Best 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Trailer Hitch Locks

Clearance around the Tesla Model Y hitch receiver is tight but this anti-rattle hitch lock fit perfectly, even after torquing it to spec. The lock mechanism on the left comes very close to the 7-pin connector but it doesn’t touch and the lock rotates freely around the pin. Product appears to be of high quality.

This is a brilliant designed anti-rattle hitch receiver. Easy to install, it both locks your hitch and prevents any shaking from bumps and hard turns. I use it primarily with the Reesa Cargo Carrier, and the carrier is completely locked into the hitch. Also kudos on the great video showing how it works and install instructions. Highly recommended.

I purchased this for my 2020 Lexus NX 300h along with a wiring kit and a traier hitch. I had the wiring and hitch equipment installed at a local auto shop, and I've been pleased with all the equipment. I purchase this product as an accessory and it works well. I was also pleased with the E-trailer order and delivery process. I would definitely order from E-trailer again!

Arrived quickly. Rack mounted easily. Trying to use an alternate locking hitch pin did not work out well so I’ve changed it for the Thule brand locking pin

I found this product to be as advertised. Solid, well made. I chose this one, because I needed to be sure my Bacchetta Giro recumbent would fit it. The product was easier to install than it was for me to figure how to adjust it, so that my recumbent would fit it — mainly because of the seat and the other gear I had on the bike. I didn’t want to have to remove/move any gear every time I wanted to transport the bike. But once I figured that out, the setup is golden. It’ll be easy to get the bike on and off. Also, because I have only one recumbent to transport, I can access the hatchback without taking the bike off the rack! Thumbs up!

Works well. Bolts through Hitch receiver so you can snug it down to avoid rattling. Locking cap just spins around unless unlocked, so about impossible to remove.

I had this hitch on my Jeep for 10 years. When the Jeep went south I got a Tacoma but wanted to put the Orange Stinger on the new truck. I had no idea they even made different length pins. My old one was too short. Found this guy on etrailer and it is long enough, and then some. Looks like padlock design is easier to use than the flush button end thingy I had before. The rubber dust cover I am not so sure it will be there for long as it just semi-snuggly slides over the end. But I am happy with this pin so far.

When purchasing the item I was unaware the country of origin was China. Not trusting Chinese quality I’ll search for another unit to use for heavy towing.

I use this lock on the my Brophy 7 inch hitch adapter that is on my bike rack. Works! Easy on and off. No rattles or play after a year of use in rain, snow and sunshine cause it is so rugged. And I don't see how you could cut it off. You would need a torch. So it gives me security peace of mind on the road and overnight in hotel parking lots.

Quality construction. The bolt is stainless and much thicker than other entitle pins of this design. The holder for the nut was a little large for my accessory but it’s plastic so it was easy enough to trim with tin snips and a sanding block. Does an excellent job of stopping any rattle or movement of the hitch accessory.

Fast shipping. Quality of locking pin and cable feel great.

Excellent product, especially for the price. My only complaints are that it can't be unlocked with one hand, as it will just spin with the key without holding the body and that the key is captive until relocked. Not big deals, but I'm old enough and my vehicle is low enough, that it requires getting on my knees.

I love the product, unfortunately the threads do not last. This is my second one in just over 2 years and will need a replacement before this biking season is over. Threads are easily damaged by overtightening, but if you don't get it tight enough the bike rack wobbles.

The unit itself seems like it should work well. I've installed it, but haven't loaded up the cargo carrier. As some of the other reviews indicated, the o-ring (to keep water out of the lock from the pin shaft) was broken upon receipt of the product. I was able to find and install a new o-ring on the pin, however the clearance between the tightener nut and the shaft of the pin is so tight that it catches the o-ring and won't allow the nut to pass. I got the smallest o-ring I thought I could get over the shaft and it fit nicely into the slot for the o-ring on the shaft. When trying to remove the tightening nut, it ripped the o-ring, which I suspect is what happens to the OEM o-ring. My solution is now to just put some grease at the end of the shaft to minimize moisture in the lock mechanism. Messy but the only viable option, since the basic functional design seems solid. Just a poor "detail" design that doesn't affect the basic functionality.

Fast shipping & great quality. Would buy again!

High quality! Should last for many years!

I have not yet had a chance to use this lock as I just got it after getting home from a long road trip. However, I have other MasterLock locks for my flat tow set up. I really like these which is why I got this one to replace an older lock that had some rust issues. I'll follow-up once I get some extended use.

It's easy to lock and unlock, but since I'm only using it with 1 vehicle, I'll probably just leave it attached. Even with the dust cover, I figured it was a good idea to squirt lubricant into the keyhole. Along with the ball-hitch lock I got from etrailer (also excellent) it provides peace of mind.

