Bike Rack Lock Solution for Recessed Hitch on Rivian R1S

Question

Question:

Hi, Im trying to mount a Saris Freedom 4-Bike Hitch Mount mounted on a new Rivian R1S. I use the Saris Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock but the pin is not long enough. The problem is that the hitch on the R1S has a recessed opening such that the bolt head on the pin is completed recessed into the hitch I cant tighten with a wrench. It I put a washer on the pin to keep the bolt head out of the recess, the pin isnt long enough to get lock connected on the other side. Do you have any other locking anti-rattle hitch pins that might fit? Thanks

Expert Reply:

Since the Saris Freedom 4-Bike racks use a threaded insert for the hitch bolts you technically remove that insert and use the Let's Go Aero hitch lock part # 63232 since it has ends that will stick out past that recessed hitch pin hole spot you have on your Rivian R1S truck.

Hey Dave yes, the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier #C18113 is perfectly acceptable for your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and will work great with a 2" class III trailer hitch. I'm not too sure what you plan on hauling, but you'll need to keep it…

I do have a solution for you, but the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier #e98874 is not designed to be used on the back of an RV. Generally speaking, folding carriers are not ideal because they do not stand up too well to the extra stress exerted by the…
