What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out the SecureLatch from CURT. It's gonna be a pintle hook/ball mount combo that you can hook up to your trailer. Whether you have a standard coupler or a lunette ring like we have right here, it can do both, so that way you don't have to buy two different ball mounts and switch them out when it's time to hook up your trailer. Either one of those, it's good to hook up and get on your way. Let's check it out.
Today we're gonna be focusing on the 2 and 1/2" hitch version with the 2" ball. So the weight capacities overall are gonna be 20,000 pounds and then for the ball it's gonna be 10,000 pounds. You can switch out the ball and get a different ball if this isn't the right size. You can go all the way up to a 2 and 5/16, that's gonna change the weight capacity to 14,000 pounds. Now, you can also just get the pintle hook if you don't want the combo.
You can get that separately as well, and it can even go up to a 2" hitch. So if that's the kind of hitch you would aim for, they have that version as well. No matter what version of this you get, they're all gonna work the same way, so let's go through the process of hooking up your trailer. First up, remove our pin, out here, then we'll back our truck up to the lunette ring, which will hit here, and you'll hear it, and it'll go down and get latched in. It latches itself automatically.
It won't be able to pop back up, so then we just replace the pin. With that in place, now I can go ahead and lower the trailer down. Seems like that auto-latch worked really well. You saw it come down through there and then pop right back up. You'll see I can't push up from the bottom, so if it popped up it wouldn't push it anywhere.
It only has that downward push there. The ring also sits nicely, down here in the hook. That's gonna sit real nice around there, and keep it probably a steady ride for you. So now we can add our pin back in to keep that secure. And then add our safe chain hooks. We can take our extra chain and hook it up on these hooks. That way it keeps it up and off the ground. Once you've parked your trailer, and it's time to unhook, just pop that pin again. That way, we can flip this latch like this, and now when we go to lift this part up it's gonna hit there and flip back over. Remember it won't go back up this way, so you can't just lift the trailer this way. We have to flip this over, and then it will release it. I'm gonna pop this pin out and show you how this moves around. Y'all have already seen the lock position and how you get it to unload, but you can actually, if you're gonna just use the ball mount for a standard coupler, if you can get this out of the way there's going to be two sets of holes I can show you here, that the pin's gonna go through. So we can just line up this one right there, put our pin back in, and now the latch is gonna stay out of the way. So then you can use your standard trailer coupler on your ball here, and just use it like you would normally. We loosened up these bolts just to show you its adjustability. So wherever you need this to be on this back plate, you can slide it and then tighten it back down. Once you figure out where you need it along these channels you can tighten these back down. Make sure you torque them so it stays in the place. Look at the instructions and see where you need to torque it to. Now you

I like it. The sliding portion asking torque of 4 bolts to hold potentially high tongue weight doesn’t sit too well with me but I do like the design of the secure latch hitch.

The torque specs are based off of the grade of hardware that is used to mount the hook to the adjustment plate. This is what will make the unit secure to haul the loads that it is rated for.
