Dexter 2 5/16 Inch Adjustable Trailer Coupler, 2-Hole, Painted, Part 074-340-00

This Dexter adjustable trailer coupler is built around a 2 5/16 inch ball size and mounts using a 2-hole bolt pattern, making it a common choice for boat and utility trailer tongues that need height adjustment to match the tow vehicle's hitch. The adjustable design lets the coupler height be set to level the trailer for towing, which helps keep the trailer tracking correctly and reduces uneven wear on the coupler and ball. The coupler carries a painted finish for corrosion resistance during outdoor storage and highway use.

Because it uses a 2-hole mounting pattern, this coupler is intended to bolt directly to a trailer tongue that is already drilled for that pattern, or to a channel/A-frame tongue during a coupler swap. At 9 pounds, it is a solid, standard-duty coupler assembly. Part number 074-340-00 identifies this specific Dexter coupler for ordering and cross-checking against your trailer's existing coupler.
