The round keys make it difficult for me to unlock and lock the units. In addition, they should sell them in packs of two because I have to use two separate keys, one for each. I have subsequently replaced them with the Hitch Pins, which actually use your Jeep key for the lock key. I've replaced all locking hitch pins with this type.

by: Harold 08/02/2019

The pins are replacements for attaching our car to the Motorhome. The pins were more than I had anticipated. I got a better product at a very good price. You can’t beat that!

Very good, no complaints

I needed a base plate to tow bar lock quickly. After checking several websites including the oem site, I found the best value with Etrailer. Great site, everything you might need for towing. Would use them again.

by: Robert 07/08/2024

These locks appear to be exactly what I was looking for to replace the ones I had before on our Blue Oxe setup. Had to replace the previous ones because I lost the locking end to one. Got two new ones so they would be keyed alike

My experience with etrailer was seamless. I called in a small order, they confirmed it in their inventory and seemed genuinely happy to answer my need. It shipped promptly and I appreciate it. Mike E. (California)

This is what I should have done to start with instead of a tow dolly. Hooking this thing up is great and so much easier. everything is set up level and I love it.

etrailer has always followed thru!

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.

Recommended Base Plate to Tow Bar Locking Pin Keyed Alike
I recommend the Blue Ox Base-Plate and Receiver Lock Kit - Qty 3, # BX88101, for your application. This will give you the tow bar locking pins and the third pin that can be used to lock your tow bar to your receiver. They are all keyed alike. Unfortunately we don't have any two pin kits that are keyed alike for tow bar pins. The # BX8859 does not give the option to be keyed alike.

Availability of Longer Locking Pin for Base Plate to Tow Bar Connection
The closest locking pin we have available to the specs you are needing is the Blue Ox # BX8859, which does feature a 1/2" diameter but has an inner length/span of 2-11/16". If you can tell me exactly what model base plate kit you have installed I will be happy to see if we have something different available to help deter theft.

Blue Ox Tow Bar Lock Kit Availability
We have the Blue Ox Base Plate and Reciever Lock Kit part # BX88101 that includes what you are looking for plus a hitch lock. Or if you want just the locks for the tow bar we have the part # BX8859.

Installation of Roadmaster Base Plates and 6-Way Wiring on 2018 Chevy Equinox
On your 2018 Chevy Equinox, the 6-way connector you are referring to will simply be added after the fascia is reinstalled. In the attached video of the # RM-15267 you will see the wire run but not connected prior to the fascia being reinstalled after the baseplates # RM-523193-5 are fitted.

Availability of Blue Ox Base Plate to Tow Bar Pin Lock
The Blue Ox Base-Plate-to-Tow-Bar Lock # BX8859 is what you are looking for and is designed for locking a Blue Ox base plate to a Blue Ox tow bar. It has a 1/2 inch diameter which is the correct size for a 1-1/4 inch hitch size hitch pin so it could maybe be used for that but it's actual design was for your application.

Diversi-Tech Hitch Lock Recommendation for a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
For a lock for your 1-1/4 inch hitch I would recommend you get lock set # 2866DAT. The Blue Ox Base-Plate-to-Tow-Bar Lock # BX8859 that you referenced is designed to be used as a lock for base-plates to tow-bars. While it could possibly be used as a hitch lock, I would not recommend you use it as one since it has never been tested for that.

Weight Capacity for the Blue Ox Base-Plate-to-Tow-Bar Lock # BX8859
I spoke to my contact at Blue Ox and he informed me that the Blue Ox Base-Plate-to-Tow-Bar Lock # BX8859 that you referenced has a capacity of 10,000 lbs and has a plated steel finish, not quite chrome but close.
view full answer...
Pin Lock with 1/2 inch Diameter Recommendation
I believe what you are looking for is the part # BX8859. This has a diameter of 1/2 inch and has a usable span of 2-11/16 inches.
