Highlights
- 11,000 lbs GTW for Heavy Loads: Handles large campers, boats, or off-road trailers with 1,100 lbs tongue weight capacity.
- Full Articulation for Off-Road Control: Rotates 360° and pivots side to side and up and down to handle rough terrain without jarring.

- Quiet, Slop-Free Ride: Tight fit reduces rattle, jerking, and noise compared to pintle or ball couplers.
- Fast Hookup at Any Angle: Wide range of motion makes connecting easier even when vehicle and trailer aren’t perfectly aligned.
- Steel Alloy Build with Corrosion Resistance: Durable black paint finish stands up to road grime and harsh conditions.
Features to know about
Stays Locked In Over Rough Ground: Interlocking Articulating Design
This setup is made for off-road towing where a standard ball coupler can rattle loose or pop free. The Lock N Roll hitch uses vehicle-side latching plates that interlock with the trailer-side coupler for a tight, secure hold. That close-fit connection keeps the trailer from separating, even when the terrain gets rough. It’s rated for 11,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 1,100 lbs maximum tongue weight, giving you solid capacity with a smoother tow over unpredictable trails.
Smooth Ride Across Bumps and Angles: Fully Articulating Motion
A built-in bearing inside the head unit allows for 360 degrees of rotation when paired with the matching coupler. The connection also moves side to side and up and down, softening road shock and making turns and uneven ground easier to manage. Because the hitch and coupler pivot together, it reduces rattling, jerking, and noise compared to pintle or ball setups. Even at awkward angles or on uneven trails, you can hitch up or disconnect quickly without binding.
Built Tough for Every Tow: Steel Alloy Construction
The hitch’s steel alloy build gives it the strength to handle repeated use in off-road or heavy-duty conditions. It’s finished in black paint to resist corrosion from moisture, mud, and road grime. The included attachment hardware secures the latching plates tightly in place, while the 2" x 2" shank fits cleanly into standard trailer hitch receivers for dependable towing every time.
Keeps Your Gear Secure: Unique Connection That Helps Deter Theft
Unlike a traditional ball coupler that fits any ball of the same size, this system only connects to another Lock N Roll component. That means your trailer can’t be hitched up by anyone without the same setup. Add a hitch pin lock or clip (sold separately) through its 5/8" pin hole to keep it locked to your receiver and you’ve got an extra layer of peace of mind when leaving your rig unattended.

Some of the backroads we drive look more like a riverbed, and we worried about the twists and turns on our conventional hitch. The Lock N Roll hitch eliminates that worry. But the best part is the ease of hook-up. The Lock N Roll hitch is more forgiving in hook-up angle, and no more beating on the trailer mechanism to get it to grip the ball. Good heavy-duty product.

We got it together with the trailer part/side; and the same: So far it resolved the problem we had. You just need to be careful when driving at speeds over 50 miles if full, because the trailer will be able to move in all axles if a sudden move/turn from your wheel; though you can add sway bars. We are glad we bought it and we may buy another one.

Quality trailer hitch. Exactly as advertised. Strong heavy steel. Good welds. Fits perfectly.
Prompt delivery. It will certainly enhance my off road trailering experience. The only modification I made was to remove the needle style zerk fitting and replaced it with a standard zerk fitting. Makes for easier lubing the joint. Glad to be rid of my restrictive ball hitch.

I always receive great customer service whenever I call etrailer. The hold time can be 5-15 minutes but the knowledge on the other end of the phone is worth waiting for. The lock n roll coupler is a proven and necessary piece of equipment if you are planning on taking your off-road trailer off the beaten path like I am.

I recently purchased a product from etrailer. I’m not much for internet purchases and contacted them to speak directly to a live person. Best call I’ve made in awhile.

Missing the pin for the vehicle side of the hitch
Katrina D.

So, this articulating trailer hitch does not come with a pin and clip for the vehicle side of the hitch. If you are wanting a plain pin and clip, I would recommend part # PC3. If you are wanting a locking hitch pin that would help protect your hitch accessories from theft, I would recommend part # BL7023582.

