Husky Towing 87070
2 in inside channel · 1⅞ in ball
2,000 lb maximum gross trailer rating
Review matching productIdentify Husky 87070–87081 Straight & A-Frame Trailer Couplers
Trying to identify an older or damaged Husky trailer coupler? The Husky number, hitch-ball marking and shape of the trailer tongue distinguish the correct replacement. The 87070–87076 range mounts around a straight tongue channel, while 87077, 87080 and 87081 are welded A-frame couplers. A similar-looking wedge latch does not establish a matching rating or fit.
Match the straight-channel coupler number
| MPN | Ball size | Inside width | Max GTW |
|---|---|---|---|
| 87070 | 1⅞ in | 2 in | 2,000 lb |
| 87071 | 1⅞ in | 2½ in | 2,000 lb |
| 87072 | 1⅞ in | 3 in | 2,000 lb |
| 87073 | 2 in | 2 in | 3,500 lb |
| 87074 | 2 in | 2½ in | 3,500 lb |
| 87075 | 2 in | 3 in | 3,500 lb |
| 87076 | 2 in | 3 in | 6,000 lb |
The 87070, 87071 and 87072 all use a 1⅞-inch ball and have a 2,000 lb maximum GTW rating; the inside widths are 2, 2½ and 3 inches respectively. The 87073–87075 group uses a 2-inch ball at 3,500 lb, again with 2-, 2½- and 3-inch channels. Part 87076 shares the 3-inch channel and 2-inch ball combination but has a 6,000 lb maximum rating.
Recognize Husky's welded A-frame designs
| MPN | Ball size | Max GTW | Mounting design |
|---|---|---|---|
| 87077 | 2 in | 5,000 lb | 50° A-frame, weld-on |
| 87080 | 2 5⁄16 in | 10,000 lb | 50° A-frame, weld-on |
| 87081 | 2 5⁄16 in | 14,000 lb | 50° A-frame, weld-on |
87077 is the 5,000 lb A-frame model for a 2-inch ball; 87080 and 87081 are 2 5⁄16-inch ball models with 10,000 lb and 14,000 lb ratings. They are made for compatible 50-degree trailer A-frames with a jack cutout; no inside straight-channel width applies to this design.
Never interchange hitch-ball diameters. A coupler designed for a 1⅞-inch ball must not be used on a 2-inch ball, and a 2-inch coupler is not a substitute for a 2 5⁄16-inch version. Towing capacity is limited by the lowest-rated component in the system, including the vehicle, receiver, ball mount, hitch ball, coupler and trailer.
Replacement identification checklist
- Find the complete part number. Look for an 87070–87081 number or original documentation, not only the Husky name on the latch.
- Read the ball-size marking. Verify the original coupler's approved hitch ball and inspect for wear or deformation before choosing another model.
- Measure the inside channel. For a straight coupler, compare the tongue with 2-, 2½- or 3-inch openings. Do not use this measurement to identify a 50-degree welded A-frame model.
- Compare the maximum GTW. The 87075 and 87076 fit the same nominal channel width and ball size but have different 3,500 lb and 6,000 lb ratings.
- Examine the mounting and latch. Check welds or fasteners, safety pin, retainer chain, tongue damage and corrosion. Do not substitute one repair kit or latch assembly without exact manufacturer compatibility.
- Confirm the replacement's installation requirements. A welded A-frame coupler may require professional installation and inspection. Never select a coupler solely by matching hole count or finish.

If the worn or missing item is a locking pin or a ball mount rather than the coupler, see our DeadBolt coupler lock identification, CURT latch safety pin identification and Husky ball mount identification. Check each item's specifications separately rather than assuming components pair together.
