Backing up a loaded trailer can be tricky when the brakes want to grab. The manual lockout on this actuator solves that by letting you deactivate the brakes with a simple lever. Once locked out, the coupler won’t trigger your brakes as you reverse up an incline or into a tight spot. When you’re ready to move forward again, just disengage it and go. No extra parts or free-backing brakes needed—it works smoothly with both uni-servo and duo-servo drum brakes.
This surge-type actuator synchronizes your trailer’s drum brakes with your tow vehicle’s brakes for consistent, reliable stopping. As you slow down, the actuator telescopes and applies hydraulic pressure through its master cylinder to engage the trailer brakes. The 7,500-lb capacity and 750-lb maximum tongue weight rating make it a dependable choice for work or recreation trailers that see regular use.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the bolt-on design made for a 3" wide channel tongue. With an inside width of 3-1/8" and outside width of 3-1/2", it fits snugly on common 3” x 3”, 3” x 4”, or 3” x 5” trailer tongues. The mounting holes are spaced at standard industry dimensions—3" apart on center horizontally and 2-3/4" apart vertically—so it bolts right up without guesswork or fabrication.
A built-in breakaway kit adds an extra layer of safety in case the trailer ever separates from the tow vehicle. The system automatically engages the brakes if a disconnect occurs, helping bring the trailer to a stop instead of letting it roll away uncontrolled. It’s one of those features you hope to never need but feel better knowing it’s there.

Better than i could imagine. I have hauled my boat all over the valley over the last year and the least of my worries is hooking up the trailer and unhooking after a fishing trip. This coupler is flawless. The use of a surge brake lockout key is a good idea when backing up. All in all I would highly recommend this coupler.
