• Hitch Receiver and Coupler Trigger Lock Compatible with Toyota Factory Receiver Width
  The 2018 Toyota Tundra factory hitch is built up around the pin so it is wider than usual and will not fit the traditional 2 inch hitch pin like found in # 2848DAT. You will simply need the longer hitch pin. The Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Extra Long - Flush Design for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RH5-XL will work well for you and give you adequate space. If you want one that codes to your truck key, you can use the Bolt Lock # BL7023584. If you want the coupler lock as well then you...

• Troubleshooting Masterlock Hitch Pin Lock with Key that Won't Turn
  Sounds like your Masterlock locking hitch pin part # 2848DAT has some frozen tumblers. I would recommend using the straw of your WD40 can to direct it into the lock core as much as possible. Then use the good key to help get it into the lock core. To do this basically you'd want to repeatedly insert and remove the key to help work it in. Several applications of WD40 might be required.

• Can Trailer Coupler Lock Pins be Replaced?
  Hey William, thanks for reaching out! Usually there isn't a way to get just the replacement pin, but if you have a kit like the Master Lock # 3794DAT, we have some of it pieced out and you could get just the locking pins as part # 2866DAT or part # 2848DAT. This would come with an additional lock, but you would be able to simply swap it out to the one you currently have so everything is still keyed alike. If you let me know what specific lock kit you have, I'd be happy to see if we have...

• How To Prevent Trailer Theft Beyond Hitch and Coupler Locks
  One easy way to prevent someone from removing the ball would be to use a ball mount that has the ball attached (welded) to the shank. That way you won't have to weld a ball to a shank that isn't meant for that type of modification. Some examples include # C42KR or something adjustable that locks like # DTALBM6600. A Wheel lock such as # RA-25 would also be a good idea. The trailer would not be able to be moved with a wheel lock like this on it. And the ball mount/ball may be enough of...

• Correct Ball Mount For Vehicle W/ 17-1/4" Receiver Height To Tow Trailer W/ 16-1/4" Coupler Height
  We have just what you need! Since the hitch height on your vehicle is 17-1/4" and the coupler height of your trailer is 16-1/4" you would need a ball mount with a 1" drop to level your trailer, but such a ball mount does not exist. Instead I recommend the Curt Solid 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2" and 2-5/16" Balls - 10K - Black # C45660 which has no drop, but the tongue weight of the trailer will push down on it and bring you very close to level. This mount is rated for up to 7500lbs...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System to Replace Valley WD Rated for 10,000 lbs
  So sorry to hear about your stolen equipment. I do have a solution for you but since Valley went out of business we do not have any parts for it and since weight distribution parts are not interchangeable between brands (aside from some shanks) there are no options that are compatible with your bars. For a replacement WD system you will want to make sure that you Total Tongue Weight (TTW) fall in the middle of the weight range of your new system. Your TTW can be found by adding the the...

• Comparing Master Lock Hitch Receiver and Coupler Latch Lock Sets
  The main difference between the Master Lock Hitch Receiver and Coupler Latch Lock Set part # 1481DAT and part # 2848DAT is that the former is for 2" hitches and the latter is for 1-1/4" and 2" since it comes with both pin sizes (1/2" and 5/8".

• Will Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock Fit Demco eZ-Latch Coupler
  Hi Robert; the pin lock that comes with the # ML44VR will work but I've seen some issues with fitment for the surround lock on your coupler style because of the shape and design.

  No, I am sorry Steve Master Lock does not offer their locks to be keyed alike.
