Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the Hitch Pin and Clip for 2-1/2" and 3" Hitches

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the JR Products Hitch Pin and Clip. This is for your two and a half inch, like what we have here, and three inch hitches. So here we have our standard five eighths pin for two inch hitches. Compare that to our JR Products hitch pin, and you can see some differences, mainly the span. So for your two and a half inch hitch receivers, you're gonna want a longer span. This one has four and three quarter inches of usable length.

This can also be used for your three inch hitch receivers because of its length. Now, notice with the clip here, it goes into the hole just to help keep the everything in place. Everything is made of steel, but they also have this chrome plated finish for looks, but also to help resist corrosion. Very easy to install, as long as your accessory is lined up in the hitch pin hole, you can pop this through. This also will work with your two inch hitch receivers.

Just be mindful of the extra space that is needed around the hitch pin so that you can use it. Now, the diameter of this pin is five eighths of an inch, which is pretty standard for your class three and above hitch receivers. And you saw that right here. This was a look at the JR Products Hitch Pin and Clip for your two and a half inch and three inch hitch receivers at etrailer.com.

The pin is very sturdy and the length is great for my 2.5" hitch receiver. The problem I have is that a hitch is only as good as the weakest link and the clip that comes with this pin is not good.

I used this pin and clip for the first time on a 300 mile trip to Virginia. About halfway into the trip, we stopped for a break and I checked the setup. I found that the clip on the pin was on the verge of popping off. As the pin rotated, the clip hit the back of the hitch and it started to work itself loose. I am not sure if it would have been able to completely pop off, but it was concerning enough that I removed this pin and used another that I had handy. I will not use this one unless I can get a better clip for it. (note that I did not get a picture during the trip. The picture here is one I took after the trip to show what I experienced)

For comparison, I took a picture of the clip that came with this pin (the shiny one) next to the one I've been using for many years with no issues. You can see how much larger the gaps are on this clip and how much smaller the recess is where the pin rests. I can easily remove this clip by hand where the other clip I need a screwdriver to get some leverage.

The pin is great, but I would not trust the clip that comes with it.

Description said it was 5/8" in diameter but it's just over 2" in diameter length said 4-3/4" span and it was almost 6".

Thank you for your review. This hitch pin is for 2.5 and 3 inch hitch receivers. To measure the diameter, take a ruler to the end of the pin instead of around like your photo suggests. Also, we measure the useable length of the hitch pin so not the bent part that does not go into the hitch receiver. Please watch this video for more info:

Worked as expected



by:

One year later and still working great…, and looks great too!



by:

This pin is exactly what I needed. The clip is heavy duty too. The right tool for the job!



by:

I wanted a longer hitch pin to make it easier to install and remove (the clip on the hitch pin I had was right up against the receiver - hard to install or remove). This was perfect.



by:

For the larger hitches this pin is perfect. Because of all the thefts, I prefer to take my entire hitch off and remove all doubt. This pin is perfect for the occasional towing job. If I was going for something more permanent I would probably want a locking pin.



by:

Nice hitch. Innovative. Being able to easily pivot the ball hitch out of the way when unused is very nice. A 3" hitch isn't cheap. I'm happy I spent my money on this one.
And above all, made in America with American steel!

Been a good hitch, no complaints

  • Does Longer Hitch Pin Need to Be Used for etrailer Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve
    Since the etrailer Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve # e28JR fits into a 2-1/2" receiver you need to make sure the pin you're using is able to reach all the way through. Some pins made for 2" receivers can still fit the larger 2-1/2" receivers, but as a general rule of thumb you'll likely need a larger pin. If you don't already have one I recommend picking up the Hitch Pin and Clip # 37201065 which is just a standard pin but it will work with this reducer sleeve perfectly.

  • How is the Reese Titan Hitch Box Extension Supported and Does it Require Stabilization Chains
    The trailer hitch on the truck is what supports the extension. The extension is designed to fit in a 2-1/2 inch receiver (measuring on the inside) and the receiver part of the extension has a 2 inch receiver opening. The only thing you need for the extension is a properly sized hitch pin like # 37201065. For lateral, back and forth movement of the extension, it is normal to see some play. Reese does not make any lateral stabilization chains for the Titan extensions. You will need to attach...

