For an easy towing hookup, bolt or weld these couplers to a trailer. They connect to the hitch ball on a vehicle and secure with a lever latch. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed.

Bolt On—Straight

Straight couplers bolt to a single-channel trailer tongue.

Lockable Lever and Lockable Lever with Pin—Couplers with a lockable lever help prevent accidental uncoupling while driving. They have a hole in the latch, so you can secure it with a pin, padlock, or coupler lock (sold separately). Some couplers include a pin.

Bolt On—Height Adjusting

Height-adjusting couplers raise and lower to match the height of your hitch ball and level your trailer. This distributes the load on your tires better than straight or A-frame couplers. A spring-loaded latch on these couplers automatically opens and closes around the ball.

Lockable Lever with Pin—Couplers with a lockable lever help prevent accidental uncoupling while driving. They have a hole in the latch, so you can secure it with a pin, padlock, or coupler lock (sold separately). Some couplers include a pin.

Hitch-Ball Coupler Locks


Style A	Style B	Style C

Insert these locks into the hitch-ball coupler latch or socket on your trailer to prevent theft. Each lock is plated or powder-coated to stand up to weather, so you can use them on outdoor trailers without worrying about corrosion.

Style A

Style A locks block the latch lever, so no one can open the latch and connect their own vehicle without the key. These locks are a good choice when your vehicle and trailer are unsupervised, such as at refueling stops.

Keyed Differently—Choose keyed differently locks if you need locks that each open with a different key.

Style B

Style B locks block access to the socket, so no one can hitch your trailer without the key. These locks are a good choice when your trailer is unhitched from your vehicle, such as during drop-offs or while in storage. They are one piece and compact for easy installation and storage. Made of aluminum, they resist corrosion better than steel locks.

Style C

Style C locks block access to the socket, so no one can hitch your trailer without the key. These locks are a good choice when your trailer is unhitched from your vehicle, such as during drop-offs or while in storage. They can also be used on ring-type hitches. Made of two hardened steel pieces, they’re heavy duty and stand up to attempts to cut them open better than aluminum locks.

Keyed Alike—Choose keyed alike locks if you need several locks that open with the same key.

Hitch Inserts

Insert Shown with Hitch-Ball Components

Use these inserts in hitch-ball connections for towing. They fit into a receiver that's attached to a vehicle. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the hitch ball.

Height Adapters for Hitch Balls


(Shown in Drop Position)	(Shown in Raise Position)

Height adapters for hitch balls raise or drop the ball to the height that works for your trailer. From the drop position, rotate the adapter 180° to achieve the raise position.

Stainless Steel— Adapters made from stainless steel offer the most long-term corrosion resistance.

These inserts allow you to connect a drawbar coupler to a hitch receiver on a vehicle for towing. Fit them into a receiver and mount a coupler to the mounting plate. The more mounting holes a plate has, the more you can adjust the position of the coupler to match the height of your trailer.

Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the drawbar ring.

Drawbar Couplers

Coupler Shown with Drawbar Components

Also known as pintle hitches, these are used with drawbar rings to connect a trailer to your vehicle for towing. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the drawbar ring or hitch ball. Use Grade 8 fasteners (included with some couplers) for mounting. Mount couplers directly to a vehicle or use a mounting plate insert to mount them to a hitch receiver. See Mounting Plate Inserts for Drawbar Couplers and Hitch Receivers.

Note: Capacity is reduced 25% in off-road use.

Combination Ball/Eye Drawbar Couplers

Style 4

Combination ball/eye couplers include a ball for use with hitch-ball connections.

Vertical Latch—Couplers with a vertical latch move up to open. They are the most common type.

Hitch Kits


Kit with Cotter Pin	Kit with Locking Pin

Everything you need to attach a hitch to your vehicle's receiver—these kits include a hitch insert, ball, and pin. To match the height of your trailer, you can flip them over to raise or drop the ball. The ball in these kits connects with hitch-ball couplers on trailers.

Locking—Kits with a locking hitch pin prevent your hitch from getting stolen—you can't pull the hitch insert out without the key. A dust cap keeps debris out of the locking mechanism.

For Maximum Trailer Weight—Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed.

Vertical Capacity—Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) is the weight of the load on the hitch ball.
