Welcome back Gary. To replace a 2" coupler that fits a 2" wide trailer tongue our options are limited to the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # CT-3001-Z. It's got the standard trigger latch. There's not many options for couplers designed for 2" wide trailer tongues.

What you could do to install the Demco Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler item # DM15000-52, you were looking at, is get two 1/2" thick pieces of steel and weld them onto or bolt through them on the sides of your trailer's tongue.

The Demco coupler with the auto latch item # DM15000-52 is only available for trailer tongues that are 3" wide so you'll need to make some modifications to your tongue to make it fit. It fits a 2" hitch ball.

What kind of trailer do you have?

It's custom set up. I move my trailers around with fork lift and ball. Sometimes regular hitch jumps off ball. Thinking auto hitch would latch easier without getting off the lift. Thanks Gary
