Nilight's 2-inch straight trailer coupler is intended for trailer owners and fabricators who need a reliable, easy-to-use hitch connection rated around mid-range towing loads. It suits owners of station wagons, light trucks, utility trailers, small campers, and anyone replacing a worn coupler or upgrading to a zinc-coated, latch-pin-secured design. Choose bolting if you expect to service or swap components frequently; choose welding for a permanent high-strength mount. Always verify vehicle and trailer ratings, install per manufacturer guidance, and inspect the latch pin and chain before each trip for safe towing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this coupler fit my trailer tongue?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes if your trailer tongue is a 3-inch channel and your ball is 2 inches; verify tongue and ball measurements before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I weld this coupler on instead of bolting?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, the coupler supports both welded and bolted installations; choose welding for a permanent secure mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Nilight","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48086997434526,"sku":"B0F18PJFDN","price":34.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/nilight-front-view-coupler.jpg?v=1785912803","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/nilight-straight-trailer-coupler-with-security-latch-chain-2","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
