Perfect! Fits the 2013 factory Tundra hitch PERFECTLY. Same key system, locks ball mount to sleeve, sleeve to receiver. I had been looking for this type of hitch/key lock for some time and was very happy with all the help E-Trailer and Jena provided in getting me one of their newest items of their inventory. I'll keeping back.

I really like the look of the stainless steel lock and set for my hitch. Delivery was quick great product.

Works fine. Locks easily, but rubber cap doesn't stay on. Only used one camping season so far, so I don't know if lock internals will corrode over time without the protective cover. Considering thievery, probably worth it regardless.
Probably worth

You have already taken a good first step in choosing a stainless steel lock that will resist rust even without the cap. To be honest the caps do not last the longest and this is true of any lock. I recommend using graphite in the lock from time to time to keep it clean inside the lock and to also store the lock out of the weather when you do not need to use. This will keep the lock in working shape longer.

by:
I needed to pull my hitch to replace it with my receiver mount 4-wheeler hold down and the pin was locked up. It would unlock, but the 2 ball bearings wouldn’t let the pin out to allow the locking end of the pin to release. As a result, instead of using my incredibly efficient hold down, I had to tie down the 4 wheeler the old way and find a spot to haul my hold down home in an already filled truck.
by:
The quality was very good, but I thought these hitch locks were for both locations on the Anderson Hitch. Instead there were (2) different size pins for the same location on the hitch ball.
by:
Works well, should just be included with hitch.

This pins work great for anti-theft, keys fit well and stay with the lock until back in place. Rubber caps are a bit loose, so I wouldn't bet on them sticking around forever.
by:
Arrived quicker then I expected and the quality looks high quality.

Received product on time. The receiver lock for perfect on my Chevy 2500 with a 2 1/2" hitch. It is snug and does not rattle. The locking mechanism is very positive and you know that it is locked or you can't pull the key out. Only time will tell about the the manufacturer's claim of no seizing and no rust. The o rings look like they will deteriorate because half of the ring is exposed. Hopefully it is easy to find at a hardware store when it breaks down.
by:
Works fine. Just wish I had realized that that Anderson small hitch pin was larger. As the curt adjustable hitch I bought uses 5/8 pins for both.
by:
I really like these locks. They have held up to quite a bit of abuse, especially considering one is used in a front hitch and sees all kinds of weather and road debris. The only issue I've had is the locks themselves get a little stiff (like any lock would), so a quick squirt of lubricant every now and then keeps them working smooth.
by:
Great product - highly recommend
Really sturdy - easy unlocking with key
Like the rubber closure keeping the keyhole covered
So far no rust
Happy motoring!!!
by:
The product is good, exactly as expected. etrailer ordering and processing service is also very good ... thank you. I wish they could avoid CA sales tax like last time I ordered. Shipping was a bit slow ... UPS takes their time.
by:
First of all, etrailer has been my supplier of truck and trailer parts for years and a pleasurer to do business with, great service... The hitch locks where as advertised, the hitch was perfect!
by:
Very well made, easy to unlock/lock and the common key makes it easier to keep track of. My only complaint is that in the online catalog doesn’t indicate that these locks won’t fit the #AM3410 hitch that I purchased them for.
by:
I ordered a pin lock set and a part was missing. Called there 800 number and they email me a shipping label to return the bad part. They shipped out my new one the same day. Very good service.

LIKE THE WAY ITS MADE
HAD TO REPLACE MY OTHER HITCH AND BALL THAT WAS STOLEN

The items showed up on time. They are all what I ordered and good quality. Etrailer kept me up to date on the delivery process.

I love these locks. Always easy to lock and unlock. I like the fact you can't remove the key until it's properly locked.
by:
Easy ordering, fast shipping, works great with new adjustable hitch....

I must not b smart enough to figure out what the short lock goes on

Excellent all stainless construction. Locking and unlocking a breeze. Great product.

The nice thing about this lock is the longer bar which was a better fit on my Toyota Sequoia hitch.

A must have to protect your investment. One key for both locks a plus.

Do you have a question about this Trailer Hitch Lock?
  • Is There a Locking Ball Mount Rated for Over 10,000 lbs?
    The only B&W Tow & Stow ball mounts we offer that have a towing capacity over 10,000 lbs and fit in a 2" hitch use a pintle hook, like # BWTS10055. There are adjustable ball mounts from other manufacturers that fit in a 2" hitch and can give you the capacity you need. The Andersen EZ Heavy Duty Adjustable Hitch # AM3298 is one of those options as it has a 14,000 lb capacity with the 2-5/16" ball and offers a maximum rise of or drop of 8". I've added links to video reviews of these ball...

  • Locking Hitch Pin Recommendation for B&W Tow and Stow Ball Mount
    Actually, the latest version of the # TS20050B (our part number # BW54FR ) Tow & Stow features an integrated anti-theft component as shown in the provided photo.. A slot is cut into the adjustment channel near the top of the shank. To remove the ball mount platform from the shank you will need to remove the entire ball mount from your hitch. Then remove the pins that hold the platform in place. Flip the platform around to the stowed position on the rear of the shank, and then slide it...

