Spend more time on the trails this spring, and less time hooking up your gooseneck trailer to your tow vehicle. The self-latching Quick Coupler self-aligns onto the ball when you get within a 5½-inch radius and funnels itself into the correct position; as you lower your trailer onto the ball, the coupler’s locking pin automatically latches around it. A release cable allows for simple unhitching. A zerk (grease fitting) provides maintenance and lubrication to the coupler and the ball, while a lock pocket helps prevent theft. The standard Quick Coupler fits most trailers; custom fits are also available.

Cost: From $289.
