Coupler Class III 2in Ball 3in Channel 5000

The REESE Coupler Class III 2in Ball 3in Channel 5000 is a heavy-duty trailer coupling system engineered for vehicles requiring a solid, reliable connection for towing applications. This Class III coupler is rated for 5000 lbs of towing capacity and features a 2-inch ball mount with a 3-inch channel design, constructed from steel with a zinc oxide protective finish to resist corrosion during extended outdoor use and storage.

The specifications of this REESE coupler translate directly to practical performance benefits. The 5000 lb capacity rating matches the towing requirements of mid-range trucks, SUVs, and utility vehicles operating on highways and rural routes. The 2-inch ball diameter is a standard specification that ensures compatibility with most Class III receiver hitches, while the 3-inch channel depth provides structural rigidity under load, reducing lateral movement and vibration during towing. Steel construction with zinc oxide finish offers durable corrosion resistance, particularly important for operators working in humid, salt-air, or wet environments where standard finishes degrade rapidly.

This coupler is designed for operators who need dependable trailer connection hardware for work trucks, emergency response vehicles, off-road recovery operations, and commercial towing fleets. The Class III rating positions it as a midrange solution—suitable for trailers, equipment haulers, and light to medium-duty cargo operations where consistent, failure-free coupling performance is non-negotiable. The zinc oxide finish makes this unit particularly valuable for seasonal or year-round outdoor deployment.

REESE couplers are recognized throughout the towing industry for straightforward engineering and proven reliability in field conditions. This Class III model with 5000 lb capacity sits in a category widely specified for utility and commercial applications where failure is not an option. Proper installation to the vehicle's Class III receiver hitch is essential; ensure the hitch assembly meets DOT and SAE specifications before connecting any trailer.
