I would use a protractor, see photo, place the protractor on the edge of the inside of one side of the trailer frame and the other inside edge of the trailer frame should be parallel with the 50 degree line on the protractor. Another way to verify…
Hi Frank, While we can get you a brake controller for your 2020 Chevy Colorado, there isn't a plug-in option and harness because the truck doesn't have a plug under the dash. That said, the wires are already run to the cab, so it isn't…
Hey Marc, it's the lower of the two holes in the Demco EZ Latch Coupler part #DM16080-95 that gets used for the hitch lock. We have that with part number #IR66FR which was specifically designed for this coupler.

Yes, you will be able to replace your stock coupler with the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler #DM13205-95 as long as you have a standard a-frame trailer. I attached a picture below of the dimensions below so you can see if it would work for…
The big difference between the two couplers you mentioned is that the Demco #DM13205-95 does not come with chain anchors and the part #DM16680-52 does.
That is correct the inner dimension of the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler item #DM14793-95 is 10 3/4 inches. I have attached a picture that breaks down the measurements. You would need to fabricate a spacer on either side to attach this coupler to…
Hey Jaime. It sounds like you've got a bad trailer connector on your Tacoma or something wrong with the wiring between your connector and your fuse box. A lose ground or corrosion on your connector would be the first place to look. Corrosion can…

Reliable A-Frame Trailer Couplers for Secure Towing
A-Frame Trailer Couplers are essential for ensuring a secure connection between your trailer and towing vehicle. They come in various styles and weight ratings to suit different needs. Consider the ease of installation, durability, and compatibility with your trailer's tongue when choosing the right coupler.
Look for a coupler that matches your trailer's weight capacity and tongue size. Consider features like an easy-to-use latch mechanism and durable construction. Some couplers offer adjustable height or underslung designs for better towing alignment.
Installation is generally straightforward, especially if the bolt holes align with your trailer. Some may require drilling new holes. A spring-loaded latch can make the process smoother. Ensure you have the necessary tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions for a secure fit.
Some users experience paint chipping or rust over time, so consider a coupler with a durable finish. Latch mechanisms can occasionally stick, so regular maintenance is key. Ensure the coupler is compatible with your trailer to avoid alignment issues.
High-profile couplers offer easier handling, especially for those with limited hand strength. They provide a better grip and can make hitching and unhitching more comfortable. This design is particularly beneficial for those with arthritis or similar conditions.
Using a wheel on the tongue jack can sometimes cause bending or warping of the coupler. It's important to ensure the coupler is designed to handle such stress. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or consider a more robust coupler design.