  • Why Wont etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit Fit Ford Factory 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver
    The reason the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kits for 2-1/2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Rise or 5" Drop # EBMK25518 (as well as 1-1/2" Rise or 3" Drop # EBMK25318) will not fit the factory 2-1/2" hitch receiver on your 2018 Ford F-350 is that those receivers have edges which are a bit rounder than standard hitch receivers and this ball mount has square edges. I recommend checking out the Titan Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Receivers # 45123 which has a 5" drop and from the accompanying photo you can see how the...

  • Hitch Extender for 2-1/2 Hitch on 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty
    It seems like you have a 2-1/2" hitch on your 2016 Ford F-350 and for that you can use Extension # RP45292, which you can secure to your hitch with Pin and Clip # 37201065, though be aware it may not work with some OEM Class V hitches that have rounded edges. This extension can be used at 34" which will give you a towing capacity of 4,500 lbs or 6,000 lbs if you are using a weight distribution system. Keep in mind this extension will reduce the receiver to 2" so if your current ball mount...

  • How to Use Bike Rack in 3 inch Trailer Hitch of 2017 Ford F-350
    What you need is the Buyer's Products part # 337RTA302 which fits your 3 inch hitch and gives you a 2 inch hitch for the bike rack to fit. This slides into your 3 inch hitch and then gives you a 2 inch hitch that sticks out a bit from the 3 inch hitch opening. This allows the bike hitch pin to work normally since essentially the rack is attaching to a 2 inch hitch like it is designed for. You'll need a pin for the adapter in the 3 inch hitch; use # 37201065 for a pin or # 63259 for a lock.

  • Is It Safe To Pull My 6,000lb Travel Trailer With A Trailer Hitch Reducer?
    If you are using a reducer sleeve such as Curt Reducer Sleeve 2-1/2" to 2" # C45405 or Blue Ox Hitch Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch # BX88187, then you will not have an issue as this style does not typically reduce the towing capacity and you will simply go by the towing capacity of your vehicle and hitch. However, you will want to look up that exact model/brand reducer or provide us with the information to make sure that there is no reduction in towing capacity. If you are...

  • Recommendation for a Class V Trailer Hitch that Will Fit a 2007 Dodge Ram with Factory Trailer Hitch
    We do have several trailer hitches that are designed to fit beneath the factory trailer hitch on a 2007 Dodge Ram. You can use Curt Trailer Hitch # C15704 if you want a 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver. Hitch # C15409 has a 2 inch receiver. The recommended ball mount for a 2-1/2 inch hitch is # RP45323, and you can use pin and clip # 37201065. For a ball you can use # A-90 (2 inch diameter) or # 19286 (2-5/16 inch diameter). For trailer wiring, if your truck has a tow package with a 7-Way...

  • Hitch Receiver Cover for 2-1/2 Receiver on 2016 Ford F-350
    I may have a solution for you, but the # AUT-F352-RB is designed to fit on 2" receivers; you may be able to make it work, but it's just going to rattle around back there. The only hitch cover we currently have available for 2-1/2" hitches is the # C22277, which would fit on the 2-1/2" receiver you've got. With that said, you could add a hitch reducer sleeve like the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" # BWRHXA2182, which would reduce the receiver down to a 2" receiver. This...

  • Recommended 2-1/2 to 2 Reducer Sleeve for 2019 Ford F-250
    The hitch reducer sleeve I strongly recommend for the 2-1/2" hitch on your 2019 Ford F-250 is the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve # BWRHXA2182 because it has two sets of pin holes to allow for a more custom fit on your Ford hitch. If your F-250 has a Ford factory hitch or Draw-Tite hitch, insert the reducer sleeve so the pinched ends face the sides; if you have a Curt aftermarket hitch, insert the sleeve so that the ends are positioned on the top and bottom of your receiver. That sleeve...

