GusHill 2" Trailer Coupler for Straight Tongue — 2" Ball, 3,500 lb GTW, Zinc-Plated

Designed to clamp onto a 2" wide trailer tongue beam, the GusHill GH25153 trailer coupler provides a dependable connection between your trailer and tow vehicle. Built from alloy steel with a trigger latch that accepts a safety pin or coupler lock, this coupler balances strength, corrosion resistance, and an easy-to-use mechanism for frequent hookups on boats, campers, and utility trailers.

How does the GH25153 attach to my trailer tongue?

The GH25153 is made for a straight tongue and slides over a 2" wide trailer tongue beam for a precise fit. Its mounting flange aligns with standard bolt patterns so you can secure the coupler firmly to the tongue with high-strength hardware.

• Designed for 2" wide trailer tongues — ensures correct alignment
• Flanged base for standard bolt mounting (bolts not included)
• Alloy steel construction resists deformation under load

Is this coupler strong enough for my trailer load?

The GH25153 is classified as a Class 2 trailer coupler with a 3,500 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity and a 500 lb tongue weight (TW) limit. That rating makes it suitable for many small utility trailers, light campers, and small boats, provided the trailer’s tongue and hitch match the same capacity.

• 3,500 lb gross trailer weight rating (Class 2)
• 500 lb maximum tongue weight capacity
• Formed alloy steel body for consistent load performance

What safety and locking features are included?

The coupler uses a trigger latch mechanism that keeps the ball socket closed during towing and accepts an external safety pin or a coupler lock (sold separately) for extra security. The latch design simplifies hookup while letting you add theft or accidental-disconnect protection as needed.

• Trigger latch for reliable ball engagement and quick release
• Latch accepts a safety pin or coupler lock (not included)
• Positive seating design reduces the chance of accidental uncoupling

Will the finish hold up in wet or coastal environments?

To help resist corrosion, the GH25153 is coated with a durable zinc plating that stands up better to moisture than plain steel. While the zinc layer improves weather resistance, routine inspection and maintenance will extend service life, especially in salty or marine settings.

• Zinc-plated finish for improved corrosion resistance
• Suitable for boat trailers and recreational use with regular care
• Wipe, grease, and inspect fasteners periodically for longevity

Who is this for? The GusHill GH25153 is aimed at owners of small utility trailers, light campers, and personal watercraft trailers who need a straightforward, rugged 2" coupler for a straight tongue. If your trailer tongue is 2" wide and your trailer’s total weight and tongue weight fall within the coupler’s ratings, this unit provides an economical, weather-resistant option with a user-friendly latch that accepts safety locking hardware.
