The Dexter DX7.5L A-60L Surge Brake Actuator has a sleek, low-profile design that welds directly onto a 3" wide trailer tongue. It comes primed, so you can paint it to match your trailer once it’s in place. The included fill cap keeps the fluid free from debris during and after installation. At 17-1/2" long and 4-3/16" tall, it keeps the front of the trailer neat and compact while giving you room to work around your coupler and chains.
Traditional trigger latches can hang up or stick out, but this actuator’s flush latch design keeps everything smooth and protected. The coupler only locks once the 2" ball is fully seated, giving you an audible click when it’s ready. The tethered safety pin holds it closed even if the latch handle pops up. It’s quick to hitch and unhitch without extra tools or awkward angles.
Built for hydraulic drum brakes, this surge actuator uses an aluminum master cylinder that won’t rust like cast steel. With a gross towing weight rating of 7,500 lbs, it provides consistent braking pressure as soon as your trailer pushes forward under deceleration. The fill cap helps keep the brake fluid clean, extending the life of your braking components.
The welded connection gives you a solid, permanent mount that won’t loosen over time. A built-in breakaway cable with an S-hook is ready to stop your trailer if it ever separates from the tow vehicle. Certified by SAE for safety and reliability, the A-60L provides dependable performance trip after trip without needing a separate brake controller.

Ratings & Reviews
Came packaged well and in a timely manner. Product just as expected. Installed and ready to go.
Fast courteous service, great equipment.
worked great
Worked great, replaced an old Atwood, welded in where the old one was cut out. Minor modification to the brake line, easy to bleed master cylinder and then bleed brake system. Coupler is extremely easy to use.
I installed this brake actuator on a 3500 lb boat trailer with drum brakes, is working great so far. Needed to replace the existing broken hitch on my trailer and this was a suitable replacement to get the brakes working again.
Worked perfectly
Perfect fit exactly the part that I nee ded
Installed and working as expected.
Worked well, easy to swap my old one
My 1993 Jayco 1206 pop-up was originally equipped with an Atwood weld on hitch with surge brake actuator. The actuator became seized and unserviceable and was obsolete, so it couldn't be replaced. I got this replacement hitch, cut the old one off, and had this one welded on. This is a great option and will be much more serviceable in the future. I am very pleased!
Product specs are right on. Well built.
Was exactly what I was expecting, good quality, a fair price, and will fit right on my trailer tongue.
Good job!!!
I ordered late Tuesday evening. It shipped on Wednesday, arrived Friday and my boat trailer was fixed by Friday evening. Product was exactly as advertised and the perfect replacement for my damaged one. Quick and accurate shipping had me back out fishing by the weekend. Very impressed with etrailer service levels.
Paul is awesome!!
I was very pleased with the way he handled the order. I was going to order it online but he suggested that he could possibly have it delivered in 3-4 days. Actually it was delivered in 24 hours.
I thought [other retailers] were quick about deliveries till I ordered from etrailer.
The coupler and the brake actuator fit perfectly and definitely was a great replacement from the Atwood coupler.
Thanks. Paul.
Product as described and will be the needed replacement for the existing actuator on the trailer.
Great service and fast shipping
