Notes:
The Silent Hitch Pin from Let's Go Aero takes the rattle and play out of the connection between your trailer hitch and your ball mount or hitch accessory. The unique design features a sturdy steel block with an attached spring that sits inside the shank of your hitch-mounted accessory.
Place the block inside your ball mount or hitch accessory, and line up the hole in the block with the pin hole in your ball mount. Slide your ball mount into your hitch and insert the hitch pin. To activate the anti-rattle device, just twist the pin with a wrench (sold separately) to tighten it down. Doing this will pull the accessory up against the wall of your hitch receiver, thus keeping the accessory from moving around inside your hitch. No more annoying clanking or vibrating.
The 90 degree, barrel-style lock goes on the end of the anti-rattle pin to provide security for your hitch-mounted accessories. Two round, rubber-coated keys are included with the lock. A sturdy rubber dust cap comes attached to the barrel lock so that you can easily cover the lock cylinder, thus ensuring that no dirt or grime will get in to damage the lock.

This anti-rattle hitch pin dramatically reduces any movement or vibration of your ball mount in your hitch. Included lock ensures security for your hitch accessory. Designed for use on hollow-shank ball mounts and accessories. 5/8" Pin diameter.Clearance around the Tesla Model Y hitch receiver is tight but this anti-rattle hitch lock fit perfectly, even after torquing it to spec. The lock mechanism on the left comes very close to the 7-pin connector but it doesn’t touch and the lock rotates freely around the pin. Product appears to be of high quality.
I have ordered and used this device before. What is disgraceful is the respect shown toward products shipped from etrailer. While the two devices/parts I ordered probably could have through a war zone without any damage, the fact is IF they are beaten out of the box while in shipping is not right. Add some appropriate packing. Grade F on your packaging.
Steven - 04/11/2023I purchased this device as a way to reduce slack in the etrailer 1.25" adapter for my 2" receiver hitch & also for the locking capability since the adapter ships with just a standard pin & clip.
The device was easy to install in the adapter & works quite well. My issue was that since I use my receiver hitch for a bike rack, the internal nut prevented the tongue of the rack from being inserted far enough to snap the retainer pin in the adapter. I can, however, still use the locking device by simply removing the retaining nut from inside the adapter which allows me to fully install my bike rack.
Tony A - 08/21/2023This product removed all of the play along the X axis, so the cargo rack no longer moves left and right. There is still a little movement on the Y axis, up and down, but it is half what it was before. Plus that has more to do with the physics of my cargo basket than the locking device. This pin can't take all of the slop out on both the X and Y axis. I just made aa wood shim from treated lumber, drove it into the recover, and now with a shim in there it doesn't move in either direction. Highly recommend this hitch lock. This would be easier to install on a tow hitch than it was on my cargo basket because the basket itself blocked my access when I had to tighten it with a ratchet, but had I jacked the car up and set the rear end on jack stands that wouldn't have come into play as I would have been able to lay underneath it. This basket is only 5-6 inches off the ground, and I am well more than 5-6 inches wide.
I can't speak to the durability yet, but it works exactly as advertised. I couldn't even tell I had a cargo carrier on the back of the vehicle as I drove.
Nathan - 08/17/2023I’m kind of disappointed in the experience at the moment. When I first inquired about a drop hitch adapter, I stated that I needed literally 1/8-1/4” drop, in order to allow my rear doors to open. I was informed that Curt has a product with a range from 2”-6” drop. In my mind the 2” would be the one I’d order. Turns out I should have double checked the order. I was mistakenly sent the 4” drop receiver, and there’s apparently no way etrailer can overnight the correct (2” drop receiver) to me before I leave this Sunday on a trip. If I use the 4” drop until the 2” arrival, I won’t be able to return the 4”. The etrailer people are very pleasant to talk to but problem solving is very disappointing.
I am unable to review this as it will not work with the Flint Hill Goods 30" x 50" Wheelchair Carrier w/ 60" Ramp - 2" Hitch. The carrier hitch tube has a tube inside that prevents installation.

This lock works great. Trailer hitch used to move some but after I installed this it doesn’t move at all. Great product.
This anti-rattle hitch receiver lock works very well and gives me piece of mind when I’m out adventuring. Highly recommend!
This does work. Incredibly rugged but quiet and no tongue rattle. I gave 4 stars because the round tubed washer is rusting. Other than that it is a great product.
I just installed this product on my hitch. I have not used the hitch as of yet. The product is well made and I don't see and problem with its use.
William Y - 06/20/2023Stiffens up the C18113 cargo carrier very nicely
I purchased this for use on my 2017 VW Alltrack with an Ecohitch 2 in receiver. I have a Thule T2 Classic bike rack with a 1-1/4 inch shank and didn't want to purchase the replacement shank. I instead purchased # HT02 to allow the receiver to accept the smaller 1-1/4 and # 63232 to stabilize the rack and stop the rattle.
The combination is perfect. # 63232 acts as both an anti-rattle device, as well as a hitch lock. Installation took 5 minutes and was super straightforward. Because the pin is threaded, be sure to use a torque wrench to not accidentally over-torque the pin and strip the threads or just tighten until the rattle stops.
Ryan F - 09/23/2018Excellent service.I had originally ordered different pin because I didn’t know about silent hitch pins yet. I call in they picked up right away. They were extremely helpful and cancelled my old order and put in a new order with this new pin. Shipped fast and arrived on time. The product fits and works as advertised. Thank you etrailer.
Easy to use and switch between different tongue lengths that I use. Virtually eliminated any hitch rattle noise and the lock clicks on easily and the dirt cover on the key entry prevents any problems when it’s time to take off the hitch. Would recommend for anyone looking to eliminate rattle and add a little security to their hitch.
Easy to assemble. Karen was very helpful in the ordering process. Thank you
Highly recommend. We use it with our Reese Cargo Carrier and there’s absolutely no sway on the carrier. Works great!
There wasn’t enough room on my Curt hitch to use this quite pin to secure my RoadMaster spare tire carrier. I used the bolt pin that came with the carrier and will install a separate lock on it.
However this silent pin will do nicely on the cargo carrier I will install on the RoadMaster spare tire carrier hitch.
Phillip - 10/18/2020Heard about this pin and had to give it a try. Very happy I did! The quietest towing I have ever experienced. You can actually tow an empty trailer without the hitch banging around over every bump!
High quality and easy to use. As always, etrailer offers excellent customer care!
I wanted a lock and anti-rattle hitch pin all in one unit. Saw this on YouTube by Let’s go Aero. Looked like a good quality product and was an easy install for my new B&W Stow and Go hitch. Etrailer had both items and made for easy ordering. Package came within a few days and installed same day. Thanks Etrailer. Great customer service.
Does what it's supposed to. Used w/ an anti-rattle hitchlock system for my hitch extender to clear a rear-mounted spare tire for our bike racks on our class B camper van.
My Kuat NV 2.0 fits only a 2" hitch receiver and with an F-250, the hitch receiver requires an adapter. Since an adapter within the hitch will still wobble, I removed the ball cam from the Kuat and used this in its place. Now there is a solid fit and no more wobble since this bridges between the hitch receiver, adapter, and the Kuat bike rack.
This is the best no rattle from the hitch and stays tight. I put about 700 miles on towing the race trailer with the sxs in it and no slap from the hitch when taking off or braking
Scott - 12/23/2022Works great! I purchased this to lock and hold a reducer on my 2” hitch. Prevents it from rattling and it has a short profile, which worked very well for my Tesla Model Y hitch.
