Do Alter Icon Trailer Coupler Locks Add Tongue Weight To Trailer? How Much Do They Weigh?  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Olivia, each ICON weighs around 20lbs depending on the model. That heft is what makes them tough to tamper with. You’ll notice the weight when you lift it, but once installed on the coupler, it doesn’t affect anything. And it gets removed obviously when you tow the trailer, so it won't be adding tongue weight or anything like that (unless you throw it in a tool box at the front of the trailer or in the bed of your truck behind the rear axle - then it would count towards tongue weight).

Do you move your trailer often, or mainly leave it in storage?

Also, what style coupler do you have? Here are some options depending on your setup, and feel free to let me know what specific model coupler you have since we do have more custom options from ICON aside from these

-2" Yoke Style # AL33DQ
-2" Cast And Sleeve Style # AL78DQ
-2-5/16" Cast Style # AL38DQ

-2-5/16" Flat Lip # AL63DQ.
