posted 11-02-2003 11:18 AM ET (US) I have always been annoyed at the availability of both the 1-7/8' and 2' ball and couplers. My own theory of how this came to be is different than Jim's.![Inch Inch](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1025/0137/products/session09_08_8cd597c8-7504-477a-a687-5c8cd4cec01c.jpg?v=1580784302)

I believe the 1-7/8' size was the original size for ball hitches back when even the biggest car trailer was not that big in comparison to what we see now. At some point the 2' was introduced with a greater capacity.

The annoying part is that both sizes are still sold. There is no reason to have these two sizes apart from supporting old hardware that's already out there. All balls and couplers should simply be 2' at this point in time. Look at a 1-7/8' coupler and a 2' coupler side by side. There is no difference in the cost of manufacturing a basic 2' coupler and a 1-7/8' coupler. And of course there would be absolutely no disadvantage to having a 2' coupler on even the smallest trailer.
This difference has frustrated me numerous times over the years. It usually occurs when a boat is sold and the buyer shows up with the wrong size hitch. I have seen this time and time again.
This reminds me of a scene I witnessed on board a Washington State ferry making the Bainbridge Island to Seattle run one Sunday night just last month. On board was a 1986 Outrage 18 being towed by a Ford pickup truck. As it happened, I fell in directly behind this rig as we disembarked onto Alaskan Way on the Seattle waterfront.

I noticed that it was being towed very slowly and haltingly. We made it only one block on Alaskan way before the rig stopped entirely because the trailer had come off the hitch. It was now blocking 50 percent of the cars trying to get off the ferry. I jumped out and ran forward to help them get it hitched beck up and noticed that their tongue jack was lowered.

Apparently the owners were a father and son team and they told me the ball on their hitch was 1-7/8” but the trailer had a 2” coupler. They were towing the trailer with the tongue jack down because they knew it was going to keep hopping off the ball! I assume they had a very tender drive home.
