etrailer.com is my go to company for all my hauling needs. I haven’t never not found what I needed and they have great prices and everything I have ever bought from them is top quality. On this purchase I purchased 5 or 6 2” receiver lockable pins all keyed to the same key. Now if they could change every single lock I have in my household to the same key that would be totally magical. Thanks etrailer
by: Donna 11/08/2023
I bought this as a multi package with ball coupler locks all keyed alike. Glory be I don't have to fumble through countless keys trying to find the right one anymore! I used to avoid using locks if it was a short trip or just around the property, now it's always locked.
by: Lynda10/05/2023
I had to turn the top of the hitch receiver upside down so it wouldn't damage my rear camera. I am also hoping to add more holes on the kuat bottom of my bike rack so I don't extend out so much. After that, this configuration should work on my car. Finally. The product is fine, it' s just the configuration
by: David 10/10/2023
After having my last hitch stolen because I forgot to remove it I purchased this lock. It's a little awkward to unlock due to the configuration of my receiver but I don't have to remove it very often.

This etrailer receiver lock has been on my Suburban trailer Hitch for approx. a year. Was in use while preparing to sell my boat. Just movements back and forth in the drive way is the only use it has. Had to cut off previous similar lock by another manufacture that had been on for at least 25 years.
by: Jan 09/16/2023
i like this lock its easy to unlock and its longer so it fits my toyota tundra which will not accept a regular hitch lock
by: Oscar09/17/2023
From the packaging, the installation videos, instructions, etc. etrailer makes it sooooo damn easy. Thank you 5/5
by: Jeff 11/13/2023
I like that it can be keyed the same as other locks you sell. I also like that it is a screw on lock.
by: Robert07/08/2023
I ordered 4 locks keyed alike. When they arrived , only 3 of the 4 used the same key. I contacted etrailer and explained the problem to Carol. She addressed the issue immediately. A replacement lock, keyed like the 3 I had, arrived in a few days. This is why I deal with etrailer. They understand customer service and stand behind their products.
by: Wes 10/18/2023
The key threads in the lock which is nice, but if you have the key on a key ring it will be tough to twist it. Good quality, you just need to understand that you will need room to thread the lock on.

This company has the best customer service and they carry the best products!

Nice locking hitch pin, after you buy a top quality hitch you want to make sure you hang on to it, get a good locking pin to protect your investment!
by: Ace 06/21/2023
Perfect fit and good luck getting this thing off without the key, it is as secure as plausible and has stood the test of time and hauling. Highly recommend, fits well with my hitch - on 3/4ton Chevy Silverado and all other vehicles Ive used it on - Bclass RV - Toyo 4 runner...
by: Bryan 10/25/2023
This is my second hitch lock. First one been using over 5 years on another vehicle. It works great!
by: Anita 06/16/2023
Love ordering from etrailer! They are so knowledgeable and helpful!
This Hitch receiver lock works great.
by: Bruce08/19/2023
The first one arrived with the keys missing after they apparently fell out of a hole in the box. The etrailer staff very quickly sent a replacement pin with keys--excellent service.
by: Mathew04/30/2023
Where else can you get 4 keyed alike locking hitch pins for the super truss,the hitch and the spare tire carrier on the front hitch. Thank you. Fast and free shipping too! I swear I've saved close to $1000on shipping thanks to etrailer. Parts showed up a day earlier than quoted. I love doing business with these guys.
by: Bryn06/28/2023
Worked as described. Mechanism is a bit bulky and oversized but it definitely keeps my hitch cover locked in place. Would buy again
by: Sent Wrong Bolts08/01/2023
Sent wrong bolts Totally messed up threads on car. Poor customer service. Will not allow you to speak with owner. Never got a call back from a supervisor. Worst experience I ever had.
by: Jerry M.06/12/2017
Very nice design for a 2.5" Receiver. The key locks a threaded connection, not a gate type lock. My old Master Lock froze up terribly over time. I hope this will not, but time will tell. Looks good on my 2017 F250 Super Duty.

Both products are still performing and looking great. I’ve had numerous people ask where I got them and I tell them to check out etrailer.com before they buy locally.
by: Charles 06/30/2023
This hitch receiver lock went on easy. Appears to be of good quality and easy to use. Time will tell, but the price is well worth the investment.
by: Terrie06/20/2023
Fit my bum p we hitch perfectly. I have a special heavy duty drop hitch and requires longer pin.
by: William 05/31/2023
Easiest hitch lock to operate that I have ever owned. Especially in the tight hitch space on my 2020 Ram 2500. I would definitely buy another one if I needed another hitch lock.
by: Hitch Pin12/17/2016
Before ordering the locking hitch pin online I spoke with etrailer customer service. Extremely helpful customer service. I ordered the product for a 2015 Tundra Platinum. Pin was oversized like I needed, and was not a problem. Put a couple of rubber washers on each side of the pin to help with the slack and noise caused by vibration. Works like a champ. Love the key system on this pin. I would recommend it for Tundra owners who have the oversized heavy duty factory hitch on their truck. Etrailer shipped the product very quickly and had excellent follow up communications after the sale. I would not hesitate to buy from etrailer again.
by: Matthew 05/04/2023
Very nice locks it's interesting to see how the locking mechanism works haven't seen that. Before and. The hitch. Ball cover was perfect threw it on the 2 and 5/16 inch ball right away very happy with everything

- Troubleshooting Trailer Hitch Pin that Wont Secure in Ball MountIt sounds like you are having a problem with the hitch pin of a ball mount on the hitch of your RV.

view full answer... - Why Doesnt etrailer Hitch Lock # e98881 Have Shear Strength Capacity ListedHitch accessories end up being mostly secured horizontally in trailer hitches by the tongue weight of the accessory instead of by the hitch pin which is why hitch pin locks like the # e98881 are not not rated for shear strength.

I love my lockable hitch pins. I have a small farm with lots of ball hitches and I wanted something that was strong enough, all my pins keyed alike. It’s wonderful to have one key for all the pins.
