What's up everybody, Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Bulldog Cast Adjustable Trailer Coupler. So this is gonna be for your two and 5/16th inch ball. If you don't have one, make sure you get one and make sure you confirm the size that you do have if you have one, make sure it's gonna work with this. This is gonna be for some of the heavier duty applications. Gonna have a capacity of 14,000 pounds.
It's made of cast, nice powder coated finish. So it's not gonna rust away over time. And this is going to need to fit into a channel of three inches. So just make sure we measure on the inside here. And this is three inches.
There is a little bit of play, not a whole lot. So if you did have a washer, you can maybe put it in there and that'll kind of get it a little bit tighter. So you're not gonna be hearing this, whenever you're going down the road. We do have some hardware that's included, both the bolt and nylon locknut, two of them, and it's nice and that it comes with them 'cause some of them don't and all you need is a 24 millimeter socket to wrench them down. This does have a wedge style latch.
And so this latch is not gonna be a latch that's gonna stay up on its own. It's spring loaded. So if you did wanna upgrade to anything, there is a couple different ones that we have. This is the one we took off. So this is an easy latch.
So I like the easy latches, it's definitely gonna be an upgrade because you go up to your trailer, you open this up, it'll stay open. And then the second that you go down on the ball, I can't really do it right now, but it'll snap in a place for you. So you don't have to do it manually. One thing you're gonna need for your trailer for the coupler, actually, is just a little pin. So once you clip it down, you do want to put this and insert into this little hole right here. This is this one's a little long. So if you really wanted something that's super super tight against it. It's about an inch and a quarter from one edge to the other. So definitely grab one of those. If you don't have one, it is a necessity. Whenever you're hauling around your trailer we just wanna make sure you're nice and safe. We do have a lot of options of that on our website. And if you don't have a channel like this we also sell that as well. You will have to weld it on just make sure you have a good welder or somebody who knows how to weld to do that. When it comes to this, I think the upgrade is definitely gonna be the easy latch, but there are some other options that are gonna stay open. Kind of like this one right here. So you can pull this up and then whenever it's done you can go ahead and just fold it back in. Once you lower it down on the trailer, I think this will be an upgrade as well, but I'm not really a fan of this latching system compared to the easy latch. So if you want my recommendation easy latch, it's better, quicker, simpler. But if this is something that is gonna get the job done, you don't need anything fancy. It's gonna be a really good entry level option to just get a nice high quality heavy duty coupler on the front of your trailer. The overall lengths about nine and a quarter inches. And then from the center of the mounting holes to the farthest point it's about eight and a quarter inches. And then just the amount of length we're gonna add to our trailer. It's about seven. And that'll do it for a look at the Bulldog Cast Adjustable Trailer Coupler..

Durable cast coupler features the easy-to-use Wedge Latch for simple, quick hookup and can be used with an adjustable-height bracket for moderate customization.Fits well. Excellent follow-thru by tra iler.
Purchased this coupler to replace the original coupler that was worn out. The new coupler performs well and solved the clunking with every stop and start of the old coupler.
Nice heavy duty. Adjustable Coupler fits great. The lever to lock it is the kind I prefer. Its easy to open and close.
Thanks, Stephanie.
This is a substantial ball hitch. I haven't installed it yet since I intend to paint it. The gray paint on it seems to be only a primer and it isn't adhering well to the metal. So I wire-wheeled the paint off. That was a quick job--the gray came off easily. Some lacquer thinner will clean the metal and then the metal primer will adhere well. Then I'll paint it to match the CornPro trailer. This hitch can be locked with a regular lock, or so it appears. I haven't tried it yet to be sure. The ball socket is simply the rough casting, like all the rest of the hitch, so I hope it won't roughen up the ball. Grade 5 bolts with nylon insert nuts were included. The trailer had grade 8 bolts. So I will keep an eye on the wear. I would rather replace worn bolts every few years than have grade 8 bolts wear the softer bolt holes. On a 6,000 GTW trailer, I don't think grade 5 bolts will be sheared off.
The etrailer staff are the best with working with customers. Part of my order was lost and working with etrailer representative a suitable replacement part was quickly shipped out and charges for the original part list in shipping removed. I am grateful for the concern and interest from etrailer to make sure I was a satisfied customer. Not many companies really work with their customers anymore.
My old hitch is of a thicker metal, kind of surprised with the quality of the new one. I'll probably be ordering the latch kit for the old hitch. Very pleased with the service from your company. Thanks
Thank you, delivered exactly what I ordered, when you said it was to be delivered. Well packaged, couldn’t have been any better. Looking at upgrading my lights and will give you a call
You have excellence service. I needed a ball hitch for a trailer I had bought and when I ordered it, it was delivered two days later. Wow! What service!
You also have really good prices to and a very good selection to choose from. Thanks every so much for everything. Al
Product was easy to find on the website. The price was good and it was delivered on time.
It was exactly what I was looking for. Great service and quick shipping.
The casting of the hitch s excellent. The closure mechanism appears to be sturdy and parts can be replaced when warn. A better quality paint should be used because it"s all chipped and will be removed and re primed.
Perfect replacement for a worn coupler.
I like the quality. It works so much better than the cheap coupler the trailer came with!
Excellent fit, works well as replacement for previous coupler which failed
I replaced the clam shell coupler on my Big Tex dump trailer with this one and I really like it. So much easier to use.
I’ve been using my trailer head for a year now, it’s still works fine, good quality.
If in need another one I’ll buy here. Thanks
Nice heavy hitch that just bolted right in place.
Holds up great, been using almost daily hauling my Bobcat e42 excavator
both items were exactly as pictured on the website. The packaging left a little too be desired though.
easy to install and has held up perfectly. no problem at all.
Looks to be good quality. Fits exactly as the old one. Cheap primer paint but satisfied overall.
As always, exactly what I wanted and within the specified time frame. No complaints.
Excellent product. The locking mechanism is smooth and easy to operate. Easy to install. Very well built.
Exactly as original fit perfectly
Parts were just what we ordered, and service was even better! Everything arrived even faster than I expected. Thanks!

After a years use, the ball hitch is fulfilling my needs very well. My concerns proved to be unfounded. A lock with extended shackle works fine. No wear shows on the hitch or the ball. I always feel confident that the hitch will stay secure.My method of painting worked well.
