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 handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball.
The contoured, low-profile design of the latch handle helps protect the coupler from damage by allowing any potential hazards - from debris on the road to your ball mount backing into the coupler - to simply slide over the top. This helps prevent anything from getting under the latch handle and releasing the ball, and it can also limit any damage to the coupler should an impact occur
Unlike most couplers, which have a pin hole on the handle latch, the eZ-Latch coupler features a hole on the side of the coupler itself. Inserting a coupler lock through this hole will keep the latch from lifting, preventing disconnect and theft.
Sturdy, Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Made of sturdy steel, this coupler features a durable black 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 an impact-resistant polymer-nylon-resin compound that provides the flexibility and strength needed to bounce back from a collision. The handle is corrosion-proof, allowing it to withstand whatever the road and the elements dish out.

This item was on backorder, but they kept me up to date on the status and once etrailer received the item it was shipped immediately, along with a proper tracking number. I have made other purchases and etrailer has a great selection and customer service. This new ball couple is far superior in function compared to my old one-great addition to my trailer.
by: Diesel Hogs Corp02/18/2021
This coupler is awesome!! works great. locks up easy and is well built. I was skeptic with the plastic handle it has for the ball release, but so far it has been holding up. only time will tell if the plastic will get brittle from the power of the sun.
by: Jamar12/22/2017
i had a deck over trailer that rode way too high making the the trailer ass heavy and caused it to sway. I removed the old one and welded this one on and now the trailer rides level and pulls amazing. The quick hookup feature on this is a must have as the ball seats perfectly every time. Great product and will definitely be getting another for my other trailer as it's coupler wears.

Great for a custom trailer and stout! I wasn't sure how I would like the new (well, new to me anyway) ball clamp design, but I love it and all my future trailer builds will have it.

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
Very good quality, construction, and finish. This was used to replace a 5000# rated coupler on my RV trailer that was just not strong enough. It has an extra 2-3" of length than the old coupler so make sure your safety chains have enough length to accommodate the extra length. One bonus for me was that the extra length was just enough to allow me to open the back door of my SUV with the trailer hitched (which I couldn't do before). The DEMCO coupler does take a 2 1/2" wide hitch pin /lock which is different than most couplers.

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
My order shipped quickly and showed up in good time. The coupler looks good, but i was disappointed in the gross tongue weight of 10% of total Gross trailer weight. This was not advertised in the details online. I was expecting a 20% tongue weight. If there is another coupler with a 4k/21k rating id appreciate a link.
Comments
I checked and we do not have an adjustable coupler that has a higher TW capacity.

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
Hitch works great, almost no chance of user error, very positive coupling with min. play on the ball. Zinc plate is thick and uniform. No chance to damage the paw it's very robust.
I did have to drill the lock pin holes with 8mm bit because a 5/16" hasp on the lock was to tight.

The coupler came quickly and fit perfectly. So much better than the original.
I will make sure all my trailer business will go to etrailer.

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
Installed this AWESOME hitch on my 20 ft equipment trailer after I upgraded to 8k axles. This hitch is a beast. I love the no touch when hooking up. Just lower the trailer down and it makes a positive lock sound. I welded the hitch to a 1/2 inch thick plate. Welded the plate onto the trailer and used my own gussets instead of the supplied ones. You won’t go wrong with this hitch!

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
I decided I wanted to renew my Dad's old trailer. Starting with a trailer coupler upgrade to the adjustable "eZ-Latch". Thanks to etrailer it was an easy, convenient one stop shop and I couldn't be more pleased with the products and service. When it comes time to do the running gear and tires, etrailer will be my source.
Thank you!

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
Replacing a sloppy 21K pintle with this hitch, pintle came with a trailer I bought used so this will be a quiet replacement to pair with my B&W Tri-ball I bought a couple years ago with etrailer.

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
I don’t really want to write a review, hope someone will really read this.the main reason I ordered a bolt on coupling is so I would not have to weld, but I’m gonna have to even add 2in.to my trailer to make all the holes match. I would have returned it but your return policy says I would have to pay shipping ugg!!. I’m already in for 140.00 bucks now I have to pay and end up with nothing but lost of money for nothing. I’m 74 years old and did not want to weld , that was my only reason for ordering your coupling .the thing had some scratches and marks on it like it had already been a return, don’t think it was done during shipping, although it was put in a fairly large box with flimsy paper packing, so I’m going to have to make it work,even have to weld and everything. Now I’m having to waste time writing all of this , and it’s not going to even make any difference anyway. I think y’all owe me some kind of discount for all my troubles I was trying to avoid anyway, but I’m sure that is not going to happen either. GOD BLESS THOMAS OLIVER

You mentioned that you needed to add 2 inches to your trailer to install the trailer and I wanted to see if you could explain in more detail what you mean. Would you be able to send pictures?

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
Very solid hitch. Fast shipping. Fits well except your trailer channels need to nearly come to a point for the first set of holes to have anything to bolt to. Mine did not, so I am having it welded on as well. No paperwork or hardware with this package, but the video will answer most all questions.
Comments
Excellent - it’s stronger than the trailer. Weak point is the plastic lever. If I’m unhitching on an incline it won’t release. I would break it.

Best coupler I've ever used! Very impressed and will be swapping out on another trailer that also has a finicky coupler latch.

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
When my old coupler failed I was very happy to find a bolt on coupler this heavy as most are weld on for a trailer this heavy. I wish I would have changed the coupler years ago. I always had trouble with the old one. This one is so easy to latch and unlatch from my truck. It is great quality.

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
love these couplers ! they are the best and are easy to open up and when they are pulled up you know it is disconnected !! the best !
I was a little disappointed when I opened the box yesterday and found that there was no keeper pin with the couplers now I have to go to town and find the right size ! I was thinking it would come with one ! should have a option to buy the correct one or just send one with !! thanks

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
I like the 4 bolt system rather than the 2 bolt system because it "mates" the two metal surfaces together better than 2 long bolt design. The way in which its tightened is better. Plus if you have 1 of 4 bolts break you can still safety tow it. If 1 of 2 bolts break you're flirting with disaster. 21k coupler on a 10k trailer. Heavier and better design than my original Made in China coupler.

- Does the Demco Trailer Coupler w/ 5-Position Adjustable Channel Come with ReinforcementsThe Demco Trailer Coupler w/ 5-Position Adjustable Channel part # DM612466-81 is designed to be welded directly to the trailer as you know. With the different type of applications this is intended to fit they do not provide gussets or other reinforcements. You will want to create you own that will match up with your trailer frame thickness and the height of the coupler.
view full answer... - Can The Capacity Of An Axle Be Determined By Looking At The Hubs?Though it is sometimes possible to identify an axle's capacity based of the hub, it is not always 100% accurate. Due to this, I tell people to not rely on just this alone. As a quick example, if you look at the Dexter Hub # 8-259-50BTUC1 and # 8-259-50UC1-EZ, they will both use the exact same 8-259 hub. However, the # 8-259-50BTUC1 will use the # L44643 inner and outer bearing and is rated for use on a 2,000 pound axle. The # 8-259-50UC1-EZ will use the # L44649 inner and outer bearing...
