). You will want to use 5 of these bolts per side for a total of 10 bolts.
view full answer... - Package Contents of Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler with Jack Center Hole # DM16680-52The Demco coupler # DM16680-52 you were looking at does not include the hardware needed for installation. It would be a good idea to switch over from your weld on to a bolt on coupler, this will make it a whole lot easier to replace over time as it wears out as you have stated.
view full answer... - Best Replacement H&H A-Frame Car Hauler 2-5/16" Trailer Couplerlooking at all the options we have for 2-5/16 inch A-Frame Couplers, the one you're looking at # DM16680-52 seems to look the most similar. I don't see any coupler that will be a perfect replacement. The holes on our coupler seem smaller and not in a straight line like your H&H Car Hauler. I'm just on their website checking out a couple pictures. If you're looking for a direct replacement, I would contact H&H for the exact replacement. Ours will fit, but drilling may be required.
view full answer... - A-Frame Trailer Coupler for a 2-5/16 Inch Ball that Can be LockedCoupler repair kits are not always universal. In fact it is less likely that one designed for a certain coupler will fit a different coupler. Without knowing the brand and model coupler you have I cannot guarantee that any of the repair kits will work. I recommend replacing the coupler with a new one such as # DM16680-52. It is a bolt-on A-frame coupler that takes a 2-5/16 inch ball. You can look it with a latch lock, # e98888.
view full answer... - Bolt-on Trailer Coupler to Replace Bulldog # BD028463You could drill into the Bulldog # BD028463 and make it a bolt-on but that's not really ideal. We don't have the exact match in a bolt-on model. We do have part # BD44150WH301 for a bolt-on Bulldog coupler. It has a higher rating but the price tag is quite a bit more. Another option is a Demco coupler. Part # DM16680-52 has even more weight capacity and a nice latch. It fits the same ball size and bolt pattern as well.

- Can Weld-On A-Frame Trailer Coupler be Replaced with a Bolt-On CouplerYes, you can replace your weld-on coupler with a bolt-on. You'll just need to drill the holes. Then, if you wanted to go back to a weld-on later that would be fine too. Just to confirm you can check with the trailer's manufacturer that drilling the holes won't lower the trailer's capacity. Our most popular A-frame couplers are the Demco eZ-Latch. The eZ-Latch makes it easier to hookup and disconnect from your trailer. For a coupler that fits a 2 inch ball use # DM14793-52 and...