  • Can the Andersen Trailer Hitch and Adjustment Pin Lock Set Be Used on a Weight Distribution System
    According to Andersen, they do not recommend using any pins to attach the ball housing to the weight distribution system's shank which includes the Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set part # AM3493. They recommend that you use the nuts and bolts included with the kit. You could use the longer pin on the hitch pin hole but not the shorter pin on the adjustment hole.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2004 Toyota Tacoma Along With Wiring and Ball Mount
    For your 2004 Toyota Tacoma, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13013. This trailer hitch is rated for 500 lbs tongue weight or 600 lbs when used with weight distribution system. It is a custom fit bolt on installation and comes with all the hardware needed to install.

  • Anti-Rattle, locking, Stabilization Pin that will not Rust
    I have just what you need, a stainless steel locking anti-rattle hitch pin for you. I suggest the Stainless Steel Locking, Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches part # SR25219. You will need a hollow shank for this to work. For a solid shank, you will want the Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock part # AM3493 for the lock in addition to our Brophy Stabilizer Bracket part # RHSB for anti-rattle.

  • Hitch Pin Lock with 5/8 inch Diameter and 3-1/2 inch Span
    We have a pin lock that's sold individually that has the 3-1/2 inch span you need with the same diameter as the # AM3493 but the included lock of this is 5/8 inch which is the standard hitch pin size. So for that we have the # WS05 which has a 3-1/2 inch span and a 5/8 inch diameter. For the larger hitch sizes like 2 inch and up (including 3 inch) the diameter hitch pin used is 5/8 inch.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2002 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab
    For your 2002 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2", # 75038. This hitch has a rating of 500 lbs tongue weight with is the amount of weight you can apply to the hitch itself and a towing weight of 5000 lbs. I've attached an article on determining tongue weight. Because you have used a bumper pull to this point, you will need to get a ballmount, pin and clip. I recommend the Rapid Hitch Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount Kit - 2 Zinc...

  • Towing Capacity of EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2017 Subaru WRX STI Limited
    The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 306-X7257 is a great fit for your 2017 Subaru WRX STI Limited. It is rated for towing up to 3,500 lbs but Subaru does not recommend towing with your vehicle according to the owner's manual. Many customers have chosen to tow small trailers anyway and we have not heard of issues but it would be at your own risk. If you decide to tow your 16 foot jon boat with this vehicle, you will need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle...

  • Locking Hitch Pins Needed for a B&W Tow & Stow

  • Is Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set Keyed Alike
    The 2 pins that come with the Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3493 are keyed alike but if you're wanting to get 2 sets of these there unfortunately isn't a way to get them keyed alike so you'll have 1 key per EZ Hitch or EZ HD ball mount.

  • Recommended Ball Mount for 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4
    I did some research on the Toyota OEM ball mount PT228-35161 and it has a 2-3/4 Drop or 1-1/2 inch rise and is rated for 10,000 lbs. We do not have an exact substitute for that ball mount, but a good alternative with some options is the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs # 989900. For a fixed mount ball mount I recommend measuring for level towing with your trailer. I've attached an article to assist. Another option is the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches...

  • Recommended Hitch Lock for 3 Inch Factory Trailer Hitch on Ford Truck
    For the factory 3 inch trailer hitch on your 2018 Ford truck I recommend taking a look at the Draw-Tite Trailer HItch Lock # BD580412. This is the longest hitch lock we have available and it is designed to fit 3 inch hitches like what you have. It features a usable length of 3-1/2 inches. I do recommend measuring the outside width of your hitch receiver just to make sure this will be long enough. This lock features a heavy duty steel construction and a nickel finish to help resist corrosion....

  • Replacement Keys For A Anderson Rapid Hitch Lock
    When replacing keys on your Anderson Rapid Hitch Lock # 03003 we do not currently have the keys available for your exact core. The best option that we would have is for you to buy a whole new lock and cutting off the existing lock. The Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set - EZ Hitch and EZ HD Ball Mounts - Stainless # AM3493 would be a replacement. I attached a review video link below.

  • Will Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock Set AM3493 Fit Hitch of 2017 Ram 2500
    Yes, the Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3493 that you referenced would work just fine in the hitch of a 2017 Ram 2500. It includes a standard diameter 5/8 inch hitch pin with a very wide span of 3-5/16 inch. So if you have a 2 inch or 2-1/2 inch hitch this would work well with it.

  • Availability of Adjustable Two Ball Mount and Lock Set

  • Locking Pin Recommendation for the Flash E Series Adjustable, Steel Ball Mount FA42-00-2800
    As long as the pin diameter matches up on your Adjustable Ball Mount part # FA42-00-2800 with the part # C23556 the locks being a bit too long would not matter. Normally we would recommend the part # AM3493, but if the Curt fits it would work as well.
