Video Transcript for All About the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ Pin

Today were going to take a quick look at the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler with Pin part number BD028242. Bulldog covers this coupler with a limited 5-year warranty. It has a gross trailer capacity of 5,000 lbs. and a tongue capacity of 750 lbs. Its a weld-on style coupler that you can weld directly to the frame of your trailer. Its a round tube set up and the round tube has a 2-1/4 inch outer diameter and a 1-3/4 inch inner diameter.

Its designed to be used with 2-inch trailer balls. The coupler has an overall length of about 10-3/4 inches. Now well show you how this system works. This collar has to slide back to release the jaws on the head of the coupler. With this pin in the way the collar cant slide back far enough to allow the jaws to release and open all the way up.

Well unhook our pin and then slide it out. Now the pin is on a lanyard here attached to the collar just so you dont lose it. Now we take our coupler, slide the collar back, the jaw comes open. Well show you how it works. We have a 2-inch trailer ball here.

Youll fit the coupler over your ball while holding the coupler back you can let the jaw close around the ball. This wrap around design gives good even contact all the way with the ball to make tracking the trailer behind your vehicle nice and easy. Well take another look at how it works, well slide the collar back and the jaw will release and you can remove the coupler from the trailer ball. Once you have the coupler secured around the ball all you have to do is take the pin, reinsert it through the coupler and secure it with its clip on the other side. And thats it for our quick look at the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler with Pin part number BD028242..

Found what I was looking for, thanks again .

The hitch looks well made..... have not yet installed on the trailer.
The people of etrailer were very helpful....provided quick and easy service



by:

I haven't had the chance to get it welded on yet, so I fill focus on the order/shipping. First, I have been a satisfied E-Trailer customer since 2007. They have always had the best price/shipping and delivered on time or ahead of schedule. That is until now. I placed the order for this June 16th and due to the manufacturers back order it was delayed 5 times until the first week of August.
Now to my gripes. 1) It would have been helpful if the webpage showed current stock/shipping estimate BEFORE I ordered.
2) The price changed in the 6 weeks before shipping however, I don't understand why the prices I commited to weren't honored at time of fulfillment. It was NOT my fault it took 6 weeks to ship, why did I get charged the new higher prices? It seems at the very least the original pricing should have been honored in an effort to make up for the long delay.



by:

Good product, good price.



by:

Products are as advertised. Metal and castings are good quality. Units handled prep and welding nicely.

Only two minor points of annoyance.

One of the spring retainers arrived broken at the clip end. A spot of delicate mig welding re-assembled it.

The paint on all four units was thick enough to inhibit both the lock pin holes and the ball cup pivot actions. A bit of rat tail file work and some oil rectified both.



by:

This is exactly what I wanted. I have use a smaller version of this on another trailer I built in 1980 it still works great. So I knew what I wanted when I began looking for a heavier duty one. I wish I already had it mounted so I could upload a picture of it in use. I say that because I make it removable, I have been using the other one I have on both my trailers but that means I have to make two trips rather than having a buddy pull one of them. But doing it this way makes it hard for someone to steal my trailers. I always have good luck buying from www.etrailer.com



by:

Very well made and it welded on nicely. Solid product.



by:

Great place to deal with. Thank you guys for your service!!!!



by:

This coupler was not only a replacement part but an upgrade over the OEM coupler on this trailer!



by:

Best decision ever to use a bulldog hit ch!



by:

WOW. A company that apparently really cares. "Just what I wanted" was my husbands remark about the hitch receiver. He could not been happier with the purchase as well as the attention shown him through emails. The shipping time was super, especially as we ordered it during Christmas rush. Thank you. I know you will be his "go to place" and has already told several people about you.

been a year and husband still tells people what a great place to shop. Clearly living up to his expectations and that says A LOT!



by:

I had ordered three items from trailer and all arrived on time, in good condition and in one box. The coupler is well made and the trailer and coupler are at the welding shop. Since I have to store my trailer in a location several miles from my home ,the only addition I will make to the coupler will be a lock.

  • Trailer Coupler Recommendation for a Round 2 Inch Diameter Straight Tongue
    You will want to use a coupler made to fit on a round tube rather than a square one. We have several options such as # BD028242 or # BD028383. However, these couplers do not have an exact 2 inch measurement so you may need to have some fabrication done and weld the couplers on. This work should be done by a qualified professional welder. Coupler # BD028242 has an outer diameter of 2-1/4 inches and a 1-3/4 inch inner diameter. Coupler # BD028383, which would fit around a pipe, has a 3-1/2...
