[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 424531, member: 7376"] You wouldn't believe how many times in a week I see stuff like this. It's mind boggling to be honest. I've seen 1 7/8" couplers forced onto 2" balls. Just today had a guy picking up his equipment at the shop. Drives up onto the back of the trailer, trailer flips up and takes out the back door on his Escalade. I run out there to help but the damage was already done-and it was bad. Trailer had a 2 5/16" coupler. He had a 1 7/8" ball. I mentioned to him and he said that he didn't know there was any difference. I advised him to buy the right size ball, but he just went on about his business, loaded (and mashed the tailgate again), tied down and left. Probably embarassed. Happens often. And I keep wondering to myself....really? I mean people make mistakes and I'm plenty guilty but there is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. [/QUOTE]
