Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Ark Trailer Side Articulating Off-Road Coupler for two inch hitch receivers. Now, this part here is ideal for off-road towing, it's a fully articulating coupler, which will insert into your trailer's two-inch receiver and attaches to the included two inch ball here, which is mounted onto your tow vehicle's ball mount. Now, most of the off-road trailers use a two inch hitch receiver on the tongue of the trailer, and this articulating coupler's what would install into that two inch hitch receiver opening. Now, for our demonstration, I happen pull an example of a two inch hitch receiver opening, you can see right here. So what I'm gonna do is go ahead and take the pin and clip out, and then I'm gonna insert this into there, so we can demonstrate how this articulating coupler works.
Now, this does have some weight to it, it's about 28 pounds, so if we lift this up, insert it into the two inch opening, slide it back until we can get our hole lined up, slide our pin and clip through. Now, the pin and clip is not included, you would have to supply that or we do sell does separately on our website. But once you have it installed, this is how it would look into your front of your tongue of your trailer. And you can see that it will articulate this way, and then the ball inserts into here, and you can see that it'll articulate this way. Now, they do use a nice quick-hitch locking system, which will save you time during hookup.
If you noticed, right now, you can see there's red, and on it, it says unlock, which means you can put it onto the two inch ball. So just to demonstrate that, you can see if I put the two inch ball under there, so basically, when you go to hook up, you'll just line this up over your ball and then lower it down onto there. And once that's in there, what you'll do is this lever right here, you just push this, and if you heard that snap, that releases it, and if you look over here, it'll show green, which tells you that's locked, that means the ball's locked onto there and it's not gonna disconnect, and now, it gives you full articulation this way and full articulation this way. So pretty much articulate in any direction you need, so it is great for off-road trailering. Also, if you noticed, the two grease zerk fittings here for lubrication, you hook your grease gun up there to lubricate there, and then we have one right over here, another grease zerk fitting that you can lubricate for articulation of this.
This is a nice steel construction, it is tough enough to handle any environment, it is J684 compliant. Now, to release it, what you'll do, again, you'll see that this is showing up here, this means it's locked, to release it, you'll just pull up on this lever, and then you'll move this lever all the way over until it'll say unlocked, the red showing, and then you release the tab and it holds it in the unlocked position. And now, if you noticed, it'll unhook from the ball, simple as that, and it's ready to be hooked up again just like that. Now, it does have a max towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, which is also what's stamped on the top of your two inch included ball. You can see the ball has a nice silver chrome plated finish to it.
One last thing I do wanna give you is the measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of where the ball would be. So if we take our tape measure and if we go from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of where the ball hole would be is 13 3/4 inches. But again, just to show you one more time, again, you can see it's in the unlocked position, which means you're ready to connect. So you go up over the ball, once the ball gets in the place there, then just push your lever and let it back down, and it'll hold it and it'll show locked position right here, the green, and you can see that it's locked onto the ball. So then as you're off-roading, any direction you go, you're gonna stay connected, you won't disconnect. And then when you're ready to detach, you just lift up on this safety lever again, pull this one all the way across until it clicks into place, then you can remove the ball, simple as that. But that's gonna do it for the review on this Ark Trailer Side Articulating Off-Road Coupler for two inch receiver.
