Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - Trigger Latch - Zinc - 2" Ball - Bolt On - 3,500 lbs
I put this Coupler on a 2021 INTECH FLYER PURSUE CAMPER. The camper weighs only 1500lbs. On the first trip we headed to Maine from Massachusetts. Outside of Portland Me. we went over a small bump in the road were they were repaving the highway and the trailer came off of the ball. I pulled off the highway and and looked at the damage. All my electronic connectors were ripped off the camper when the tongue hit the pavement and it also bent the Fulton swivel jack. The Coupler was still in the locked position. I could not believe the damage. I put the trailer back on the ball and attached it with ratchet straps. We made it a few miles to a NAPA parts store. Thank God I had a tool box with me. We replace the coupler with a HEAVY DUTY Coupler from NAPA along with the electric connectors. Two hours later I was Back on the road. Before I install the new Coupler I compared it with the E Trailer one. They were night and day. DO NOT BUY THIS CHEAP COUPLER.
Great coupler. I swapped out the welded 1-7/8" (ball) coupler on the boat trailer my dad gave me as it was rusted and the latch needed to be replaced, and I already had a 2" ball mount. I considered buying a new ball mount with 1-7/8" ball for $30, but this just made more sense considering the poor condition of the original coupler and the simplification of only needing a 2" ball mount (standard size when renting U-Haul trailers for hauling landscaping dirt and rocks. Removing the welded coupler wasn't too difficult with a cutoff blade and grinding blade. Drilling the 1/2" holes took as long as cutting off the welded coupler. A definite upgrade for a better looking trailer and simplification of only needing one 2" ball mount.

Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler for 2" Receivers - Trailer Side - 2" Ball
So paint comes of the lock/unlock mechanism pretty much immediately. The connecting of the hitch to the ball is pretty simple but must take into consideration some of the slope differentiated by the pivot of the hitch when disconnecting. I would say overall its a pretty good product but for those things and that is just connecting and disconnecting to get used to it. Not sure what is what until I actually use it.
Well........it broke, turns out the locking ring is made out of pot metal the 5th time I unhooked from the tow vehicle the locking ring broke apart. definitely not going to buy this again. If it had broke while driving it would have come off the hitch.
