4 pins/locks, 1 key...Outstanding! Very Pleased!



by:

These seem to be a very good product this is what I needed to finish the job. Plus gives me the sense of security.



by:

Works great! It’s nice to use one key to lock and unlock all four pins.



by:

Everything needed to set up our Jeep Wrangler for flat towing. A very straightforward installation, and great customer support!



by:

this lockset is what I need to keep my tow bar secured to my tow vehicle and RV.



by:

Nice to get it all in one number.

Excellent service and quality produci yjamk you much

Solid lock pins - all keyed the same! Great product at a reasonable price. Shipping was very fast. Thanks etrailer!



by:

The locks were perfect and delivered ahead of time.



by:

Love my security!



by:

The product seems great, but it is the service I found incredible. One of the locks seemed to be bent iside and sometimes it stuck and sometimes it would not latch properly. I was not going to use a defective item to hold onto a new Jeep and called etrailer to see if it could be made right easily. At first they tried to see if they had one in stock that could be used as a replacement, but with the same key since all 4 are keyed the same. No luck, so etrailer called me back and they had contacted Blue Ox to have a replacement with a matching lock shipped directly to me. It showed up Fedex only a few days later. Not too often one finds service like this. Since they I have ordered more items. And will continue to do so.

Performing fine. The tow car has not detached once using these locks, Isnt that the best measure? Occasionally squirt a bit of lubricant in lick mechanism



by:

All components very well made and solid, with good finish. Delivery packaging offered good protection. Installation instructions clear.

Service from etrailer.com was excellent - questions answered fully and promptly before order placed, price promise to match other supplier prices honored, order out for delivery within 24 hours with tracking information, and e-mail sent immediately after products delivered with supplier product info and instruction PDFs all gathered together in one place.

Thanks for the very professional follow-up on the Blue Ox products I bought. In the end, I only used the set-up for about 3,000 miles before I changed my rig from a Class C towing a Jeep Wrangler using the Blue Ox parts to a Jeep Grand Cherokee towing an Airstream. Everything worked just fine for those 3,000 miles and all the parts have been sold on, practically as new, on [on-line].



by:

Nice fit and will help ensure pins do not fall out or are tampered with. Good quality.



by:

Great product that provides assurance your toad stays attached! It takes a bit longer to attach due to the locking/unlocking however these pins will not accidently loose a cotter pin and come out. Well worth the small inconvenience.



by:

Works great. Fast shipping



by:

I've had these for a year now. Went through all types of weather and haven't had any issue. Still operate smooth without fail.



by:

They work perfectly, I am very pleased.



by:

As advertised. These locks fit perfectly. Be aware that the key must be in the lock and turned to install. The key stays in unlocked position, and must be turned to locked position to remove key. This is probably best way, since once the key is out you know it's installed correctly, since key won't turn unless all the way on or off.

Great. Having all keys the same really makes hook up easy.



by:

This set is great for securing the tow bar to the base plate tabs as well as the tow bar and high-low adapter to the hitch all with one key. Convenient!



by:

Quality locks- all keyed the same- ideal for flat tow setup- I also have a hitch adapter to drop my level- the 4th lock came in handy



by:

Only gave it four because the covers are hard to get on and off. When you pull it off the whole cover comes off. One more thing I don't like they are all keyed the same but you have to use the key to put on and off the lock should be made so the lock when you put them on and not have to be turned to lock. Beside this the work great they just need to be improved That is why only four



by:

After one season of use, the larger pin locking mechanism hangs up and cannot be trusted despite keeping it clean and lubed. Will be using the second one this winter with hopes it offers better service life.



by:

I could have looked for these locks at every store in town and not found them anywhere, wasting a bunch of gas. etrailer has the best inventory on trailer and hitch items I have ever seen. They were able to 2nd day ship them to me (for a price of course) and I had them in my possession before we left on vacation. KUDOS to etrailer. AND the locks worked perfectly for what I had come up with to secure my Hi-Lift jack to my jeep.

  • Base Plates for 2011 Honda Odyssey
    For your 2011 Honda Odyssey, there are mixed reviews as to flat towing ability. Honda says it is not towable, but many people are towing it, so you will be operating outside of the manufacturer's warranty. If you don't have the touring model with transmission cooler, the Roadmaster # 1564-1 is a fit. If you don't have the touring model, then the # 1564-3 is a fit. If you are using a Roadmaster tow bar, I recommend one of these tow options. If you are using a Blue Ox tow bar, then...

