Is The Bulldog Coupler BD028386 The Same As The Reese Coupler 028386?

Question:
I came upon the site by searching for a Reese a-frame coupler, your site has a bull dog coupler with the same part number only preceded by BD. Is this hitch and the Reese hitch the same hitch with different labels? Many Thanks Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ High-Profile Latch - 2 Ball - A-Frame - 7,000 lbs Part Number: BD028386

Hi Earl!
The Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ High-Profile Latch - 2" Ball - A-Frame - 7,000 lbs # BD028386 you found is indeed the same as the Reese you have. Bulldog and Reese are subsidiaries of a company called First Brands, so in this case, the Reese coupler is actually a Bulldog coupler and vice versa.
What kind of trailer are you replacing this coupler on?

Hi Earl, Did you manage to replace the coupler on your trailer with the Bulldog one? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it could help others in a similar situation.
