Video Transcript for Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ High-Profile Latch: The Breakdown

Hello neighbors, I'm Steve with etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at this Bulldog Collar Lock Coupler with a high profile latch if it's a 2" ball and a 3-1/2" round trailer tongue. And this guy is rated at 5,000 pounds capacity. It is a nice heavy duty coupler. It's gonna be ideal for utility, livestock, cargo, and construction trailers. It's got a nice integrated collar lock design, as they call it, and it's gonna offer automatic, continuously tight fitting for absolute security.

And it also has a hinge ball socket to make hook up a snap. Now everything here is high strength durable steel. It's been powder coated. You can paint it whatever color you want. Now it is a weld-on application and it has a nice high profile latch for ease of use.

And again, whenever everything is closed here or open, you're gonna get a nice visual indication of both of those open and closed procedures. Now again, it is a round straight tongue mount design, and I wanna go ahead and show you how this operates. I'm gonna pull a ball out of the bottom here. Again, this ball is not included. This is just for demonstration only.

So you'll simply pull this safety pin out, pull the latch up, it'll spring lock open as you saw there. So it's got a spring in there and that guy springs open. You would simply come down on the ball on the trailer. Then you simply push that close. And as you can see, this whole thing's moving here and it's gonna visually show you one up here that it's closed and the collar's all the way forward.

So right now, that ball's on there, it's not going nowhere. It's locked in place there, it's not going nowhere. Now to get that ball out, you would simply pull this again, that lock's open, boom, very simple operation. You can see that spring inside of there. So again, you get that nice visual, hey, this is open, or hey, this is closed. And I'm gonna go ahead and close this here. Maybe, so yeah, we're gonna go and close it. And then again, put your safety pin back in whenever you're ready to go down the highway. So again, very nice application. Again, if it's a 2" ball, it is 16-1/4" long. Ready for 5,000 pounds. Comes with a nice limited five year warranty. Well folks, that's gonna do it for our look today at the Bulldog Collar Lock Coupler with the High Profile Latch, again for 2" balls. I'm Steve with etrailer.com. Have a good day.

Bull dog has been a great hitch. One time I pulled a load upwith a five ton comealong.while winching I noticed the trailer touched the ground needless to say the truck was in the air.the tounge is rated for seven thousand, the load weighted eight thousand six hundred pounds plus the trailer. What a hitch. The only draw back I wish the insert for weldingis a little short for my preference. Wish was about three inches longer. Thanks



by:

Replaced a metric sized receiver on a German made trailer with this...after some trailer modification, this coupler worked fine...thank you for a great product.



by:

The couplers (3) are of excellent quality. Ordering was very simple by telephone. All questions were answered. Shipping was immediate and the product arrived in an unmolested box which surprised me due to the weight. I expected the box to be dented and the corners smashed. Tracking of shipments was important to me. Couplers will be installed on a rather unique vehicle. Each of the three cars of this miniture train will receive the new couplers.



by:

This is the only collar- lok that I use. No messing around. No hoping that I’ll be able to connect my trailer to my pickup. This works every time.



by:

Great replacement for my aged trailer. Just wish there was a way to lock it like my original without a special lock. I guess it is a good thing to stop me from using a less secure lock.



by:

I bought this old really cheap to rebuild. One of the parts that had to be replaced was the hitch, I towed it home with my fingers crossed. I googled trailer hitch, trailer and etrailer was one of the sites that was suggested. I had to find a hitch that fit the 3 1/2" pipe that was the tongue, voila there it was to my amazement. I ordered it right then, 4 days later it was delivered yesterday. Today I mounted it, it was an easy installation and I am really pleased with the hitch and install. My fears of losing a trailer are now history, tomorrow it gets tested with 1 1/2 yards of gravel for the slab for my new. shop



by:

I looked everywhere for a round coupler for my Tube-Neck trailer, then I found etrailer! I used it to replace the original, which was a thin steel coupler, that had been "pounded-out" until it was round!? This coupler is 20 times stronger. I had it welded on at the local welding shop. I took it on a 800 mile Hunting trip to southern Arizona last November. Not once was I the least bit concerned about the trailer, knowing that this strong coupler was now keeping everything connected. I gave it 4-stars, because the wire connector between the locking lever and the sliding collar, can easily be bent, and then can come free from the locking lever. Instead, it should be a solid steel piece, that is more firmly attached.



by:

Product is fine. Showed up pretty quickly. The product was sticking out through the box... not sure if they sent it like that or though all the moving but, it's metal product and doesn't bother me.



by:

Everything works perfectly and the customer service is fantastic—even a phone call to discuss some details . I will order from etrailer again and highly recommend them to anyone needing trailer parts.



by:

I seem to order trailer parts from etrailer a couple of times a month for the past 18 months. Never had a problem and they have plenty of options regardless of what your looking for. Great service with great products = happy customer

  • Trailer Coupler for a Trailer with a Round Tube Straight Tongue
    We have a few different round tube mount couplers that might work for you. If the tube has a 1-3/4 inch diameter we have 4 options: # BD028381 is rated for 7,000 pounds and fits a 2 inch ball # BD028242 is rated for 5,000 pounds and fits a 2 inch ball # BD028442 is rated for 12,500 pounds and fits a 2-5/16 inch ball # BD028461 is rated for 12,500 pounds, fits a 2-5/16 inch ball, and has a high-profile latch And we have one option if the tube is 3-1/2 inches in diameter. It is # BD028383...

  • Availability of a Trailer Coupler that Fits a 3-1/2 Inch Wide Tongue
    If the trailer tongue in question is 3-1/2 inches round then you can use Bulldog coupler # BD028383. If you have a square or rectangular tongue then a 3-1/2 inch wide straight coupler is not available. You may be able to use a channel bracket like # BDAC3000300, weld it to the end of the tongue, and then use coupler # BDA200C0317.

  • Trailer Coupler Recommended for Trailer With 2-5/8 Inch Round Tube Tongue
    I don't have an option that would bolt or weld right up to your 2-3/8 inch diameter pipe, but if you're handy we have an option or two that could work for you with a little welding and fabrication work. We do have a round tube tongue coupler that could work, but it's for a 2 inch trailer ball so you'd need to replace your existing 1-7/8 inch ball with a 2 inch. I'd recommend using the # BD028383 which is designed for a 3-1/2 inch pipe, so you'd need to shim the 2-3/8 inch pipe you have...

  • 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...
