This actuator is made from heavy-duty steel and treated with zinc plating that holds up against corrosion 2 times longer than a standard coating. The 200-hour salt spray rating makes it a solid choice for trailers that see wet, salty, or rough conditions. The built-in drop helps line up your trailer height, and the 20,000-lb gross towing weight rating gives you plenty of strength for serious hauling.
The EZ-Latch system makes hitching fast and foolproof. You don’t have to hold back a trigger or guess if the latch is seated; just lower the coupler onto the hitch ball and listen for the metallic clink that tells you it’s locked. Once it’s on, you can add a locking pin through the side hole if you want extra theft protection. The secure connection means you spend less time checking your latch and more time getting on the road.
Inside, the glass-reinforced nylon master cylinder keeps things running clean and consistent. It won’t rust or pit, and the large reservoir helps prevent low fluid levels during long trips. The automotive-style diaphragm cap seals out contamination so your brake fluid stays fresh longer. Together, these features make braking smooth and reliable without needing a separate brake controller.
The inner slide moves on a heavy-duty, self-lubricating acetal copolymer liner that keeps everything gliding easily under load. It’s tough, quiet, and durable, so the actuator telescopes smoothly when slowing or stopping and returns to position when you pull away again. That smooth operation translates to steadier braking and less wear over time.
Designed to bolt right on top of a 3" wide trailer tongue using 1/2" x 4-1/2" Grade-5 bolts (not included), this surge actuator is straightforward to mount. The built-in breakaway cable with snap hook adds safety by stopping your trailer if it ever disconnects. Once bolted in place, it’s ready to deliver years of strong, dependable performance with hydraulic drum brakes.

Product as describe, customer service went above and beyond. They definitely provided beyond 5 star rating. I appreciate everyone’s help at etrailer to make this shipment possible!!!
I live on a farm where it seems we're always fixing trailers or building trailers for use. I have bought several hitches from etrailer and they have ALWAYS been helpful. Great selection to choose from also. Recommend them highly.
Hitch arrived early and looks just like the picture and description. It is an exact replacement for the original. All the parts are available to rebuild the unit as well but mine was rusted pretty badly so I would have had a lot of time refinishing everything I didn't replace. In my situation there was about a $50 difference between rebuilding old or complete new unit. If your hitch is in better shape than mine, they have an excellent selection of repair parts. I would suggest taking yours apart and as long as it's not rusted solid, they can probably supply you with parts for less than $70.
Had a hard time trying to find this product, but E trailer was able to provide me with great service and found the trailer hitch I needed for my trailer.
This was an exact replacement for my 25 year old hitch! So glad they have so many choices, very helpful and a perfect fit
great customer service and quality prod uct.
Used this for a homemade dump trailer.
Found it was best to use a skid steer to bleed the system, move the tongue in. Then have a chain to back out. 2 person job.
Overall good product. Brakes work great! Plan on making a cover for the reservoir tank.
Excellent quality, very sturdy construction and excellent service.
Quality of the parts is good. Fit was good. Assembly quality was poor. Missing the cotter pin for the damper end pin . Brake fluid outlet fitting was loose.
Nice hardware and fantastic customer service Nicole was very knowledgeable and helpful!
