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 am happy with how fast it was delivered. But the packing worried me. The small plastic lights were just tossed into the box along with the very heavy trailer hitch. The edge of the box was torn. The heavy metal hitch could have very easily crushed the plastic items. Maybe those could have been placed inside a rolled up paper bag.
But lucking out there was no breakage.
I will review after I install. But I like it. The led light wires are big enough to splice onto other wires.
Consider me happy

I had to grind the coupler off of our 1970 Airstream to install this unit. Took 1/2 day to grind off the coupler and smooth off the welds. I ended up using three 3/8" drill bits to drill the 10 holes required for the Demco coupler. It also required that I elongate the jack stand holes as the top and bottom shelf holes where not exactly lined up perpendicular so the jack sat at a slight angle. I only had to elongate both holes about 1/8". I used a sabre saw with a very good blade and cut a very neat edge. It was a 2 day job doing it in my driveway at my pace and wasn't really difficult. It did require perseverance but the end result is worth it. Nice coupler and it feels secure.

I love this trailer tongue. No more guessing if the cup is sitting tightly over the ball, just lower the trailer and it automatically slides into place. Great idea.

Was looking for a stainless coupler for my aluminum car hauler. Never could find one, so I tried this powder coated one from Demco. It has worked very well. Pleased with how it has held up being stored outside. Still looks like the day I installed it. Awesome product!
by: Karl 08/03/2022
Like that you can put the latch down before coupling to hitch.
by: Wade04/28/2020
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!!
by: Ken 07/25/2021
Beefy! Excellently what I was looking for! Fit was spot-on; lined up perfectly with original coupler. EZ-Latch works as advertised. Outstanding service from etrailer
by: Richard 04/22/2020
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.

You guys were great in processing my order and shipping it out to me in a timely manner.BUT..do to my fault I chose the wrong one..its to heavy for my jeep. I need to order the coupler but with 2 inch ball hitch.I'm going to call tomorrow to order another one
by: Jeremy 09/22/2018
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.

Its is bending up where the tongue jack is mounted so I'm really not that happy with it week metal i guess

See what our Experts say about this Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler
- Can Demco A-Frame Coupler with 21k Capacity be Used on 31 ft AirstreamYes, the Demco coupler part # DM16680-52 is safe to use on a 31 foot air stream trailer like you have. Bolting on and welding on coupler is both perfectly safe to do. I would agree bolt on is easier in a sense but if you have a welder that route would be pretty easy too.
view full answer... - Would Could Fix Excess Coupler Play with Demco EZ Latch CouplerThe play you are feeling/hearing is most likely between the hitch ball and the latch of the coupler. If you look under the coupler you can see an adjustment bolt that uses an Allen wrench that will allow you to tighten the latch and get rid of the excess movement. Now that said, the part # D16680-52 is the correct replacement for what you have currently.

- Will Demco EZ Coupler Fit 2017 Winnebago Micro Minnie 2106DS with Andersen Weight DistributionThe Demco EZ coupler part # DM16680-52 would work great on your 2017 Winnebago Micro Minnie 2106DS and will work just fine with your Andersen weight distribution system.
view full answer... - Will the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler Fit an ATC TrailerThe Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # DM16680-52 will fit any trailer with a standard 50 degree a-frame which is almost all a-frame trailers on the market today. Therefore, yes, the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler will fit an ATC trailer. You'll simply need to mount the coupler, use the holes as a template to drill your own, and then you can continue bolting on as normal.

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 50-Degree...
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... - Does Demco Trailer Coupler # DM16680-52 Fit 2007 ATC Car HaulerYes the Demco 50-degree A-frame coupler part # DM16680-52 does fit the standard a-frame of your 2007 ATC car hauler.
view full answer... - Tongue Weight Capacity Of The Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM16680-52The tongue weight capacity of the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole and Anchors, eZ-Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - 21K # DM16680-52 would be 10% of its 21,000lb gross towing capacity, which would be 2,100lbs.
view full answer... - 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 for...
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.

- 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... - 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.

It features a bolt-on install, easy couple design, and can be painted to match the frame.
view full answer... - Trailer Coupler Repair Kit for Coleman Bayside Popup CamperI do have an option for you but the most realistic solution would be to replace the entire coupler which I know is not ideal since they are welded-on. That said, coupler repair kits are not universal and although I don't know which exact coupler you have on your trailer, it's very likely to be discontinued which means the odds of there being a trailer coupler repair kit compatible are very low. They do not offer trailer coupler repair kits for all trailer couplers, even the newer couplers....

view full answer... - Will The Blaylock BLTL-34 Fit A Demco Coupler?I am not sure exactly what Demco coupler you are referring to. The Blaylock # BLTL-34 will work with most 2-5/16" ball couplers with a flat or rolled lip, less than 4-1/2" wide. A good example of a compatible Demco coupler is the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM16680-52.
view full answer... - 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 remove...
view full answer... - Is There a Repair Kit for a 2-5/16" Trailer CouplerI don't think anyone really wants to replace their coupler when the latching mechanism is bad or worn but, it's unfortunately a must since they don't make universal trailer coupler repair kits. There are trailer coupler repair kits available but, they are for very specific couplers which is not likely one you have. That said, we do have bolt-on options so you don't need to worry about finding a welder, you'll just need to cut/grind the old one off. I recommend the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame...

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...

Therefore, unless you have the exact coupler said repair kit is designed for (highly unlikely), it's not going to work and the coupler needs to be replaced. For this, we do have a great option for you though that won't require any welding making it capable...

view full answer... - Which Is Better a Cast Steel or Stamped Steel CouplerBoth styles of Demco couplers are going to hold up well but in general cast steel is considered to be better due to it's uniform and more consistent structure it provides. Stamped steel is typically considered a more cost effective solution due to lower production costs and quicker lead times. With that said the # 12660-97SP is cast and has a 21k capacity.

This Demco coupler has been great. It locks in very secure and feels like a very robust unit. Glad I took the time to install it. It has been better than the factory Airstream coupler.
