No, it will not Glenn. The ICON Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip 2-5/16" Ball Coupler item # AL63DQ requires a flat lip around and behind the receiver like our product pictures show. It looks like your trailer's coupler is similar to the item # CA-5400-B where the lip drops off right below the latch.

I recommend the BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty Coupler Lock item # BPH96VR. This lock is built with a hardened solid steel bar to resist cutting and tampering, which also doubles as a visual deterrent. The lock mechanism is shielded by a rubber cap to prevent dirt and moisture buildup.

What kind of coupler do you have? I wasn't able to read the model information off of the picture you provided.

Jarred H I have a 2025 Mission MOCH8X16 16-foot aluminum trailer. Mission is an Alcom LLC brand. I believe the coupler to be a RAM CA-5400SH-Z 14,000 lb capacity 2-5/16? ball size durable zinc finish (include mounting holes for bolt on application).

@GlennB Right on! That's a nice trailer. I thought that coupler looked familiar. Ram makes ours like item # CA-5400-B too. Thanks for confirming! ICON Trailer Coupler Locks like the item # AL63DQ you were looking at won't work with them. The lip around the coupler drops off way to close to the where the ball sits so the lock won't secure. The BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty Coupler Lock item # BPH96VR is going to be the best choice to deter a determined thief let alone a casual one.

@JerredH Actually, I think I was looking at the Item # AL86DQ. Does this make a difference? Glenn B