  • Longest Trailer Hitch Lock for 10 Locks Keyed Alike
    The Blue Ox # BX88177 consists of two 1/2 inch diameter and 2 5/8 inch diameter pins. They are only able to have the 4 keyed alike. The measurement is 4-3/8 inches between the opening like # BX88212 which cannot be keyed alike . The only option to get all ten keyed alike is to use the DeadBolt Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Extra Long - Flush Design for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # e98881 which measures 3-5/8 inches between the outside cylinders. I've attached photos to assist.

  • Recommended Flat Towing System for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Behind 40 Foot Itasca Ellipse RV
    For your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited system to flat tow it behind your Itasca Ellipse, I recommend the following: For your base plates, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1126 which will give the front of your Jeep a clean look. It has an integrated wiring connector area and removable arms. For your tow bar, I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380 which has the safety cables.

  • Will Quick-Disconnect Padlocks for Roadmaster Tow Bars Fit Blue Ox Setup
    Hi Kurt; we haven't tested this before but it may be possible. The # RM-302 has a 1/4" shackle diameter with a shackle opening that is 3/4" wide x 1-1/4" tall. You can use these measurements to determine if it will fit your Blue Ox pins. Have you thought about using the Blue Ox Base Plate, Tow Bar Receiver, and High-Low Adapter Lock Kit # BX88177? This is specifically made for their tow bars/base plates and replaces the pins with keyed alike locking pins. It also includes locks for your...

  • Recommended Keyed Alike Locks for Blue Ox Tow Bar
    The Blue Ox Base-Plate-to-Tow-Bar Lock # BX8859 does not offer a keyed alike option. My recommendation is to use the Blue Ox Base-Plate and Receiver Lock Kit - Qty 3 # BX88101 to give you that keyed alike kit. Another option, especially if you are using a high-low adapter is to use the Blue Ox Base-Plate and Receiver Lock Kit - Qty 4 # BX88177 to get the keyed alike locks.

  • Best Weight Distribution for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and Rpod Travel Trailer
    Weight distribution cannot be used with a Class II trailer hitch. To determine the actual Class hitch you have it may say it on the hitch somewhere or in the owners manual for your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. A Class II hitch would have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening size. A Class III hitch would have a 2 inch receiver opening. I have included a link to the right that covers the differences in hitch classes for you. If you do have a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver, check the hitch...

  • Skid Wheel that Can be Used with Blue Ox Lock Kit BX88177
    I have a solution for you, but the Blue Ox Lock Kit part # BX88177 that you referenced would not fit with the Ultra Fab Roller # UF45-979020 so your best off going with a weld on skid wheel like the part # UF48-979023 that you could attach to bottom of your high low adapter.

  • Will Blue Ox Base Plate Lock Kit BX88177 Fit 2 inch Hitch
    Yes, the hitch lock of the Blue Ox Base-Plate and Receiver Lock Kit # BX88177 does fit a 2 inch hitch that has a 2-1/2 inch outer width. Your hitch being 2-1/2 inches in width overall is pretty standard.

  • Recommended Locks for Roadmaster Nighthawk Towbar and Roadmaster Baseplate
    For Roadmaster base plates and tow bars you'll want to use the # RM-304, since the Blue Ox # BX88177 is only designed for Blue Ox base plates. This kit comes with locks for the base plates and a locking hitch pin so you can secure your Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 to the RV.

  • Does the Blue Ox Base-Plate and Receiver Lock Kit Come with Five Locks
    The Blue Ox Base-Plate and Receiver Lock Kit is offered in a quantity of 2 as part # BX88359, 3 as part # BX88101, and 4 as part # BX88177. The tow bar arms will require one 1/2" lock each and the tow bar shank will require one 5/8" lock or two 5/8" locks if using a high/low adapter. If you order multiple kits you can obtain more locks but the two kits would not be keyed alike.

  • Which Replacement Pins Fit the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit on a 2008 Subaru Outback-Wagon
    If you are referring to the removable bracket arms that connect the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX3613 to the tow bar then yes they are included. If you are referring to the pins that secure the arms to tow bar then it does not come with them. Those pins generally come with the tow bar. If you are looking for some, we do carry replacement pins in a pack of 2 # BX84-0140. If you would prefer locking pins to secure your tow bar and base plate we have a pack of 4 # BX88177.