This is probably one of the best stainless hitch locks of the regular through-pin style locks. It installs flush, and uses a solid pin. The locking side is also beefier than most, and sits tighter and deeper on the pin than most other pin locks - making it harder to try and hammer it off, or getting at the pin with a cutting tool. The lock uses large solid ball bearings for the lockup, and a disk style locking mechanism, which is harder to pick without specialty tools. So overall, one of the best regular pin style locks. We towed a 6'x12' that weighed around 6,000lbs from PA to FL without any issues with the pin-lock. We actually had to disconnect our trailer along the way, a few times, and the pin was easy to work with, and the lock really smooth. Don't hesitate to get it.

I purchased this Bulldog pin for my 2015 Yukon with a factory installed hitch. In this application this Bulldog hitch pin fits very well. I selected this pin due to its simple design and the generally compact diameter of the lock cylinder and the pin's beveled head-end. The lock cylinder diameter is import since GM penetrates the nominal 2" ID hitch tube through a steel bulkhead. There is only 7/16" distance between the hitch tube's nominal 5/8" clearance hole edge and the face of the factory bulkhead. Also, the hitch tube is fillet welded to the bulkhead. Thus, both the pin head and the lock cylinder need to have some relief (i.e. the bevel on the pin head-end) in order to clear this external bulkhead weld. Most of the above fitment concerns are overcome by the Bulldog pin's grip length being greater than that listed on the etrailer site (and in their videos as well). Specifically, the grip length is 2-11/16" rather than the listed 2-1/2". See the attached photos. Note that in the first photo the lock cylinder is firmly seated on the ball locking end of the pin. In the photo note that the cylinder is fully engaged and locked, which would not be possible if the cylinder was not fully seated on the pin end. The first photo shows the dial caliper fully closed and properly reading zero. Also note that the GM hitch tube is 2-9/16" square (outside dim.), thus technically a 2-1/2" pin grip length would be inadequate in this application. Since I have a metal turning lathe I was prepared to machine the pin a slight amount in order to make it fit. Thankfully, this was not necessary since the grip length is 3/16" greater than advertised. The pin is Chinese made in "stainless steel". I did test the pin with a magnet and it does appear to be austinitic (high enough in Ni and Cr alloys) since the magnet had no attaction to the pin. I do like that the lock cyklinder has an internal o-ring to help keep out "road splatter". I also gave the lock cylinder a short squit of WD-40. In sum, a well designed rugged product at a fair price.

Awesome!! Online shopping at your site was very easy and having the detailed measurements right with the pictures helped out a lot. I purchased this lock to lock my new Curt bike rack onto my Subaru CrossTrec. I first contacted Curt and they said that they did not have locks. I came across your website and found this lock that fits perfectly. Item arrived a day early even with the Memorial Day Holiday. Thanks

Just over 1 month and this lock has already failed. Simply unscrewing the bolt 1 time with the lock on the other side still engaged gave enough pressure against the receiver to pop it off. Very dismayed as it seems to be the only hitch lock compatible with the curt 5 bike rack.

Fit is perfect for a 2.5” receiver.

I hate this lock. Why? Because it requires three hands to operate it, and so it's incredibly difficult to install it by yourself. You need one hand for the key, another hand to hold the lock end, and a third hand to push the non-locking end tight against the receiver. I had a locking pin then went with a trailer I sold, and I wish I knew which brand it was, so I could get another.

I have two curt channel hitches on two different trucks and it was hard to find a quality extra long hitch lock. These work perfect!

I just received the trailer locks and they were the perfect size and good quality.

The hitch lock spans my new 2.5 inch receiver with about 1/4 inch to spare and is now lockable. The original hitch tite pin is the same length but the lock on this item locks from the side and makes better use of the pin.

Fits my Hollywood Destination II rack perfectly

My wife and I bought a set for our utility trailer in 2018, and we were very pleased… We still use it. Last year, we bought the same set for our new boat trailer, and it works perfectly. I’d highly recommend this package.

Great kit with common keys to keep our trailers close by and under our control.

Fast delivery.. They look heavy duty!

Works as expected. Fits my Pro Series Adjustable ball mount perfectly.

Works with Yakima EXO and Lexus LX600 if you replace the Yakima anti rattle nut. Voids Yakima warranty, but anti rattle nut can be restored. Ucaveat, you may need to use only one of the two washers, I chose the lock washer

Too soon to see if has any durability. It did stop the rattle.

So far so good no one has stolen the rack yet. E-trailer is great! Fast shipping , good prices and easy to track my orders, I buy all my car racks, trailer stuff from e-trailer!

This is a good lock. I actually didn’t need to order one, though. A lock was included with my t-bar load assist.

awesome lock set! The keyed alike hitch pin and cable with 4 keys are a great design idea. Also, the lock for the hitch pin can just be snapped onto the pin and secured without having the key inserted. I also have a Rocky Mounts Rack and that requires the key to be inserted and in the unlocked position to secure it on the hitch pin. Hollywood does it better!

Perfect! ETrailer will always be my go-to source for trailering needs. I find the videos and descriptions incredibly helpful and the customer service is the best.

Last year I bought a flat tow set up for my jeep and Rv E trailer delivered me a great set up Hitch. Hitch locks. Cables. Demco braking system. Base plate and plugs. Easy to install and great towing

The locks worked well for Fastway trailer hitch.
