Question:
I believe this CT-3001-Z is the product I need however I live an hour from a hardware store. Is the mounting hardware included? If not, what size and grade should I use? Also what is the diameter of the holes?

I pulled the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler, # CT-3001-Z, from our warehouse and the installation instructions state that you should use 1/2 inch diameter, grade 5 bolts and locknuts to mount this coupler to the trailer tongue. They said that it is acceptable to use 4 separate bolts or two long bolts passing through all four holes. You can also add two bolts to the top holes for extra strength.
