This Blue Ox receiver lock has a pin diameter of 5/8" and locks your Blue Ox tow bar to a 2" x 2" receiver.

by:

Product as described. Use on pickup trailer hitch. Heavy duty.



by:

This is a high quality excellent product. The lock mechanism itself is superior to most receiver locks on the market and it is easier to lock /unlock. The fit in the receiver is perfect !



by:

Have used it primarily with u-haul trailers. Sturdy, good locking, functional, would buy again.



by:

This product was good, but did not fit my hitch because I actually needed a inside length of 3 inch to 3 1/2 long to fit. This one was too short. However, not the fault of etrailer. Had to send back.



by:

I've had this product(receiver Lock) for about a year now and it still works great. Easy to install and remove.



by:

Strong and easy to lock, non intrusive with safety chains or electrical equipment



by:

The lock has started to rust and is hard to unlock with the key even though I have kept the rubber keyhole cover in place to protect it.



by:

Bought the Blue Ox tow bar also. Couldn't be happier.



by:

Package arrived in good shape - just what I ordered. Installed easily & works great to tow car behind RV with bike rack in upper receiver spot. Arrived one day ahead of promised. Thanks



by:

I have not used this lock yet, but I wanted to take this opportunity to commend etrailer for their unparalleled customer service. This is not my first order and it will certainly not be the last. I wish other companies were even half as attentive and efficient.



by:

E trailer had locking hitch pins that I needed and keyed them the same Love not having to figure out what key goes with what pin. Everything was in stock and shipping was fast.



by:

Added a step down receiver to the receiver on the new motorhome and need to remove the tow bar when it is being stowed. I hate using the spring mounted bolts that are standard (hard on the fingers) and this works great. Be sure you know whether you need one that is 2" or 2 1/2". I measured and bought the 2" one.



by:

Did it's job well, unfortunately, when I upgraded to a 2.5inch receiver hitch the lock no longer fit



by:

perfect locking device



by:

Had the lock 1 year, still looks good and have had no problems with it. I actually have 2 and would definitely recommend this product and of course etrailer. Great products, prices,fast shipping and great customer service.



by:

Great build. Heavy duty locking mechanism. Have no doubts this lock will hold up over time. Marked down one star because it's a little short for the gen 2.5 Tundra's receiver hitch and required me to shave off some metal off the stock receiver to get it to fit.



by:

A must have your hitch receiver safe from being stolen



by:

I recently bought several products from etrailer including a Curt 2” receiver hitch, Yakima bike rack, and a Blue Ox locking hitch pin. ettrailer was super easy to buy from. They definitely had the best prices and super quick shipping and their fit guide worked perfect when trying to get a product that will work with what I have. The Blue Ox locking hitch pin works great for securing your hitch. Fits perfect and is super easy to use. Would definitely recommend E-trailer to friends and family.



by:

I like securing my expensive blue-ox from theft. Disappointed that the chrome so quickly rusted.



by:

So far the product looks and works grea t!!



by:

Seems to be doing great. No issues and easy install



by:

Well made, it should last a lifetime.



by:

Exactly as described, and quick shipment! Thanks



by:

Wheel feels very solid and I received it quickly. I had it welded to 5/16" wall 2" X 2" steel tubing so I can insert it when necessary . I didn't want to weld it under the tow hitch itself because of already low clearance . When inserted into the tow hitch the wheel extends 3/4" lower than hitch. My truck is a 2022 Chevy single axel cutaway.

  • Recommended Ball Mount For 2018 Forest River Wolf Pup 18to Travel Trailer
    For your 2018 Forest River Wolf Pup 18to travel trailer, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10037B. This ball mount will give you the adjustability to tow your travel trailer level and will give you two hitch ball size options that are integrated. You will have a 2 inch option and a 2-5/16 inch diameter option, one of which will fit your trailer. Another really nice feature of this ball mount is the stowable feature. When...

  • Replacement Black Rubber Dust Caps for Blue Ox Locks
    Welcome back James. I just messaged Blue Ox and they told me their locks are an 1" in diameter and the Replacement Black Rubber Dust Caps for Blue Ox Locks item # BLU26ER are just under an 1". These covers are designed for Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Locks like item # BX8858 and item # BX88212. I don't have any here to measure myself or I would get you a closer measurement. What kind of hitch pin lock do you have? I can try to find you the exact cover you need if you could put that information...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2013 Audi Q7
    For your 2013 Audi Q7, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75950 over the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13220 because it requires a stability strap # 18050 for any non-trailer loads like bike racks and cargo carriers. The attached installation details do not state trimming is required for your model vehicle. If you will be towing or using a lighted accessory, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter...

