  • Locking Hitch Pin Recommendation for a Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack
    I believe you're looking for a more secure hitch pin solution, in which I have just what you need! Check out the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitch - Flush # e98882 This is a locking hitch pin that will lock through your hitch receiver to secure your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # TH83JV. If you have thicker hitch walls on your hitch, then you'd want to use the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches # e98881, which is an 1" longer...

  • Long Adjustable Ball Mount For 11,000 lb Trailer
    So there isn't a 6 inch hitch extender for a 2 inch hitch that has an 11,000 lb capacity and 1,200 lb tongue weight capacity, and hitch extenders also reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50 percent, so they are generally just used for accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. That means the best option we can offer is a ball mount with an extended reach, which may work for you depending on the distance you need. The longest ball mount that has the capacity you need is from BulletProof...

  • How to Use the Thule T2 Bike Rack with a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch
    You are on the right track. The only way we have that will allow you to use the Thule T2 Pro Xtr Bike Platform Rack part # TH69TX with the 2.5" receiver tube opening on your truck would be with adapter. For this, I recommend the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender part # HR26. This adapter offers both a reducer from 2.5" to 2" and an extension of 7" from the center of each hitch pin hole. This 7" extension will have more than enough room for the shank of the T2 to securely rest inside. It...

  • Hitch Receiver and Coupler Trigger Lock Compatible with Toyota Factory Receiver Width
    The 2018 Toyota Tundra factory hitch is built up around the pin so it is wider than usual and will not fit the traditional 2 inch hitch pin like found in # 2848DAT. You will simply need the longer hitch pin. The Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Extra Long - Flush Design for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RH5-XL will work well for you and give you adequate space. If you want one that codes to your truck key, you can use the Bolt Lock # BL7023584. If you want the coupler lock as well then you...

  • Longer Hitch Pin for a Yakima Bike Rack Being Used on a 2024 Toyota Tacoma w/the Thicker 2" Receiver
    Thanks for the pictures John! I reached out to Yakima and they are aware of the double wall receiver on the new Toyota's but do not have a solution for it as of (09/12/2024). The only solution I have for you today is to drill out the threads on your bike rack and use the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock item # e98881. This is designed to fit both 2" and 2-1/2" receivers so the diameter will be the same and the added length will get you past Toyota's double walled receiver.

  • Is Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount Overkill For Smaller Trailer
    Hey Manny, Even with a smaller trailer, it is not overkill and you can absolutely benefit using the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # 325-GH-12001. A trailer, regardless of size, is still going to be rigid, bounce, and affect the ride of your tow vehicle and the trailer. So adding some cushioning like you get with the Glyder is definitely a good idea, and something I recommend. So if you do decide to go with the ball mount you'll also need a hitch ball, either...

  • Parts Needed To Tow Nucamp Tab 360 Camper With 2022 Ford Ranger
    Hey Jesse, Cool name. Correct spelling too lol. You came to the right place. I will go into this assuming your 2022 Ranger has no trailer hitch or trailer wiring connection of any kind. So first, for the trailer hitch I recommend the Curt Class 3 Hitch # C13417. It has a 2" receiver and 6,000 lb towing capacity. More than enough for your nucamp tab 360 which looks like would weigh between 3,000 and 4,000 lbs max depending how you have it loaded. Then for your wiring harness use the...

    We have exactly what you are looking for.

You can get two of these sets keyed alike by selecting keyed alike from the drop down menu on the product page, and changing the quantity to 2.

  • What Hitch Pin Will Work With etrailer Class 3 Hitch e98902
    Hello Paul, thanks for reaching out. The etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e98902 has a standard 5/8" hitch pin hole. Any hitch pin for a 2" hitch should be this same 5/8" diameter. That diameter is very common. A hitch pin such as part # e98881 is what I recommend to go with the # e98902 hitch. What hitch pin did you buy? Was it not a 5/8" diameter pin?

  • What Size Locking Hitch Pin Fits Different Class Trailer Hitches
    On a Class I or II 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch you will need to use a 1/2 inch hitch lock such as # e98879. This lock has a 2 inch span which is the usable length of the pin. I have included a link to a video review for you. For a Class III or IV 2 inch trailer hitch as well as Class V 2-1/2 inch trailer hitches you will need to use a 5/8 inch diameter pin such as # e98881 which has a span of 3-5/8 inches. I have included a link to a video review of this lock as well.

  • Solution for Replacement Key HZN LB060 For Reese Coupler Lock
    Good morning Paul; based on the HZN LB060 it sounds like you have a Reese coupler lock or hitch pin lock. Replacement keys are no longer offered for these. The best solution I have is to switch to a different lock like the Fastway # FA86-0015-318 or etrailer # e98881.

  • Does the etrailer Hitch e84ZV Come w/ a Lock?
    Hey Amber. The etrailer Hitch item # e84ZV you bought from us doesn't have any locks on it and I do not see an order for a bike rack or a locking hitch pin like item # e98881. It sounds like either you or the mechanic installed a bike rack and a locking hitch pin that locks with an Ace key. I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer of the bike rack or calling a locksmith for a replacement.

    Yes, you can Steve. The Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7420 can be folded up and stored on your motorhomes hitch when you're not using it. I recommend purchasing the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock item # e98881 to secure your tow bar from theft and the etrailer Tow Bar Cover for Blue Ox, Roadmaster, Demco, Curt, and etrailer Tow Bars item # e76FV to protect your tow bar from the elements on road grime.

    It adds some peace of mind, yes. The open cradle design of the MORryde EzStor - Bolt-On Storage Bracket for Weight Distribution Hitches # MR62ZV doesn’t lock the bars, but it does make them a lot harder to casually remove since you have to lift them out vertically. For added security, consider a small cable lock looped through the handle slots, or a pin lock like etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches # e98881.

    The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 will only fit a 1-1/4" or 2" receiver directly. You can use a Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender # HR26 that will allow for the stinger to fit on your vehicle. The stinger that holds the rack into the receiver will not work on a 2-1/2" or 3" receiver. The Curt Anti-Rattle Hitch Clamp # C87UR will take the rattle out of the extender and allow for the entire bike rack to be solid as it has its own built in anti-rattle for the 2" or 1-1/4" receivers....
