Trailer-Hitch Coupler Any available in Stainless Steel?

[xcsp]

Anyone know of the availability of stainless steel trailer couplers ? (Trying to go maintenance-free!)

I found one company that makes them but the measurements of the mounting holes don't match with what I currently have and re-drilling the aluminum tongue on my Triton trailer isn't an option.

Interesting idea - Painted the coupler on my Triton AC green this year to stave off the rust. Stainless would be attractive.

Thanks for the replies, looking for the coupler, not a stainless ball.

Been to both of those sites previously, no luck!

Been in contact with a company that makes the stainless couplers in a 3" width, but holes are off.

You'd think there would be some kind of common specification for mouniting holes
on the couplers.

I have painted my existing coupler, but the painted finish is no match for bathing it in road salt & grime all winter.
