Bulldog BX1 2 5/16 adjustable Gooseneck Coupler - 25,000lb Capacity
The Bulldog BX1 coupler is the result of generations of design expertise and field experience. It incorporates innovative features that revolutionize the benefits available from a gooseneck coupler.
Offers flexible mounting options with Next Generation locking plate coupler locking mechanism
Makes hooking up, adjusting vertical height, and disconnecting quick and easy
Maintains smooth operation over time with grease fittings for every important operating part
Operates easily with one hand thanks to new locking handle design
Provides continuous tight ball fit with ever-increasing cam tightening locking mechanism
Protects against wear with enclosed locking pin mechanism
Resists theft with integrated feature to allow pad-locking the coupler to the ball (lock not included)
Guides ball into socket more easily - letting you miss by more than an inch - with bottom locking plate 50% larger than competitors
Lengthens life of locking mechanism with oil-impregnated bushings
Allows shorter retracted length and less wasted length for trucks with high bed height via low-profile locking mechanism
Fits ball better and reduces jarring through contour-formed edge on bottom locking plate
Delivers unmatched strength through heavy-duty construction
Includes many modern innovations that improve security, service life, and functionality
New ball pocket design provides contact on both sides of the ball for substantially improved pull out strength - the only sliding-plate design that transfers part of the load to the top locking plate rather than only the bottom locking plate

Q: What types of trailer couplers are available?
A: We offer two types of trailer couplers, including a bumper pull (coupler clamps onto a hitch ball at rear of vehicle) and a gooseneck coupler (a pipe or square tube with ball coupling, clamps onto hitch ball mounted in the bed of a truck positioned above the rear axle).
Q: What types of bumper pull couplers are available?
A: Straight tongue
A-frame Adjustable tongue
Flat mount
All are available in both stamped and cast coupler designs.
Q: What is the difference between a stamped and cast coupler?
A: A stamped coupler is formed from high alloy sheet steel and the coupling head is integrated into the coupler body. This is a method of producing couplers that are not as durable as a cast coupler, but typically cost less. A cast coupler has a cast or forged coupler head that clamps onto the hitch ball. This provides for increased wear and durability as compared to a stamped coupler design. Cast couplers are typically more expensive than stamped couplers, but typically provide greater durability and longevity.
Q: What is a straight tongue coupler?
A: A straight tongue coupler is typically used on smaller trailers that have a straight tube or channel extending from the front of the trailer. These couplers are typically bolted on, although weld-on versions are also available. The standard ball size for straight line couplers is usually 1 7/8” and 2”. However, there are some 2 5/16” models available. Weight capacity for straight tongue couplers typically range from 3,500 – 12,500 lbs.
Q: What is an A-frame coupler?
A: An A-frame coupler is used on trailers with a triangle or “A” frame trailer tongue. These couplers are typically welded to the trailer frame. A-frame couples are designed for multiple types of trailers using either a 2” or 2 5/16” ball size. Weight capacity for A-frame couplers typically range from 5,000 – 15,000 lbs.
Q: What is an adjustable tongue coupler?
A: An adjustable tongue coupler is used with a channel that welds to the trailer tongue. It can be raised or lowered on the channel mount depending on what height you may need to ensure level towing of your trailer. Adjustable tongue couplers are available in 2” and 2 5/16” ball sizes, and typical weight capacity ranges from 7,000 – 20,000 lbs.
Q: What is a flat mount coupler?
A: A flat mount coupler typically mounts to a flat metal plate that is welded to the frame of the trailer. Flat mount couplers are most often used as an alternative to tow rings, more often in reference to pintle/drawbar eyes used on heavy trailers. The typical weight range for a flat mount coupler is from 14,000 – 25,000 lbs.
Q: What capacity coupler should I buy for my trailer?
A: You will need to find the gross trailer weight rating (GTWR) of your trailer. If the GTWR is not marked on the trailer, you should contact the trailer manufacturer. The capacity rating of the coupler must exceed the GTWR of the trailer.
Q: What is a fold-away hinge kit?
A: These hinge kits are designed to be used with straight tongue couplers on boat trailers. They fit on a trailer tongue or tubing that is either 3”x3” or 3”x4”. They bolt on to the tube and can be folded away by pulling the clip then removing the pin. They provide the advantage of saving space by folding the tongue away for storage in a convenient place of your choice.
Q: I recently had a small collision that damaged my coupler. Can I repair my coupler or should I replace it?
A: Various replacement parts are available for many couplers. Your choice of repair or replacement will depend on which coupler you have and what specific part was damaged. Another consideration may relate to whether your coupler was a bolt-on or weld-on style coupler. My straight tongue coupler is loose when it’s latched to my hitch ball. I already tightened the lock nut underneath the clamp mechanism, but that didn’t fix it. What should I do? If you already tightened the lock nut and that didn’t resolve the loose fit, then the coupler’s internal parts are likely worn and need replacement. There are latch repair kits available for most couplers.
Q: How do I maintain my coupler?
A: The most important part of maintenance is to keep the ball pocket and mechanism clean. In addition, the following procedures should be performed at least annually: Check welds and mounting bolt torque. Grease the ball pocket. Oil the pivot points with SAE 30 motor oil. Inspect any retaining pins and replace if damaged or missing.
