Built a kayak trailer using coupling. Welded up great and problem free for a year
I put this Coupler on a 2021 INTECH FLYER PURSUE CAMPER. The camper weighs only 1500lbs. On the first trip we headed to Maine from Massachusetts. Outside of Portland Me. we went over a small bump in the road were they were repaving the highway and the trailer came off of the ball. I pulled off the highway and and looked at the damage. All my electronic connectors were ripped off the camper when the tongue hit the pavement and it also bent the Fulton swivel jack. The Coupler was still in the locked position. I could not believe the damage. I put the trailer back on the ball and attached it with ratchet straps. We made it a few miles to a NAPA parts store. Thank God I had a tool box with me. We replace the coupler with a HEAVY DUTY Coupler from NAPA along with the electric connectors. Two hours later I was Back on the road. Before I install the new Coupler I compared it with the E Trailer one. They were night and day. DO NOT BUY THIS CHEAP COUPLER.
Great coupler. I swapped out the welded 1-7/8" (ball) coupler on the boat trailer my dad gave me as it was rusted and the latch needed to be replaced, and I already had a 2" ball mount. I considered buying a new ball mount with 1-7/8" ball for $30, but this just made more sense considering the poor condition of the original coupler and the simplification of only needing a 2" ball mount (standard size when renting U-Haul trailers for hauling landscaping dirt and rocks. Removing the welded coupler wasn't too difficult with a cutoff blade and grinding blade. Drilling the 1/2" holes took as long as cutting off the welded coupler. A definite upgrade for a better looking trailer and simplification of only needing one 2" ball mount.
Ya, I'm good! As I recall the items were: springs, wheel bearings, couplers and at least one jack. I was working on small boats and trailers. Bought and sold a few to get ahead enough so that I could keep one for myself, as the fruits of my labor. I'm not in need of any parts right now.

I recieved my new 2" tongue to replace a 1 7/8" for my trailer as an update, as I have 2 other trailers that use 2". Came very quickly & thank you etrailer for such a great deal & transition online with Paypal !!!!!!!!!!!

Sold the boat
We order multiple times a year, always excellent customer service!
Both Products appear to be very good quality & long lasting! My Trailer is about 15 years old and had damage to the coupler. Adjustable wheel was in bad shape. Replaced both.
Laid it on the tongue, marked the holes, drilled the holes, bolted the hitch on. Haven't had any problems!
Just what I needed at a great price
Easy website to find the things I needed. Timley shipping and ability to follow delivery progress.
Would not have a problem using them again for future purchases
exactly as advertised
It's OK except for the little locking pin on the chain. With the pin in place, the handle can be lifted almost all the way up. The tiny pin needs to be replaced with a heavier pin, bolt, or padlock.

I replaced the worthless latch pin with a latch lock.
Product delivered was just what I ordered. I fits right and works great!
An issue developed with delivery. The UPS tracking page would not open for me. I had no idea if the package was seconded to USPS or what. Yesterday I finally went to the UPS store near me. They had the package for some time. The lady there told that others are complaining about the new UPS page requirements.
Anyway I have the coupler. I installed as soon as I arrived home. Installation took about two minutes!

Great
Received this hitch within 3 days to So Cal. Installed it yesterday April 24th. It looks to be good quality, time will tell. Only thing is, I wish it was made in the USA. E-Trailer is awesome as always. God bless.

Still working great. Thank you etrailer. Jesus Saves!!
I changed my 1000 lb utility trailer from Harbor Freight from a 1-7/8 inch ball hitch to a 2 inch ball hitch to match my 2000 lb utility trailer's 2 inch hitch. Got tired of changing balls. Etrailer's 2 inch straight hitch was perfect with some minor modifications. I replaced all the old bolts with new grade 8 and also replaced the safety chain with a stronger one. It has worked great.
Good quality. They don't specify the distance from the top of the channel down to the center of the mounting holes.
That distance is 1-1/4 inch for those who need to know.
It is not 1 inch as you would think for a 2 X 2 channel.
Sample of 1
Hasn't worked since day 1. Went on a utility trailer that gets limited use. Don't know if its the coupler or the components but will not latch to the hitch ball. Only somewhat worked twice, no corrosion or rust, watched all the tech videos to double check all checked out as it should have. Could be user error or POS product, no idea, lots of other good reviews though.
Fit right on my trailer and now all of my hitches are 2”

A year later still holding strong. I use it about every other month.
Trailer coupler is very good quality. I've purchased products from here before and was very impressed with the customer service. I will continue to purchase from etrailer for life.

One year later and still working fine, good quality.
I recently purchased a used 12’ alum. Boat and trailer. The trailer came with a 1-7/8” coupler. Everything that I tow is either 2” or 2-5/16”. This coupler will replace the old one on the boat trailer which is more heavy duty and more modern. Once installed it will be more user friendly than the old one.
Got this for my small boat trailer as a replacement, now trailer can be locked to the truck. Fits the 2" ball much better no excessive movement when latched.
Had trouble finding a direct bolt on 2" ball replacement for my old 1 7/8" ball coupler at any of our local providers. Etrailer's clear product descriptions at their online site made it easy to find exactly what I was looking for. Placed order - delivered in 4 days. Product was very well manufactured and nicely packaged. I no longer have to change hitch balls when I switch between my 2 trailers.
I'm not too good at working electronic devices, so I'll thank you via this email. Your service was prompt and timely, the quality of your product, a 2 inch ball hitch was of good quality for the money. Installation was a snap. I won't know how dependable the hitch is until I arrive in Maryland without mishap, and we're leaving western Colorado on Monday. If I see my motorcycle trailer passing me on Rt. 70 I'll know the hitch failed. I don't think it will, though. I'd recommend etrailer to anyone who asks. Good products for the money... what else can you ask for??
So easy to get these delivered to our rural doorstep and at the best price! I checked locally (within 100 miles) and no price was cheaper than this (not to mention not having to drive that far). Great product and service. Made a great finish to my homebuilt utility trailer.
All four items I ordered for a boat trailer were all very quality items. The fenders
were exactly as described which was important to the fit of the trailer. The jack,
winch, and tongue coupler all exceeded my expectations for quality. I will never
shop elsewhere for my truck and trailer needs. Thank you etrailer!

I hate to hear that you had such an experience with the coupler. We have heard of this happening before. We recommend making sure that the ball is fully seated in the coupler. It sounds like the new coupler is performing well for you.
