Not true.

The size of the coupler is determined by the manufacturer and done so according to the industry towing standards. Yes, you could special order or change yourself a 2 5/16 coupler on these smaller trailers. However 2 5/16 ball/couplers are typically reserved for the 10,000 lb. equalizer hitch set ups.

Tow responsibly with no more than what the towing vehicle is rated for, use electric brakes and controller where required and balance the load on the trailer for the correct tongue weight on the towing vehicle.

Most importantly SLOW DOWN. Regardless of your towing vehicle it will handle and brake differently then it does without towing a trailer.
