Best way to secure a Max Coupler hitch when leaving the trailer in …
Dec 1, 2020 · I don't use a Max Coupler but the issue applies to other types of couplers as well. My coupler assembly and chains are attached to the trailer using 2 hitch pins. I remove the whole assembly, including chains, and just lock it all inside the trailer. Even without a coupler of any kind a thief could still pull your trailer away using just the ...
Anyone ditched a Max Coupler in favor of a pintle?
Apr 17, 2022 · The Max Coupler isn't doing anything different than a ball hitch when backing up, ball hitches articulate in the same ways, the difference is the Max Coupler has more articulation range. It's not like the Max Coupler is a wet noodle that just bends and flexes as you reverse.

Sep 15, 2019 · On-road the max coupler hitch also has a much better range of motion and makes tight back-up turning possible where a traditional ball hitch wouldn't do. U-turns are also much easier and possible with the max coupler. I'm all for relatively inexpensive items giving you an edge that you wouldn't have with standard products.
I have a REALLY stupid Max-Coupler question...
Oct 26, 2012 · Been using a Max-Coupler for a couple years and it's never been an issue. Not as quick as a ball coupler sometimes, but your talking a few minutes. I actually have never used either method in the video; I always unhook the trailer receiver. To hook it back up, just line up the TV and then rock the trailer forward and slide it in.

Oct 23, 2017 · I purchased my Max Coupler in April of 09 from AT and put many thousands of miles on it. It was one of the original series and I used it until 2016. At that point the shaft on the trailer end, even with frequent greasing, became so sloppy, I felt it unsafe to use.
Max Coupler, Lock n Roll, or - Expedition Portal
Sep 1, 2014 · What possible logic can you use to "NOT" have an off-road hitch--ie: Lock & Roll/Max Coupler/360° Pintel-Will you feel justified in saying--Nah, I just use a ball hitch--never had any reason for one of them fancy critters ! Kinda like saying-"Nope, I don't have lockers, never needem, never will"-
Max coupler questions....concerns - Expedition Portal
Aug 19, 2019 · I purchased a max coupler hitch last year. I believe it to be the latest edition. How easy should it be to swivel? I can easily spin mine with one finger. But im concerned about too much play in the vertical. For some reason i have a difficult time tightening mine up. I put the bolt through the yoke and thread on what they are calling a crush ...
Pintle vs Lock&Roll vs Max Coupler | Expedition Portal
Oct 24, 2011 · the Lock-n-roll and Max coupler will be much tighter/ predictable than the pintle system. After doing a little research I will probably be going with the Max coupler on my trailer. The Lock-N-Roll works great in 99% of the situations but there have been a few that can/will cause the joint to bind.
Pintle Vs. Standard ball Hitch what are your thoughts?
Aug 18, 2014 · For now I have no need for a max coupler type setup on my trailer. As a disclaimer I never wheeled a trailer. I will use the M101 for mostly fire roads and highways. What are your thoughts on Pintle set ups vs a regular ball hitch? All insight is appreciated

Sep 15, 2019 · I have driven 1/4 and 1/2 ton trailers all over the state and the Rubicon trail 3-4 times a summer for many years. A ball hitch is great on highways but would never work on that trail. I used pintle hitches for years, and the articulate really well, but do tend to clang and push/pull bang at...
