A-Frame Trailer Coupler for a 2-5/16 Inch Ball that Can be Locked
Question:
I have a home built trailer with an A frame coupler. It works fine but there isnt any way to lock the coupler down. I was hoping to buy one to replace it but it takes a 2 5/16 ball. Not seeing any that would accommodate it. No name on the coupler, but a trigger type like this one would work as long as it was for the ball size mentioned.

Expert Reply:
Coupler repair kits are not always universal. In fact it is less likely that one designed for a certain coupler will fit a different coupler. Without knowing the brand and model coupler you have I cannot guarantee that any of the repair kits will work.
I recommend replacing the coupler with a new one such as # DM16680-52. It is a bolt-on A-frame coupler that takes a 2-5/16 inch ball. You can look it with a latch lock, # e98888.
