I went to pick up a small travel trailer I purchased on here and the coupler won’t latch. I changed a tire and aired up the rest and left the trailer there as I was afraid of it coming off of my truck. Can someone tell me if the bolt on top of the trailer will adjust the latch. I didn’t have any tools with me so I was unable to try it. I have pulled a bunch of trailers over the years but I’ve never had this problem with this style coupler. Thanks for any help you can afford me!

If you look closely, your ball isn't sitting in the center of the receiver. Once you pull forward, assuming its not rusted tight, it will slide right in to place.

Originally posted by parkchief100 View PostThanks, but the trailer was buried on the ball and I had already sprayed it and pulled forward. The latch will move back and forth easily but it won’t latch. I think it’s like the other post said it’s bent.
