Could Demco Coupler part # DM37ZR Replace Coupler of Trailer with 2 Bolts

Question

Question:

I need to replace the 2inch A-frame coupler of my Carryon 6x12AGW trailer. The existing A-frame coupler has two bolt holes. Will the Demco eZ-Latch Couplers DM37ZR or DM14793-81 work? Can you please recommend a replacement A-frame coupler with two bolt holes.

Hey Jesse, so the Demco Cast Head Coupler part # DM37ZR could work on your trailer but worst case scenario you'd need to drill new holes and run new hardware. To see if we have a replacement that would bolt right up we would need to know what brand of coupler you have as there's quite a few options.

Hey Jesse, did you find out which brand of coupler is on your Carryon trailer? Once you have that info, I can help narrow down a direct bolt-on replacement.
