• Longest Trailer Hitch Lock for 10 Locks Keyed Alike
  The Blue Ox # BX88177 consists of two 1/2 inch diameter and 2 5/8 inch diameter pins. They are only able to have the 4 keyed alike.

• How to Use the Thule T2 Bike Rack with a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch
  You are on the right track. The only way we have that will allow you to use the Thule T2 Pro Xtr Bike Platform Rack part # TH69TX with the 2.5" receiver tube opening on your truck would be with adapter. For this, I recommend the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender part # HR26. This adapter offers both a reducer from 2.5" to 2" and an extension of 7" from the center of each hitch pin hole. This 7" extension will have more than enough room for the shank of the T2 to securely rest inside. It...

• Is Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount Overkill For Smaller Trailer
  Hey Manny, Even with a smaller trailer, it is not overkill and you can absolutely benefit using the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # 325-GH-12001. A trailer, regardless of size, is still going to be rigid, bounce, and affect the ride of your tow vehicle and the trailer. So adding some cushioning like you get with the Glyder is definitely a good idea, and something I recommend. So if you do decide to go with the ball mount you'll also need a hitch ball, either...

• Longer Hitch Pin for a Yakima Bike Rack Being Used on a 2024 Toyota Tacoma w/the Thicker 2" Receiver
  Thanks for the pictures John! I reached out to Yakima and they are aware of the double wall receiver on the new Toyota's but do not have a solution for it as of (09/12/2024). The only solution I have for you today is to drill out the threads on your bike rack and use the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock item # e98881. This is designed to fit both 2" and 2-1/2" receivers so the diameter will be the same and the added length will get you past Toyota's double walled receiver.

  Hey Jesse, Cool name. Correct spelling too lol. You came to the right place. I will go into this assuming your 2022 Ranger has no trailer hitch or trailer wiring connection of any kind.

• Can The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Be Used On a Class V, 2-1/2 Receiver?
  The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 will only fit a 1-1/4" or 2" receiver directly. You can use a Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender # HR26 that will allow for the stinger to fit on your vehicle. The stinger that holds the rack into the receiver will not work on a 2-1/2" or 3" receiver. The Curt Anti-Rattle Hitch Clamp # C87UR will take the rattle out of the extender and allow for the entire bike rack to be solid as it has its own built in anti-rattle for the 2" or 1-1/4" receivers....

• What Hitch Pin Will Work With etrailer Class 3 Hitch e98902
  Hello Paul, thanks for reaching out. The etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e98902 has a standard 5/8" hitch pin hole. Any hitch pin for a 2" hitch should be this same 5/8" diameter. That diameter is very common. A hitch pin such as part # e98881 is what I recommend to go with the # e98902 hitch. What hitch pin did you buy? Was it not a 5/8" diameter pin?

• Does the etrailer Hitch e84ZV Come w/ a Lock?
  Hey Amber. The etrailer Hitch item # e84ZV you bought from us doesn't have any locks on it and I do not see an order for a bike rack or a locking hitch pin like item # e98881. It sounds like either you or the mechanic installed a bike rack and a locking hitch pin that locks with an Ace key. I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer of the bike rack or calling a locksmith for a replacement.

• Is there an Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for a Kuat Bike Rack That Fits the Wider 2" Toyota Receiver?
  Hey James. The Threaded Hitch Pin for Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device item # TH62RE you were looking at has different threads than the item # HLT so it won't work on a Kuat bike rack. Kuat does not have an extended anti rattle hitch pin that's compatible with the new 2" receiver on the 2025 Tacoma's. If you can get the threaded portion out of your Kuat bike racks shank you can use our etrailer Hitch Pin Lock item # e98881 to mount and secure it. This is the only option...

• Can The Hitch Receiver Lock e98881 Work With My 14k BulletProof Hitch?
  Hey Derek, As long as your BulletProof Hitch is a 2" or 2-1/2" receiver the hitch lock # e98881 is going to work for you. They use the standard 5/8 pin diameter for those size hitch accessories. One thing I recommend double checking it how much length you will need in case of anything that may interfere. The pin is 6-7/8" long so as long as that is a usable length for your setup this lock will work great for you. What are you towing with that BulletProof Hitch?

• Long Adjustable Ball Mount For 11,000 lb Trailer
  So there isn't a 6 inch hitch extender for a 2 inch hitch that has an 11,000 lb capacity and 1,200 lb tongue weight capacity, and hitch extenders also reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50 percent, so they are generally just used for accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. That means the best option we can offer is a ball mount with an extended reach, which may work for you depending on the distance you need. The longest ball mount that has the capacity you need is from BulletProof...

• Availability of Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch Pin For Towing
  Hi Brian; the reason you aren't seeing an anti-rattle hitch pin for towing is because they're all designed to fit hollow shanks. A ball mount like the # BWTS10035B you were looking at is going to have a solid shank which means the anti-rattle won't work. What you can use instead is the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches # RM-061. This fits around the receiver and shank to keep it secure so it will work with anything. Then you can add a standard locking hitch pin like the # e98881.
