• How to Get Multiple Keyed Alike Trailer Hitch And Coupler Locks
  We have an option for you, though there isn't a way to get matching keys for a Master Lock # 2848DAT trailer hitch and coupler lock set as they don't have a Keyed Alike option for a second set. What you can do in order to use the same key for multiple trailer hitch locks and coupler locks is use the etrailer locks, and select the "Keyed Alike" option from the drop-down on their product pages. This will get you all the locks keyed the same so you only have to keep track of a single key....

• Recommended Hitch for a 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross and How to Install It
  Hey Michael, congrats on the new SUV. The EcoHitch item # EH87CR does not require you to remove the rear bumper assembly when installing. It does require some slight fascia trimming though. You'll have to remove a 2-3/4” deep and 4-1/2” wide section that sits below your Cross. This allows the 2" receiver to extend below your bumper. Please note that the EcoHitch item # EH87CR only fits the hybrid models of the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross. If yours is not a hybrid, you'll need the Curt item...

• Availability of Coupler Lock With a 5/16 inch Pin Diameter
  A pin with a 1/4 inch diameter, like part # e98886, is standard for coupler locks. Unfortunately there are none that are 1/16 of an inch larger in diameter. If instead you meant that you needed one with a span of 5/8 of an inch then you will want to go with the Master Lock Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # 2847DAT which has a 5/8 inch adjustment setting. If you meant that the pin diameter needed to be 5/8 inches then you are looking for part # e98880.

• Recommended Ball Mount for 2 Inch Ball with No Rise and No Drop
  For a 2 inch hitch ball that has no rise and no drop, I recommend the Curt Solid 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2" and 2-5/16" Balls - 10K - Black # C45660. For your anti-rattle, I recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches # RM-061 which will give you the anti-rattle and then # e98880 for a locking hitch pin. If you want a 3 ball option I recommend # C62KR.

• How Does Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch 336VS501 Deter Theft
  The vehicle side of the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch # 336VS501 can be locked to the vehicle's 2-inch receiver hitch using any standard pin lock such as # e98880. The mating part that bolts or welds on to the trailer # 336TS508 will only couple to the Lock N Roll system. Unlike a traditional ball coupler, which is compatible with any hitch ball of a matching size, the trailer-side Lock 'N' Roll coupler can only connect to a vehicle-side Lock 'N' Roll hitch. So your trailer cannot...

• Can a 1-1/4 - 2 Adapter be Used to Safely Haul a Cargo Carrier with a 2015 Toyota Corolla
  The concept of a hitch adapter like the Brophy # HTAD is a good idea in theory but the problem with using one of those with a 1-1/4" hitch, like part # C11265 or # 24913 for your 2015 Toyota Corolla, is that it will reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50%. Since those trailer hitches have a tongue weight rating of 200 lbs this means that the tongue weight will be reduced to 100 lbs. If you were to use all of this for the 24x59 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 you would only...

• Determining Correct Ball Mount or Draw Bar for your Vehicle and Trailer Combination for Level Towing
  To find the correct ball mount you want to measure from the inside top opening of the receiver on your truck to the ground. Then you want to measure the trailer from the bottom of the coupler to the ground when the trailer is level. The difference between those two measurements will give you the proper rise or drop for your application. I've attached an article to assist. If you don't want to use a fixed mount, or if you pull different trailers, you may want to consider an adjustable...

• Can Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate Only be Used in Drop Position
  Hello Jose, It is indeed true that the Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # C48343 can only be used in the drop position; it cannot be used in the rise position.

You can secure this to your hitch using lock # e98880.

• What Spare Tire Solution do You Recommend for RV?
  I reached out to all of our current spare-tire manufacturers and we unfortunately do not carry a bumper-mount option that is approved for class c tires. However, there is still the option of adding a front hitch and a front-mounted spare tire carrier. I can definitely assist you in that option if you are interested.

• Hitch Pin Weight Capacity and Sheer Strength
  We aren't manufacturers of those parts, and we don't have the testing ability in house, so I reached out to a couple of our manufacturers to see what information they could provide to try and help. I reached out to my contact at Curt regarding the pin and clip # C21500 and he said they haven't ever needed to test the sheer strength of a pin because the hitches and ball mounts will fail before the pin does every single time. They are rated for 6 figures easily. He gave an example of a...

• How To Measure For Hitch Receiver Lock Pin Span
  The span you refer to on the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # e98880 is the usable length of the pin. To properly measure for this, you can measure the outside walls of your hitch at the pin hole. If you measured, and got 2-5/8", you'd need a hitch pin with at least a span of 2-5/8" like # e98880,. Additionally, you'd need to measure the diameter of the pin hole, so you can choose the correct diameter pin as well. Usually class I and II hitches have a 1/2" diameter...

• Towing Utility Trailer With Bike Rack While Needing More Rise From Ball Mount
  I think we have a solution for you here, but the two parts you mentioned are using an adapter and adapter together. What you can do instead is which is use a Gen-Y ball mount shanks with stacked receivers.

• Should a Locking Hitch Pin be Purchased to Help Keep a Hitch Cover from Being Stolen
  A trailer hitch cover like the Rubber Hitch Cover # 22281 is not one that can be locked, but since it is a common piece it really isn't in too much danger of being stolen. However, if you you are looking at a hitch cover that is a little more unique, like the part # HTCC11805, then I do recommend going with a locking hitch pin like part # e98880 as opposed to a typical pin and clip like part # PC3. This will help to deter theft of your cover. Please note that the lock and clip/pin numbers...

• Locking Trailer Hitch Pin for Bike Rack on 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  The Curt hitch you purchased is part # C13272 which is a 2 inch receiver so the pin hole is 5/8 inches. A good standard lock to fit is part # e98880. With that being said, a lot of bike racks have threaded hitch pins so you can't use just a standard locking pin. Their threads are usually specific to their own locks so you might need to purchase a specific lock for your specific bike rack. If you let me know which bike rack you have I can help you with a specific locking pin.
