I have the same exact scoring.
You do have a lot of angle on yours. Have you tried moving the L brackets up a notch and removing several washers?

I have spoken with them. They were unable to resolve my issue. I provided all the information requested and everything they had me do were things I've already done many times.

It's not an issue of lube, though I do use some. It's that the angled ball doesn't allow for any room for the coupler to come down diagonally to get underneath the ball. The greater the angle the...

No, the issue persists. No one has been able to solve it. I did get a new truck so at least towing is more pleasurable.

I should add that my coupler doesn't look anything like the picture. The picture shows the latch being pulled straight up against the ball. My latch slides at a diagonal angle down and in towards the...

There is no way to adjust this coupler. I can couple/uncouple when I'm aligned properly and don't have more than 5 washers. With less washers the truck doesn't need to be aligned to the trailer. ...

But the bars are not the issue here nor have they ever been. It's latching the coupler. The slope is so minor you likely wouldn't notice it without a level. And that's only necessary to ensure...

How critical is it that the bars be parallel to the frame? My bars are not but I have good weight distribution. If I move the L brackets down one notch the bars would be parallel but not have...

I found the issue. The truck has to be perfectly aligned with the trailer or it won't couple.

I have no problem getting the bars on. It's getting the coupler to engage. Whatever that thing is called that slides down in under the ball.

I have a drop shank and the trailer is perfectly level on the current position. Though I did also try the next lower position and it was just as bad.

equal-i-zer near impossible to hitch with more spacer washers

I've towed successfully with the 10k equal-i-zer and my nissan titan. I had it setup perfectly. Then I got a new truck, Ram 2500, and a trailer that sits higher. Now I find it extremely difficult...

I'm not sure I understand how a new truck would change the height of the trailer? The height of the trailer is the same hitched or unhitched. If I have a taller truck and don't lower the hitch head...

We've reversed our decision and decided to hold off on a new trailer. Instead we're going to use our funds on a new truck.

Thanks for the feedback. I think at this point we are going to look into trading ours in for a cougar. Specifically the 26DBHWE. It fits most of our needs and the price is right.

Steep driveways, pulling in and out of gas stations, pot holes, anything in the highway that can cause it to bounce too much. Speed bumps.

2 steps. Sometimes at home if I need to get in it I don't even pull the steps out. Just put one foot up and grab the side and pull myself in.

Hitch/Shank hitting the ground

We bought our 2015 hideout earlier this year. I thought it rather odd that the A frame was welded on the bottom of the frame which puts the coupler closer to the ground. To couple and keep it level...
