AJ: What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're going to check out this locking hitch pin from Drawtite. Now this one is an extended one, so it's a little bit longer to fit two and a half and three inch hitches. Let's check it out.You put the key in. You should turn it until the lock mechanism pops out. Then you can separate the pin from the lock.
And I put the pin through our hitch and ball mount. May need to shake the ball mount a little bit just to get it through there. We'll put our lock on the other side. With a lock mechanism popped out, you can see it's farther back in there, so you can just put this on there, push in the lock, and it's in place.Looking a little closer at the lock, it has a smooth finish and there's not really a grip on it, but it's all right because the lock is big enough, easy to grab onto and pull off when you go to unlock it. It's really nice and easy to grab onto versus your standard hitch pin and clip, which are a little bit smaller and harder to get in there and pull that pin out.
You're going to hit your hand on the bumper or your ball mount or something like that, or they get rusty over time. They get even harder to pull out. This one's nice and easy.To help protect your lock from the elements, it does come with a rubber cap that you can put on there. Now it's not attached, so you'll have to remember where this is when you have it, but at least it comes with it. You may notice a little bit of back and forth or just a little bit of gap between the lock and the hitch, but that's okay because it's meant for a two and a half inch hitch and a three inch hitch, so when you do it on a three inch hitch, there's going to be less of a gap, but there's not enough space for anybody getting there and do anything.
It's going to be a great theft deterrent and keep your ball mount protected.I'm going to show you a couple of measurements. We're going to talk about the usable space, and that's the inside pin here. That's about four inches and then it's 5/8 diameter, so that's what's going to fit through your hitch pin hole.So overall it gets the job done. It'll definitely lock our ball mount into our hitch. There's a few things that I'm not a huge fan of.
The cap not being attached is kind of annoying because I'm afraid I'm going to lose it or it's just going to fall off. The lock mechanism is a little iffy. You turn it. Sometimes it pops up, sometimes it doesn't. I'll turn it left or right. It looks like it's popping out now. So that part it's just iffy. And then the whole lock rotates, so if it's not up against the hitch exactly, you're going to turn the lock when you're trying to get that mechanism. You're going to kind of have to hold onto that, turn it, to get it to pop out. I think there's just some better hitch locks out there that have the attached dust cover and a better lock mechanism that we offer that you could probably check out.But that's going to do it for a look at the Drawtite hitch pin lock. Hope this helped.

This solid, high-strength steel, flush-style hitch lock lets you secure your ball mount, bike rack, cargo carrier or other accessory to your trailer hitch receiver 2-1/2" and larger. 5/8" Pin diameter.Excellent pin lock, except it uses a special key which is not easily available for replacement of lost. 698390
It's well made, however I was unable to unlock it after 6 months of use. Ended up using a large hammer to break it free. Once I got it apart I found the ball bearings on the shaft had rusted and wouldn't allow the end to free up and come apart. I would suggest if you buy periodically take it apart and clean it and apply grease to the bearing. 730274
I bought this B&W hitch to be a exact fit for my truck. This is the second B&W that I have purchased. Both have been well built. Best adjustable hitches that I have ever owned. Very Happy With them etrailer had the best price of anyone locally. Ordered Saturday, I received an Email Sunday that my order was Processed, and that it was ready for shipping. It arrived four days later. Thank You Will order from you again. 669381
The hitch lock seems durable; however, time will tell how it holds up. The process in purchasing it was effortless, but the shipping took longer than expected based on other reviews of items that had super fast shipping from etrailer.com. This was purchased for my 2017 F250, which has the heavy duty (wider) receiver. It is plenty long enough to fit the new receivers. 400690
This product does what it's designed too, that's why I gave it three stars. However, it did not fit my needs...it works better on narrower ball mounts. I have a B&W tow and stow three ball mount and need a hitch receiver lock that's about 1/2" to 1" longer to fit it. 607460
Looks goid, I jyst installed it with absolutely no difficulty.. I am concerned about loosingvthe rubber coger that is only attached by frictionzzz Also should we lubricate the lock mechanizm to avoid any corrosion or unwanted moisture? 573915
Easy to install. Locked my hitch and never looked back. 938201
Excellent product. 937586
Well made fit my truck perfectly. 937164
This pin is certainly heavier duty than ones I’ve bought in the past. I have no doubt based on the quality of this pin that it will last a very long time. The only gripe I’d have is that you have to hold the lock cylinder while trying to turn the key. These things aren’t in an area with the most space. Then, after you’ve added some lithium grease or anti-seize, it is a little hard to hold still while you turn the key. Other than that, this pin is top quality. 936933
Not bad item 936077

Water seals leak. Keep it lubed or it is a pain to open. 927835
Got for my f350 DRW with BW Tow and Stow hitch, which I wanted a deterrent for to be stolen. Many others I had seen were too short and lock would barely secure on the pin. This one is perfect, great fit and well made. Highly recommend. 923390
