GusHill Trailer Coupler for 2" Ball — GH25153 Zinc‑Plated Alloy Steel, 3,500 lb GTW

The GusHill GH25153 is a zinc‑plated, alloy‑steel Class 2 trailer coupler made for 2" wide straight tongues, accepting a 2" hitch ball with a 3,500 lb gross trailer weight rating and 500 lb tongue weight capacity.

If you need a reliable connector for boat, camper, or utility trailers that mounts to a 2-inch tongue beam, the GusHill GH25153 offers a simple, durable solution. Built from formed alloy steel and finished with corrosion‑resistant zinc plating, this coupler pairs a trigger latch for quick attachment with the option to secure it using a safety pin or coupler lock. It’s sized for standard 2" hitch balls and engineered to fit straight trailer tongues that measure two inches wide.

How does the GusHill GH25153 attach to my trailer tongue?

Installment is straightforward: the GH25153 is shaped to slide over a 2" wide straight tongue beam and then be fastened with bolts through the mounting holes. The internal clamp and formed housing provide a snug mating surface to reduce wobble when tightened correctly.

• Mounts to 2" wide straight trailer tongues
• Bolt-on installation using standard fasteners (not included)
• Formed alloy-steel body conforms to tongue shape for a stable fit

What safety and security features are included?

The GH25153 uses a trigger latch mechanism that snaps over the 2" hitch ball to hold the coupler closed during towing. The latch accepts a safety pin or aftermarket coupler lock (sold separately) for added protection against accidental decoupling or tampering.

• Trigger latch accepts safety pin or coupler lock
• Positive engagement design to minimize accidental opening
• Zinc plated finish helps maintain function in wet conditions

What load limits and classification does this coupler meet?

This unit is rated as a Class 2 trailer coupler and is rated for up to 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight with a tongue weight capacity of 500 pounds. Those limits make it suitable for light to medium trailers such as small boats, campers, and utility trailers when matched with appropriate towing equipment.

• Class 2 rating
• 3,500 lb gross trailer weight (GTW)
• 500 lb maximum tongue weight

How does the finish hold up outdoors and around water?

The GH25153 is finished with a durable zinc plating that resists rust and corrosion better than bare steel, helping it last when exposed to rain, road spray, and marine environments. Regular inspection and simple maintenance—like rinsing salt from components and checking fasteners—will extend service life.

• Zinc plating for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Suitable for use on boat trailers and general outdoor applications
• Easy to clean and inspect for wear or corrosion
