Hey Frederick. The Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # CT-3001-Z is the best coupler we carry for a 2" wide trailer tongue. It has a 3,500 lbs capacity, works with a 2" hitch ball, and has mounting holes 3-1/16" on center. This coupler has a zinc finish to protect it from corrosion. It comes with a trigger latch that won't seize up if you keep it lubricated.
If you want to use a coupler like the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # DM15945 you referenced, I recommend adding a couple 1/2" pieces of steel to the sides of your 2" trailer tongue to make it wider. All of the couplers that fit a 2" wide trailer tongue are pretty comparable as far as features and latch mechanisms go. Demco does not make a coupler that fits a 2" wide tongue.
What kind of trailer do you have and what do you use it for? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.
