Designed for standard 2" hitches, this hitch lock has a covered keyhole and chrome plating to help prevent corrosion. Sturdy steel construction ensures long-lasting dependability. Can be keyed alike to match other etrailer locks.I purchased this to replace a similar locking pin that had begun to show wear after 15 years of rigorous towing. I believe this pin is well made and will last another 15 years.
I chose this Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock because of its ease of use. The screw on/off function makes installation and removal easy. I also purchased a Trailer Coupler Lock from e-trailer and was able to have both locks keyed alike.
This was the recommended receiver lock for a 2" hitch. It fit the hole of the hitch on the trailer but was to large for the etrailer tire mount hitch hole, even though this was their recommended part. Also these locks are a little "wonky". The key actually turns an internal screw that screws into the lock cap. Difficult to undo and relies on the key to tighten or loosen. Sooner or later the key is going to break or bend and get stuck. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. There are better ones out there.
Cool to follow up on your product. The multi-ball works as it should. I bought it since I didn't know if the trailer I would get would be 2" or 2 1/4. I tow a 4,000 # trailer/race car with it.
It's a heavy piece to carry around, but I feel that it will last a good many years. I did make a spacer to cram into the receiver, so the hitch doesn't rattle as much.
Otherwise it's great.

Should work as advertised. However, this pin does interfere with the safety cable holes in the Roadmaster Spare Tire carrier with hitch receiver. I'm hoping the safety chains are long enough to reach the hitch mounts
Great idea! Never have to worry about my bike carrier disappearing!

Works GREAT! Not any problems with it and dont expect any! Thanks!
Most will never believe this, but i ordered this locking pin to use in conjunction with the other pin that is the exact same as this one. Except the 1st pin has been installed and in service since late 2009. I used it to hold a hitch in the receiver tube of my motorhome that coupled our hauler trailer to the motorhome. I recently decided we would start flat towing a car, instead of the hauler trailer with the expedition on it.
so i needed one more locking hitch pin to use with the tow bar rise/drop receiver adapter. When i removed the first pin, i expected it to be rusty and not unlockable. SURPRISE, a little wd 40 in the key hole to aid in key insertion and BAM she unlocked and was clean as a whistle.
it was a no brainer to order an exact duplicate for use now.

still works perfect
The locking mechanism got jammed after a few uses and I could not screw it back together when I needed it the most, it was a very frustrating experience trying to lock it and, even after getting off the freeway, I could never reconnect the two ends of this receiver lock. I had to buy a new one from a local store just to make the trip home. I do not recommend this product because the way it locks makes it vulnerable to stress.
Yes the trailer, ball hitch and battery you installed worked great. It has served us well and you did a great job.
I have several of these locking pins that were all keyed alike. I lost one and the good folks at etrailer were able to send me a matching replacement. Now I don't have to distribute multiple keys to everyone. I've used a number of locking pins in the past and this is my favorite. No tiny flange that barely grips the pin that feels like you could pull it apart with your hands. You rotate the key several times and it screws the two parts together. A much better system
It does not fit through the hole in the Kuat bike rack that I own.
Straight out of the box looks and feels great. Fits nice and snug inside the 2" Curt hitch receiver. Too early to comment on service life and durability under wet weather conditions but hope for good desired outcome.

No issues after a year of use and exposure to rain and frequent car wash treatments. Thanks for checking and you are welcome
The item was not long enough to go through my 2019 Toyota tundra receiver hitch. I’m having to return it after calling and getting a real nice help from Trevor to get a longer one sent to me and return this one for Credit.
My second pair for a different hitch. No rattle and no issues for over 5000 miles. Love the option of keyed alike option for less keys. Highly recommend and excellent customer service and support!
This was a recommendation as an added purchase by the company that did work. Better than others I’ve seen that lock with a barrel key (easy to break into), this one has an actual key.
Have bought a second pair due to the quality of it. Have used it to travel half the country without any issues. During my second pair for another hitch, I incurred an issue in getting the correct one but the customer service was there each time to resolve the problem and in a timely manner!
Strong nice to keep spare tire mount se cure
Lock pin works great. Good quality and would buy again.
No issues. Works well with the hitch ex tender!
Too short to fit hitch even though website states it will fit 2 inch hitches.
My husband is a proud Bluewater Vietnam Navy Veteran, celebrating his 50th year anniversary of coming home. My husband is retired & I decided to get a trailer hitchcover for his old truck, to compliment his combat veteran's license plate.
While searching for a unique, eye catching hitchcover, I came across etrailer.com. The cover I chose is eye catching, unique & a sturdy heavy plastic. It was easy to install & the lock, purchased with it, will keep it in place!
He loved the cover - and the price! PS: Still young at heart!
Great service, good selection of parts.
Doesn't fit 2021 Tundra 2" receiver as it's too short and locking mechanism won't engage. However it does fit our 03 Tacoma so I'll keep it.

For the Toyota Tacoma with has a thicker 2 inch OEM receiver, I recommend part # e98881 which has a 3.62 inch span.
The screw-style unlock seems less susceptible to sticking from being in the weather.

Through rain, snow salt, and mud, this lock remains easy to operate with no corrosion, sticking, or other malfunction.
The product looked to have the features that fit my criteria. Use and installation was simple,and the product video was very helpful and accurate.

I have now used this locking pin for two towing seasons - approximately 11,000 miles. The pin continues to work correctly, although I am bit disappointed that it has begun to show a bit more wear than I expected after two seasons. To be fair I have traveled about as many miles over the past two years as I did in the four previous years before that.