  • Can Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount Fit 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver
    There is not a multipurpose ball mount that fits a 2-1/2 inch receiver, but that said, you can use a reducer sleeve for your 2-1/2 inch hitch and it won't reduce the tongue weight when using the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers # D210. Tongue weight capacity is reduced with hitch extenders, but not with sleeves, so you won't lose any capacity with the # D210 and the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" # C45405.

  • Weight Capacity of Curt Class V 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver, Part # C15810
    You are correct that the product description for the Curt Class V 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver, Part # C15810, shows the same tongue weight and gross towing weight ratings with and without weight distribution. This is because unlike lower capacity hitches, say a Class III, this Class V hitch is already rated at or near the vehicle structural limits. Strictly speaking, adding a weight distribution setup would give this hitch receiver higher capacity, but it would serve no purpose. Unless...

  • Clevis Hitch Connections For Trailer With Two-Tang Clevis With 1" Clevis Pin
    If your truck has a 2" hitch receiver and you want to make connections with a 1" clevis pin then you can use the MaxxTow # MT70034 two-tang clevis rated for 5,000 pounds. If you need more capacity you could use the Convert-A-Ball # AMCC2 rated for 10,000 pounds, or the Gen-Y # 325-GH-069 rated for 21,000 pounds. You will also need a 5/8" hitch pin to hold your clevis on your truck receiver like the chrome plated JR Products # 37201065. For the equipment end you will need a 1" clevis...

  • What Tool Can be Used for Cutting Down Titan Hitch Box Extension
    A cut-off wheel would be great for cutting down the Titan Hitch Box Extension # RP45018. Most people without access to those type of tools use something basic like a hacksaw for cutting the extension so your set up is going to be a much less strenuous process. As far as brackets that attach to an OEM hitch, that is not something that we offer, and there is going to be a bit of back and forth play with the extension, but it will be firmly in the hitch so long as you use the proper pin and...

  • Recommended Hitch Pin to Use with 2-1/2 Receiver and Ball Mount on 2016 Dodge Ram Pickup
    For a hitch pin to use with the 3 inch outer diameter (2-1/2 inch receiver opening) hitch on your 2016 Dodge Ram Pickup, I recommend the Hitch Pin and Clip for 2-1/2" and 3" Hitches - 5/8" Diameter x 4-3/4" Span # 37201065. This Pin and Clip is designed to fit 2-1/2 inch or 3-inch trailer hitches and has a diameter of 5/8 inches, making it compatible with the 5/8 inch hole on your ball mount as well.

We don't have a stainless steel option, but you could use the etrailer # e65TR which has a 4-1/2" span and it has a durable black finish or the JR Products # 37201065 which has a 4-3/4" span and is chrome plated.

This sturdy steel ball mount will slide right into the 2-1/2 inch receiver without the need for an additional adapter and its polyurethane interior acts as a shock absorber to reduce bounce and vibration.

If you have the Titan Forged Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # RP45294, it will match up to attach to the Curt Pintle Hook Combo # C48200. You will also need to use a 5/8 inch diameter pin like the Titan Trailer Hitch Pin and Clip, part # 37201065.

    You will not be able to remove the factory hitch on your 2007 Dodge Ram because it is welded and integrated into the bumper cross member which it welded to the truck frame. You would need to use a hitch that fits around the factory hitch. For a Class V hitch, you can use Curt # C15809. This hitch will also give you a 2-1/2 inch receiver and a capacity of 2,700 pounds tongue weight and 20,000 pounds gross trailer weight.

  • Is the Curt 5-Bike Rack Easy to Remove and Install
    The Curt Premium 5-Bike Rack # C18065 is not difficult to install and remove but it will take more time than other 5-bike racks. The reason for this is it uses a threaded anti-wobble hitch pin to lock inside your hitch that needs to be screwed in and unscrewed to install and remove the rack.

If you were to use a weight distribution system when carrying your horse trailer you would be ok to use the Curt # 13333 Hitch. Tongue weight is calculated to be about 10 to 15 percent of the Gross Trailer Weight. I would recommend using the Curt Class V Trailer Hitch, part # C15409. This hitch will...
