Question:
I am trying to decide between the Ark coupler and the Lock n Roll. I have a 3500# wet camper being pulled by a Tacoma. I like the use of a ball for versatility as in the Ark, but am concerned with the 5000# strength rating off road. What do you recommend? Thanks

I like the compatibility of the Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler item # AR44FR over the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # 336TS528. The Ark is compatible with any vehicle utilizing a standard 2" ball. The maximum capacity of the Ark 5,000 lbs is lower than the Lock N Roll 6,000 lbs but it still meets your weight capacity needs. Both require modification of your trailer for use. You will need the Buyers Products Black Receiver Tube item # 337RT25806B to mount to your trailer to use the Ark coupler item # AR44FR.