See what our Experts say about this Lock N Roll Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- How Does Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch 336VS501 Deter TheftThe vehicle side of the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch # 336VS501 can be locked to the vehicle's 2-inch receiver hitch using any standard pin lock such as # e98880. The mating part that bolts or welds on to the trailer # 336TS508 will only couple to the Lock N Roll system. Unlike a traditional ball coupler, which is compatible with any hitch ball of a matching size, the trailer-side Lock 'N' Roll coupler can only connect to a vehicle-side Lock 'N' Roll hitch. So your trailer cannot...
view full answer... - Do I Need a Rise/Drop for the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch for 2" Receivers Vehicle Side?Hello again Tri, Thanks for the pictures, they are most helpful. On the truck side I am seeing about 19 1/2 to the top inside part of the receiver, and on the trailer end 16" to the bottom of the trailer coupler. You will want the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch for 2" Receivers - 2-1/2" Drop/Rise - Vehicle Side - 11K # 336VS511. I know I asked questions on the answers, but I am really curios on what set-up you are putting together, so please tell =)

The Lock N Roll item # 336TS526 you were looking at isn't designed for that but I have something that is. For a 2-1/2 square tongue you'll want the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # 336TS506. This will bolt directly to the top of your trailer's tongue and provide you with Lock N Roll's unique articulating connection. You can weld it on too. You will need one of the following ball mounts to connect to the Lock N Roll item # 336TS506: Lock N Roll...

It fits a 2" hitch receiver, has no drop, and is compatible with the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Coupler item # 336TS510 you referenced. Please note that the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Coupler item # 336TS510 is designed to attach to a 2" receiver like item # E-11 that would be welded to your T@B 400's coupler.

view full answer... - Best Trailer Coupler for an ATV and Ranch Work in Hilly TerrainHey Steven, I recommend going with the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch for 2" Receivers # 336VS501 because it is a fully-articulating connection that uses pins instead of a round hitch ball connection so you can be completely confident that your trailer will stay connected to your ATV no matter the terrain. In order for this to be compatible with your trailer you'll need to replace the coupler on your trailer with one from Lock N Roll. You'll need to choose the coupler based off...

There are also fixed mounts like the # 336VS501 with no rise/drop or # 336VS511 with a 2-1/2" rise/drop.

The Lock N Roll 50-Degree A-Frame Coupler # LR76VR has a 3" wide adjustable channel with 5/8" holes spaced 2" apart on center. The Lock N Roll Trailer-Side Coupler # 336TS502 is designed for that same 3" channel and uses the same 2" hole spacing, so those two will bolt together exactly like you are wanting.

view full answer... - Compatibility of Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch With Weight Distribution SystemsUnfortunately, there isn't a way to use the # 336VS501 Lock N Roll articulating hitch while using weight distribution. The good news is that we do offer a cushioned weight distribution shank, part # AMAC1. The shank has a 10K towing/2000 tongue weight capacity, and if used with a round bar system, it offers a 3-3/8 inch drop or 6-5/8 inch rise. When used with a trunnion bar system, it offers a 2-5/8 inch drop or a 7-3/8 inch rise. I've linked to a product demonstration video featuring...
view full answer... - Is There a Grease Fitting for the Lock N Roll Articulating HitchesThere isn't a grease fitting on the Lock n Roll setups like the part # 336VS501 that you referenced. Greasing it would require manual application in the moving parts. The LMX grease like the part # L11390 is the toughest and most waterproof so that is what I would recommend.

view full answer... - Does Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch Setup Allow More SwayThe use of Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch for 2" Receivers # 336VS501 does not add sway to the setup.

The Lock N Roll coupler does not have a lock made for it, or a place where you could attach a lock. Since it is not a very common coupler and requires a special hitch to tow it, the chance of someone having a compatible hitch is unlikely as long as you keep yours locked...

You'd have to have your old coupler removed and this one welded in place of it. For the shank that slides into the hitch of your vehicle you'd want the part # 336VS501 for a fixed height solution of the part # 336VS503505 which has a three height settings.

- Does Lock N Roll Shank Prevent Need for Sway ControlThe Lock N Roll Shanks like the part # 336VS501 do not have any sway control built into them so they would not have ability to eliminate need for sway control. In general though the best best way to prevent sway is with proper trailer loading. If you can load the trailer so that the amount of tongue weight is 10 to 15 percent of total trailer weight you wouldn't need sway control.
