Softride QuietRide Tightening Hitch Pin Review

Review of a Softride QuietRide Tightening Hitch Pin

Today we are going to cover part number SR25219 from Softride. This is their QuietRide Tightening Hitch Pin. Some features of this hitch pin are: It has got a stainless steel hitch pin brass lock with a rubber dust cover, which helps protect the lock it can be used on any hollow 2-inch ball mount and this basically eliminates the clanking sound while towing. And it comes with three components: the hitch pin itself the lock and of course, the keys and then this part here, which actually sits inside of the ball mount itself. That is what actually clamps the ball mount to the side of the hitch and eliminates the clanking sound. And what we will do is go ahead and install it on a typical ball mount and show you how it looks.

The first step to get ready is get this part ready to go inside the ball mount. And there are two different ways you can actually install this. This comes in two pieces, and you can have it come in two different widths of ball mounts. You can install it that way to make it wider, up and down. And flip it over to make it a little bit shorter. And then this whole assembly slides into the drawbar. And then you need to line the threads up with the pin hole. We have got our ball mount installed in a 2-inch receiver hitch. The next step involved is to the pin and then thread it in. And then before you tighten it down, install the lock. And that just slides on the other side. Once you have it locked in position, then you can go ahead and tighten up the bolt. And you can see here that it is clamped down into place and it will not move. It does take out a lot of the noise that is associated with towing. And to take the lock off, loosen the lock back up, and then unlock the lock. And then you can remove your pin, and you are done. All right, that covers our review of part number SR25219 from Softride.
