Bolt holes 1/8th of an inch off, with some mods, works and tows perfect!
Purchased as a replacement for an old coupler. Working perfectly.
George was great ... Expedited my shipping even faster.
have what I need. fast service and ship ping
Good price fast shipping just like all the orders I have placed in the past.
works good on a garden trailer
Fit the trailer like a glove. It was easy to install.
Got it delivered and installed yesterday. Just what I needed. I always check e-trailer first when looking for towing related stuff... have been for a number of years.
Great service. Quality products. Best prices that I could find. I would recommend to friends and family. Would definitely do business with etrailer.com again.
I can always trust that what is described is what I will get. Quick processing and shipping.
I changed my coupler so that both of my trailers use the same size ball. Minus one star for having big annoying stickers that don't come off easily; had to soak them off and finish up the job with Gunk Off.
Perfect fit for the 2 1/2" channel on my utility trailer. Very easy installation and seems to be very well made. Happy with this purchase.
This was what I needed after the cheap ball hitch on my little trailer broke. It is much heavier duty than the cheap ones and galvanized to boot. Nice price, too, not much more than the el cheapo at the big-box store.
Excellent product and service. Will definitely tell others about this.
Bought this to replace coupler on my foldable RedTrailer. Perfect match -- even the holes for the bolts lined up. Reused pin from old coupler.
Used this on my yard cart for my lawnmower so I could leave the ball in the hitch plate to move stuff around the yard. no complaints here - holding fine in the elements. Definitely worth the money and as advertised
replacing what was on my Gator lawn trailer with this product adding ball and raised mount to pull trailer around in yard great product will attach using pre drilled top holes to trailer tongue
Arrived promptly, fit great - mounting holes lined up. Does the job.
Its what I ordered and it arrived quick ly.
Nice replacement for the rusted coupler (unused for for over 20 years, covered with dirt!) on my Long Chih LCI-851T folding trailer, which I bought as a kit from Home Depot in days gone by. The coupler seems to be well build and finished. It matches the OEM 2,000-lb rating. My order was fulfilled, well packed, and shipped quickly with delivery on the date promised. Thanks to etrailer.com, I'm very happy with their service. I haven't done a fit check yet, since the trailer is 325 miles away from me right now, but I think the channel width and bolt holes will be perfect. My one, small demerit is that labels affixed to the top of the coupler were gouged before the unit was shipped to me. Inconsequential parts-bin rash maybe, but a bit disappointing.

The replacement coupler perfectly matched the Long Chih LCI-851T tongue’s side bolt holes, but not its top holes. The new coupler has a better design with both top bolts through the tongue, not just the rear bolt. I used the new unit as a template for two new 38 top holes. After that tweak, coupler installation was easy. It has been excellent in use.
The coupler arrived today in fine shape. It will be installed on the boat trailer the first thing in the morning. Thank you.
I had accidentally run over the hitch on my "mail order" trailer and was afraid that I could not find a replacement because the particular part appeared to be somewhat rare. However, after a brief amount of browsing on etrailer.com, I found the EXACT item I needed. The specific dimensions, photos, and other documentation on the website really helped assure me that this was an identical hitch. And it was! Thank you etrailer.com for helping me fix my trailer. Easy to install, and the new hitch also works so much better that the original, which was an added bonus.

Still working great after a year...very pleased.
Side bolt holes match perfectly. 2 top holes in new coupler do not match up. Top hole on old coupler is for a bolt to hold safety chains. Had to use existing bolts on trailer frame for chains! The third bolt also added to the strength of coupler to trailer frame! Thinking of drilling third hole for safety chains and added strenth!
Arrived fast- Good strong quality. Didn't come with bolt, lockwasher or nut,which was no problem to pick up in town,
Im happy with my order and
customer service NicoleH was very helpful. Thanks Etrailer

The new coupler looks great on your trailer, Alice! What kind of trailer do you have?
Quality product, quality service!!! I could not find a coupler with 2 1/4 inches between bolts anywhere at any store. Seven different places and none of them had such a coupler. And the price was cheaper than any coupler I could have bought that wouldn’t fit. I am very, very impressed. I was so excited to receive it. I actually installed it in the rain.
Do you have a question about this Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler?
