2×3 Straight Tongue Coupler, 2 Inch Ball Size, 3″ Channel

Description The 2×3 Straight Tongue Coupler, Zinc, 5K, part #31-CT-5003-Z, gives you a dependable trailer hitch connection for light- to medium-duty towing. It fits trailers with a straight tongue design and mounts to a 3-inch wide channel frame on the trailer. This coupler works with a 2-inch trailer hitch ball and carries up to 5,000 lbs of gross trailer weight. This coupler uses a zinc-plated finish that protects the steel from rust, corrosion, and outdoor weather. The zinc coating helps the coupler stay durable when you tow near water, in wet climates, or on salted roads. The internal channel dimensions measure approximately 5 inches from the bend to the rear, with a width just over 3 inches and about 2-1/8 inches tall, so it fits snugly onto a matching 3-inch trailer tongue channel. The bolt-on design uses common fasteners to secure the coupler to the trailer frame. This straight tongue coupler uses a trigger latch that lets you hook up fast. You pull the trigger, seat the coupler on the hitch ball, and lock it down. The latch holds the hitch steadily while you travel. You see this coupler on trailers like utility trailers, boat trailers, landscape trailers, and small equipment trailers. It gives a solid connection for weekend hauling, work runs, or road trips. Install this coupler with 1/2-inch bolts and tighten securely to the tongue. Then check the fit on the ball before you tow. A good mount keeps the trailer level and reduces sway. This 5,000 lb straight tongue trailer coupler fits the common 2×3 trailer channel and delivers reliable performance.
