Specs:
This coupler combines with a Lock 'N' Roll vehicle-end hitch (sold separately) to create a safe, secure, fully articulating connection that's great for towing whether you're on the road or off-road. It's more secure than a traditional ball coupler, and it's more comfortable and quieter than a pintle setup. The Lock 'N' Roll connects quickly and easily, and can adapt to any towing conditions.
When using a traditional ball coupler, it can be hard to tell if the coupler is fully latched around the ball. You can head out assuming the connection is secure, only to have the trailer pop off of the ball and disconnect while you're towing. With the Lock 'N' Roll, that won't happen.
This unique coupler is designed to interlock with a matching vehicle-side hitch to form a tight, secure connection. Unlike on a ball coupler, the latching components on the Lock 'N' Roll system are easy to see, so you can tell at a glance if the connection is secure.
Once secure, the Lock 'N' Roll setup offers a wide range of motion, which makes for a smooth ride. Because of the articulating action of the combined coupler and hitch, the Lock 'N' Roll connection can handle the harsh bumps and road shock that could otherwise stress and potentially damage a ball coupler.
The Lock 'N' Roll connection also makes your trailer less vulnerable to theft. Unlike a traditional ball coupler, which is compatible with any hitch ball of a matching size, the trailer-side Lock 'N' Roll coupler can only connect to a vehicle-side Lock 'N' Roll hitch. So your trailer cannot be towed away unless it's connected to a vehicle with a Lock 'N' Roll hitch installed.
With the Lock 'N' Roll, you can have peace of mind knowing your connection will not come apart or succumb to damage caused by road, nor will your trailer be vulnerable to theft.
The pintle hitch connection is the most common setup when towing off road because of the flexibility in the connection. But that flexible connection can also result in a lot of slop. This can cause uncomfortable jerking as well as rattle and noise. In addition, when using a pintle/lunette ring setup, it can be difficult to back up your vehicle and trailer without jackknifing. And it can be hard to disconnect at certain angles, which may be a necessity when overlanding.
The Lock 'N' Roll assembly, on the other hand, offers a close-fit, slop-free connection that's designed for off-roading. This close-fitting design provides a smoother ride than a pintle/lunette ring connection with less rattle. It also makes it easy to back your vehicle and trailer up without jackknifing.
With the trailer end and vehicle end combined, the Lock 'N' Roll setup also creates a fully articulating connection that's great for off-roading. The bearing that's built into the vehicle-end hitch allows for 360 degrees of rotation, which means that your trailer could actually roll all the way over and not take your vehicle with it. The connection also pivots side to side and up and down, making it easy to take rough trails without jarring your setup. This also allows for fast and easy disconnection, even at extreme angles.
Each Lock 'N' Roll setup requires 2 parts - a trailer end and a vehicle end. Together they create a strong, secure connection. To connect, just line up the trailer end and vehicle end together and place the outer metal tabs of the trailer-end coupler into the hooks on the vehicle-end hitch. Then fold the latching plates on the vehicle-end hitch down and secure them in place over the tabs using the pin and clip included with your vehicle-side hitch. With the latching plates secured, the Lock 'N' Roll assembly will stay firmly connected.
When the trailer-side coupler and vehicle-side hitch are secured together, they form an articulating assembly with 3 axes of directional motion. The uniquely designed bearing on the vehicle-side hitch allows the connection to rotate a full 360 degrees. The trailer-side coupler's hinge allows the connection to pivot to the left and to the right. And when the 2 sides are joined, the tabs will roll inside of the hooks so that the entire assembly can tilt up and down.
Towing with the Lock 'N' Roll is easy, and it gives you a connection that's both flexible and secure.

Hi, everyone, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking together at this Lock-N-Roll Articulating Coupler. It's considered an A-frame coupler and it has a built-in jack hole with a bolt-on trailer side application. Now, folks, this A-frame trailer coupler links with the Lock-N Roll Vehicle Side Hitch that's gonna be sold separately and that would hook up to your trailer to the towed vehicle using this and that vehicle side hitch. Now, I'll throw up an image of what the other end of this hitch looks like. So, as you can see, you can pivot up, left, right, up, down, 360.
Virtually limitless, so that's what's so sweet about this Lock-N-Roll Coupler. So, no more worrying about, you know, "Oh, I gotta be at a right angle", or "I'm going over something really steep terrain and I'm gonna have some bad pinch points and those kind of things." This will actually give you a more secure connection than your traditional hitch ball as well. Now, the outer tabs here, they are gonna interlock with the vehicle side hitch to form a strong connection, and as you can see, this can articulate all the way side to side very, very smoothly, and once this is inside the other end, then it can also pivot up or down and side to side at the same time as needed, so pretty impressive. The full articulation when paired with the vehicle side hitch will give you 360 degree of pivot here, so very impressive. It is a tight interlocked connection, so it's gonna create smoother, quieter ride than the pintle hitches and regular ball hitches as well.
Now, it's a close-fit connection, so you shouldn't be hearing any rattling noise or jerky noises or anything. Super fast, easy hookup and disconnect, and it's just a very nice, heavy-duty construction, and it's gonna be really durable. So, it's got a nice black powder-coat finish. As I mentioned before, you've got the jack hole cutout and the three elongated holes for mounting that jack. (coupler clunking) Flipping it over, you can kinda see the underside.
Again, you're gonna be bolting this to the side of, or onto the trailer side of the connection. The maximum gross trailer weight that this is rated for is 11,000 pounds, with a maximum tongue weight of 1,100 pounds. This jack hole diameters our standard 2 5/16-inch. And that's gonna wrap it up for our look together today, folks. So, I wanna remind you with all of our products here at etrailer.com, feel free please to send us videos, pictures, how you're using it, what you like, what you don't like even so we can get some stuff updated if we need to, and just make everything as nice as we possibly can for you.
