Ram couplers are solid couplers that as long as you stay under the capacity of them they will work great. I would not recommend a 12.5k coupler on a 14k trailer though.
Instead you'd want to go with a coupler with a 15k capacity like the part # CA-5280-RB instead. I attached a review video for this coupler for you to check out as well.