  • Recommended 3-Ball Tow and Stow Compatible with Custom Bumper
    We do have the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5.5" Rise - 10K - Browning # BWTS10048BB which has a pin hole farthest from mounting block dimension of 5-5/8 inches. Another option with the same depth measurement is the # BWTS10047BB which has a 3 inch drop. These are the only B&W hitches that have the 3-Ball option that will fit your bumper. I recommend the hitch lock # BWTS51234 to secure your investment.

  • Parts Needed to Install a 7-way Trailer Connector and Tow a Trailer with a 2009 Toyota Tacoma
    Yes, you can install a 7-way trailer connector on your 2009 Toyota Tacoma. There's a couple of options depending on your trailer. First you're going to need to start with a 4-way flat connector like you've already found. I suggest the Curt # C55513 which plugs into your truck's wiring either behind the taillights or the rear bumper. Once you have the 4-way, if your trailer does not have brakes you can use an adapter, # 37185, to go from the 4-way to provide a 7-way. However, installing...

    The Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches # RM-195225 can be secured with a hitch lock like the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - Flush - 2-3/4" Span - Chrome # BX8858. Then you can use a spare tire lock like the Fulton # FSTL0603 or etrailer.com lock # e98892.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed to Fit a 2017 Ford Explorer
    We do have trailer hitch receivers to fit your 2017 Ford Explorer but the Draw-Tite # 75278 will not fit. It's for several different models of GM vans. Instead you'll want to use Draw-Tite # 76034 on your Explorer. I've linked an install video for you. If you're going to be towing a trailer you'll also need a wiring harness. I recommend the Tekonsha 4-way # 118540. You'll also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I've attached a link of our selection of ball mounts for a 2 inch hitch...

  • Will the Blue Ox Locking Hitch Pin Fit a 2024 Toyota Tundra with Factory Hitch
    Hey Tyler, thanks for reaching out! The Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # BX8858 should fit just fine on your 2024 Toyota Tundra, but I'm interested in hearing why you're needing to confirm the fit? This hitch pin has a 2-3/4" span so as long as your receiver isn't wider than that you'll be good to go. I will say that I installed a bike rack on a Tacoma a few years ago and I wasn't able to get the hitch pin tightened all the way, but this was due to there being a larger...

  • Can the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches Be Keyed Alike?
    No, they can not, however I do have an option that can. Our etrailer item # e98882 can be keyed alike when you order two or more of them. Like the Blue Ox item # BX8858, the etrailer Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches 2-5/8" Span item # e98882 is made out of of stainless steel and is 5/8" in diameter. We also have the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches 3-5/8" Span item # e98881, if you want to lock up a 2-1/2" hitch receiver or just need a longer span. You can get matching...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For Deep Drop Bumper On 1990 Ford F250 XLT Lariat
    The B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # BWHDRH25198. This is a heavy duty hitch that measures 7-3/8 inches from the frame to the top of the receiver. As long has his deep drop bumper fits with the 7-3/8 inch from frame to top of the receiver measurement, this hitch is confirmed to fit his 1990 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat Diesel. The spare tire may need to be repositioned or modified for this hitch. If you don't want to worry about repositioning the spare, I...

  • How Rust Resistant is the Finish on the B&W Tow & Stow Chrome Ball Mount?
    The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Chrome # BWTS10048C has a dual process chrome plating on the shank as well as the hitch balls. This is not only to ensure it continues to look nice but to provide excellent rust resistance. We have had no customer complaints on the product that I'm aware of regarding the finish holding up to the elements and regular use. I recommend a locking hitch pin like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - Flush...

  • What To Do if You Lose Blue Ox Hitch Lock Keys
    Best option is to write down the key number for the Blue Ox hitch lock part # BX8858 that you referenced when you get it. While we don't carry replacement keys for this kit if you contact Blue Ox directly they'd be able to set you up with replacement keys. Best option though is put one key on your normal key ring so that it's always with you and then store the extra somewhere where you won't lose it and then if ever needed you wouldn't be without a key.

