Specs:
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.

Today we'll be reviewing part number DM12563. This is the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler with the eZ-Latch mechanism. The channel tongue coupler is going to let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. It's going to provide a really nice connection point for your 2" hitch ball. It's made from a heavy-duty steel construction with a nice primed finish. You can see here that this is going to be a weld-on installation.
It is designed for a 2" ball with a weight capacity of 10,000 lbs. That's the weight capacity of the coupler's going to provide. If we take a measurement of the channel width measuring from inside-to-inside, that's going to give us a measurement of right at 3". The overall length of our coupler measuring from end-to-end is going to give us a measurement of right around 14". Now, it does have the eZ-Latch mechanism that's going to ensure a nice simple, secure hookup and disconnect. The great advantage of the eZ-Latch mechanisms is that it's going to let you hook up when the latch is in a closed position.
All you have to do is drop the coupler over the hitch ball and the latch will snap into place. I have our 2" hitch ball here for demonstration. If you need a hitch ball you can find those right here at etrailer.com. I'm going to fit it in to the coupler. Push it all the way in. It's going to snap into place.
This coupler is also going to feature a hole right here, that's to install a pin or a coupler pin and lock. A nice way to tell if the ball is seated correctly or fully engaged inside the coupler is to make sure that those holes are in line with one another and that the latch is sitting horizontally. If the latch is at an angle or those holes don't line up with one another, then the hitch ball probably is not connected all the way as it should be, so you want to disengage from the ball and reconnect. To disengage from the hitch ball, all you got to do is lift up on the lever and it's going to release the ball from the coupler. That's going to do it for today's review of part number DM12563. This is the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler. .

I had a hard time finding a 3 inch channel coupler (2 inch ball) that could handle 7500lbs+, for which my trailer was rated. I tried local spots, like my local trailer supply. none had any over 5,000lbs. I found this gem that can handle 10k!
Thank you for quick shipping as always. Happy repeat customer. Thank you etrailer!
