Curt, supplier of a complete line of towing products and the leading manufacturer of USA-made custom-fit trailer hitches, introduced a new trailer coupler that completely does away with the traditional latch design.

The Curt QuickPin trailer coupler is the first of its kind, according to the manufacturer, and is engineered to answer the problem of complicated hinging components on a traditional latch-style coupler. Instead of a latch that is prone to rust and wear, QuickPin uses a single hitch pin to secure the coupler onto the ball. The simple pin design provides a secure vehicle-trailer connection while reducing stress, frustration, and the time it takes to hook up your trailer.

The QuickPin coupler is currently available to fit standard 2-inch diameter balls, and it can be purchased in three different trailer tongue widths: 2-, 2-1/2-, and 3-inches. To make installation easier, QuickPin also comes with pre-drilled holes to fit most existing bolt configurations.