  • Recommended Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver Made in USA for 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2500 Series Truck
    The Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # 41923 for your 2002 Dodge Ram is made in Mexico. It is made to US standards and Draw-Tite is an American company. If you are wanting a USA manufactured trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15300, # C15319, or the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # BWHDRH25132.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Ford Explorer with Hands Free Lift Gate Sensor
    Both the Draw-Tite # 76034 and Curt # C13386 trailer hitch receivers that are designed for your 2017 Ford Explorer will allow the hands free lift gate sensor to work. However, you will need to activate it by putting your foot to the side of the hitch receiver opening with both hitches. The sensors will not recognize your foot through the hitch unfortunately. I've linked videos of both hitches being installed for you. If you're going to be towing a trailer with the Explorer and need...

  • Does the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount Include Hitch PIn
    The B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10033B referenced in your question does not include a hitch pin. I recommend adding a locking hitch pin like the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BX8858. This chrome receiver lock will work great to secure the ball mount to your hitch receiver while also helping to deter theft. The tube-style key lock resists picking and the weather-resistant plastic dust cap will keep the cylinder free from water and debris. 2 keyed-alike keys are included....

  • Installing a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Other Parts to Tow a Trailer with a 2017 Kia Sorento
    To install a 7-way trailer connector on the back of your 2017 Kia Sorento you'll first need a 4-way connector. Use # 118583 which installs by plugging in behind the Kia's tail lights. If your trailer does not have brakes you can use the 4-way with # 37185 and just cap off the wires you don't need. If your trailer has brakes once you have the 4-way installed use our # ETBC7 kit to install the 7-way. This will also include everything you need for the electric brake controller. For the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2019 GMC Canyon
    I recommend installing the Class III Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13176 on your 2019 GMC Canyon because it is an easier installation than most of the other options and it has the safety chain loops located under the receiver for easier access. I have attached pictures and a video of this installed on a 2019 Colorado for you to reference. If you don't already have a wiring harness on your Canyon then I also recommend installing the Hopkins # HM40975-11998 for a fully functional 7-Way....

  • What Does the Span of a Locking Hitch Pin Refer To
    The span of a locking hitch pin like the Blue Ox # BX8858 means the amount of space that can fit between the two walls of the hitch receiver- so yes, basically the distance from the outside wall of one side of the receiver to the other. We have noticed that certain Toyota factory hitches have a thicker walls on their receivers that measure 2-7/8" instead of just under 2-3/4" so if you've got a Toyota truck with a factory receiver you would need to use a locking hitch pin like the # BX88212...

    We have the custom fit for a standard or step bumper # 13028 or the deep drop bumper # 41504 confirmed to fit your 1994 Ford F-150 Flareside. The Roll Pan bumper does not have a custom fit, so if you don't want the long receiver tube, I recommend using an universal fit that you can customize for your truck fit. My recommendation is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III # C13701. This hitch will require drilling into your frame and the crossbar...

  • Does Hitch Pin Lock Have a Normal Use
    There is not necessarily a specific lifespan that can be counted on with hitch lock like your Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # BX8858. If it gets used heavily and a lot of stress on it then a lock can wear down quicker than those that are used somewhat sparingly, but less than a year old is not a lot of time for the issues you are having. There are hitch locks for a 2" hitch that have warranties, such as the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 and Bulldog Lifelong...

    There are three trailer wiring harnesses that fit the 2011 Jeep Liberty. The Tekonsha # 118554, Curt # C56334, and a Hopkins # HM11142485. All three provide a 4-way connector and install by plugging in behind both tail lights. There is also a hot lead wire that will be run to the battery and a fuse to be installed. Everything for the install is included with each harness. Then the connector will is stowed beneath the Jeep near the trailer hitch. Of the three I recommend the Tekonsha...

  • Recommended Locking Hitch Pin for Toyota Factory Hitch on 2019 Toyota Tacoma
    I've actually seen this before with another one of our customers and we found out that apparently the factory hitches that Toyota uses on their trucks and SUVs are a bit thicker than many of the aftermarket options. Instead of the # BX8858 you'll want to use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Extra Long - Flush Design for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # e98881. This locking hitch pin has the same 5/8" pin diameter, but is a bit longer with a 3-5/8" inside span that will fit your 2019 Toyota...

Let's start at the beginning since you weren't clear if the small cargo trailers you've towed were with this vehicle.
