Hello, neighbors and friends, Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our Dexter Zinc-Plated, A60 coupler made for a two inch ball size and a three inch channel bolt-on edition rated at 5,000 pounds towing capacity. So folks, this will be considered a low profile coupler, so nice, sleek, simple design, and it is a nice simple latch that's gonna be very easy to manipulate and use and give you a nice, safe, and secure connection. So you'd simply pull out the pin on the top here, you've got a spring loaded lever and simply pop that up. As you can see, that opens up the mechanism here where the ball will go in. The ball is sold separately.
You should already have this on your ball mount. I've got one here just for demonstration purposes only. It is a two inch ball whenever you come down over the top of the trailer ball. Then you simply just push this down and it latches in place like so. Nice sturdy connection.
And then obviously you put the pin back in to secure it. When you're done, you simply undo the lever, it springs up, comes right off the ball. Again, no ball included. That's just for demonstration purposes. I'm gonna go ahead and close this back up.
Latch everything again so we can get some quick dimensions overall and everything. Now, as far as a finish, it is a nice zinc plated, so it's gonna be corrosion resistant. It's a nice durable steel construction. And again, it's a bolt on application, so you're gonna need to get some bolts, again sold separately. You could get them here at etrailer.com or at your local hardware store.
On center, the mounting holes are three inches apart and as I said before, it mounts to a three inch channel. And overall for a length, I was getting right about close to 11 inches overall and the outside dimension, outside to outside, was right at three and a quarter inches. Again outside to outside. As far as the height, I'm getting right at three inches tall as well. Now again, this is rated at 5,000 pounds gross towing weight, so again, nothing over 5,000 pounds and a max tongue weight of 500 pounds. So again, two inch ball. A nice low profile channel bolt coupler by Dexter. Folks, I'm Steven. Thanks so much for your time. Have a great day and stay safe as always while you're towing.
