Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Gen-Y Hitch 5/8 inch diameter stainless steel pin and clip for a 2 1/2 inch and three inch hitches. Now, this hitch pin will secure your ball mount or other hitch mounted accessory in your trailer hitch receiver. This one does include the nice twist clip design, which inserts into the end of the pin right here in this hole to hold your pin in place. Now, I do wanna go over this twist clip design.
It's a little different than your standard clip that you'll see on hitch pins. Your standard clip, I happen to pull one, is your straight, push-on clip. And sometimes those can be difficult to push it on and sometimes hard to pull off. This twist clip makes it so much easier. What's nice about it is when you go to install it, you just put it on like this, push it.
And when you push it, it'll twist into place and lock into place. You're ready to go. And very easy to remove. All you have to do is twist this and it comes right out. So, installing this clip is a lot simpler using this new twist clip design.
Now, this is a sturdy stainless steel construction. It is made in the USA. Application, this pin will fit 2 1/2 inch and three inch trailer hitch receivers. The pin diameter size is 5/8 of an inch. Overall length, end to end is gonna be right at 5 1/4 inches.
The usable length, which basically will be from under the head here to where that clip hole starts, where the clip will go. And you can see that's gonna be right at four inches of usable length. Now, one thing I do wanna mention is that this is for the 2 1/2 inch and three inch hitches. If you want one for two inch hitches, we do sell one separately. It's a little bit shorter in length and we sell that on our website. It's part number 325-GH-096. But that should do it for the review on this Gen-Y Hitch 5/8 inch diameter stainless steel pin and clip for 2 1/2 inch and three inch hitches..

Great product. I needed the extra length. The pin and clip are excellent. No rust and holding up well for my boat, dump trailer and utility trailer. Good customer service. I would recommend etrailer any time.
Smoothly machined. Fits in Clevis hitch it was purchased for. This picture shows two holes, the one I received only has one hole.

Very good.
I purchase all my trailer supplies from you. Great products. Thank You
I bought two of these hitch pins about a year ago for our 2021 F250 with OEM 2.5" hitch receiver. We pull a 39' 10,000 lbs. toy hauler and use the pins with a weigh safe true tow hitch. The pins have held up well and have not rusted. I like the quarter turn locking pin engagement or disengagement. I would recommend this product from etrailer.
The Gen-Y 4" hitch pin provides extra length when trying to put your hitch on your receiver. The knob end makes it easier to position for clip placement, sometimes the angle end is in the way and won't rotate enough. The hitch pin is very strong and durable, have used on a solid hitch with a 2 5/16" ball. No wear, continues to fit into hitch and receiver easily.
Excellent inventory and fast shipping. The items I ordered exceeded my expectations.
Long enough for my new super duty truck with 2.5” receiver hitch with adapter.
Great pin. doesn't have the bent handle which an be a problem in some hitch applications. Well made great shoulder size on the head end. Thanks!
Had them for a year and still working great. I highly recommend etrailer. They’re a great company to work with. they actually care about the customer.
Great hitch. I was just a dummy and lost a pin. I could have put any pin in there but I wanted the quality one that came with the hitch
Purchasing experience was outstanding. Order placed on Monday March 26 and received on March 27. Noah was very helpful and great to work with. Shipment came in 2 packages and was complete. I would highly recommend etrailer.com for purchasing your towing needs. This was the second time I have ordered from etrailer.com and both times they have exceeded expectations.
Ordered these and package came ripped open without pins inside. Contacted etrailer and they sent me new ones no questions asked. Gotta love a company that’s easy to work with and you can talk to without any hoops to jump through. I will buy all my stuff through them going forward.
The pin looks great and is very functional in summer time conditions. Unfortunately the salt in the NY winter really rusted the pin much quicker than I anticipated. My truck is babied in the winter and not driven that much in the snow and wintry conditions so the fact that the pin rusted so quickly indicates that the coating is not very good for corrosive environments.
Works well. Definitely like the extra length needed for the larger hitches. Twist clip works much easier than the push clips.
The box was shipped with a heavy item in the bottom and 8 marker lights loose in the box with nothing to protect them, very unusual for etrailer, I’m surprised nothing was broken . I’m very satisfied otherwise with the service and speed of delivery.
Nice innovative alternative to cotter p in.
Good for my current applications
I use e trailer a lot and always have received quick service.Great company to deal with.
