Most Popular Stainless Steel for 2007 Subaru Impreza

It installed easily and quickly. Good price and fast delivery. This is the 3rd product from etrailer and Curt for me.

Had it on my hitch for a month this spring and then could not get the lock to work and the key was stuck in. Tried oiling and the key finally broke off in my hand. After another couple of months I snapped off the bent end of the pin with a long pry bar. The pin was rusting! Very disappointing for a Master Lock product. Just got a $xx locking pin through you that looks tougher but it is very hard to use: have to push in on the key pretty hard, while keeping the round lock from turning, and holding in the pin against the pushing on the key. I added a small stainless hose clamp to the lock so that the lock can be held to stop the spinning and hold the thrust of the key. We trailered our old Ferrari to Florida this spring with the old pin to win our class at Amilia Island – 1946 to 1950 limited production European sports and GT cars. If you check we have a lot of trailer stuff that we got from you in the past and your service and stuff have been great.

I purchased this Bulldog pin for my 2015 Yukon with a factory installed hitch. In this application this Bulldog hitch pin fits very well. I selected this pin due to its simple design and the generally compact diameter of the lock cylinder and the pin's beveled head-end. The lock cylinder diameter is import since GM penetrates the nominal 2" ID hitch tube through a steel bulkhead. There is only 7/16" distance between the hitch tube's nominal 5/8" clearance hole edge and the face of the factory bulkhead. Also, the hitch tube is fillet welded to the bulkhead. Thus, both the pin head and the lock cylinder need to have some relief (i.e. the bevel on the pin head-end) in order to clear this external bulkhead weld. Most of the above fitment concerns are overcome by the Bulldog pin's grip length being greater than that listed on the etrailer site (and in their videos as well). Specifically, the grip length is 2-11/16" rather than the listed 2-1/2". See the attached photos. Note that in the first photo the lock cylinder is firmly seated on the ball locking end of the pin. In the photo note that the cylinder is fully engaged and locked, which would not be possible if the cylinder was not fully seated on the pin end. The first photo shows the dial caliper fully closed and properly reading zero. Also note that the GM hitch tube is 2-9/16" square (outside dim.), thus technically a 2-1/2" pin grip length would be inadequate in this application. Since I have a metal turning lathe I was prepared to machine the pin a slight amount in order to make it fit. Thankfully, this was not necessary since the grip length is 3/16" greater than advertised. The pin is Chinese made in "stainless steel". I did test the pin with a magnet and it does appear to be austinitic (high enough in Ni and Cr alloys) since the magnet had no attaction to the pin. I do like that the lock cyklinder has an internal o-ring to help keep out "road splatter". I also gave the lock cylinder a short squit of WD-40. In sum, a well designed rugged product at a fair price.

This is probably one of the best stainless hitch locks of the regular through-pin style locks. It installs flush, and uses a solid pin. The locking side is also beefier than most, and sits tighter and deeper on the pin than most other pin locks - making it harder to try and hammer it off, or getting at the pin with a cutting tool. The lock uses large solid ball bearings for the lockup, and a disk style locking mechanism, which is harder to pick without specialty tools. So overall, one of the best regular pin style locks. We towed a 6'x12' that weighed around 6,000lbs from PA to FL without any issues with the pin-lock. We actually had to disconnect our trailer along the way, a few times, and the pin was easy to work with, and the lock really smooth. Don't hesitate to get it.

Great locks for the hitch and coupler, made to last.

I like it, the 90deg bolt works perfect for me. The hitch is recessed into the bumper on these GMC Yukon's, trying to reach in long-ways and (blind) with a key is not easy, having the key hole face out towards you makes install/uninstall of the draw bar much easier.

About 6 months after owning it, the lock is completely froze up. Can't cut the darn thing off without cutting my safety chain hook up off either

Would’ve been a great little lock had it actually fit in the housing. Too short for mine. Turns out my housing is 3”, not 2”. My bad. Paid $25 for it, etrailer wants $17 for return shipping fee? Pretty lame. So buyer beware, measure your housing first!

This hitch will be used with my new Kuat bike trailer.

This does not fit a 2006 ford explorer. The 7pin plug is too close to the reciever. The pin goes through but the lock will not go on the pin. The pin will not go in the other way. O have these on my 2006 f250 and they work great so far!

Well built and designed trailer hitch, fits great with my GMC. Recommended this unit to all who have a multi-pro tailgate on their truck.

This hitch lock was exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t want one too long with a lot of back and forth play in it. So it was a perfect fit. Holding up very well. Would buy again….
