Helpful Expert Reply:

So what you're looking for is a straight tongue coupler for a 2" ball with a 3" channel that can handle at least 7,500 lbs. For a replacement that fits these requirements we have a few options from Demco. If you want a zinc finish with a 200-Hour salt spray rating we have the # 12564.

If you would rather have a silver powder coat finish with a 500 hour rating we have the # DM15000-52. Both have a 10,000 lb weight capacity and a bolt-on installation. Both of these also have an eZ-Latch coupler mechanism that lets you hook up when the latch is in the closed position. The main difference is the finish and the latch style.

@DallasR straight coupler is fixed, same as the ones listed above. A channel coupler can be adjusted like # DM612466-81. The silver color is slightly different, take a look at the photos on the product page. The salt spray rating is also higher for the # DM15000-52.
