Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span
This did not work. I have a 12" extension with a solid shaft that goes into the receiver. I will be returning it.
Been doing quite a bit of small moves in past several month utilizing tow package on my Jeep Grand Cherokee and U-Haul ramp trailers. My Reese ball mount shank slaps around in my standard two inch receiver tube--loud. And slap can be felt up into the front seat. Researched available solutions. The etrailer anti-rattle device and lock was one of the best priced and seemed to offer a benefit of having lock for security when needed. I used it yesterday for four short local hauls and was 100% satisfied. Easy install and performed flawless. Based on my short experience with this product I give it three thumbs up.

Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Padlock Style for Class III, IV and V Trailer Hitch Receiver
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.

Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device
We're very happy with the Thule 2-bike rack (TH958) & associated locks (THSTL2)& cables (TH538XT) we bought through etrailer. This setup works great on the back of our 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee with our two adult bikes -- we would recommend this combination to others without hesitation :)
Excellent locking mechanism for bike rack

Stainless Steel Locking, Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches
VERY NICE PRODUCT STOPS ALL THE HITCH RATTLES.
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.

Bulldog Lifelong Trailer Hitch Lock for 2" Hitches - Flush - 2-1/2" Span - Stainless
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.

Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Trailer Hitches - Stainless Steel
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.

Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 1-1/4" & Combo Shanks - 7'
This is a poorly designed and thought out product. If it works in your application, typically with an aftermarket hitch and a Swagman rack, one still has to deal with an end lock which makes access difficult. Also note that according to etrailer, Swagman uses a proprietary bolt and thread, so this product can only be used on Swagman products (etrailer: "As to the lock, Swagman has a specific thread pitch for their locks."). This would not fit in my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee with factory hitch. The lock cannot be installed on the right because the bolt/lock/key is too long, or hits the plugs on the left. Luckily etrailer is allowing me to return this product. But I am left without a lock to secure my bike rack and bikes to my vehicle since other company's locks will not fit a Swagman bike rack.
While it seems this will be a very good product for some folks, it's not working for me. I have a Grand Cherokee with a factory tow package, and the lock cylinder sticks out too far to fit the Jeep bodywork around the hitch. I do like the cable, and the idea is great, but it really needs an offset lock cylinder. So, I'll keep this and look for the Master lock (hubby has a pin with an offset lock that works perfectly) to make this work. I would just ask etrailer.com to mark this item as not compatible with Grand Cherokees.

Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin for Swagman Hitch Racks
Product is a perfect fit for the Swagman XC bike rack, and it snugs the bar to the receiver so perfectly that I can stand on it and it doesn't budge. I am using it in a 2" receiver on a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, and it installed so quickly that the most time-consuming part of the job was digging through my tools for the correct size socket. E-trailer's staff was quick to acknowledge my order, quick to follow-up with shipping information, and they followed-up again after I'd received the product. I am very pleased with the service, a rare commodity nowadays, and of course the product is exactly what I needed to secure my bike rack.
Absolutely a plus for trailer bike racks.

Master Lock Hitch Receiver and Coupler Latch Lock Set - Swivel Design - 2" Hitches
Very sturdy product with a competitive price.
I have owned two of these for a year now. And both of them are still in excellent shape the one on my truck and camper stay on year round.And neither one of them show any wear at all. And both work flawlessly yet. If you want a coupler and hitch lock keyed the same. I would highly recommend you by this set. And you can't beat trailer price and shipping rates also.

Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Swivel Head Design - 2" Hitches
Have used it on about 8 deer hunting trips with my storage rack. No complaints. It does what it is supposed to do. The dirt cover keeps the key hole clean and the lock clips onto the bolt easy. Also the bolt diameter matches the hole on my 2016 Grand Cherokee perfectly without any play.
Great fit and quality. The rubber cap fits snug on the lock so it should keep dirt and water out well. The locking pin fits my 2011 Grand Cherokee just right. No more busted knuckles trying to remove the cotter pin!

Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
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.

Excellent Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, works very well!

Yakima HitchLock for Yakima Hitch Mounted Bike Racks - Same Key System (SKS)
Authentic Yakima replacement part. Better purchase options than (another site) if the locks were in stock there. Easy ordering, super fast shipping and excellent communication throughout the process. Hope I can find more stuff to buy from
Dinked it a star because the dust cap does not stay on from the moment of installing. Should be rubber and not slippery ill fitting vinyl. Snaps on the Yakima Longarm Load Extender's receiver lock screw and does it's job of securing your high priced well manufactured Yakima product.

Master Lock Hitch Receiver and Coupler Latch Lock Set - Padlock - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
The product looks to be a good quality item. But it is hard to rate something that stops bad things from happening. It does provide that first important thing: deterrence.
The lock-to-receiver is great, but the hitch lock-to-ball was too small diameter. I really didn’t like it so just stayed with my master lock.

XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span
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.

Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches
I bought these along with the Andersen 2.5 inch receiver, 10 inch drop hitch - etrailer AN86VR- and they fit perfectly. They are 2 different lengths, the slightly longer pin is used to lock the 2 pieces of the Andersen hitch and keep them together (the ball assembly and the drop), and the other slightly shorter pin is used for use on the truck's receiver to lock the hitch up to the truck's receiver. The clever thing about these pins is that the key will literally "pop" out automatically when you press the locking pieces together. No spinning, or pulling to make the lock let go of the key. This is a very nice feature. Leave the key in the lock, press the 2 pieces of each locking pin together and the key drops in your hand with the lock secured.
Works great for our various race boats with all different trailers

Swivel Head Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches
Well made lock at a great price. Glad it came with both size pins, since the 5/8" pin didn't fit in my cargo carrier.
Always good to get my trailer supplies here. Very friendly staff and very knowledgeable. Quick delivery as well

Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock for Hollywood Racks Bike Racks
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.

Beefy cable. Will put it to use in a couple of weeks.
What our customers are saying:
