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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 074-340-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoupler Ball Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoupler Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat ball size does this Dexter coupler use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter 074-340-00 coupler is sized for a 2 5\/16 inch trailer ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the coupler height adjustable?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this is an adjustable coupler, so the height can be set to level the trailer with the tow vehicle's hitch before towing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does this coupler mount to the trailer tongue?\u003c\/strong\u003e It bolts on using a 2-hole mounting pattern, part number 074-340-00.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this coupler weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter 074-340-00 adjustable coupler weighs 9 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the coupler have?\u003c\/strong\u003e This coupler has a painted finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Dexter part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part 074-340-00 is a genuine Dexter adjustable trailer coupler, not an aftermarket copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this coupler fit any trailer tongue?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is designed for tongues drilled for a 2-hole mounting pattern; the tongue holes need to match this pattern for a direct bolt-on fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this coupler be used to replace a worn or damaged coupler?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Dexter 074-340-00 is commonly used to replace a worn 2 5\/16 inch adjustable coupler with a matching 2-hole mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the coupler come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e The dossier for part 074-340-00 does not specify included hardware, so confirm bolt and nut requirements separately when installing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between this coupler and a fixed (non-adjustable) coupler?\u003c\/strong\u003e An adjustable coupler like the Dexter 074-340-00 allows the mounting height to be changed to level the trailer, while a fixed coupler has a set height with no adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991258640603,"sku":"DEX-074-340-00","price":202.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/dexter-14k-2-5-16-adjustable-channel-mount-trailer-coupler-074-340-00__11060.1747363837.500.750.jpg?v=1785329079","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/dexter-2-5-16-in-adjustable-channel-mount-trailer-coupler-2-hole-painted-074-340-00","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
